Big Island BBQ and Tea

Me and my family had a wonderful experience eating here at Big Island the lady who took our order was super attentive and she was by herself customer service was her ultimate goal and she maximized our experience with every second she had. The food was great and the portion size is plenty for the money. I will definitely be returning.

I've been coming here for years to get the grilled salmon and rice. And they are giving less portions when it comes to the salmon. It looks like to me the pieces are thinner. I spend $18.40 on this plate and I'm not even full after I finish eating. But they put a whole bunch of veggies and rice but they definitely have cut back on the salmon. And I have noticed this over several times of purchasing this plate. One time I had to bring it back because it was like little pieces of salmon. They gave me nice size pieces but I think that this is what they're doing now is cutting the salmon in half and making it thinner. I would prefer restaurants leave the food alone and just raise the price more instead of giving less food. So I'm going to have to find me somewhere else to go to purchase salmon.

Received bones instead of BBQ beef. No meat at all! $40+ dollars for rice!

Very friendly and helpful staff and great food

Great customer service? food was delish.The people in the back were working very hard.
Thank you!

This restaurant is more of a take out kind of place. The atmosphere inside is too hot and uncomfortable but smells amazing. The service was somewhat average and didn’t go over the top to be accommodating as they were too busy to care. Could potentially use one more staff member to make patrons feel more valued. The food is very good and I would recommend the garlic shrimp if you’re going on a hot date afterwards. The scallops are nice and have a good crisp to the crust as they are fried. The fire chicken is not as hot as the name suggests but has good flavor nonetheless. We will definitely consider returning for a take out order as the portions are worth the price.

Got the curry katsu chicken and it was delicious! Perfectly crusted and the curry itself was very flavorful. The tropical fruit tea was very refreshing, perfect for a hot day and is full of fruits. Would definitely come back to try other menu items

Although I decided to try the katsu at Big Island BBQ, a departure from my usual order, I was a bit disappointed with the flavor. While the meat appeared fresh and was properly cooked, it lacked the robust taste I typically enjoy. However, the rice served alongside was light and fluffy

Young man working up front, Believe his name is Robert and he has tattoos and piercings. He is an absolutely the most sweetest cashier i’ve ever met. He was so welcoming, and brought my food to the table to me and my friends when it was ready. I enjoyed the atmosphere, the customer service, and the music was perfect for the setting :) I will keep recommending this place to my friends and family as long as employees like robert are working here.

Got the chicken Katsu, nice an crispy. You can swap the rice for Vejis an you'll get some good steamed cabbage. Loved the macaroni too, the lady was really nice an helpful

This place SUCKED. If you are planning to dine in be prepared to sweat because there was NO air conditioning. The food was not legitimate Hawaiian BBQ and there was green sludge/mold that was growing on the ice dispenser. Do not come here for Hawaiian BBQ unless you want to throw up after ?

Love the Masubi! Last time I asked for double vegetables (I'm not a fan of there macaroni salad) and I got almost all cabage and 1 tint broccoli... so not great. But, I am a repeat customer as I love their masubi and the meat is well seasoned.
