The Hawaiian Islands are known for their luaus with festively costumed dancers and lively, tropical music, but it’s the food that really sets the mood. When you think of Hawaiian cuisine, you might conjure up thoughts of warm, sunny beaches and palm trees swaying in the breeze. We may not have palm trees and tropical beaches in Washington State, but we found a hidden gem where you can experience a taste of the islands anytime you want. Bobby’s Hawaiian Style Restaurant has been keeping the Aloha Spirit alive in Washington since 2000, and if you haven’t tried it yet, you’re in for a mouth-watering surprise.

Bobby’s Hawaiian Style Restaurant is conveniently located off Highway 99 in Lynnwood.

Bobby and Diana Nakihei moved to Lynnwood, Washington, from their home in Honolulu in 1989. Growing up enjoying the flavors of the island, they were hard-pressed to find authentic Hawaiian cuisine in their new home. Out of a desire to introduce their community to the unique foods of their beloved Hawaii, Bobby’s Hawaiian Style Restaurant was born.

Bobby’s is family owned and operated.

With an emphasis on sharing their love for Hawaiian food and culture, Bobby’s has created a space to enjoy great Island cuisine in a warm and welcoming setting.

The menu at Bobby’s will have your mouth watering.

If you want to try a variety of Hawaiian flavors, order a Bento Plate. The Kalbi Ribs, Teriyaki Chicken, Shrimp Tempura, and sticky rice Bento Plate is a local favorite.

Bobby’s Hawaiian Style Restaurant has the Guy Fieri stamp of approval.

Food Network’s Guy Fieri loves Bobby’s classic dishes like Kalua Pork, Lomi Lomi Salmon, and Spam Musubi.

For a different take on the traditional Japanese noodle bowl, try the Saimin

Saimin, the National Dish of Hawaii, is a unique noodle soup fusion that takes inspiration from various cultures including Japan, China, and the Philippines.

Traditional Hawaiian macaroni salad is a staple in Island cuisine.

Simple ingredients blended perfectly with a slightly sweet and mildly tangy, creamy dressing make this the perfect side dish to complement your entrée.

Don’t forget to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Malasadas are fried donuts, similar to beignets. This Portuguese sweet treat has become a favorite confection in Hawaii. Bobby’s Malasadas have cream, or fruit-filled centers, and are sprinkled with sweet, cane sugar.
