Same fine food, unexciting atmosphere, but some doggone great food! I always read the reliable Yelp reviews. One of them said she ordered a double macaroni salad.

The service is great. A little wait is worth the fresh cooked bbq!

I stopped by Wiki Hawaiian Barbecue after visiting another business a few doors down and decided to…read moregive it a try. The photos of the food looked great, and to be fair, the food itself did look and taste good once I finally got it. I ordered the chicken katsu, and the portion and presentation were solid. Where the experience really fell short for me was the service. When I first walked in, no one came out to greet me. The woman working in the back (I later learned her name is Linda) just kept cooking, and it wasn't until another employee asked her to come out that I was actually helped. When she did come out, her demeanor was very short, inflexible, and not particularly kind. It didn't feel welcoming at all. I went ahead and placed my order anyway. It took a while for the food to be prepared, and during that time another customer came in and also waited. Again, the interaction felt more like an obligation than genuine customer service. Overall: Food: Good I'd give the chicken katsu itself about 3.5-4 stars Service: Disappointing - I'd give it closer to 2 stars Because there are several other restaurants up and down this same street serving similar food, I'll be trying those out (probably more than once) before I consider coming back here. If I find a place with comparable food and better service, that's where my money will go. Three stars overall for decent food, but the service needs serious improvement.

There's no seating inside the restaurant but there's a large table in the middle for those who may want to stand and eat. Service was great and the staff were friendly. While I was not the biggest fan of the food due to me finding it bland, I did appreciate the prices and the portion sizes. For a large plate, we only paid 10 dollars. The portion size was huge and the amount of chicken, rice and veggies they gave you were great. I would try another dish before I say I wouldn't come back but I appreciated the experience.

Got sunny side up eggs with runny yolks that just melt together with the gravy, rice, and pork. The sweet, buttery roll soaked in the gravy is also such a good addition. 100% getting this again! -Chicken Long Rice: a little different than the ones we tried in Hawaii (different noodle and more veggies in this one) but still so comforting and delish. Heartwarming and gingery goodness. -BBQ chicken plate: also very solid, not super sweet like teriyaki and comes in a decent sized portion. Mac salad is legit and so good - perfect consistency and seasonings. -French toast: one of the best! A superb doughy, chewy, cinnamony, thick cut slice that I drowned in butter and syrup. Ordered take out and it was ready within 15 min or so. Parking lot looked tiny but we just parked on the residential street and it was a quick walk. Wish I lived closer (I'd be here all the time) but totally worth the trip - will be coming back again very soon!

The 3 meats were all over cook to a burnt look and taste. I was able to send it back and it was taken off. The meat sliders were pretty good. The look of the Cole slaw was very wet and not fresh. Very watery. I must say the fries were awesome. They taste as if they were double fired and crispy but moist on the inside.

The cashier who was also the cook was quick and sanitary, washing his hands after he took my order. The place is nicely decorated but was lonely at the time. I'll be back for sure. Musubi!!!

I got the chicken katsu and is definitely meant for someone who likes their katsu thin and super crispy. It was a bit dry so the katsu sauce helps. I wouldn't go back to get the chicken katsu.

I would go back for their lunch specials .

This, along with the cashier's curt, unapologetic attitude ruined my appetite. Definitely not the "Aloha Attitude" I had hoped for.

Pros: -Plenty of parking in the back of the restaurant. -Very reasonable prices. -Spacious and quaint interior. Comfortable and chill atmosphere. -Friendly staff. -Fast service. -Great food (except with one minor exception noted below). The French Toast and Portuguese sausages were outstanding. Cons: -Poor attention to details. The wife got a fork with a piece of food stuck to it, which means it wasn't washed properly. We also only got one knife between the two of us. We ended up sharing the knife rather than asking for a second one. -Once the food was served to us, the server did not come around to check up on us. -Maybe it was meant to be served this way, but the scrambled eggs were overcooked. Despite some flaws, I would still recommend this place. Not going to penalize a place for mistakes that most customers probably wouldn't even notice or experience themselves. For the price point and quality of the food, this place is damn good.

"Welcome to Gardena Bowl"…read more This was the greeting I got from the jolly, heavyset Hispanic guy working the counter at the Gardena Bowl Coffee Shop. He had such great energy and charisma - something that is missing in this cold and dark world. Gardena Bowl Coffee Shop is truly a hidden gem, especially for folks not from the South Bay area. It's an institution in South Bay and worth the visit for those who are fans of diners or Hawaiian food. Gardena Bowl Coffee Shop is a diner located inside a bowling alley, how cool is that?! The diner opens approximately one hour earlier (8 AM) before the bowling alley (opens at 9 AM), and you'll see some of the senior league members stopping by for their daily coffee. Their waitstaff never miss a beat; they will refill your coffee before you even ask, especially if you're sitting at the counter. The big fella, who I honestly wish I caught his name because he was such a jolly and kind man, gave me some recommendations. He told me to look for the shaka on the menu, as those items are popular dishes. He also provided some of his personal favorites. I decided to go with the Garlic Chicken, which was a healthy portion of crispy garlic chicken that came with a scoop of mac salad, broccoli covered in thousand island dressing, and a slice of an orange. I got a side of bacon and sausage fried rice, as someone on Yelp mentioned it was worth getting. I would probably skip the bacon and sausage next time as it's a protein and sodium overload, but it was definitely good. I think I should have opted for the Kimchi Bacon Fried Rice. There are several dishes I hope to try the next time I visit, such as the Loco Moco and Oxtail Soup. This is a legit Hawaiian-style diner. There's a reason they've been in business since 1945. I liked this spot so much I picked up a shirt to add to my collection. I can't wait to come back again soon!
