I had eaten here before and it was good. My meal last week had to be tossed. The chicken was so tough I had to bring it up to have them cut it. I tried to eat it but kept gagging from the tough texture and flavor. Will never eat there again.

Not quite the hole in a wall comfort food one would expect since it’s actually inside of a bus on the side of the road. This is one of our favorite Huli Chicken and a must stop every time we visit the North Shore.

No fuss, but it’s messy, fast, simple and tasty, a locals staple. Hard to describe, it’s just simple a good.

The chicken is seasoned and grilled to perfection, the issue is that it’s not fresh off the grill, while Kayla and LauLau pork are just phenomenal, you have to have a bit of an exotic taste to eat the LauLau though, it is cooked inside leaves and have a bit of a bitter taste. I personally like it.

I wanted to try the huli huli chicken it was nicely smoked but way too salty the BBQ sauce was good the luau emu pork was nicely flavored . Mikes was worth trying but not a must go place.

This review is for Mike. Other place was closed so gave your place a try. You gotta up your game. A picture with Guy Fieri may have put you on the map but since then l I’m sure it’s gone down hill! The chicken was over brined, salty and tasted like it was oven baked. But heck can’t get any worse. I hope future reviews are better. Good luck!!!!!

After watching big wave surfing today we made it a point to try this Mike's. Nothing like on DDD! Must make the chicken early, and then reheat. Dry and tasteless. The shrimp, rice and Mac salad were worth eating. Maybe a bad day.

Would have loved to try it. Had heard that it was really good, but stood in line for 10 minutes and there was no acknowledgement. Other guests there before me said that they couldn’t get anyone’s attention so also left. Maybe we’ll try again next time we come to Hawaii.

Not the Mike's Hulihuli chicken that we remembered. The food we had was cold. The chicken is dry and has no taste. Last time we ate here the food was setved hot and juicy. Did not notice any smoke that indicate that the chicken is being cooked. The Garlic Ahi that we ordered was off, we only took a small bite then threw the rest. Even the mixed vegies that came with it is not fresh. We did not finish even the famous Hulihuli chicken. Even the atmosphere feels like it is in a bad state. Not coming back!

We stumbled upon this place by chance, drawn in by the many photos of celebrities on display. However, appearances can be deceiving: the chicken was tough, lacked flavor, and was undercooked on the inside. The service was also disappointing – the lady at the counter seemed overwhelmed, despite there being hardly any guests. It’s clear that this place is in need of some serious improvements.

I was hyped to try this place and sadly disappointed with dry chicken…red flag should have been when nothing was grilling or cooking on the pit. Just the smell of wood burning but nada, such a tourist trap for anyone looking for bbq stick to L & L or just Texas bbq….they say it was a ten minute? Probably to reheat the dry chicken and the Mac salad had no salt? All I can say try it for self and wait to be disappointed ☹️ fair warning
