I love Rutt's Hawaiian Cafe. The staff is so nice...But I come for the foooood! Especially the MEATS! This is the best BBQ, Hawaiian or otherwise, for the BEST prices and the biggest portion. I love them. P.S., they also do great takeout for the same big-portion-for-small-price-PLUS-sauce experience!

Great service, fresh food and excellent portions. The salmon royale is absolutely delicious and comes HOT every time I order on Uber Eats. I call after I place my order to ensure I get enough sauce and salsa and they always come through and are super kind about it. Usually restaurants are stingy with their sauces but not Rutts. I usually get the Hawaiian French toast as well and that mess SMACKS. Seriously love this place and will continue to order from here.

Ambiance: it's located near a busy intersection in South Bay, with limited private parking in front of the store, narrow indoor dining area with backyard outdoor seating, good for takeout as well Service: super friendly and patient with questions, made accommodation to specific requests Food & Drink: numerous items on the menu, classic Hawaii food selections The Original Hawaiian Royale - **** Portuguese Sausage and Char Sui (Chinese BBQ Pork), it's a good alternative to make it a Fried Royale, rich in flavors, recommend Loco Moco (Brown Gravy & Egg) - *** choice of grilled vegetables, the meat patty was light taste, gravy is very creamy, good combination of vegetables Pineapple Bread Pudding - **** served with vanilla ice cream, soft texture and sweet taste, recommend Sprite - *** canned soda Price: generous portions and affordable prices, about $20 per person for a very fulfilling meal

Excellent Hawaiian food, and incredibly large portions for reasonable prices.My wife's omelette was huge, their home fries are incredible - I think deep fried rather than pan/griddle fried, and so they have a wonderful crisp exterior and melt in your mouth interior. The side of roasted veggies she got was huge and they were equally delicious (she ate her omelette herself and didn't share ;)I had the loco moco and two spam musubi which was too much food for me - both wwee excellent. We both had some leftovers!Vegetarian options: My vegetarian wife was pleased with the vegetarian options, and they were very accommodating and courteous.

YES! I ate lunch there once and was instantly convinced it was the right place to cater my ~20 person party.They came through with 80 vegan spring rolls, so good. We also got multiple types of chicken, rice, veggies, etc. They really go the extra mile and give you serving utencils, sauce for the rolls, etc. The whole party was raving. So good.Vegetarian options: the spring rolls!!Dietary restrictions: They will customize

Decent Hawaiian food. It's more on the authentic side because it is kinda dirty. Mac salad is bland I wish it was better.
I had a last minute catering order they were able to accommodate me and deliver as well the food was amazing as always I always use them for catering my big events and small gatherings. I just want to say always call the Rutts in Gardena directly if you need any last minute catering orders they are always so helpful and the food is so good thank you guys so much

I really liked this place. The food was in large quantities and very dense. The flavor was very strong and tasty. But the food is unhealthy so don't recommend having it often

Great menu and service, but food wasn't great quality.The pork was dry, grilled veggies were oily, and the fruit was old.

Lost a future customer just by the curly big headed girls demeanor and lack of attentiveness to my order I was picking up.

Food was fresh and yummy. I like a tad bit more seasoning/soy sauce or sriracha however that's a personal preference. Service was friendly and helpful.
