This place has awesome fresh food, they take a while because they cook the food fresh. The service is ok, the ladies that were there are not very people friendly but they are not rude whatsoever. Great place to try.

Short rib plate, chicken katsu and bbq chicken plate
Sara K.

Ana's Osland Grill is a great hole in the wall local spot. I'd say their musubi and otai (pineapple and watermelon drink) are the most amazing things I tried on the menu. Me and a friend arrived after a family of 4 and before another group of 2 people. We ordered the short rib plate, chicken katsu bbq plate, musubi and 2 otais (~$65 in total) to dine in and it took a while for us to get our food as they prepared it after we ordered. Unfortunately, the short rib and bbq chicken tasted very tough and overcooked, despite being freshly prepared. The macaroni was also a little too peppery for me. I'd come solely for the musubi and otai again, but I'd try the food again hoping it would be less overcooked.

Fish & Hawaiian BBQ Chicken
Rosalva C.

I usually have Hawaiian food when I travel to San Francisco but this week a series of events didn't allow me to have it so I came home to DFW and searched for Island food and found Ana's Island Grill and boy was I happy to find them! It looks like a family run small place but don't let its small venue fool you, the flavors pack a good punch and the fish especially was delicious! The chicken was a just slightly on the tough side but the flavor was still good. Their service was friendly and the food was made right when ordered. The location is easy to access and the dinning room is humbly small. If you're looking for fast food just place your order ahead because they do cook it fresh so don't come in expecting your food right away. Remember they cook the meat fresh! Trust me the wait is worth it! There's only three tables so keep your parties small or place your order to go for larger parties. Give them a try and shout out your favorite dish.

Chicken katsu

Always a good meal at Ana's island grill!! They make it when you order it so call ahead !!

Teriyaki price + bbq chicken plate
Nick G.

Ambiance: this place is more of a "hole in the wall" but very good! They have seats inside but I would consider it more of a takeaway spot! Still very close to local food!!! A must try if you want some "local food" What did we order: -1 Teri beef + bbq chicken plate ( very good, would order again, a lot of food so you could share) -1 coconut shrimp + chicken katsu plate (10/10 best thing on the menu) Service: quick and Efficient * try the spam musubi

OMG this food is amazing!!! I stopped in a a few weeks ago as I was traveling for work and needed some lunch. The staff was very friendly and patient with me as I tried to figure out what I wanted. The food was cooked to order and tasted amazing!! I wish there was one close to me

Loco moco bowl
Gary P.

Small little shop at the end of a shopping strip. Food selection is wide and my loco moco bowl was great. Perfect size for lunch!!

BBQ chicken bowl
John C.

We love Hawaiian cuisine and we're glad to have such a good spot near us. Ordered the BBQ chicken bowl and a spam musubi. They cooked the meals to order so it took a bit longer for takeout standards but we definitely prefer freshness over speed. You can order online to mitigate the wait. The chicken was juicy and flavorful and I loved the side macaroni salad. We'd def return to try the other meats, recommend!

Hawaiian bbq chicken plate
Amy D.

Tried something new and was disappointed. With tip, it was a $50 meal for what would be $30 at Hawaiian Bros. I rather support a local business but this did not meet the bar. The bbq chicken plate: rice was wet, bbq chicken tasted off- the sauce seemed okay but the chicken itself tasted funny. Macaroni salad was par and the side salad with ranch was not good and over dressed. The pork plate was similar with many of the above notes, and the pork itself was under seasoned. The best part of the meal that redeemed a lot of the visit was the musubi. They almost forgot it too. Way better than Hawaiian bros and on par for the ones I had in Hawaii. I highly recommend it! They added some teriyaki sauce on it and it was delicious. Overall, I think if the restaurant had better ac and lively music playing, it would give better vibes. When we went today it felt a bit sad with no music and hot air.

Chicken Katsu plate with Otai drink Short Rib plate  EXCELLENT PORTIONS AND FLAVOR

With all the food being made from scratch, you'll feel right at home sitting in this quaint air conditioned dive delightful people :)

coconut shrimp

Coconut shrimp is from a bag and they are quite rude. Strange place here lol. I came here to get authentic hawaiian food, because I thought that's what they did, and I ordered the coconut shrimp mostly out of curiosity of what the hawaiian version of this was. It was the second most expensive lunch plate at 17.99. As I was sitting there questioning how it could cost that much, I saw them pour a freezer bag of coconut shrimp into the fryer I was like, no way. So then I went up and asked if they made the coconut shrimp here, and they confirmed it is the only thing on their menu that they don't make. I tried to be very polite and just clarified that that's fine, but I thought it would be homemade, and I would not have paid $18 if I had known. She told me to talk to the other lady, who proceeded to be very rude. She kept saying "so you don't want it cause it's from a bag" like that's not a good enough reason to politely decline when I was under the impression it was $18 due to authenticity. When I explained that, she said "how would you know? are you Hawaiian?" I don't have to be anything other than not dumb to know that a freezer bag of wholesale premade food is not Hawaiian. Even after confirming that it was pre-made, she still questioned me about how I would know, since I wasn't Hawaiian. I thought that was really rude. Again, I was very polite the whole time, just honest about what I thought I was paying for. In the end she, by definition, nickel-and-dimed me. She spent like 10 minutes busting out the calculator so she could charge me for everything that came on the plate that wasn't shrimp- to the very penny. So in the she refunded me $11, and I paid $7 for $2 mac and cheese and wet lettuce that I did not touch. Doesn't really add up, and as someone that grew up in the restaurant industry, she could have easily comped the meal, but instead chose to add every cent of limp lettuce up. Overall, I understand having something on your menu that isn't authentic, but when that's your whole thing, maybe it should be over with the kids food, not $18, off the menu entirely, or at the very least, communicated before purchasing. And aside from all that, I felt a little conned, definitely felt like I got nickel-and-dimed, and the lady was very condescending. How do you go from confirming that it's from a pre-made frozen bag to saying "how would you know what's Hawaiian? Are you from Hawaii?" Just very rude, and I want to stress that I was very kind and reasonable, she just wasn't happy that I wasn't happy with $18 frozen shrimp from an "authentic Hawaiian" spot.

It's been awhile since I've ordered online and I didn't know Salata had an online order pickup area now. So I go in and sit at a nearby booth expecting the currently-empty pickup area to have my order put in it shortly. It was lunch rush, and they were hopping, so I expected a bit of a wait. After my 13 minute pickup window comes and goes, I decide to stand near the shelves looking purposeful in case I can get someone's attention. When I do so, an employee calls out asking if I have a pickup. Turns out my order had been waiting at the register end of their very long assembly line for who knows how long. How was I supposed to know? Why have an online order area if you're not going to use it? It felt like I had to a regular to know this magical info. Salata - My suggestion would be to fill in your online order shelving with something else useful and stick an "Online Pickup" ceiling sign over the registers so people know where to go. (haven't had my food yet, it's for dinner. At least they put the dressing on the side like I asked! Hoping it's yummy)

I arrived a little before my order was due, but the Andrew was very nice and friendly when he asked if I could pull around to wait. Since I was early it wasn't a problem. It's a small place and it's really grab a salad and go. Don't expect to sit around out outside. I ordered the Jalepeno ranch salad and the Chicken Caesar salad. I was impressed with the size of the salads and there's no skimping on toppings. Evelyn was nice as well and she ensured my order was correct. Jalapeño ranch: 7/10 nice portion size. Enjoyed the flavor of the chicken and the ingredients combined well together. I wish there were jalapeños in the salad and the dressing was okay. Would've preferred more of a ranch flavor. I did doctor the salad a bit by adding my own croutons and some black pepper. Can't wait to try the Caesar and other salad.

It's located in a tiny market in a very unassuming party of town - but make no mistake - nestled between barber shops and low income housing is arguably the best Thai food I've had in DFW The flavor was so deep and rich. Melt in your mouth flavor for the pork ribs and sausage. The vermicelli curry was phenomenal and the Thai papaya salad was super fresh and delicious. Spring rolls on point and the service was so friendly. Beef larb was very authentic tasting. The guy who took our order was awesome. And to top it all off? Great prices and tons of ACTUAL Asian people eating there. That's how you know it's good!

It's tucked away and attached to a small Lao grocery store, which honestly made it feel even more authentic. The moment we walked in, it felt like we were about to get a home-cooked meal. We ordered the organ soup with sticky rice, beef lahp, and nam khao, and everything was absolutely delicious. The broth in the organ soup was rich, clean, and deeply flavorful, exactly how it's supposed to taste. The sticky rice came out warm and perfectly chewy. The beef lahp was bright and herbaceous with the right amount of spice and lime, super fresh, and tasted just like what we've had in Laos/at family gatherings. And the nam khao was crispy, tangy, and packed with flavor. You can tell they don't cut corners on ingredients here. What I appreciated most is the authenticity. A lot of other reviewers mentioned that this is one of the few places in Texas where the food tastes "just like home," and I completely agree. Multiple people also mentioned the friendly staff and how the market side carries essentials and hard-to-find Lao/Thai items. We felt the same way, everyone was kind, and the grocery section is a nice bonus for anyone looking for snacks or specialty ingredients. Portions were solid, prices were fair, and the quality was amazing. This is exactly the kind of spot you hope to find when traveling. If you want real Lao food, skip the trendy places and come here instead. We will definitely be back the next time we're in Texas. Highly, highly recommend.
