We’re proud to share that Kula Hawaiian Kitchen has been named Best Hawaiian Restaurant (Bronze) in the Tribune’s Best of the Central Coast Reader’s Choice Awards.
For a restaurant that’s only been open about 18 months, this recognition means a lot.
What makes it even more special is that this award comes directly from the community—locals and guests from across the county who voted based on their experiences with us. That kind of support doesn’t happen by accident, and we’re incredibly grateful for it.
A Different Kind of Dining Experience
From the beginning, our goal has been simple: bring something unique to the Central Coast.
Kula Hawaiian Kitchen blends bold island-inspired flavors with a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Whether you’re joining us for a casual lunch, dinner with friends, or a wine tasting paired with something a little different, we’ve always aimed to create an experience that feels both memorable and approachable.
Built by the Community
This recognition reflects not just our food, but the people who make Kula what it is every day:
- Our guests, who continue to support us and spread the word
- Our wine club members, who bring energy and community into the space
- Our team, who show up and deliver consistently
We’re especially thankful to everyone who took the time to vote. It means more than you might realize.
Come See What Earned the Votes
If you’ve been in before—thank you. If it’s been a while, we’d love to welcome you back. And if you haven’t visited yet, now’s a great time to see what people are talking about.
We’re here, cooking fresh, pouring great wine, and continuing to build something special in Atascadero.
