    Island Beef Ribs Lunch Plate
    Alexander Y.

    808 Local Hawaiian Grill has been on my radar for awhile, but I haven't really had much reason to come all the way to Orange for it. Well, I was finally in the area, so why not? When I see beef ribs on the menu at a Hawaiian place, it's a pretty straightforward decision for me! Although the ribs don't look like they have a ton of meat on them, once you get it off the bone there's actually a decent amount of meat. The marinade they put on these things is so good! Has a nice hint of sweetness and is very flavorful. Of course, any trip to a Hawaiian spot can't be complete without a Spam musubi! Their teriyaki Spam musubi is solid. Staff here are friendly, no complaints on my end. Overall, worth the trip. It's not Hawaii, but it's good enough!

    100/5!!! SUCH a good poke & Hawaiian plate spot. I've come here multiple times for poke and it never disappoints. food: I ordered the poke plate, with CALI HI & Spicy Garlic poke. CALI HI tastes like a California roll, and spicy garlic is for all the soy sauce and garlic lovers. quality of the poke was perfect. no complaints. I also ordered Hawaiian bbq chicken plate. the Mac salad was SO GOOD. I just wish there was some sauce for the chicken! service: they're always so nice to me and helpful when I come. ambiance: small for sure. only about 8 seats inside. definitely good for a quick, very casual sit down.

    This is a real COMMUNITY spot. It is serious business here. They have so much posted on the wall for what they do in collaboration with the community. And the poke is actual REAL good poke! Prices reflect the quality. Guys were super friendly too.

    The food was so delicious and authentic, the gentleman at the counter who took our order was very knowledgeable and friendly Ambience is very mellow and relax. Good environment and you can sit outside and enjoy your delicious meal. Definitely returning every opportunity that arises Highly recommended for a bite to eat in a delicious way at that

    FALLL OFF THE BONE GOOD!

    This meal slaps! Had it after a big exam and felt like a big reward. The meat was really flavorful and tender. Wonton chips could've been a bit fresher but overall scrumptious.

    Hawaiian BBQ Chicken Plate
    Sue L.

    I love a Hawaiian plate lunch, but 808 Local Hawaiian Grill was not it for me. The Hawaiian bbq chicken was over handled, cut up to bits, and super dry. The rice was even hard and dry. But most offensive was the spinach salad dressed with...Hoisin or oyster sauce?!? Ay yo, Hoisin sauce isn't a salad dressing. Ugh, why do you ruin perfectly good greens like that?! Really weird choice. Ambiance was so drab and dingy. I know my "808 local" aloha vibes, and this my friends, definitely wasn't it. And styrofoam containers?! Like it's 1988. I was only in this rundown area because I had a medical appointment somewhat nearby, but I definitely need not be back.

    Shrimp Tempura musubi
    Tatiana T.

    HIDDEN GEM!! Ordered 2 musubis (one spicy spam and one shrimp tempura) and a small side of Mac salad. First off, the small side of Mac salad was only $2.75 and the portion is GOOD! For all the mac salad lovers you NEED to try. Rice for musubis was perfectly seasoned and gave a mold without falling apart. Spicy musubi had a real kick to it 7/10 spice rating which was just what I wanted. Shrimp tempura musubi was my favorite thing I ordered, there was this tangy sauce that was included in it that gave it such a unique flavor that I LOVED. On top of the kickass food, the staff were so lovely and enthusiastic. I definitely will be coming back to try the poke next!

    BBQ Lunch Plate
    Steve H.

    Huge disappointment! Was here a few weeks ago and ordered the BBQ chicken plate. Then I got so much food I had enough for a second meal. Full pieces of chicken. Went today and portions have shrunk so much, it barely counts as one meal. Chicken is now cubed and dry. I'll never go back. It sucks when both quality and quantity suffer and they have the never to charge the same price!!

    Spam masubis
    Monique R.

    First the place is very small. Not the kind of place you can sit a really have lunch with a friend but if you work in a nearby business offices or the hospital I recommend calling in your order and then picking it up. Save you time and not having to wait outside since space is limited. However, the katsu!!! OmG!! some of the crispiest chicken I have ever had. I have tried so many before but this Katsu was so good. It was paired with spinach and Mac salad. Im very picky with my Mac salad and this one wasnt my fave but the hubby liked it. I also got two orders of the spam masubi. These were very thin sliced spam and they seemed very tiny ( like fit in the palm of my hand) I guess I expected bigger size?? idk, lol but like I said all the flavors were great! if your in the area definitely check this place out but dont forget to order ahead of time!

    What I ordered: - Poke bowl with "poke my love" and "spicy garlic" flavors Each poke bowl comes with a base (rice, mixed green, etc.), two toppings (kimchi, yellow radish, etc.), and two poke flavors. All of their poke flavors are comprised of tuna, no other type of fish. The quality of their tuna is standard, not terrible. The flavors range from shoyu to creamier mayo versions. I typically go for the spicy garlic and add a creamy flavor for a nice contrast. Their poke flavors are a bit salty at times but never lacking in bold taste, the rice and toppings also help balance the saltiness out. If you're unsure what to pick, they give out samples!

    I have been meaning to give this place a try, but always show up close to closing, so I never go in. Today I made sure to show up at least an hour before closing. Greeted right away very friendly & welcoming. Decided on the katsu chicken. Plates are made to order so you know it's gonna be fresh. Got home and dove right in, smell wonderful too. Portion was spot on & hit the spot, tasty too. I will be back!!! Great customer service!

    2 spam Teriyaki Musubi's togo power bar for me please.

    Wanted to eat some Hawaiian food so decided to check this one out. It's like a mom and pops kind of place. Small and surrounded with other stores. Service here is friendly. Food here is freshly cook. There's a fee for substitution on sides dishes for the combos plate. Check out my pics for reviews.

    Big Kahuna Island Beef Ribs Lunch Plate
    Kaylee S.

    A quaint spot, my friend and I shared the Big Kahuna and the Island Beef Ribs. The dishes come with a lot of side options. We got the salad and mac salad. I enjoyed the flavor of the mac salad. The Big Kahuna came with spam and sausage. It was too salty for us. The flavor of the Island Beef Ribs was good, but it was a slightly hard to chew/rip off the bone. I would recommend trying the Island Beef Ribs. The service was nice and the space was not too busy. It is smaller on the inside, but there are a few tables inside.

I'm more of a people person and would rather order from someone than try to build everything on a tablet. It also felt a little limiting when trying to customize the bowl exactly how I wanted. Not a bad spot by any means, just didn't fully hit for me personally.

I love Hawaiian food and have my favorite spots for legit grindz on four of the islands (5 if you count Las Vegas!), not to mention all the places sprinkled throughout the mainland. I'm not a snob but I appreciate fresh ingredients made with aloha. Unfortunately, da kine here had neither. The place is easy enough to find, just off Tustin in a plaza, right next to a Subway. The inside was dim and quiet. There was only one other couple in there, who walked in just before us. My +1 ordered the loco moco. She got overcooked patties, runny eggs and prepackaged gravy in a separate container. I ordered the combo with short rib, barbecue beef and chicken. It tasted like it was cooked in old grease and was bland despite the teriyaki sauce. My keiki (mini +1) got the teriyaki chicken with macaroni salad and didn't want to eat it. It didn't sit right with any of us. As some other reviewers mentioned, I don't think it was made fresh. I came hoping for 'ono but all I found was "oh no." The plates were full, but what's the point of choke portions if you just gonna choke on it? No thanks. Edit: I originally left two stars, but after the whole ohana (family) had upset stomachs all night, had to drop it.
