Mauna Loa Hawaiian BBQ is a good spot for some Hawaiian BBQ. The service was decently quick, and the food was delicious. I ordered the Mauna Loa combination plate that came with beef short rib, chicken katsu, and BBQ chicken. All three meats were tender and tasty. They also have a wide selection of alcohol.

Great food. Excellent coconut shrimp, large portions, very good kalua pork. Quick, friendly service. Small, clean, casual place. Can be too warm on hot days. Good for take-out or eating in.

I recently visited Mauna Loa Hawaiian BBQ for the first time, and it was an exceptional experience! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm hospitality and a welcoming atmosphere. The menu offered a fantastic selection of dishes, and I decided to try the BBQ chicken and Mac salad.

The BBQ chicken was absolutely delicious—perfectly cooked, tender, and packed with a delightful smoky flavor. The Mac salad was a great complement, creamy and well-seasoned, adding a refreshing balance to the meal. Each bite was a delightful mix of flavors that truly captured the essence of Hawaiian cuisine.

Overall, my time at Mauna Loa Hawaiian BBQ was incredibly enjoyable. The food was top-notch, and the service was friendly and efficient. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a taste of Hawaii in a cozy and inviting setting. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Plastic plates and paid 60 dollars for a typical 30 dollar meal for two. Crazy. Wrong prices on the menu.

BEST PLACE EVER. I went with my friends for the first time- not long ago, and since then that's the only place we ever go to. The food is spectacular. The service is magnificent. And the atmosphere/music is so welcoming. There's no doubt; this place is my favorite!(Tip: Try the shaved ice!!!)

I've been to several hawain restaurants in the bay area and this is just the worst. I had their teriyaki chicken and it was so dry it sucked the moisture right out of my mouth. It was what I think is chicken breast that is tossed in a cheap watery teriyaki sauce that doesn't stick to the meat at all with literally NO flavor. While everyone else is actually marinating their meats and using quality sauces and cuts of meat these guys are serving garbage. Avoid this place and drive 20 min to get to several good quality spots in San francisco instead.
