Great choice for food here!!! Healthy and affordable for a family of 4-5!!!! Open til 9pm (last call 855pm) Good service with smile !!!! Delivered with good vibes !!!! Helped by Maria!!!! Order the Hawaiian bbq and katsu chicken!!!! So bomb!!!

Chicken Combo
Nana K.

Leftover for days! No complaints either, because their food is delicious. And if you haven't guessed, their portions are huge. Our boxes were rubber banded together so the food doesn't pop out. Boy, were we impressed with how much was inside. Even better, their food is delicious. I ordered their Hawaiian barbecue beef. It was so good! Flavor on point, meat nice and tender, and love their macaroni salad. Hubbie got their chicken combo which was also very good. We ordered by phone ahead of time, and they let us know our food would be ready right away. Picking up was no problem, and our food tasted warm and fresh back at home. Will definitely be ordering from Aloha Hawaiian again!

First thing first...the portion here is always large. I would have to eat one portion in two meals. Ordered the chicken combo with both bbq chicken and katsu. The katsu has one eaten fresh since reheating the katsu makes the breading not as tasty. The service is quick with plenty of seating indoors and out to have lunch there at the store. All of the packaging is for taking it as a to go order so you don't have to ask for any containers for the leftovers.

Aloha is always such a solid choice! Teriyaki chicken always on point, Mac salad keeps you coming back for more, and the workers here are so pleasant and make you feel so welcomed! I would pick this location over other Hawaiian spots closer to me

I love this place, the portions are huge and the food is bomb !!! They are fast with your order and they always get it right! Place is right next to target which is nice too!

The order number is giant and unmistakeable

Fast and friendly service. I also love that the order number from the kiosk is giant and unmistakeable, so there's no confusion when they call out your number.

2.5-3 out of 5 stars for me Clean space, decent service, and large portions. Located in the same plaza as Target so plenty of parking. I ordered the BBQ beef mini meal which came with a scoop of rice, a scoop of mac salad, and a chunk of cabbage. The bbq beef looked like jerky and was too salty for me. There was not enough rice to offset the saltiness for me. I needed a knife to slice and eat the cabbage.

Chicken Katsu all mac no rice

Once upon a time I swear their portions were underwhelming. Recently I went and to my surprise they are packing their boxes just like the good old days !! Staff here is always friendly, they're super quick, and it's located conveniently within the district!

Combination

If you love meat and huge portions, this is your place. No matter what we've ordered here, we always find that there's more than enough to fill you up. The platters all include macaroni, rice and veggies (cabbage). There's a number of combinations that can include chicken, beef, fish (Mahi) and other items. We have often ordered the shrimp, fish and chicken combo, and always find there's plenty for leftovers. At about $15 and above for each platter, it is good value as well. The beef combo that includes beef ribs and beef is one of the best values you can get for this quality of meat anywhere in the area. Food comes out quick and it's all delicious. The katsu, fish and shrimp are deep-fried but I still appreciate that it didn't taste like it was dripping with oil, just crispy and tender inside. The shop can get crowded so at the peak times, you may need to wait for a table but not long. For groups of more than 6, you likely need to sit separately as the tables are not movable. Staff are good, and it never felt dirty or uncomfortable, just a great place to visit especially convenient if you want to shop at nearby Walmart, Lowe's or Costco.

Ommgee so much food. The to go container was bursting.

Does the food contain any nuts?

Never seen nuts on any of their menu items. Tip: Just get the BBQ Mix and you're good for 3 meals' worth.

Hi what app do I order for pickup? I tried postmates And it is only allowing for delivery.

Hi! I haven't used an app for pickup, but they are generally good at answering their phones when you order 😃

Do they deliver?

Unfortunately not

First time diner and reviewer…read more I've eaten at plenty of AYCE Korean BBQ restaurants, but this was the first time I got to self-serve the meats! I love the meat and veggies bar where I can pick and choose what meats I want at the portions I'm comfortable with. The problem with most AYCE BBQ restaurants is that they always give so much meat. Even if I ask them to provide half they would refuse for some reason. Since I don't really like bothering servers all the time, asking them to bring more food to the table, I really love the freedom of getting the meats myself at my own pace. This way I can control the frequency, the portions and won't end up paying extra for leftovers I couldn't finish. For an affordable lunch menu they do offer a good variety of meat and side dish options. The food is delicious. The marinades are bold and flavorful, although they can be a bit overwhelming. I do wish they had some kind of dressing for the salad. The service is friendly. The server was super nice and attentive, coming around to change the grill often. Definitely coming back.

As far as AYCE goes, this one is average quality. Service was good. They have a mix of order…read moremeats and meats at the buffet bar. They do have galbi , which most AYCE places do not offer. Limited sides. Please come and create your own adventure.

We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch on 9/13/26. We've been here…read morea few times before and though not great, it has always helped to scratch the bbq itch. But this time, we all agreed there was some vast improvements, enough to prompt a good review. There were three of us so we started with a "Build YOUR Own BBQ COMBO" with two meats. We chose the St. Louis ribs and the jalapeño cheese sausage. The way to go with this is to order it dry rub. That way you control what kind of sauce (they have three to choose from on the table) and how much of it you want. It was pretty lean, so was a little dry but very flavorful. It had a nice smoky flavor with the spices nicely permeating each bite. The jalapeño sausage went spicy at all but was good. I'm not really a sausage person so I can't really judge it as they are usually all rated "meh" in my book. It comes with one side so we chose the garlic mashed potatoes. That was pretty tasty too--good balance of salt and creamy enough without feeling like it was too heavy or rich. We also shared the "Pick 2 COMBO" but added a third meat (for an additional charge). It really was two meats, as we doubled the order for baby back ribs (everybody at the table wanted that!) and the Texas style brisket (also for a slight up charge). The ribs were worth doubling. We ordered that dry rubbed too and it was delicious. Thick and juicy, the smoky meat just fell off the bone and melted in your mouth. If you have to choose between St Louis or baby back...well, you can guess who wins. The brisket was ok but surprisingly bland. Weird. It came with two sides, so we chose the Mac and cheese and the seasonal roasted vegetables (our attempt to be healthy...lol). The veggies were slightly overcooked, but nice again, well balanced with the salt and seasonings. The winner was definitely the Mac and cheese. It was creamy and cheesy, though the pasta was just slightly overcooked, but my preference is al dente. It's also worth noting that they bring freshly baked biscuits (sometimes even warm) & apple butter to the table. Not only is it complimentary but they will bring you more if you want them. And they aren't dry hockey pucks either. They actually taste good! Imagine that! Our server Brandon was friendly and attentive. He came by a few times to check on us, so that's always appreciated. We suspect they either had new cooks or tweaked some of the recipes. Whatever they did, hope they keep up the good work!

It was a delicious meal. Only thing I wish though, was more sauce. I would've been okay if they pre-dressed the meal with the sauce also. Or, give us two sauces instead. Staff is friendly here. I only interacted with the lady at the counter. When my order wasn't up after awhile, I did ask her if there was an update with my order. She kindly just apologized for the delay and made my order. Customer service exists here, which is really awesome. I would definitely come back next time!

It made it feel like a fun place and very welcoming to come back. The place has very simple decorations.

Its hours of operation are convenient, making it a great option for anything from an early lunch to an evening family meal. Although the restaurant is small, it is comfortable When ordering at the counter, the staff is always friendly and welcoming. My go-to favorite is the Soy Garlic Wings, featuring a crispy outer coating and juicy, tender meat inside. The traditional Asian soy flavor is complemented by a sticky glaze that strikes a satisfying balance of sweet and salty, making every bite delicious. I've also sampled many other popular items from their extensive menu. The selection goes well beyond what you might expect from a typical chicken restaurant, offering an abundant variety of flavorful choices to suit different tastes. Everything I've tried has been fresh, flavorful, and served at just the right temperature. bb.q Chicken Tustin consistently exceeds my expectations for a fast-casual restaurant, making it a place I'm happy to return to time and time again.

I regret not doing that the first time I ordered here. You can let them know your pick-up time and it's steaming hot and crispy when you pick it up. Catering orders come with pickled radish, and upon request ketchup and disposable chopsticks. I was introduced to bb.q Chicken at a party and each time I've brought it to a party or potluck people always ask where I get it and I always say the Tustin location is the best! The staff are friendly on the phone and in person. They greet you with a smile. They're helpful. The chicken is always freshly made to order. And they're always on time with your pickup time. Plus it smells amazing the moment you open the door! The wings are meaty and flavorful and can be enjoyed by adults and children, old and young. Diverse groups enjoy the Korean inspired flavors and no one can just have one. Plus I've never had any leftovers.

Today they were also out of nacho cheese but I'm not sure what that goes on? There's a dry erase board when you come in that tells you what's sold out.
