The Lanai - Encinitas

This restaurant is absolutely delicious and a perfect choice for both locals and out-of-towners looking for a great place to eat. The food is high quality and the owners are very pleasant and friendly. Before coming here, I had never even considered trying Hawaiian food, but now I wish I could bring them home with me!

This restaurant is a great option for lunch! My spouse and I stopped by for a quick meal and brought our dog along, who was warmly welcomed. The outdoor seating area provides plenty of shade and is perfect for any type of weather. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich while my spouse got the poke bowl. We will definitely be returning for more delicious meals!

Brian prepared my lunch plate just like they do back home. The poke was perfect and the lau lau was on point. Thank you, Brian!

So we check out da place cause my bro wants Hawaiian grinds. The vibe is laid back and the guys taking orders are helpful too. Everything was on point solid better than going to an L L and the Poke was Jammin. Charsu Spam fried rice, freakin awesome! I love Lau Lau and theirs was legit and betta than any place in N County. My bro and I are Hawaiian and dis place took us home, Good Vibes definitely Ono Grinds

I love this place! Great sandwiches. Fermented hot sauce is hands down the best. Great service too! Very cool workers. U raised the vegetarian Bahn Mi to 14 bucks now. Make sure there is enough beets and it's not just Cole slaw every time for that price. It's a great veggie sandwich. But when there is no meat 14 bucks makes me get busted on by my friends and family for buying it.
