Honolulu BBQ

Bland food. No seasoning at all. Had the loco moco. Made with frozen hamburger patties. Rubbery.

I wanted to come here last week. I called and asked if they were open and they said yes. Later they called me back to tell me they were closing at 6pm that day. They didn't have to do that but that made me want to definitely try their food.

06 January 2025 update

I may have spoken too soon. I came here once again and this time the young lady was cooking in the back. I ordered a cheeseburger combo and the seasoning was burned onto the patty and was too salty. It was missing a tomato and honestly it was probably the worst burger I've ever had. If you come here, check to see who is cooking in the back because I tasted the love and care from the first time but also tasted the uncaring "just take your food and go" the next time.

Today I finally had a chance. I was going to stop at In-N-Out but as usual, the line was around the street. The Mrs and I went here instead. She ordered the Spam Mesubis and I ordered the Curry Katsu.

The food was delicious and the portions were generous. The rice, if you're carb hungry like me, was dished out as if they owned their own rice patty and didn't need to buy rice at all.

The chicken was juicy yet crispy and the curry was warm and delicious. The Mesubis were a thicker cut of spam compared to the other places like Ono that would give me slivers. I spent a little over $35 and I left feeling satisfied if not, full enough to be confident in going grocery shopping without buying extra stuff I don't need because of being hungry.

I would definitely come here again. It is a bit confusing to order though because you could order from the person but my ADHD brain went for the kiosk.

10/10 would definitely come eat here again.

I got the combo number 4, which is the barbecue mix, which had bbq chicken, beef, and short ribs along with the sides of rice and macaroni. It's really tasty. The restaurant was nice and clean and the service was amazing

My pulled pork mixed with cabbage was AMAZING, and my order came out very quick. You get a very generous portion.

The food didn’t taste fresh at all. The next morning I heated up my bbq chicken and it smelled old. I’m use to places like this having broccoli but this just had onions. The best thing are the musubis. I also got a burger and fries and the burger tasted like the premade patties from the grocery store and the fries had no salt on them and tasted freezer burnt. This place’s food doesn’t give the feeling of a restaurant that is passionate about food either. It’s more like they are just who are just trying to survive and get by. Next time I’ll just go to Ono Hawaiian or L&L bbq.

Delicious short ribs!!! Mac salad had too much mayo for me but they give a VERY generous portion of short ribs and they are sooooo tender and delicious.

Ordered here for a work lunch for 7 people. They were able to have everything ready and packaged great in a short time. Proportions were very generous and everything was delicious! Our team will definitely order from here again!

I love the chicken katsu and the seafood plate. They are very tasty and crispy. This is one of the best Hawaiian food I have tasted so far. The price seems fair to me. I will come back to get more.

Not good. Ordered via Uber Eats and I’m not sure what the deal is- the BBQ plate tastes like absolutely nothing and like others before me was ALL fat and bone (no meat at all), the bamboo soup is very flavorless and bamboo itself is very sour and honestly not good.

Great local place

Parking: Easy, not crowded

Not great food or service… We ordered the beef barbecue and it was all fat… the server said it’s random. Here is the photo…

Ordered a tray of Katsu musubi for a party. At first my order time was too early but they gracefully accommodated me. Then when I picked up the order, because they didn’t want to waste the edges they had cut off the chicken katsu, she saved them for me and gave them to me (so tasty!!). 10/10 would come here again for that alone.But the real gem is the food. Far lest salty than that other place across the street (the chain that doesn’t even offer loco moco!!). Got mini dinner pack the night I ordered the musubi and the food is generally better than others in the area.Support a local business and come here instead of that chain. Less expensive and better food. You wont be sorry!!!

Poor service. I tried to get get the employee's attention several times to no avail. She must have had headphones in. Sunday 2/19/22 @ 4:30 pm.edit:Response from the ownerThis is fast food restaurant, self serve .okay, next time I will walk into the kitchen and help myself.
