Got Plate Lunch

A Taste of Aloha in Benicia - Got Plate Lunch Delivers! I still remember my first visit to Got Plate Lunch back when they were on First Street in Benicia. They had taken over the second location of Gumbah's, the beloved Chicago-style eatery from Vallejo. And speaking of Gumbah's--can we take a moment to mourn the loss of their classic Italian beef? But I digress...Craving some Hawaiian comfort food in a sit-down spot, I looked them up and discovered they had moved to 9th Avenue, right near the boat launch and beach access. Parking is a bit tight at the restaurant, but no worries--there's plenty across the street at the park.As soon as we stepped into the cozy white building, we were warmly greeted and quickly seated at the last available table--always a good sign! The menu looked fantastic, but the specials on the chalkboard caught our attention, so we decided to order different dishes and share the love. Our Picks: Hawaiian Hamburger Steak (aka Loco Moco without the egg) with extra grilled onions (+$1) Garlic Shrimp Special Each dish came with sticky rice and a generous scoop of legit Hawaiian mac salad, the kind that transports you straight to the islands. The Verdict? "Broke da Mouth" Good!I'm not usually a shrimp fanatic, but the garlic sauce and rice combo was absolutely delicious--bold in flavor without being overly salty (a common gripe of mine). The Hamburger Steak was fresh and juicy, clearly made with high-quality beef rather than the frozen patties some places serve. And the gravy? Oh, it was on point--smooth, rich, and flavorful without that dreaded clumpy or gray texture.As a bonus, they sell merch like T-shirts and shot glasses. Being the savvy shopper I am, I checked, and their shot glasses were less than half the price of the same ones on Amazon! Naturally, one came home with us, along with memories of a fantastic meal and a stunning view of the Carquinez Strait.If you're in Benicia and craving authentic Hawaiian flavors, Got Plate Lunch is a must-visit. Delicious food, friendly vibes, and a little slice of Aloha right here in the Bay Area! PS They have a Vegan Menu on the Chalkboard

Good friendly service and decent food , we used to visit them when they were located at the 1st street Benicia. Friday night came and we wanted something different , and we always wondered where they went so glad the business is still there . Different location and same food quality , portions are enough and depending out your appetite it can either be shared or for yourself . Will be back, and they might need to expand their menu a bit more though . Reason why they weren't given 5 stars it took a while for the food to arrive our table .

We're BAAAAACK!!!Came back again today and YES! This place is STILL THE BEST HAWAIIAN FOOD in the area! I mean it is better than ALL of the others including the higher end Trader Vic's in Emeryville. The only difference is this place doesn't have a full service bar (meaning hard liquor. They do have beer though). The Spam MuWasabi is AMAZING! The wasabi aioli is killer! But even the regular Spam Musubi is great. This is my second time coming here and my SECOND 5 STAR REVIEW! This place doesn't miss. I promise you that you wont be disappointed. Thank you again "Got Plate Lunch" for being so DAMN good!

A hidden Hawaiian gem located here in Benicia. Wow, your taste buds will get your mouth watering. Parking available with a nice view of the Carquinez Bridge and Carquinez Strait of boats passing through. Service knows the answer to your question, menu shows history. I enjoyed their mac salad and hamburger steak with gravy. I thought the hamburger steak portion was small but it was very filling. I would definitely come back.

It's been a while - a great while/ they moved to the 9th st and I'm happy they did- it's cute - easy parking around the side - I didn't know and parked on the. Oat dock area- the menu is better than before from what I can remember- the mini plates are just enough for us- with those you don't get the macaroni salad ? I was confused by that but I guess I missed that on the menu- chicken katsu and the spicy bbq beef- iced tea- it's a good visit- kinda cramped it depends on where you sit I guess- all in all we will be back - service is fast- they speak too fast - In a rush to not forget the special ? I don't know - they do have vegan options so look on the board- It used to be an old burger place in town I forget the name - my kids went here often - not it's the new Hawaiian got plate lunch - I'm happy they stayed in town

I've been visiting Got Plate for over 10 years - their food truck, there old location on first street, and now this spot. Crowd favorites like the barbecue chicken and loco moco are always to die for. I ordered the bbq chicken plate with added grilled onions. I also swapped one of my two scoops of rice for an extra scoop of that Mac salad! Spam musubi is also my go-to appetizer. I ordered all of my food to go and enjoyed it from home, but I can't wait to dine with a view during my next visit.

Got here shortly after opening on a weekend. Thought this place would have been packed but it never had more than 2 other tables sat the whole time we were there. Service was attentive even though employees stood around and talked to each other a lot. Even the cook poking his head out the food window to chat often. Out dishes were perfect. We all got a version/size of the loco moco. The side of macaroni salad was amazing. Not to sweet and not to saucey. Just the way I love it. Can't wait to go back and try more menu items...as the food and view are so worth it.

This place is so amazing! The food is great, I usually get the loco moco or spam musubi. The staff is so good aswell, and the music they play/the decoration makes you feel like you are in hawaii! I highly reccomend you come here to dinner with ur family!

Hawaii feeling a little too far Away? That's fine ! Come to Got plate lunch . I had their chicken katsu and Friday special of Garlic shrimp : it did not disappoint ! My family is from Maui and Oahu and it felt like home . From the views , the outriggers outside , the smell of sunscreen in the parking lot , the music and the welcoming staff - a Hawaiian get away is no further than 9th street in Benicia ca .

My girlfriend and I have been here twice now and it has now become one of our newest favorite brunch spots to come too. Their food is so darn good and it really does feel like you're eating at home in Hawaii. The owner is super friendly and nice and is interactive with his customers. The staff is super efficient, friendly and very kind. We love coming here, the location it is currently placed in is perfect. The inside is super comforting and you have a very nice view of the water to look out too from the windows :) the atmosphere is so amazing!
