    Hawaiian bbq plate & laulau
    Danica A.

    I've been here a few times, and it is a great place to get some authentic Hawaiian food. Every menu item tastes just like home. I especially love it when they have laulau & otai. If you're in need of poke, it's available on Thursdays & Fridays.

    Short Rib Plate

    Ana's Island Grill I'm born and raised in Hawaii, so I have high expectations, but also know that there's a possibility that the food won't taste 100% like home. We walked in and Fiji was playing, so I already liked the laid back vibe. People working here were friendly. The spot is small with three tables, but it seems that most people take their orders to go anyway. You can see them cooking your food, which I like and food is cooked when you order. I ordered the laulau plate. The tossed salad was fresh and crunchy w/ dressing on it. At first look, I thought the mac salad would be dry and bland, but it was good! The laulau had a lot of pork in it. I was hoping for more luau leaves and a piece of fish, but it was still delicious. My husband had the short ribs and liked the flavor of it. We also ordered a few Spam musubis for our breakfast as we drive back home and was surprised that they make it with two slices of Spam. In summary, if we lived in the DFW area, this would be our go-to spot for Hawaiian and local food.

    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.

    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

    Stephanie H.

    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

    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.

    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!

    Small, hidden island restaurant. A little humid and warm inside and limited seating inside but a couple tables to sit outside. All orders are cooked to order, our plates were served right off the griddle with rice, mac salad and simple salad with lettuce & dressing. Customer service was nice, very friendly.

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.

It tasted like it was made yesterday and was very over cooked. Either that or it was smoked salmon. I called and the person that answered just handed the phone to the manager mid sentence and she proceeded to tell me that they do not put out dry or over cooked salmon and that it was the glaze I was seeing. She said this several times. I explained that I've cooked salmon many, many times and would never serve over cooked and potentially say old salmon to a customer. Now I get why the salmon was buried under the salad greens and not sitting on top. Anyway, the manager did not handle the call very well in my opinion and seems to think that the food was likely perfect, because it's the pomegranate glaze that turns it brown. Haha. So, I've included pics so you can see it. It smells slightly fishy and is hard to the touch. The brown outside is that glaze that she thinks I was concerned with even though, I never mentioned color. I also have a video. Not sure I would go here again, or maybe I need to try another location next time. I have a video of me hitting the salmon with a fork and it sounds like I'm hitting a piece of wood. Also, Please train your managers better on how to professionally handle customer concerns.

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.
