And when you only want half a beer, a self-service beer bar is the way to go! But first, I ordered a crazy-delicious spicy BBQ chicken sandwich to anticipate while I chose my beer. I decided on a light lager, which paired perfectly with the Korean-style spice of the ginormous sandwich. All I can say is: YUM! The vibe here was pretty quiet on a lazy, super rainy Saturday afternoon. It was a good place to eat a meal and do some phone scrolling before heading to the airport. I'd definitely go again (especially for that tasty sammy)!

I ordered the Pork Spare Rib Plate and the Ono Chopped Pork Plate. The plates come with your choice of seasoned rice or Hawaiian rolls, plus two sides. --Ono Chopped Pork Plate - 4/5: I got the furikake-seasoned rice, mac n cheese, and baked beans. I loved the rice and the baked beans. The mac and cheese was pretty good but could've used a little more salt. The chopped pork was tender, but it was a little dry for me. --Pork Spare Rib Plate - 4/5: I got the furikake-seasoned rice, honey mustard potato salad, and coleslaw. The potato salad and coleslaw were just okay, but the spare ribs were so good--super tender and falling right off the bone!! --Just Chili (bowl): Topped with cheese and onions. I thought it was a little salty on its own, but I bet it'd be really good with the Hawaiian rolls. I'd definitely recommend the pork spare ribs, especially with the seasoned rice and baked beans. I'll definitely be back to grab a pound of the spare ribs! The restaurant is inside a brewery, which is a pretty cool setup. It's a self-pour tap house with lots of tables and open space, so it's a great place to hang out with friends or family. The staff was really friendly too!

The kimchi is good though. ~Spicy salmon onigiri (3.25/5): Comes with a decent amount of spicy salmon. It's a little dry though.

Hopefully they still have it when I'm back because it was absolutely delicious. I also got the spicy surimi onigiri togo which was also pretty good.

But the food came out pretty quick and they were nice when I asked for a togo box.

My friend who grew up in Northern VA raves about HawaU as his favorite Hawaiian spot. To be fair,…read morethere aren't many options, so there's not really any competition. I added this casual spot to my list a couple months ago, but didn't have concrete plans to check it out. Driving to Manassas and back on I-66 from where I live would cost half of my brain cells and all my patience. However, a few friends and I drove out to Shenandoah this past Friday evening, and I made a convincing argument that HawaU would be on the way. By the time we arrived, we were all incredibly hungry and ready to wolf down anything edible. The ordering process was easy: we ordered and paid at the counter, grabbed a seat at one of the few tables, and waited ~10-15 minutes for the food (parts of it are made to order). LOCO MOCO (BOWL) - 9.99 The chipotle-sized bowl was topped with loco moco: white rice base topped with hamburger patty, fried egg, grilled pineapple slice, and a generous pour of beef & mushroom gravy, plus sides of fresh cabbage salad and mac salad. The gravy nostalgically reminded me of the ones I'd get from cafeteria-style school lunches -- thick, salty, slightly starchy, yet oddly comforting. The egg, hamburger patty, and rice were pretty standard, but the familiarity of the gravy tied the whole dish together nicely. Both salads were good -- the cabbage was more light and refreshing, while the mac salad felt a bit heavy after all the loco moco. Since it's my first time eating loco moco, I can't say how it compares to others. However, I found HawaU's incredibly comforting and hearty. It really hit the spot for me, and I ate the whole bowl within 10 minutes. The loco moco is definitely their signature option and a must try. My friends who got the spicy pork bowl and udon thought both were just OK and not special.

We've had plenty of bad experiences with Chinese buffet seafood making us feel sick--pretty sure I'm not the only one--but that has never happened here. The food is always freshly steamed and served hot when you order. I'm not a big fan of overly salty, heavy American-style seasoning, so I really appreciate that they can prepare it without all that. Also, my daughter doesn't eat much seafood, but they're flexible and let us order something simple like a mozzarella stick for her, which is a huge plus. Yes, there's an 18% gratuity for parties of 5 or more, but it feels fair for the quality and service. The gumbo you can order on the side is amazing, and the crab legs, mussels, clams, and shrimp are all fresh and delicious. It's $58.99 per person, which isn't cheap, but definitely worth it. Highly recommend.

We started with the hush puppies, sweet potato fries and chicken wings. All were perfectly fried and tasty. The hush puppies were the highlight. Then we moved onto our seafood. We got a huge platter of snow crab legs, a lobster tail, shrimp and mussels. The seafood came out piping hot and cooked well. I wish the seafood had a bit more seasoning and less chunks of garlic. But, overall enjoyed it! They give you gloves and a bib so you can dig in without worrying getting too messy. One special thing they have on the menu is their ramen side. I've never seen this at other crab boils. The ramen is so tasty in the garlic butter sauce. It was my favorite part and I kept going back for more! We ordered another platter of seafood and were stuffed! The service can be improved. Our waitress came by a few times but not enough to get refills on our drinks or other things we needed. But, overall a good experience.

Food wise it's ok bit problem is that there is 0 customization. Like you are pretty much penalized for doing any customization which is ridiculous and for example if I get a rice bowl it's like 80% of the bowl. So you are paying for an expensive bowl of rice.
