Pretty good flavors while for the price it's comparable to other similar bbq shops.The spam musubi was a bit basic though. Macaroni salad was excellent.

Food: I wanted musubis for a quick snack so I ordered 2 spam musubis and 2 Portuguese sausage musubis. 10/10 They were the perfect rice to meat ratio. The musubis had a sauce on the rice that was a good addition and didn't overpower the flavor of the spam or Portuguese sausage. Probably the best musubis around! They're the first place I've been to that has Portuguese musubis. They have bbq chicken and katsu musubis on their menu also. I will definitely be back when I'm craving musubis. :D Highly recommend getting musubis here and taking them to go on a picnic like I did. Ambience: The cashier counter and kitchen side when you enter the shop is very well lit but the seating side in the next room has very dim lighting but there are several tables and chairs to dine in. Parking: A decent amount of parking in the plaza

My boss recommended this place a few weeks ago, so I tried it out the other night and got the garlic shrimp with white rice + spam musubi. Both items were soooo good, 10x better than L&L Hawaiian BBq. I got take out so I can't attest to the full service experience, but the cashier was friendly. The only downside was it didn't come with any sauce so it was a bit dry, but I think I was supposed to request that separately so that's on me.

Little spot surprised me. The food was super tasty and great portions. We had the mixed bbq plate, and a combo chicken katsu and bbq beef plate, as well as musubi - spam, chicken katsu and bbq chicken. Everything was spot on! The staff is friendly and helpful. They do have a catering menu if you're interested for larger parties. Plenty of parking is available in shopping center. We'll be back. Glad we found a good close neighborhood Hawaiian spot!

My family and I love Olioli! We order from here pretty frequently. Flavor is on point! Service has always been top notch. Our families favorite dishes is the garlic shrimp/fried fish plate & protein plate. Great portions too.

Great place to grab some Hawaiian BBQ! The store is a little small and the dining area wasn't open but the owner was very friendly. My family and I ordered the BBQ chicken plate, the half BBQ short ribs and half loco moco plate, and some crab rangoons. The BBQ chicken was so good, well seasoned and very juicy so would recommend! The crab rangoons were also fresh and crispy. A little sweet for my taste but good. The BBQ short ribs and loco moco were solid picks as well. In total it was $36 for two plates and the rangoons. Servings and sides were generous and more than enough to feed the 3 of us with leftovers.

Olioli had good reviews and we wanted to give it a try. Located in a secluded spot in a shopping center, it has a very small store front looking like it's to go only but does have a small dining room that's a little dim. The service was good and focused on The customer. My trial dish is loco Moco and on delivery, it had very large portions with rice as a bed for two hamburger patties and two eggs with gravy over rice with a scoop of Mac salad. The taste I felt was standard, perhaps a little more seasoning would give it a push. I want a unique twist, perhaps putting a little fukujinzuke (red pickles you get with Japanese curry dishes) would give it that accent in both color and contrasting flavor to make it memorable (but not traditional).

Been coming here for a while now and the food here is awesome and well priced for the amount of you get is amazing. Especially the the fried donuts totally delicious

Prem V.

Their combos are reasonably priced not greasy and the fish is delicious the garlic shrimp yum. Good portions. The donuts are tasty need some chocolate filling options lol. Give them an opportunity to serve you, new local gem.
