50 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Pearl City

“Great food, run by some great people“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“I was told that the owners of Miki’s opened this business to serve food for all the people working graveyard shift or finished work late.

With that being said, this place has the best food anywhere in this time frame 12am - 3am. Miki’s is an amazing change of food choices for late at night.

-The plates are cheaper with big servings compared to other places.
-Lines get long but the wait time after ordering is never past 10 minutes.
-Parking is fun because it’s either on the curb or the side of the street.

People reviewing this place needs to realize this hole-in-the-wall food business is meant for people like me. Those who work late into the night, that’s my demographic. If you’re comparing this place to Zippys or anything like that, then go there shut up. This place makes all their food with love, that beats anything opened after hours to me, no 7/11, McDonald’s, no fast food place can compete that.“

“I always enjoy eating at L&L Hawaiian Barbecue. Even though it’s a chain, this location consistently has great food and does a really good job with the classics.

The katsu was cooked perfectly, the breading had the ideal crisp texture while the meat inside was tender and the sauce was flavorful. I also ordered the mixed BBQ plate, and everything on it was cooked well and tasted fresh.

The woman at the counter was also very friendly and kind, which made the experience even better. Great service always makes a difference.

Out of all the locations I’ve tried, this one is definitely my favorite. The food quality is consistently good, and it’s the spot I always look forward to coming back to.“

“Delicious! I will be back! Mahalo“

“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“

“Hands down the best Japanese BBQ on the island! We’ve tried many Yakiniku both in Hawaii and LA but this was by far the best quality! Not only the quality of the meat but the service was excellent. You know when the vibe, food, and the people are good, it’s the best experience you can get. Highly recommend this place to try!

Our favorite was the Premium beef tongue with green onions and the intestines!“

“Love this place Foods great Great service Awesome“

“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.“

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

“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“

“Friendly staff and yummy food.“

“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.“

“Best BBQ spot in the area.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“2nd to None.“

“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.“

“very good food, authentic ilocano food“

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

“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“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Food & service were exceptional!“

“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.“

“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.“

“My kalby- tang was an excellent choice for me here. The first impression was a visual ribs with chunks of meat on it where is so rare to see on a restaurant in my experience. Then its soup where I black peppered over it and the taste was so great and not even salty like other places just right!. I didn’t pour the rice in it where I usually do but instead without realizing it I get to finish it until the last drop.“

“Kau Kau is serving up delicious grinds consistently. The BBQ sauce on the ribs is some of the best I've ever tasted. Mac salad is kept separately so it doesn't get warm sitting next to the ribs and rice. Prices are fair. If you have never been, I strongly suggest you try it. The whole menu on point.“

“Came in and ordered Teriyaki beef Saimin, mini Loco Moco, Salmon burger with a side of fries, and a mini Chicken Katsu. Very delicious, the chicken was crispy, salmon was cooked well, noodles in the Saimin were not over cooked, and the Loco Moco was great! Highly recommend stopping in here!
We dined in, the A/C could be a little bit colder inside.“

“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! 🤙🏼“

“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.“

“Hangang offers a warm, and authentically Korean atmosphere. The interior is clean and comfortable, making it perfect for family dinners, friendly gatherings, or a relaxed date night. The staff are friendly, attentive, and professional, which adds to the overall pleasant experience. The banchan (side dishes) are fresh, flavorful, and well-balanced, while the main dishes are deeply seasoned, comforting, and taste homemade. 🌺🤙🏻💗“

“I absolutely love their fish burger. The deep-fried, battered fish is perfectly crispy on the outside and incredibly tender on the inside. It’s topped with a rich onion tartar sauce, fresh coleslaw, and served on soft, fluffy buns that bring everything together beautifully. The flavors are outstanding and honestly hard to describe—you really have to try it to believe how good it is. On top of that, this place is also well known for its BBQ, which is just as impressive. If you enjoy great comfort food done right, this spot is a must-try.“

“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“

“Possibly the best breakfast spot for fresh cheap quick brekky. Remember to get the fried rice with the breakfast combo.

Very effective and friendly service.

Just overall what is needed for a quick and easy breakfast.“

“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“

“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.“

“Sunset Lanai ia a great bar with an awrsomr view. They have a really nice bar area and outdoor patio that overlooks pearl harbor. The bar tender was very friendly and prompt. The wings were great, just crispy enough. The fries were really good, seasoned well, and crispy to perfection. Defineftly would go back.

This place is on post.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“Food is great really good but service part could be better? Should greet say hi ask if have any questions their fried rice is great and food is hot. It might be a bit pricey but you gets lots of food.

Parking: Parking is a nightmare cause you have McDonald’s ,cvs ,barber shop ,2 banks different food places you have Thai and Japanese
Safeway, laundry coin operated ,and Gina bbq around the corner near Pizza Hut that is right around the American savings atm and bank.besides a gas station in the middle of it all?“

“You can also eat in the store, but they give you food in disposable containers. After ordering, it was so large that I had no choice but to go, so it was convenient for customers. I ordered one serving of the special set and kimchi pancake, and 2 adults and a 3-year-old child ate it together. I packed the leftover rice and side dishes well and was able to eat until breakfast. When you order a dish, you can choose four side dishes, including kimchi, seasoned seaweed, stewed potatoes, japchae, seasoned bean sprouts, seasoned cabbage, etc. All four we chose were delicious and both the ribs and kimchi pancakes were excellent restaurants. It was the most cost-effective and satisfying meal during my trip to Hawaii?“
