50 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Kailua

“We visited Easyque recently and I’ve been craving the food ever since!! Absolutely everything was delicious! 😋 😍“

“Delicious!! Stopped by after SUP-ing with Kailua Beach Adventure. Loved the teriyaki beef and garlic shrimp plate. It was shareable between 2 adults for a lighter lunch. Price also reasonable. Recommend if you’re nearby and need a quick lunch.“

“Great food. Cool atmosphere. Awesome shakes.“

“Was starving after spending the day at Lanikai Beach. Always great food at L&L. You really can't go wrong. I had the seafood platter with the bbq chicken and it was perfect. Cant wait to come back to Oahu again and stop by here to complete a perfect day at the beach. ALOHA!“

“Went to the new location in Kaneohe and the brisket and pulled pork was anazing! I'm giving them four stars because the wait was an hour long wait and my elderly parents were tired and famished by the time food was ready.“

“I work at a shop near them and frequent their store often. Zero complaints for them as they are always professional, greet you, keep the joint clean, and make some delicious meals. Highly recommend them if you’re in the area and want a quick bite to eat in or take out.“

“Wanted some Island food for a quick lunch before heading to beach. The menu was varied and plentiful. I got the lau lau pork (first time) and it was good. Husband got seafood plate with chicken katsu. The amount of seafood was same as the katsu (he’d hoped more seafood, given the name). Said the seafood was good, katsu was better.“

“Quite honestly it was one of the best food experiences of my entire trip to O'ahu, even though it was just an emergency dinner after a very long hike - I was very hungry. The place has a local climate attached to it with friendly people you can talk to and listen to their stories. Prices are really good for the amount of meat you get and its very tasty. Only the mac n cheese wasn't that great for me but I guess it's just not my thing.“

“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“

“Phenomenal food, service, and atmosphere. Quite possibly one of the best restaurants I’ve eaten at. We ended up ordering several different dishes because everything brought out was top notch and delicious. 10/10 recommend stopping in and eating — you won’t regret it!“

“Delicious smoked brisket, pork & beef ribs, homemade sausage and sides! Friendly personable staff in a Great location. Stop by soon, you won’t be disappointed. mahalo“

“Delicious! I will be back! Mahalo“

“Tasty high quality food, affordable prices and great service. You can submit orders through their website for the same in-store prices; Unlike other places that add online transaction fees. Best banchan options: they have the usuals you'll see in most Korean BBQ places, like Kimchi, bean sprouts, chapchae, mac salad, pickled seaweed (wakame), etc. But their unique offerings are the fried eggplant & pickled veg (daikon, onion & jalapeno). Always a hit with my coworkers and family.“

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

“Friendly service, great food, wide variety - always hot and fresh.“

“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! �“

“Best chicken in Hawaii 🔥🔥“

“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!“

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

“Wow I drove past this place many times, shame on me for not stopping by for a bite. Today I was just looking for breakfast and maaaayyyynnnn the breakfast combo!!!

$9.59 bucks in ward is awesome, which included 2 eggs, 1 spam, 2 pocho sausage, 2 links, and 4 bacon.!!!. Most places would probably cost 15-20+ bucks for that.

Not to mention, it was only after my order was almost done I see a sign for $1 adder for fried rice, shucks. Definitely going try that next time. I forgot to ask for over easy when I grabbed my bag and was like oh no don't be scrambled haha. We'll it seems to be standard as over easy it was, so if u want scramble be sure to ask.

On top of the deal my food was out in a few minutes behind one small order and a large order, so gray job on quick time.

Inside is your normal plate lunch seating area. There is also metered street parking along the north bound lane of Cooke St.

They have a good size menu, and I definitely will be back to try some of their other food. For now I found my go to breakfast spot in ward area haha!!!“

“Food & service were exceptional!“

“We opted out of our reservation for the dining room and ate in the bar. Didn't catch the bartender's name but she was wonderful. The Mai Tai was great and our food was delicious. It was a thoroughly enjoyable meal.“

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

“If you’re in Waikiki and looking for a good Korean meal without spending Waikiki prices, definitely check out Topped!

They have a lunch special every day from 11:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m., where you can choose either the bulgogi or spicy pork bowl for only $9.99. In Waikiki, finding a filling meal for under $10 is already a win! 😂 The meat had plenty of flavor, the portions were good, and it’s one of those easy spots when you just want something tasty without doing a full sit-down restaurant.

The service was friendly and quick, which is perfect when you’re grabbing lunch or just want something fast while walking around Waikiki.

The atmosphere is very casual since it’s more of a Korean food stand than a traditional restaurant. Nothing fancy, but that’s part of the charm—you order your food, grab a seat, and enjoy. Great little hidden option for locals or visitors looking for affordable Korean food in Waikiki.

Definitely coming back, especially for that $9.99 lunch special!“

“My boyfriend (Drew) and I picked up dinner here last night and the BBQ beef sandwhich was amazing!!! We love how the spice of the sauce wasn't too spicy. The pickled daikon and carrots complimented the spice and the beef was cooked to perfection.

We were very surprised by the mung bean tapioca pudding. We were not expecting to like it. Overall, it was not too sweet and had a good flavor to compliment the BBQ Beef sandwhich.

Great spot for lunch or dinner! Fast & great service 🤙“

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

“We saw this place food truck place on Instagram and noticed, so we decided to check it out. Let me just say, wow. This place is amazing.

We tried the Bonito Smash Plate, which is basically an everything platter, and it easily fed three of us with extra to take home. Everything was so good. Even for a food truck lot, the whole place had a great vibe, the staff was super friendly, and the food really hit the spot.

The go-to move is the garlic shrimp with extra sauce on the rice. Honestly, that combo alone is worth the trip. We also tried the BBQ chicken, smoked meat, and kalbi, and everything was packed with flavor.

Highly recommend this place. Great food, great people, and definitely worth going out of your way for.“

“If you’re looking for an authentic Korean restaurant in Oahu, Hawaii, this is the place! It’s located in the heart of Honolulu and is run and staffed by Koreans. Inside, it feels like a real Korean restaurant in Korea—the atmosphere is very genuine.

The food tastes great, and the portions are big enough. They soup I had was bit salty. Other than that it was great.

They are just like in Korea. They even serve poke as one of their side dishes! That was awesome and definitely a unique touch.

Tips start at 18%. It has a limited parking spots even though free. I would say this is one of the best Korean restaurants in Hawaii. Highly recommended!“

“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!“

“I’m so happy someone recommended this location. My first place I went to was in Honolulu at Walmart. L&L and food was dry and burnt and very small portion when i orded regulat not micro.
This location was so delicious and cooked perfectly and great portion size. The macaroni salad was the best I’ve had in Hawaii. I have to say they did the next home job.“

“The spicy pork feet were absolutely delicious! It was honestly the best spicy pork feet I’ve had in Hawaii. The flavor was amazing, and the perfect balance of spicy and savory. The staff were also incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I will definitely be coming back again. Highly recommend this place! 😊“

“During our stop, we tried a few of their local selections: Aloha Blonde, Hop Lei IPA, Aloha Lager, and Red Zeppelin—the last one was my husband’s favorite. The brewery also features a spacious dog-friendly Beer Garden taproom, merch shop, and brewery tours.

Depending on the day, you may also find live music, trivia nights, and other events. We especially enjoyed“

“Tasty as the name says. All the veggie sides are very tasty and they give you a generous amount. I ordered the bbq chicken and loved it. The overall cleanliness of the restaurant can be improved. But overall very good. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a good meal in Kaneohe side.“

“The food was so good! Ok, there's no indoor dining and the outdoor dining is really rough but during our meal there the locals seemed to love it and for good reason. This is what I imagine authentic Hawaiian BBQ for the working man is like. When you go to a BBQ place and see the orange construction either shirts, is probably going to be good and it was. The girl at the register recommend the beef short ribs and they were amazing. My wife had the teriyaki chicken and it had amazing flavor, though a bit overcooked, I still finished it if for her gladly. My only warning: one dish is plenty for two hungry people! We were getting ready to head to the airport and didn't want any to go to waste, so we have half to a mother with four teenage boys. They were 😊. Definitely will return next time we visit the island.“

“Wow…we loved our meals. We stopped here by quickly on our way from Waikiki to the airport, and easily found street parking. The vermicelli bowls with lemongrass chicken & tofu (and a banh mi with pork + chicken) were so fresh, so filling, and really high quality. Delicious Vietnamese iced coffee. The service was kind, as well. Highly recommend for a relaxed & high quality meal!!“

“So delicious! Huge portions for relatively cheap prices. Staff were very friendly with quick service!“

“Wonderful lunch! Thank you“

“The freshest Poke on the Eastside, hands down! Mahalo“

“We had lunch at Koryo Won with four people. Friends had recommended it to me before, but since I’m not usually much of a meat eater, I had never made it in. Lately I’ve been trying to add more protein to my diet, so this seemed like the perfect time to finally give it a try.

We ordered the fresh short ribs, jumulleok based on our waitress’s recommendation — and she nailed it — plus a seafood pancake.

We ordered only three servings of meat for four people, but the portions were very generous and more than enough for us. The meat was extremely fresh, tender, and flavorful. Honestly, as far as the quality of the meat goes, I think this is some of the best Korean BBQ I’ve had in Honolulu.

The side dishes were also delicious and, something I especially appreciated, not overly salty. They were generous with refills, including plenty of fresh lettuce for wrapping the meat. The seafood pancake was thick, crispy on the outside, and packed with vegetables — a great addition to the meal.

Service was excellent. Our waitress was very attentive, kept our side dishes and lettuce replenished, and changed the grill plate a couple of times without us even having to ask.

I didn’t try many of the other dishes, so I can’t comment on the entire menu, but if you’re coming for Korean BBQ and good-quality meat, I definitely recommend Koryo Won. Great portions, fresh ingredients, wonderful service, and plenty of parking to boot. Even my husband commented that he hadn’t enjoyed Korean BBQ this much in a long time.

We’ll definitely be back!“

“My hubby loves their Char Sui and Roast Pork, definitely going back there!“

“We discovered this place after Nam Fong closed. We tried the roast dick and it was super legit. And the service is actually better. The people there are happy and friendly, and the place has very nice vibe. They have nice bento selection too. Note it’s for take out only and doesn’t have dine-in option.This is our new fav place to get roast duck!“

“If you are looking for some Cantonese BBQ while in Honolulu, you must stop here and pick up some of this guys meat. I got a half pound of BBQ pork (char siu), half pound of roast pork (siu yuk), and a half a chicken (see yao gai). All of the dishes were well prepared, well seasoned, and cooked to perfection! You will not find anything to complain about when this meat is in your mouth! I went for dimsum at a nearby stall, and chanced upon Meimei. I took a chance and I discovered a master! Please visit here and enjoy! I will return!“

“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.“

“Excellent Korean BBQ! It was recommended by a local- great service and delicious food, great quality, decent portions at a decent price! Need reservations by calling restaurant.“

“but watch out for da guy begging fo money..I offered him half moom or pok hash n he declined food only want money..forget that..“

“We both like chicken katsu so usually go there once a month. This place has the best chicken katsu that I have ever tasted out of all the L&L's. The chicken is not overcooked and tender. The katsu sauce is very different than many other places. The service is great“

“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.“

“I've dined at many L&L restaurants in Hawaii but this was my first visit to the location across from Whole Foods. There are lots of tables for diners, many are hidden around the corner from the drink dispensing station.

I ordered something I get at a number of L&Ls ... BBQ Cheeseburger combo (a deluxe BBQ cheeseburger, a LARGE bag of fries, and a drink); all for $12.50.

The burger contained lettuce, a thick slice of white onion, and a slice of tomato. Yum! The fries were crispy ... None were soggy ... Yay!

What can I say? I was impressed!“
