Hawaiian restaurants do not seem to last long in San Leandro - probably because at one time there were too many of them for this market - but Alohana Hawaiian Grill has the fortune of being located near Target in the Bayfair Mall. Given how atrocious the food at Target is, I'd imagine that hungry people shopping there would not mind stopping at Alohana for some food.

We went there a couple of weeks ago, after watching a movie at Cinemark Theaters, and it was a good experience. The food was good - just as good as our Hawaiian restaurant of choice, Ono - and the portions were very generous. I can't say much more than that, and that I'd definitely come back if I was hungry while shopping there.

Now, don't get there expecting any kind of ambiance. The dining room is very small, this was definitely planned as a take-out place, but it's serviceable.
