32 Best Barbeque Restaurants in Honolulu

“Simple, shareable, strongly spiced food, reasonably priced but will make you want to drink. Cozy, maybe 10 tables total. Bonus points for being open late but that will mean rowdy tables. Party room next door overwhelms the ambiance with skull-numbing, throbbing bass. Limited parking.“

“Delicious! I will be back! Mahalo“

“Love this place Foods great Great service Awesome“

“This is hands down my favorite restaurant on island. Laid back, low key with epic views of sunset outside. Make all my friends come out here when they were in town for my wedding. The kalbi is the star of the show. The best marinade. Made one friend cry it was so good. Meat jun also fire.“

“Reasonably priced, great service and they put lots of food in the plate lunch!“

“Had an absolutely amazing time at this restaurant. The food was delicious and the quality was top notch. The owners were super kind and the service was amazing. We will definitely be visiting again! Don’t be shy to try everything. My family and I ordered a lot of food and loved every single thing. Thank you Yakiniku!“

“When I was growing up, going to school across the street at Aliamanu, they only had Pioneer Chicken at that corner of the Shopping Center. Several years later, after Pioneer Chicken was no more, I was pleased to discover this new Korean BBQ place that opened up there.“

“Good chicken, Just ordered a whole chicken plate, Had them chop the chicken in pieces which cost a $1 more. BUT!! After I left to my office to eat I notice my chicken wasn’t hot. Literally within 5mins of leaving but my food ain’t hot. Y’all literally just pulled the chicken out the fridge and warmed it up. I literally thought I was paying for a HOT PLATE.“

“Excellent experiences at BBQ town. They star of the show for us were the Teri beef burgers. Such an explosion of flavor in your mouth. Also pictured on another occasion was the short rib mini plate which as you can see is enough for at least one meal if not two. I called ahead for both our orders and picked up. The staff is super friendly. The prices are extremely reasonable. Definitely recommend visiting!“

“Best garlic shrimp I’ve ever had! I’ve been to 15+ eateries ordering the same dish on the mainland and the Hawaiian islands. The guava fried chicken and Lilikoi Pie were epic too! �“

“Fantastic #4 BBQ chicken. Lots of food for a good price in Hawaii. This isn't a great sit down place but I was planning to take food to go. I loved they didn't take 30 seconds to get my food. They cooked the chicken fresh on the spot. I waited about 15 minutes which is how long chicken should take to cook. Great spot.“

“I’ve had L&L and many other variations, but this is the best Hawaiian BBQ I’ve tasted, full stop.Ordered the BBQ mix plate and chicken katsu, and every component - from the rice and macaroni salad to the meat - was perfect.Don’t hesitate, just go here.“

“Lamb skewer shop. A restaurant that serves grilled food. It's delicious ~ I like that it's close to Walmart. Good for a quick drink. Revisit 2023.Absolutely delicious ?Cheap and delicious. The alcohol is cheap and good! 2024 3/31 Happy Easter. It's good to have a break.“

“Friendly staff and yummy food.“

“Service with a smile. Tasty ribs for the soul. Oh yea, the beans were superb! Bozie Jones BarBQ is located on South King Street across the street from St Mary’s Episcoplal -the church with the huge red cross on the front. Bozie is opened 12noon to 6pm, Thursday through Sunday. Yum yum eat em up!“

“Food & service were exceptional!“

“Best BBQ pork banh mi sandwich!! They make everything fresh to order. Bread is crispy and airy, meat is tender/flavorful/not overtly sweet with pickled onions. We got ours with extra meat! AND YOU MUST EAT IT WITH THEIR HOMEMADE HOT SAUCE! It is potent and will make you sweat and want for more!! Recommend to call to order if you don’t want to wait there. I’ve always ordered at the counter and then go next door and get a coffee while waiting the 10-15 mins. You can also request them to cut the sandwich in half and ask for utensils (chopsticks) if needed (since all the meeeeaat would fall out as you eat.)“

“Our fave restaurant in Waikiki. We ate here on our first night, had our first American Thanksgiving here & made sure we came back on our final night. Food & service was amazing every time!“

“Best ribs on the island. Hands down.“

“Hanna and Ming are so awesome. The food is soooo yummy. They make special requests for me without batting their lashes. Their curry is really good and matches well with... well... everything!!! I usually ask them for salt and pepper chicken with curry. They add fresh spicy peppers, jalapeños I think, and onions. Its really amazing. I wanted to change it up and asked for steamed fish with curry and just peppers and Ming was like "Sure, I can do that." I didn't want rice or Mac either and he said no problem. This is what I got! Nice and spicy, fish is so tender and their curry sauce is always my go to. I'm serious, its pretty amazing!!“

“service is sometimes kind of slow but it's still L&L quality food, so you can't go wrong. I really appreciate though how clean this L&L is, it's probably the cleanest one ive ever been in (and best looking walls because it's still pristine white).“

“This is one of those restaurants you don’t want anybody else to find out about why because the food is so damn good and you don’t like waiting in lines to get it even though you would and you never wait in line that’s how damn good this food is luckily their kitchen is very fast at cooking The phenomenal food that they’re always cranking out. I always get to ribs“

“Refreshing small picked dishes and tasty spicy beef tartare cold noodle. The cold soup broth that came the noodle was exceptional cooling down the body on a hot and humid afternoon. The oxtail soup was also smooth and nourishing. Dishes were well balanced of texture and flavors. Staff was helpful bringing extra bowls to share.“

“The food is amazing and the service is always with Aloha 🥰“

“Day 6 in Hawaii...
I had a hard time eating, so I thought about it and found Korean food.
It was so good
The fried rice with pork and kimchi fried rice is really...😍I think it will be the most memorable meal I ate in Hawaii!!
It was a good meal! 👍“

“self rotating skewers were so delicious and fun to watch. side dishes were amzing too“

“We ordered 2 trays of shoyu chicken for a fundraiser and everyone loved it! Will definitely order from Richie’s again.“

“Crowded but really good food, lots of food on a plate. You won’t leave hungry. Go around peak mealtime to avoid the crowd.

Parking: It’s the same parking lot as Costco but on the far side. Lots of parking during the week. Weekends might be different.“

“I had no idea that the order comes with 4 sides. Next time I will double the Mac Salad. Everything was ono and even though there was no soy in packets there was something similar but better than any soy sauce I've ever had. I was there at 2:30 which is well after their lunch rush but the fish Jun was cooked fresh and two big scoops of rice for the local touch. Aloha“

“Always love ordering take out here at Ono Korean bbq. I'm craving kalbi today. Always quick and friendly service.

Vegetarian options: You can order just the side dishes as a plate mix. They will let you chose 4-5 side dishes items. I love their broccoli and bean sprout side dishes. They also have plain tofu as side dish.

Parking: There's always plenty of parking. We never had a time where we would go looking for parking.“
