    Spam masubi, egg rolls, island fried chicken, kahlua pork plate with Mac salad
    Shirley C.

    Comforting Hawaiian food at a reasonable price Portions are large Recipes are classic

    Fried chicken entree
    Emily V.

    5/5 Seating and parking: lots of spacious seating options and there's street parking and a back parking lot 3/5 Chicken long rice soup: a little disappointed it was a little bland but did have a good portion size 3/5 fried chicken entree: this was also surprisingly bland. Very good crunch but not really juicy or flavorful. 3.5/5 macaroni salad: the most seasoned item I had 3/5 cabbage salad: again mostly the low rating just because it was very bland

    This place is located in a plaza so there is plenty of parking. I love the vibes inside. It felt like beachy/Hollister type vibes. The staff was very nice and prompt. Their menu and portion sizes are massive. This is what we ordered. I ordered their poke plate. It comes with three sides usually comes with rice Mac salad or you can substitute for a Chinese chicken salad, which is what I did and a side of fries this plate was awesome, but the dressing that comes with it is a little too powerful kind of like that wasabi mustard type of dressing I'm pretty sure they have other options but next time I'll know my friend ordered one of their combo plates, which was also huge massive portions with the meat, a wonton soup and the appetizer sampler. The fried chicken that came with the appetizer sampler and the combo plate was phenomenal. It was like a cross between Filipino chicken, adobo and fried goodness and I've never had anything like it and I highly recommend it if you're looking to kill your hunger love big portions & comfort cooking This is the place for you probably one of the top tier Hawaiian places I've been to so far.

    Chinese chicken salad, fried chicken and bacon fried rice

    That bacon fried rice is still good!!! Love their crispy with a Hawaiian slight sweetness to their fried chicken. Ambiance and customer service is always on point. I didn't get the short ribs this time but they are so tender, sweet and delicious with that grilled flavor. If you are in Carson it is a must try.

    If you're craving Hawaiian food, this place honestly is even better!! Big portions, traditional flavors, freshly made, affordable prices and the whole experience minus the costs of traveling to Hawaii! I love Hawaiian bbq, we came on Saturday afternoon for lunch and service is prompt and efficient, we were seated right away. Love the vibes and Hawaiian art on the walls. The kalbi short ribs were sooo good and a big portion of more than 3 ribs! The fried chicken is tasty and unique too, kind of a sweeter taste. Overall great place for traditional fresh Hawaiian food,highly recommend!!

    I forgot to check-in but we just left there and are home now. Food hit the spot and husband who is from Hawaii praised them on the loco moco. Said it was the best one, yet, on this side of America. I had the Hawaiian fried chicken and attacked it that I had almost no room for anything else on my plate. I definitely recommend. Our server forgot to bring us our Portuguese sausage wontons but when he did, they were also delicious.

    This place was recommended to me, and I'm so glad we went one afternoon! The service was good, and everything came out in a decent amount of time. There were so many options on the menu, and I'm glad I chose the combo with the Lahaina fried chicken, Hawaiian BBQ Chicken, and Fried rice. I thought the portions were decent. I wished there was a little more BBQ chicken on the plate, but outside of that, everything tasted wonderful, and I would go again.

    Great food for over 20 years! If you love Hawaiian food, this is a must stop the next time you're in the Carson area of SoCal. I haven't been here in years because we moved out of state but whenever we do, it's always the same great food and never disappoints. Highly recommended establishment!

    To start, you need to get the coconut haupia cheesecake. I do not like cheesecake, but this was the lightest, freshest, most wonderful dessert I ordered in 2025. I ordered just the plain haupia pudding, which I was eating outside. One of the guests told me I needed to try the cheesecake, and ended up buying me a slice when he went in to order his food. I am so so thankful for that man because it was really really delicious and I will definitely be back. This place is absolutely amazing. I got a takeout plate and some desserts, but I am so eager to come back to try more of the menu. I got the combo plate with beef, kahlua pork, and chicken katsu. It came with sides of potato mac salad and this AMAZING cabbage slaw that was dressed in an asian sesame vinaigrette. Every bite was literally addicting. I highly highly recommend the takeout for lunch.

    It sure did hit the spot. The food was very good. I haven't been here in a great while but I do remember the short ribs being a little meatier. Nonetheless it was still good. The spam fried rice is a meal by itself. Hawaiian BBQ/Island cuisine at its finest here. I would day it taste like back home in Lahaina. The service was good. Our server came by often and everything came out in a timely manner. It was full but not too packed for a Sunday. I'll be going back sooner than later. The rest rooms are always clean and there's plenty of them.

    I love this place for one thing so I can't recommend anything else from the menu but the Lahaina Fried Chicken. Had it many times over the years and can't express enough how much I enjoy them aside from writing a yelp. The LFC plate comes with mac salad and Hawaiian salad. Parking can be a challenge during lunch so either go early or go later. Attached picture of menu if you just want to order to go (but it tastes better dine-in).

    Great evening of food, live Hawaiian music and Hula dancing on Friday! Absolutely the reason to go and the food is the cherry on top. Go early if you have more than two in your party. Otherwise expect a wait to be seated. I had the Kalua pork and cabbage It was delicious. Something on the menu for everyone. You can also split an entree if you're not that hungry. My party decided to share some desserts so we ordered one of each with four spoons. They were ok. I was a little bummed about that. That was minor compared to the ambiance at Back Home In Lahaina. Staff was very attentive and full of aloha!

    Shortbread cookies with chocolate chips $4
    Arrianne D.

    This was my family's first time visiting Back Home in Lahaina in Carson, and overall, it was a mixed experience. I'm not sure if we'd come back for a full meal, but there were definitely a few standout items. The absolute best part of our visit was the dessert. We tried the Haupia cheesecake and the chocolate cheesecake, and both were excellent. Creamy, flavorful, and easily the highlight of the meal. We also sampled some of their shortbread cookies with chocolate chips, which were good, but the cheesecakes are really what we'd come back for--especially the Haupia cheesecake. That's the one item we'd 100% repurchase. For the main dish, I ordered the fried chicken plate, which came with rice, mac salad, and a side salad. The fried chicken itself was very good--nicely seasoned with a subtle sweetness that worked well. Unfortunately, the sides didn't live up to the chicken. The mac salad, which is usually one of my favorites, was lacking flavor, and the salad was very simple--just cabbage tossed with sesame oil and sesame seeds. Overall, the food was hit or miss. The fried chicken and cheesecakes were solid, but the sides fell flat. If we do return, it would be strictly for dessert.

The music was good and sports were available if that's your thing Cons: It took 30 minutes to receive our appetizers and at that time I was told they could not fulfill a portion of my order, I withdrew my order of rice and bang bang sauce. After 30 more minutes most of our order came out with the exception of the garlic bread. I was told that it takes a significant amount of time to make and asked if i wanted something else instead. I felt an hour for two burritos was excessive so declined adding anything else. Moments later my bread appeared. It took a full hour and some change to receive our order which I thought was unreasonable, especially since at this point we were the only patrons. Overall: Food was alright, reasonably priced, and portions were aligned with the price. However, I would recommend ordering ahead or anticipate a long wait time. When we went we were one of two patrons but it seemed they had a fair stream of take out orders. I frequent the area but do not live nearby and nothing caught my attention enough to return.
