“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.“

“Best BBQ spot in the area.“

“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.“

“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“

“I ordered the korean fried chicken knowing it has a 25 minute wait, so worth it. I ordered the spicy one with a side of 3 scoops of rice, I ordered the half chicken the picture is the half I didnt eat yet. For the the price you can't beat it.“

“We are visiting a local center. Food vendors are plentiful. While weighing our options i noticed a family with some of Shaka Skakes food. It looked amazing. They were eating like it was amazing. I hunted them up. I ordered orange chicken. While waiting others were utilizing the variety of sauces. I sampled them while waiting. They were very good. Once I sampled my food I opted to NOT use the sauces. My food was perfect without it. I highly recommend. Sorry for the pic. I went in on the plate b4 I thought to take a picture. Portions are large.“

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

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

“Friendly staff and yummy food.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“Came here based on the great reviews, and it totally lived up to the hype! The food tastes absolutely amazing, every dish was full of authentic Korean flavor. Service was warm and the atmosphere is cozy. Highly recommend this spot to anyone craving delicious Korean food!“

“We ordered Deep Fried Fish Fillet and a Ham and Egg Sandwich and it was excellent!!! However, we also ordered a Double BBQ Cheeseburger (Deluxe) and the meat was disgusting! It did not taste like hamburger meat and I have no idea what type of meat they used! I was so disappointed 😞“

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

“I’ve been coming to this place for a long time now, and I feel like their quality has even improved since the last time I came here. The food was made to perfection, everything was seasoned very well, and the presentation was flawless. I wish I had taken a photo before I started eating, but it was that good! I ordered the tofu soup with beef and the spicy chicken plate (not pictured).“

“100% Super delicious foods 👌😋😍“

“Just go there and get it.“

“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! 🤙🏼“

“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.“

“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.“

“Juiciest chicken ever with beautifully smokey flavor and charred crunchy bits on perfectly glazed skin! We ordered a whole chicken and every piece was incredibly juicy and flavorful. We got to meet Mark, the owner, and learned this is a 4 year old family business. Mark even offered to give us extra rice, drinks, and some garlic shrimp to try (which was also absolutely perfectly cooked, plump, juicy and not too sweet of the sauce). We want more people to come visit and enjoy their amazing food, hospitality, and local vibe.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Amazing food and service. Been around a long time and still great“

“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.“

“This was hands down my favorite place to eat during our 9 day vacation on Oahu! I believe it’s a husband and wife run spot, with the wife working up front and the husband cooking in the back.

We ordered the meat jun, short ribs, and shrimp tempura. Let me tell you…the meat jun was AMAZING! My kids absolutely devoured it. But for me, the star of the meal was definitely the short ribs. They were packed with flavor, the pieces were huge, and honestly, they were some of the best short ribs I’ve ever had!

The only downside was that the food took a little longer to come out. But considering this seems to be a mom and pop shop, it really wasn’t a big deal at all. When the food is this good, it’s worth the wait!

Definitely one of those places I’ll remember from our Oahu trip!“

“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.“

“Being from Texas, Brisket is a food group. The brisket was really good and just fell apart. The homemade sausage was good as well. Actually everything we order was great.

They were not selfish on the shaved ice! Definitely get one. Four can easily share it.

The service and hospitality were excellent.
We would definitely come back again.“

“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!“

“I actually went here to get a club fixed at Asao Golf which located at Newtown Driving Range. It was my first time setting foot in this pro shop and let me tell you, it may be small but it's stocked full of great high end golf equipment. The staff is very friendly and you can tell they are very passionate about the work that they do. So if you're in need of repairs or new equipment definitely give this place a look.“

“I had kimchi stew and pork belly and it was really delicious! The ribs were especially soy sauce-based, perfect for Korean tastes😆 And the portions were really, really big! For those of you who are in the news, please order one to share.. The unfortunate thing is that eating outdoors can make you food for mosquitoes..ㅠㅠ Everything else was good!!“

“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.“

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

“I like their chicken wings/drums adobo. And the pinakbet is good too. Lastly, Empanadas 😀“

“Yummy Korea BBQ at Pearlridge Mall is one of my go-to spots when I’m craving something flavorful and filling. What really sets it apart is how clean and well-kept everything is—you can tell they take pride in how they run the place. The food always tastes fresh, from the perfectly grilled BBQ chicken and kalbi to the crisp, well-seasoned sides. There’s a depth of flavor in their BBQ that you just don’t get at most other food court places. It feels like real care goes into every plate. For a quick bite, it’s surprisingly satisfying and always hits the spot.“

“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!“

“Food is surprisingly delicious for this place. My wife ordered the BBQ chicken and I got the bbq short rib. The portion sizes are huge, a mini is more than enough for one person. The chicken is juicy and incredibly flavorful and same for the short rib. The macaroni salad was also so good! My wife hates mayo and she loved it. The service was pretty meh, not bad not good, and atmosphere is close to a fast food joint. Overall if you’re looking for quick good food at a good price, this spot is for you.“

“Amazing birthday dinner at Stadium Camellia! The kalbi was beautifully marinated, the pork jowl was flavorful and rendered perfectly, and the banchan was plentiful. Everything was well worth the price.

Chris and Kya were quick, attentive, and very accommodating with our two-year-old. We also loved that they serve Samurai Ice Cream and rotate the flavors monthly.

My only complaint is that the table and toddler seat slid around a little too easily. Other than that, we had an amazing experience. The real downside is that we didn’t come here sooner!“

“Went before da lunch rush. Had the katsu curry special of day $12.99. Was big portions, but the curry sauce wasn't on the katsu (but they gave katsu sauce too). I asked the guy if can put curry on the katsu \\u0026 he did! It was the counter girls first day \\u0026 she didn't really have a trainer so took Lil long but I gave her a tip anyway bc she was just thrown in front \\u0026 trying. Was so big I saved half my plate!“

“I dream of their garlic chicken. It’s my first and last stop when I visit. I just can’t figure out how they make it!“

“This L&L is THE BEST food out of all of the ones I've been to on this island. Their fried rice is amaze-balls and the garlic chicken is exceptional! I've have other dishes too that are so delicious. I've eaten the same recipes at other L&L franchises and it's good, but not as good as this place. You really don't want to miss it!“

“YUMMY 😋 YUM! fast service and food is always 👌 😋 🔥 💯“

“I was over-charged by at least $10, but by not contesting cost until three weeks later, manager(?) denied bilking me. Went to eat with friend, and was too busy to think about questioning cost. Manager tabulated items separately, unseen; however, three weeks later, cost was rung up and available to be reviewed. Both times, no tabulation of items bought presented, just the charge. Yeah, my bad.“

“The food is great by park standards.

More than the typical burgers and fries, but they still have the goods for the “I’ll just have the chicken tenders” people.

Order at the window. Pay. Take a buzzer. Sit. Your buzzer buzzes. Retrieve your food. Eat. Throw away trash.

The pork tacos are good. Pork nachos are good and the chicken tenders are exactly what you expect. Good fries. Pineapple was just ok.

Not cheap, but all in all it’s available.“

“Food was hot and fresh. Restaurant was clean. Lots of food for the price. The seafood platter was fantastic. Great flavor! Service was fast. Two of us were eating the platter and I didn’t even say that we were, but we were given forks and napkins for both of us. Would definitely make the trip to North Shore again. Wonderful experience by all four of us in the party.“
