I've never been so sick in my life from food been up all night, throwing up, chicken, Katsu, and macaroni salad is what I ate. I didn't eat anything all day yesterday but when I got home we ordered food and both of us are now sick. I called the restaurant to let them know and they said it must've been something else I didn't need anything else.

Food was not packaged correctly and spilled all over my food. The sauce lid was not closed correctly! Bad service in general. Meat is undercooked!!!!

It was just okay. They need serious help in the beef department. The beef was tough and the short ribs were dry. Will not return.

It was my first time eating here on a Friday around 3:30pm and there was no wait time. Lots of seating available. The color of their display menu is a little off but everything is readable. I got their number 3 BBQ mix plate with one spam musubi. I thought the food was good and nothing to complain about. The spam musubi was standard and the sauce they put on the rice is yummy. I saw a previous review from someone else saying that the spam cuts were thin while there is too much rice. I think maybe a little less rice would be better but it still taste yummy. As for the BBQ mix plate, it was yummy and definitely filling. It came with rice and lettuce underneath, two types of meat (beef and chicken I believe?) and a Mac salad. The meat tasted homemade like something my dad would make so it was delicious. I would definitely order this again. :)

Great spam musubis, pork fried rice and pretty much everything I've had from here has been on point. The owners are super nice and inviting.

Foods great and tasty. Food similar to plate lunch in Hawaii. Service is quick. Chinese food is also good make sure you add rice. Also have Hawaii Sun juice.

Love this place and good price! I go here whenever I shop to Savers because it's in the same plaza.

Great Hawaiian flavors and addictive macaroni salad. When I am craving Hawaiian bbq, I drive straight to Mahalo and pass several restaurants on the way there. The staff is extremely friendly and get excited when I order. Mahalo staff has a passion for Hawaiian food and it shows in the flavors they serve.

If ur in a crunch for "Hawaiian" food then this is ur place. It's just ok and the portions aren't as big as other Hawaiian places. The flavor is like a Japanese chicken teriyaki. I wouldn't b surprised if they used a generic teri sauce.

First time here. No wait time to order. Ordered the Beef Musubi and Portuguese Sausage Musubi, very disappointed. Mostly rice with a very thin slice of meat. I recommend more meat and less rice.

I'd give this place a 0 if it allowed. Went yesterday and ordered mixed plate and it was one of the worst meal I've had. Eating a tire would have been more tender than the beef and short ribs! The chicken skin was the only thing I ate. Warning, do not go there if you're looking for half way decent food. Don't say I didn't warn you. !!

Decent Hawaiian spot with big portions but nothing mindblowing. Run by a Chinese family that also sells American style Chinese food. We got the spam musubi, bbq combo, and fried seafood combo. The spam musubi had way too much rice. If you want to get full of that then its for you! The bbq combo was a bit greasy and fried seafood a little overfried. Can't complain too much for the portion size and price though. Close convenient spot for us.

Hole in the wall. Musubis, kalua pork, macaroni salad are all good. Saimin is bland but edible. Lau lau is not the best but the spouse liked it.
