Hukilau offers delicious meals with generous portions at a great value. The spicy chicken katsu and fried oysters are flavorful, though some prefer the classic katsu sauce. The loco moco is a standout, with a well-seasoned patty and a perfectly cooked over-easy egg. The place loves to spread the Aloha, and the friendly staff makes sure guests feel welcomed. The garlic chicken was on point and made a great late-night snack. The first-time visitors enjoyed the nice atmosphere, with options to sit in the front or back of the restaurant. They ordered a variety of dishes, including short rib, sesame chicken, fried shrimp, fried oysters, and the combo plate with loco moco and chicken katsu. The fried shrimp and oysters come with rice and Mac salad, and while they are breaded and fried simply, the tartar sauce adds a nice touch. The short ribs and garlic fries were especially delicious and are highly recommended for future visits. Drinks are available, with some being pricey but worth it for the decent alcohol content. Overall, the food portions are large, prices are reasonable, and the atmosphere is lively with good music. Parking can be metered and a bit further away, but walking around the shops and restaurants adds to the experience. Despite some service hiccups, the friendly staff and tasty meals ensure a satisfying dining experience.
