This is definitely one of the best authentic Hawaiian food that you can get here in the Bay Area. They work in a ghost kitchen, which means it isn't a restaurant. You order through their website and select a time for pickup. They only operate on Thursday-Saturday with time slots for pickup being very limited. I recommend ordering at least a week before you plan to pickup because there won't be available times if you order the week of.Hawaiian Garlic Shrimp: I am so amazed by how this tastes. Those who have went to Hawaii, this is the closest thing to Giovanni's Shrimp Truck in Hawaii. The shrimp is cooked to perfection and there is TONS of garlic. This is a must get!!!Original Spam Musubi: Great meat to rice ratio. They put big pieces of spam inside so every bite is flavorful. The spam is cooked with a tangy sweet sauce, which is how it is supposed to be everywhere.Chicken Katsu Musubi: The chicken is so tender! Skin of the chicken is crispy and the pickled cabbage tops it all off. The cabbage gives a nice crunch and refreshing taste to balance out the fried taste with the chicken katsu.

I'm thrilled to have discovered this hidden gem! After my trip to Honolulu, I've been dreaming of musubi, and this place truly hits the spot. Their musubi is simply delicious and totally satisfies my cravings. To get the best experience, I recommend ordering ahead, ideally a few days in advance, and picking it up on Friday or Saturday when they're open. A huge thank you to the team for making such amazing food!

Was looking for a place to get lunch and happened to see that this place was open. It's only open for limited hours on Friday and Saturday at the moment so I wasted no time in ordering. I did an online pickup order but they didn't have a QR code on the pickup if you wanted order it there (although I recommend just ordering online beforehand)The garlic shrimp was very flavorful and and a good size. Tried the chicken katsu, pineapple and spam, and egg and spam musubi which were all decent but favorite had to be the egg and spam. Definitely a good option if you're looking for a quick and lighter takeout lunch. It's a shared kitchen concept restaurant so there's no dine in. Parking spots in front of the storefront that has a "the Kitchen" sign.

Was really excited to try this place but unfortunately it fell short of my expectations, it's located in this industrial plaza that looks like it's a parking lot for a factory or something, they also share the space with a dessert restaurant which confused the heck out of me at first since the dessert place had their QR code displayed very clearly, the QR code for Hapa Musbi is taped to the table by the door actually. The prices are a bit high considering the size IMO, and there is also a pretty long wait to get the food. The food wasn't BAD but for the price I expected it to be a bit better and bigger.

I can't eat spam so I ordered the Kalua pork plate. Comes with one standard musubi, which I swapped out with colleague for a chicken katsu version. I didn't care for it, but I will like to try the CA roll version next time. The kalua pork was moist but not greasy and not drenched in sauce. Comes with rice and cabbage to make a full meal with various flavor profiles. Right priced, and easy.

Hawaiian favorites in a Ghost Kitchen, so excited to find out about Hapa Musubi. You have to preorder and pickup from the location, no in person dine in and take out.They do rotations of special menu items for Friday, always some kind of Hawaiian inspired dish. Hawaiin Garlic Shrimp: One look at it and you know the inspiration was Giovanni's. Grilled whole shrimp in butter covered in garlic with rice and lemon for dressing. Tasted great and enjoyed it 4/5. There were pools of butter on bottom of the tray that did not look appealing visually but you don't eat it.POG juice: Passionfruit, orange juice, and guava. Whole family enjoyed this and it went really well to chill the garlic out from the garlic-shrimp plate.Musubi: I love spam musubi and went crazy trying all their variations. We got spam and kimchi, egg, cucumber, and original. Also got the chicken katsu musubi. We tried eating one as-is and thought there was too much rice in the musubi, it tasted much better with 50% of the rice removed so you get a more even amount of rice+filling in each bite. The plastic wrapping for each also had a very delicate little pull tab that would rip off without unpeeling the whole package.

We were driving through town and was looking for some snacks. Hapa Musubi popped up on my map.Location is not retail but inside a warehouse near VTA. You have to order online which was fine as we only waited 10 minutes.Everything was piping hot as it was made to order. It was so good! We ordered the tofu katsu, Cali, and chicken katsu. Wished it was a little bigger or maybe full square! Will return to try other fillings.They share this location with a pastry business as well!

Just like Hapa Musubi's business itself, so much has changed since I first tried Hapa Musubi. It was shortly before the pandemic where they had a storefront and I got to take pics in front of the You Had Me at Aloha Sign and all those Spam cans on the wall.The next was front door pickup at the same location, then from a shared kitchen like so many businesses that have changed their model. Then came their closure. But like true Hawaiian fashion, it is not good-bye but until we meet again and they have reopened at the shared kitchenWhat has not changed is their delicious musubis that has a good amount of filling and not just a lot of rice filler. Having tried pretty much everything at least once following them whereever they went, we have narrowed down our faves to the chicken katsu, shrimp tempura, and traditional spam and egg. The garlic shrimp, although tasty, was way too oily as a musubi and would be better off as a plate lunch.

I could not find this place for the life of me. I kept thinking my gps was taking me to the wrong spot. I circled around so many times but I kept ending up in some odd industrial area. If you think you're in the wrong spot, then ur absolutely on track! If you see large trucks, a couple of big rigs and strewn lumber then you're there. Just walk towards the store fronts and you'll see it. I couldn't get a photo of the musubis because I started to scarf them down before I could get into my car. Ordered the kimchi & spam/egg. Both delicious. I was a big fan of the kimchi flavored one. Definitely getting that again. Also ordered the garlic shrimp plate. Shrimps are huge. They were nice and meaty, and they certainly don't skimp out on the garlic. I'll be returning shortly to try the other flavors on the menu.
