Kokonut Hawaiian BBQ - Salt Lake City

The food is so good. I love the Maui Chicken and the Kalua Pork especially. I'm also not a big Mac salad person, but I love theirs. Also the guava cake??? Treat yourself. Get it. It's delicious.

Everything was great the food and service. One thing I would like them to change is keeping the table clean. I was the only customer for dine in and it was hard to find a table that was clean. The only clean table was next to the trash can
I had to settle for a dirty table.

We went with high expectations because the reviews and the menu looked like a 10/10. Unfortunately, the person who served us seemed to be in a bad mood; he gave us a lot of attitude and, on top of that, served us a measly portion of macaroni salad—instead of two full scoops, he gave us one and a half (he ran out of what he had, and rather than getting more to complete the portion, he just scraped up what was left in the container, which was so little that it didn't even make a full serving). This was the first and last time we’ll visit this place; I hope you improve your customer service. $45 wasted.

You can tell the food is made with with care. My mother is from Hawaii. And you can tell this is main land food making island inspired. But its very close and that makes me happy to find food that reminds me of what mother would have at theses monthly islander pot lucks. Portion sizes were good. And the food was amazing.

Kokonut Hawaiian BBQ delivers consistently tasty, generous portions at a price that actually feels fair—something that’s getting harder to find with Hawaiian food in Utah. The kalua pork is tender and smoky, the chicken plates are juicy with just the right amount of char, and the sides—especially the macaroni salad and rice—come out fresh, balanced, and never bland. Everything arrives hot and well‑seasoned, which makes even a simple plate lunch feel like real comfort food.

What really sets this place apart is its reliability. Even during peak hours, when the line stretches and the kitchen is moving fast, the quality doesn’t dip. Orders come out quickly, portions stay consistent, and the staff keeps things friendly without slowing anything down. It’s the kind of spot you can count on for a quick lunch, a casual dinner, or a no‑stress takeout option after a long day.

With so many Hawaiian restaurants opening across Utah, it’s easy for them to blend together—but Kokonut Hawaiian BBQ still manages to stand out. The combination of fair pricing, dependable flavor, and genuinely satisfying plates makes it one of the better Hawaiian options in the state, especially if you want something hearty without breaking the bank.
