Combo plate with CPC and shrimp
Joseph N.

Waaah the shrimp was crazy crazy tender. Paired my combo plate with the lilikoi punch for a punch of flavor to the face to wake my sorry behind during these dog days with the heat wave. No ac, no fan, no kiosks, only good old Hawaiian food and friendly service. Delicious tender flavorful shrimp and bold spicy sauce drenched chicken made for a killer linner. Minus one point because the lilikoi punch was wayyyyy too sweet for my taste but the meal was a delight.

I found this spot randomly on apple maps but it's definitely popular! There was a lot of movement when I went, which was a Saturday noon. Service was kind and quick. I got the Bruddah Aaron loco moco with corn beef hash and fried rice. It was so yummy!! You know when the food is so good but you're so full but you can't stop eating? Yeah, that was me.

First time at the new location. Much bigger and plenty of seating inside which is nice. Spicy garlic cpc always consistent. I think the Mac salad had more black pepper in it this time which I liked. I love their poke but today they only had the spicy garlic flavor for poke (which was tasty). However, the texture on the tuna was not great at all. And usually I love it. I just chalked it up to being later in the day. Service was friendly. They noticed we were splitting food and even gave us extra utensils without having to ask

Three piece boneless spicy garlic chili peppa chicken plate
Sally T.

Long time supporter of Da Hawaiian Kitchen and I'm pleased to announce that their new location just opened a month ago! They have so much more indoor seating available compared to their old spot near Target, plus two restrooms as well. I ordered my usual, which was a three piece boneless spicy garlic chili peppa chicken (CPC) plate and their generous kitchen was so kind to hook me up. I love coming here because their staff is always so friendly and the food is incredible. Their Mac salad is out of this world and their steamed rice is oh so fluffy. If I remember correctly, I think they might also have a garlic shrimp offering as well that was equally yummy, but it's been a minute, so you'll have to double check with the staff directly. Parking lot is shared in a small strip lot, so it might be tough, but it's worth the drive and wait. You can call your order in or place it online. Prices are fair for the portion and quality, and I recommend this place to everyone that visits Orange County. I'm not even a fried chicken person, but will enjoy a plate of the Hawaiian fried chicken every time I'm in the area to visit my grandpa. Long live Da Hawaiian Kitchen and their family's recipes! :-)

Grand Opening!!!!! Aloha! Uncle Bobby and crew were in parking lot serving Huli Huli chicken plates! The food is always delicious. Live music, great ohana. Mahalo Nui Loa!

Pink and red hamburger patties tasted different
Robert F.

Today I tried this restaurant for the first time. The restaurant is clean and the staff very friendly. For lunch I had the Loco Moco with an over easy egg on it. As I was reading my emails and eating I noticed one of the hamburger patties tasted different. Kinda chewy, kinda off tasting. As I was looking at them, I noticed a lot of pink and red meat. Possibly not cooked all the way through. Overall it was ok, but I don't think I'll return. Apparently theres other reviews regarding undercooked food just an FYI. The gravy was decent also.

Signature Chili Peppa Chicken (CPC)  Tasty, but don't be impressed with chicken thighs...NOTE: $2.75 upcharge to get 2 mac instead.
Julie N.

Trust me, I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to like you, especially now since you've recently moved to my side of HB. Welcome. .... I felt a bit sad and guilty writing this review, but hey.. HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY and just noticed you have 103, 1-2 star ratings on Yelp. WTH? Aren't you reading these?? I've tried you a few times at the former location, but somehow never wrote a review. Shocking because I've been an elite for 12 years and not only do I write reviews to keep track of myself, but also if there is something negative, the establishment may take it as constructive criticism and learn from the reviews. With that said, maybe now, after reading this...you'll understand why my rating isn't higher... You did really well on the second day of your opening. There were plenty of employees, everyone was friendly and the food came out quickly. However, unfortunately, the food was as I remembered. NOT ALL THAT.... and SUPER EXPENSIVE for what you get! OK, let's break that down... Your signature Chili Peppa Chicken is great! (especially if you eat skin cuz that's where all the flavor is) ... but I'm not impressed that you charge SO MUCH for 2 chicken thighs. ONLY EVERYONE knows that chicken is VERY reasonable, and next to drumsticks... thighs are also relatively inexpensive, especially when you buy in bulk. Even more disappointed with the Garlic Shrimp Plate. If you're trying to mimic Giovanni's, please do more research. I've been making this for years and found a GREAT recipe. ALSO, just realized it says 9 pieces, I only got 6. (note photo) For $21. Seriously? This is a fast-food take out, not a 5-star restaurant and they'd use JUMBO shrimp for this price! The straw that broke the camel's back was this..... I bought two plates, so I was hoping to get a little more mac salad instead of FOUR scoops of rice total. I asked if I could swap out one scoop for mac salad instead. She told me that was NP, but it would be $2.75 additional charge. The last time I looked, pasta was close to the same price as rice, so should there really be an upcharge for this? Also, did not see any potatoes in this "mac pot salad", just mayo and pepper. SUPER basic. NOTE from previous visits: I just wasn't impressed on my two former visits because (1) your prices are overly expensive for what you get and (2) I ordered poke once, not realizing it was close to your (early) closing, but the gal scraped the bottom of the container to get me an order, not offering a smaller size or price. I get it, she's only a worker, but if you, the owner informs her that when it gets to where you don't have enough for an order, you could offer it at half price, or something.... Sure, do what you want AND it's YOUR restaurant, not mine, but compared to comparable fast food restaurants, like yourselves, I'd do some PRICE (and QUALITY) COMPARISONS if I were you. Loft - - Expensive also, but the give you TONS of food for the price. My husband and I EASILY share one meal for ~$20 L&L - - Mix plate is great. Quality is ok. Price is on point. Mama Hieu's - Chicken AND Shrimp plates are QUALITY! The chicken wings and Garlic Shrimp ARE both JUMBO! BB.Q Chicken (Korean) - Whole chicken is cut into more than 8 pcs and the way they cut it, you could easily feed a family of 4 with one whole chicken. Various flavors. Delicious! Huckleberry's - HEALTHIER version of "fried" chicken... 10 extra points for being BROASTED (always fresh, cooked to order) and DELICIOUS!! Price comparison: 8 wings, approx $30 however, please NOTE that 1 wing here has 2 edible parts: Drum & Flat is counted as ONE, so, I guess you could count that as 16 pcs for $30 KFC - - Weekly Tuesday specials. 8 pc dark only with 2 large sides & 4 biscuits $20

To go half size portion of loco moco
Mary Ann C.

Clean establishment, simple decor, friendly staff. Portions are good, food definitely tastes home cooked. Sauces are delish. Not overly sweet like a lot of Hawaiian chain restaurants. Teriyaki chicken was tender, and clean. No weird bits. Patties on loco moco were juicy, bacon fried rice was packed full of flavor and had a real nice Smokey, char seasoning. Highly recommend.

Poke and Kalua pork.
Brendan V.

I love this place. If you order 1 thing get the Chili Pepper Chicken. A unique blend if spices and sweetness. Crunch and crispy is freaken fantastic. Let me put on though they got that real hawaiian poke. The spicy garlic tuna is so good. The DHK bowl has both kalua pork and poke it is divine. Then there lemonade is so refreshing. The onlu downside is the lack is lack of seating. If they end up with a sit down place it would be game over. Overall the service and energy of the staff is great.

Austin W.

Majors me feel like I'm back on da aina!! The loco moco can't be beat. The gravy tastes so good and the beef patty was cooked perfectly. Especially if to combo a bite with their mac salad. Literally perfection! Great work!!

Joel S.

This place just recently moved to a different location, still in Huntington Beach. Been coming here on occasion with my family for years, it's a family favorite! Delicious Hawaiian BBQ and for this visit, got me the combo plate lunch with teriyaki chicken and garlic shrimp. Sooo good! Their teriyaki chicken is grilled just right and not dry. Garlic shrimp is also a must! Service also on point snd food comes out quick. Bigger dinning room with more seating from their old location which is a bit further from where we live (in Ontario!) but worth the drive! I also recommend their loco moco and mac salad as well. Highly recommend this place if your looking for a good authentic Hawaiian food spot!

Chili peppa fried chicken thigh
Long H.

Finally got to the new location, I phoned order for a 3 pc CPV combo and was told order would be ready in about 20-25 minutes. I made my way there, parking lot is really small and limited, the restaurant itself is big, way bigger than the old location. For saturday around 130pm, place was slam packed. I waited another 10 minutes before they called my ordr. The 3pc CPC still tasted bomb, super crispy and flavorful. Im glad they moved into this bigger location and closer to my house as well.

Combo plate with kalua pork and kalbi ribs
Shadia N.

The flavors were so good!! I really enjoyed both plates. I would definitely recommend trying a little bit of everything. It's usually 50/50 on whether the pork will be dry at a place or not, but it was easy to eat!! It can be a little bit of a wait when it's busy so just keep in mind! The place was small but had plenty of seating.

I took my bride here for our anniversary last night and it was wonderful. Located next to the…read moreBungalow in Pacific City, it was our first visit here. Easy to park in their lot and it was free with validation. Six or so tables along the glass on the patio, and another 4-6 in the dining room, make this a wonderful pace for dinner, apps or drinks while watching a sunset. Mia at the front desk made sure we had a great seat. Phil was our waiter and he took great care of us all evening. A delicious paloma martini got us started and we loved the spicy tuna tartare tacos. The short ribs with pineapple cheesy risotto was yummy and my wife loved the salmon and mashed potatoes. Huge portions and the price was not crazy. Pretty quiet on the patio aside from a few loud motorcycles along PCH. The dining room was a bit louder with the piped in music but too loud in there. We will definitely be back. Solid dinner house with great ocean views.

I'm really disappointed to have to update my review after our latest experience at The Brant…read more Unfortunately, the lack of hospitality we experienced this time was incredibly disappointing from the moment we arrived. We brought my stepdad, who was in a wheelchair, and when we entered, there were two young women working at the front. Despite clearly seeing us trying to navigate the entrance with his wheelchair, neither offered to help with the door. We literally had to ask them to assist us. Something as simple as holding the door for a guest in a wheelchair should be basic hospitality and common courtesy. Unfortunately, the experience did not improve once we sat down at the bar. Our bartender, Viviana/Vidiana, essentially ignored us. My stepdad ordered a glass of Chardonnay, and she clearly heard his order. Rather than acknowledging him or getting his drink, she continued talking to another couple at the bar about how she couldn't wait to be off work. She then walked away, said something quietly to the bartender coming on shift about my stepdad wanting a Chardonnay, grabbed her purse, and left. There was no "Someone else will be taking care of you," no acknowledgment of his order, no goodbye -- nothing. It honestly came across as incredibly rude and dismissive. What bothered me most wasn't having to wait for a glass of wine; it was the complete lack of warmth, attentiveness, and basic hospitality throughout the experience. When you are bringing a family member who uses a wheelchair somewhere, you already have additional things to navigate. Having staff make you feel like an inconvenience rather than welcomed guests makes the experience that much worse. We have enjoyed The Brant before, which is why this visit was especially disappointing. Hospitality is about making people feel welcome and cared for, and unfortunately, that was completely missing during our latest visit.

The wings were sweet and spicy with a subtle ginger undertone and SO yummy. I also tried the michelada and chimichanga. The michelada was just okay for me, but the chimichanga was crisp and packed with flavor. I loved all the fresh toppings that came with it, gave it a nice, refreshed taste that balanced everything out. I also ordered the chicken taco paired with buttered peas from the kids' menu for my son. He wasn't a fan of the lettuce that came with it , but I actually appreciated that it came with veggies. He loved the peas. Service was also great. I'll definitely continue coming back. I also love the location being right in the shopping center.
