The Golden Pineapple has quietly slipped into Midtown Sacramento’s lunch scene, plating up Hawaiian-style plate lunches, rice bowls, ramen and poke right next to a full deli counter. The fast-casual spot leans on Hawaiian home-cooking, California-style sandwiches and a grab-and-go rhythm. Early regulars are already calling the katsu sandos and kalua pig plates their new neighborhood staples.
Two concepts under one roof
As reported by The Sacramento Bee, The Golden Pineapple is the latest project from Kupros Craft House owners Keegan Currey and Steve Tokuhama, who split the former Sunny’s Market space into a Hawaiian counter and a California-style deli. Diners can walk in, pick either side, then mix and match across both menus on the same ticket. The owners told local reporters they wanted a compact, takeout-focused setup that still makes room for family recipes.
Menu highlights
The menu runs from $12 rice bowls to $22 Hawaiian plates and covers kalua pig, chicken katsu, tonkotsu and Hawaiian saimin ramen, plus build-your-own poke bowls. Per Toast, signature items include the Poke Salad Sando, Katsu Sando and spam musubi. Smaller sides like mac salad and chicken long rice help keep most lunches under the $20 mark.
Where it sits in the neighborhood
The Golden Pineapple now operates at 2800 G Street, the longtime home of Sunny’s Market, following a multi-year buildout and permit delays, according to local coverage. Abridged 6 PBS KVIE reported that the owners soft-opened in late May and set up the interior with two separate ordering counters to reflect each concept. The side-by-side format taps into a broader Sacramento trend toward compact, hybrid quick-service spots in denser neighborhoods.
The restaurant’s own site describes the concept as a blend of “California fresh” and the “traditional flavors of Hawaii,” and it lists hours, contact details and ordering links for the Midtown location. The site also directs customers to online ordering and pickup from the G Street address, in line with the owners’ focus on neighborhood service and family-inspired cooking.
The Golden Pineapple is set up for both pickup and delivery and appears on major ordering platforms. Hours and ordering options are listed on Toast, and the spot is live for delivery on DoorDash, reflecting typical Midtown lunch-hour service. Expect short waits at peak midday times while the takeout operation settles into its groove.
