I do not like making negative reviews. And I know that businesses need good reviews to help them flourish. But this place was absolutely disgusting. I don't know if they've ever had Hawaiian food or Hawaiian plate lunches but this is not it.
Their pork was wet and soggy and had liquid smoke or something in it that made it tastes artificial and like it was from kroger. The mac salad tasted like straight chemicals. And the rice tasted like microwavable or boiled rice instead...read full review

Kaukau Hawaiian BBQ is a casual restaurant that offers Hawaiian plate lunches and Hawaiian BBQ dishes. Many customers praise the food for being fresh, hot, and flavorful, especially highlighting the teriyaki chicken and kalbi short ribs, which are described as tender, well-seasoned, and delicious. The rice is consistently praised for its perfect texture, and the macaroni salad is considered on point by several reviewers. Some guests also enjoy the Hawaiian sodas, like orange mango, adding to the authentic experience. The restaurant has a small, laid-back, takeout-style setup with murals that give it a cute and casual vibe. Portions are large, making it a good value. The staff is noted to be friendly, kind, and helpful, especially when answering questions about allergies or menu suggestions. Customers appreciate the quick service and the clean environment. One reviewer, who ordered delivery, particularly enjoyed the Coco Loco shrimp. While the chairs are described as flimsy and not very sturdy, overall, many find the food and service worth the drive, and some plan to return.
