50 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Mililani

“Ordered their roast pork and char sui. It is the best! They do run out so it is best to call before heading out in the afternoon; especially on the weekend. (Learned the hardway...picked up after lunch and decided to get more. It was about 3pm - ran out! Maybe had a big take out order?)

There can be a long line and only one person who chops the meat up.“

“Food was amazing !! Definitely one of my favs and will be back 👍🏻☺️“

“Now I get l&l is cliche and everywhere with somehow varying levels of constancy on and off the rock I'll admit Mauka is prolly in the conversation for best one I've had. For what it's worth the portions haven't changed a bit since they opened and crispness of everything is always welcome in my house! My problem as with most places boils down to rising costs. Again while understandable it turns places I and I assume others would rely on for a decent meal should we not want to cook or have a craving but again turns into a welcome treat/luxury. Overall still a place I'd hit up again and like how quick everything comes!“

“just had this place for the first time today!! I love love love my soondobu/korean tofu soups and this place’s kimchi soup was WONDERFUL!! Dare I say my most favorite Korean place all island ☺️ staff is so sweet and lovely too, literally 10/10!“

“Whenever I miss the galbi I used to eat back in Korea, I come to L&L and order their BBQ short ribs. They are just as delicious as the ones in Korea!
While the price for a single plate might seem a bit high at first, the portions are actually very generous, so I think it’s a great value. I highly recommend it!“

“Delicious! I will be back! Mahalo“

“Friendly staff and yummy food.“

“Best burritos BY far in all of Oahu! Highly recommend!!“

“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.“

“Best chicken in Hawaii 🔥🔥“

“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.“

“Authentic Korean mixed plate. My Korean husband was impressed by the quality and variety of the banchan (side dishes). Staff are friendly and the shop is clean. There are a few seats inside, otherwise there is outside seating directly next to the shop.“

“Best BBQ spot in the area.“

“2nd to None.“

“So good! Driving up to the North Shore from the airport we wanted something local. Family owned. No frills just awesome chicken. So juicy. We all had sandwiches and the pulled chicken is more like chunks with some pulled. Not overly shredded. And not doused with sauce. Just a nice enhancement. We had the melts and they were delicious. The bread is crusty but soft inside. An easy bite. And my son loved his Cajun fries. Off street parking in the rear.“

“I will always visit Sadies's when visiting the island 🥰🥰“

“Ate there today.. best BBQ pork I’ve had here on Oahu. Hawaiian sauce was wonderful and baked beans were simmered with tiny pieces of jalapeños, had a slight delicious kick. Wedge salad… heavenly. i“

“This is the perfect hidden food place that locals go to. Good food, good prices and the service is practically non existent. Meaning, it's 99% take out. There is a small table outside but that's why it's cool. No nonsense food at a good price. I highly recommend the Bento #1, the Katsu and the fried chicken.

Parking: The parking is hard to find but if you wait for a few minutes someone will leave.“

“100% Super delicious foods 👌😋😍“

“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!!“

“burger was amazing. grilled mushrooms and onions were perfect. burger was bursting with flavor. and the tots were a perfect crispiness“

“The owner makes sure she gets your order right and is very friendly. The portion sizes here are great. My husband and I were able to eat off one combo plate while also sharing an appetizer. I highly recommend the korean fried chicken plate. Absolutely would visit this location again.“

“Fabulous food!! Best in Waikīkī!! The food truck across the street from the convention center. 5 stars!!!! They have a restaurant too!!!“

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

“Amazing BBQ: the shrimp wrapped bacon was succulent and flavorful. The pork was pork belly, juicy and intense smoke flavor. The chicken was cooked to perfection!!! Heading back soon.“

“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.“

“Always great tasting fresh food and they change their specials every day plus large portions make my opu really happy every time I stop by! Totally recommend this place! 🤙🏼“

“Military only ..Was not able to eat here but don't want to ruin ratings. If you're not in military, don't go to this restaurant. You're not allowed to enter... Don't go through the gate, turn around before- unless you have military ID, otherwise you will have problems.“

“If you're looking for some roast pork, chicken or duck come here. It's a pick up and go place so don't expect a place to sit unless you find some outside in the plaza. If you're looking for simple, great tasting roasted meat on rice or crispy noodles this is the place. It's simple and delicious. The menu isn't extensive. Other than those roasted meats there's also ginger chicken that I particular love.

The cost of the food here is a great value as well. Each plate I got was enough to feed 2 or 3 people. I would recommend getting a mix of the meats and share. It was all good.“

“Delicious and huge portions! Had Grilled ahi and Teust Us Special with shrimp and ribs - all super flavorful. Would prefer potato or green salad over their long mac. Will definitely be back, perfectly located for pre/post airport stop. 3 picnic style tables (not fancy, but clean) and most were locals doing takeout with easy parking.“

“Just go there and get it.“

“Ordered the Mahi katsu. Taste delicious, value for cost, excellent. The plate was just under 14 dollars and there were 4 count um 4 full sized pieces of fish. They have many side dishes to choose from as well. If you are a fish lover, this is the plate you've been looking for.“

“Was a nice change of scene. Celebrated Alex 10th Birthday per his request. Most of our family is tall, at the end of the round of golf 2 peoples back were sore from bending down a lot lol.
Also, felt pressured with people behind us being that we were a party of 6, but couples and families were nice enough to skip the hole and go ahead of us.

1 different colored ball and 1 club assigned per player.

Next time we’ll try their BBQ. It was a rainy day so we left after our game.

Would we go back? On occasion.“

“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.“

“My auntie used to take us here all the time when we had sleep over on weekends because the food is awesome and large portions and affordable. She would order two of the special plates and good enough for the four cousins. The small restaurant is in a 2 story building on the street behind Times Waipahu so parking is not an issue.

Today, the quality and taste stayed the same, with a fully loaded and worth the price. It included a good size strip each of meat jun, kal bi, BBQ chicken, BBQ beef, 4 veggies and rice for under $23, good enough for 2 meals. The owners are lovely and friendly. The kimchi here is authentic. Also the Spicy Beef Soup is fire.“

“We had the seafood combo, the teriyaki steak bowl, double cheeseburger deluxe, chicken sandwich and two orders of fries , 3 fountain drinks and a coconut water. Steak bowl was small but it was very filling. Burger was huge and so was the chicken sandwich. Seafood combo was delicious. Definitely recommend“

“This food is EXCELLENT. Got #20: chicken and beef, with sides of seaweed, noodles, cabbage, bok choi, rice, gyoza. It was DELICIOUS. If my stay here was longer, I would be back for sure. The owner was so nice. He gave my sisters and I complementary mango drinks which were so fresh, real and delicious. Support this awesome business!“

“The portions here are HUGE! The kalbi combo is a steal and the marinade is amazing.
We ended up eating here three times during our five day trip in Ko Olina.
A mini size was perfect for me (2 kalbi ribs with rice and two sides). My husband did well with the regular (3 kalbi ribs with rice and four sides). You can also buy more side dishes.
Everything tasted super fresh and delicious.
P.S., my husband couldn’t stop man crushing on the cook/owner? He looks like a Korean actor!“

“I LOVE THEIR CURRY STEW, HOT SPICY AND SO GOOD! YOU GET LOTS OF MEAT POTATOES AND CARROTS. REMINDS ME OF THE OLD ALAMOANA FOOD WAGON. THAT HAD LINES EVERYDAY, THIRTY YEARS AGO. I WAS SO HAPPY TO FIND THIS PLACE!“

“Absolutely Delicious and authentic. They grill the meat in front of you. Fast, good price and delicious!“

“I usually go before they close at 8:30 PM because I don’t noticed that if you do go right before they close, they’ll give you a whole a lot of food lol but I love the portion that they do give their sides are amazing. I got that barbecue chicken special with the four piece Mando for $2.99 extra and in the photos I showed you all sides they also have catering. The tables are limited. You can only fit up to four people per table. It can get crowded during lunch hours. I would prefer to do takeout because even with my medium sized body have a hard time squeezing in the booth lol but overall I got a man do plate and my total was about $48 total. I’ll say it’s totally worth it. One of the best barbecue cases you can eat at. I know there’s other locations like in Alamoana and Kahala but this is my favorite one. I would also recommend phone call orders cause that would be faster. There is a lot of parking and it’s inside of the Waipahu shopping center right next to the new Hope Church.“

“Spicy Ahi has been our go-to Friday dinner spot for many years, and for good reason! Their ingredients are always fresh and high quality, making every meal consistently delicious. What truly sets them apart is their careful attention to takeout packaging—everything is packed thoughtfully to ensure the food stays fresh and intact by the time we get home. Whether dining in or taking out, Spicy Ahi never disappoints. Highly recommend!“

“Take-out-order got a Melt-In-Your-Mouth Steak, surprisingly tender and juicy with scrumptious flavour, Served with a nice portion of Mac salad and steamed rice, an ultimate comfort meal, delicious, simple & flavorful dinner flavour that the whole family will love.

Kid-friendliness: Mini plates, great for kids

Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible Clinical excellent type“

“Great value for the food! Good customer service too! 😄“

“Outstanding flavors! The chicken was so delicious I didn’t use any of the sauces (BBQ). So I’m going to have to make another trip. I did use their soy sauce blend in the rice. Big flavor and perfect salt level. Highly recommend. Eat outside or grab it and go. Lunch platters for $15. Perfectly priced.“

“Amazing Huli Huli chicken and BBQ ribs. I recently found this food truck after living in Honolulu for many years. I highly recommend these guys. The service was excellent and the portions were large. I liked everything I ate, chicken, ribs, pork, and the sides. I will most definitely bring my Family and Friends here.“

“Good food and great price. Food is always consistent. Staff/owner are always delightful and helpful.“

“Seperate updated review from the one below I did before.

DO NOT DO DELIVERY from here! Packaging is a mess, items like entire ribs missing from orders, drinks missing, paid for additional toppings missing. Packaging also makes the food completely soggy and water logged which ruins the flavor. I even paid for priority delivery so the food was the first delivered.

For dine-in: Long lines, a long wait sometimes, and a small place, but everyone was really nice, and the food was good! Sweet tea was a little old tasting, bread needs some flavor like salted butter or honey butter. We'll surely go again!“

“I was visiting Hawaii and decided to go to this location because it was close to where I was staying and I was running errands in the immediate area and I’m familiar with this food chain. But I don’t recommend this location because the service was horrible and the food was worse! I have been to L& L in California and the food was AMAZING! I couldn’t eat the food because it tasted warmed up and the macaroni salad was sour so I tossed it and went to another location and the food was cooked to order and I was very pleased.“
