Now I am no expert in Hawaiian food, but my brother is pretty close to one and he really loved this place. And I have to say I thought pretty highly of it myself. Don't expect any glitz and glam. This is a mom and pop kind of restaurant. Simple. But I have no problem with that. It kind of feels like you are going to one of your friends parents houses and having dinner or in our case lunch. So like I said, my brother is a pretty big fan of Hawaiian Cuisine. When I stumbled across this place on yelp I knew I had to bring him. And let me tell you, when my 15 year old brother asked the lady taking our order if they had Spam Musubi, she about fell over. "Uh.. we do.. How do you know what that is?" As that is something not typically on their regular menu. I knew we were in the right place. I am usually not a fan of Spam (Tehe.) But this was surprisingly tasty. Charred Spam, Sticky rice, wrapped in seaweed, drizzled with a sweet and salty sauce. They had a meal where you were able to chose 3 meats and 2 sides. I tried the Fried Mahi, Chicken Katsu, and the Pineapple chicken with the sides of White rice and macaroni salad. Everything was tasty but my favorites were for sure the Fried Mahi and the Macaroni salad. I think this will become a regular stop for my brother and I on our brother, sister day dates. read more

This is some of the best food I've ever had in my life. The spam musubi was transcendent. The kalua pork was tender and tastes like your Auntie made it. I will be back here. A lot. The service was great. The girls who work there are very sweet and attentive. Thank you guys!! I can't want to come back. read more

The place is greasy. When you walk in you can feel the place is full of oil. I ordered a chicken dish and while I was ordering, I saw some egg roll hanging on top of the fryer. These old egg rolls are what they gave me with my meal. The rice had a weird taste to it. read more

This place is near where I work and my co-worker wanted to grab Hawaiian food so we decided to give it a try. Food was fantastic! Very flavorful, perfect amount of spice, and very filling! Will definitely be going back! Wanted to get chicken katsu but the special sauce chicken caught my eye since I like spicy food! Was a great decision as my meal was delicious! Got a meal and drink for less then $10 so won't break the bank either! All around great, hole in the wall, restaurant! read more

In Arizona for Christmas vacation and lucky for us they were open. Not only was the food excellent, everything was immediately cooked to order and arrived super fresh. Friendly staff with a clean open kitchen. We ordered spicy vegetable ramen which was amazing, my kids really enjoyed it, super fresh veggies with a very flavorful veggie broth. My wife ordered vegetable Thai curry which was also great! Definitely give it a try!!! read more

Dropped the car off for service and saw this little place. Looked it up on *yelp as my go to ref... Teriyaki chicken and loco moco is the barometer in my book. Food was ono...large portions, good price, friendly staff. read more

The food was okay.The kalbi should've been cooked more and marinated more because it didn't have much flavor and was a bit chewy.The spam musubi was tasty, but since they barely put seaweed on it, it can't hold much sauce, and so the Saran Wrap takes the sauce away from it.Also, since there is only a little bit of seaweed, it kept falling apart as soon as I held it.Add a larger piece of seaweed and it will be much better read more

I'm from Hawai'i and ever since I moved, I've been homesick. So far the best remedy for that is Hawaiian BBQ style food. This place really hit the spot. The chicken katsu here is better than what I had in Hawai'i. The breading is light and crispy. The chicken was tender. So good!! Even the rice is the way I like. Our order came out fast and it tasted fresh. The only thing that I wasn't a fan of was the mac salad. There was nothing wrong with it, just different than what I'm used to. By accident, they forgot a spam musubi we ordered but that was my fault. They were so nice about it and I appreciated their ernest care to get it to me. I like this place, the food is good and the workers do a great job. read more

Friendly Service A co-worker and I dined at Da Valley Grill after reading so many pisitive reviews. Da Valley Grill is easy to miss in the middle of all the car shops but just look for the brightly colored sign. From the outside we were expecting the food to be similar to that of a shopping mall food court. We were happy to find out that wasn't the case. We were greeted upon arrival, asked if we had been there before, and if we had any questions. Da Valley Grill is a family run business is quite pleasant. On this visit we ordered the Chicken Katsu and Teriyaki Chicken. The chicken was cooked to order and served freseh and hot. Both entrees were served with two scoops of rice and a choice of either coleslaw, macaroni or potato salads. Our orders were brought to our table within 5 minutes. The appearance and taste can be summed up easily, fresh. Everything was tasty and the prices are wallet friendly. If your ever in the area, you should give Da Valley Grill a try. read more

Hungry for Asian food, found this on Yelp. Reviews looked great, so we gave it a try. WOW!!! Very impressed!!! Hubby ordered the Chicken Curry - yellow (hottest), I ordered #3 Shrimp, and we split the Spam Musubi. I must confess - I LOVE SPAM!!! This did NOT disappoint- it was wonderfully crisp, sitting on top of a rice block, all wrapped in seaweed with an amazing sweet/spicy sauce drizzled on it. Great way to begin!! Then our meals arrived, piping hot, with intoxicating aromas. My #3 Shrimp was tossed in a spicy red, yummy sauce, served over rice, garnished with green onion. I was in heaven!!! Hubby's Chicken Curry was scrumpdillyicous!!! Great heat level with the sweetness of coconut milk to balance it! My meal had the choice of a small salad, so I chose the macaroni cuz it was "Hawaiian" style. Never had it that way, so why not, right? It was delightful! No mayonnaise, just oil with some spices- I loved it!! Great experience, very helpful staff, the place was super clean, nothing fancy, but you felt comfortable. We will be returning!!! read more

Being from Hawaii, I'm always excited to find food inspired by the islands. We have visited Da Valley Grill three times now, and we have enjoyed each time. The location is a little hard to find. If you weren't looking for it, you would never know it existed as it's located in an industrial-looking business center. We drove past it the first time we went. On our first visit, the hubby ordered my all-time favorite plate lunch, Chicken Katsu. It was lightly pan-fried and was nice and crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. The accompanying sauce was a little different that I have been used to, as it's a little on the sweeter side. I'm used to a more smoky favor, but it was still tasty. So we could try another item on the menu, I ordered the Kalua Pig. It was flavorful, tender, juicy, and not too salty. The plates are served with two scoops of rice and one side (macaroni salad, potato salad, or coleslaw). On the second visit, the hubby again went with the Chicken Katsu, while I ordered their Kahuku Shrimp (mostly because my dad is a Kahuku High School alum, lol). The shrimp tasted fresh and the sauce had a nice, spicy kick to it. On our most recent visit, I couldn't pass up the Chicken Katsu yet again, so we both ordered it this time. While the restaurant is small, it is clean and has plenty of seating. Service has been friendly and consistent. I wish their saimin was served all day, rather than just during breakfast (7-10am weekdays, none on Saturday) as it is one of the foods I miss most from the islands. read more

Mahalo Daren C. For the awesome recommendation! Without you I would have never found this killer spot. And yes, I was sure to mention your name to the lovely owners. ;) The food was fresh & ONO. The service was personable, interior was clean and the prices were decent. Every single bite of my garlic shrimp, egg rolls, shrimp katsu & chocolate mousse pie was worth the 24 mile drive over (in traffic too). I can not wait to go back. read more

Kailua pork was awesome! Rice and slaw were a perfect compliment. Amazing how good rice can be when it is cooked just right....wish I knew the secret. Brought home a spam musubi for my son....hope to eat my own next time! Can easily miss this place! On the north side of the street in what seems like a auto industry dedicated strip mallish development. Super nice people! read more

Neighborhood Hawaiian grill and Asian fusion; something we needed on the north side of Phoenix. I came here after checking out Yelp and wanted to try something different. This is definitely your mom/pop restaurant located in the heart of an industrial area. I gather lunch time is when it's time to hit up this spot. The decor are very basic and to the point; matter fact I would say lack of decors! My first time around I shot for the Kalbi beef with rice from a recommendation by the register boy. Overall, I didn't really care for it. The beef was half tender and half chewy. The sauce and coleslaw that came along with it was a nice compliment. The second time I came around I shot for something I wanted; the Ninja Bowl with Bacon! I thought it was a pretty solid Ninja Bowl; nice fluffy soft white rice at the bottom topped with strips of chicken and a sweet sauce. The bacon was nice and crunchy giving this dish an array of texture. However, I was somewhat lost because the salty sweetness of the bacon didn't really add much flavor in my opinion. Maybe fire roasted chopped peanuts could have done the same, but without the confusing taste. - Enjoy! read more

Da Valley Grill - Ordered Loco Moco Hamburgersteak & Kalbi Short ribs. - Hawaiian Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Terrible food, rice is not even hot on the warm side. Cook wasn't wearing mask and gloves. Restroom is dirty

You know a Hawaiian place is authentic when their Spam Musubi has more flavor than just the salt from the spam. What a great local and family business that takes pride in their Hawaiian roots. The family lived in Honolulu and opened their store about 6 months ago. Besides the location and limited hours open, this place has delicious Hawaiian food that truly reminds me of the islands. Kalua pork is very tender and juicy. The flavor is all there when you take your first bite, and it keeps coming when you chew and swallow it down! The sides of potato salad, rice, and cole slaw are tasty compliments to your main entrée. I know all you local Hawaiians or Asians are asking about the mac salad? The owner told me they will soon be selling it. There perspective was most people may not like the mac, so they went safe with the potato. Although once the mac salad comes, be sure to get excited. The price is right, the interior feels like the Islands, but the location and hours are rough. They definitely are a lunch place, and only wish they were opened a little later. However, what a great place to enjoy authentic Hawaiian food. My only question is, when is the poke coming? We will see you again, Da Valley! read more

Da Valley Grill - Kalua pork = tender, juicy, and packed with flavor! - Hawaiian Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Got this for lunch the other day. We ordered the #13 Chicken Katsu plate with the macaroni and 2 scoops of rice. The portion was amazing. More than enough chicken. The macaroni was very tasty. The rice was just rice lol nothing exciting. The sauce they give you for the chicken tastes just like everyone said...A1 sauce and i really didnt love it. lol. I was wanting something else to dip my chicken into. I also got the taro bobba and was disappointed with it. It was flavorless. Not sweet and there was NO BOBBA! lol. The prices were pretty reasonable so i might give them another chance. read more

I went to Integrity Auto Repair today to have work done on my car. Eric and Brandy are great. This is the best Auto repair shop you can go to. While sitting waiting for my car I see this restaurant Da Valley Grill Hawaiian style Asian food I was hungry, the best food ever. I took it home and while I was handed my meal the woman told me to eat it hot. I did not use the A/C in the car so the food would be hot. OMG AGAIN THE BEST FOOD EVER. I will be back with my husband this Saturday. You have to try this place. I would give more than five stars if I could. read more

First time here, and am already planning what to have on my next visit. Very clean, very inviting, and very friendly. I would have never tried this place if not for Yelp. Great menu options with great prices. I chose Kahuka Stir Fried Garlic Shrimp, my Wife chose Sauteed Lemongrass Chicken, and we split an order of Chicken Katsu. Everything was well prepared, very fresh, and cooked to order. I am very impressed, and feel very lucky I found an awesome Hawaiian BBQ place so close to my house. read more

Just moved to Phoenix and have been to Da Valley Grill twice for takeout.

Food was delicious, hot and ready on time. Will be back! read more

All fried foods were undercooked and greasy. The Katsu was sort of edible, not true about the spring rolls. Sadly the rice was the best part of this meal. Both Kastu and spring roll sauces weren't very good. Coleslaw was soup. I ordered fried rice, but only got steamed. I will not be eating here again. Bop and Roll is way better, but tried this as they are closed on Sundays... read more

My family and I love this place. The food is always so delicious. There's something for all of us. My husband is vegetarian and he can always order his food with tofu instead. The service is outstanding! I've been coming here since we moved to Phoenix from California a few months ago. I'm so glad we found it! The owner is just the sweetest ever. I'm going to be a regular here. I go every week, I have to remind myself that I ate here a couple of days ago but I'm always craving it because it is just that good. I don't know why it took me so long to write this review. Love it! read more

My friend tells me I undersell this place, maybe I do when it comes to their Kalua Pork which is about as tasty and tender as it gets! Good portion and an authentic flavor EVERY time I have had it. Consistency is hard to come by these days. Small location with limited hours and parking. It's a lunch when I'm nearby option though I have a feeling I will make the trip out once in a bit. It's clean and quick. 9 tables with seating for about 25. Small TV mounted for all to see. Corner location of a small office mall area (the side of it faces the street). read more

I saw the cook literally take the kalbi and throw it in the fryer. That's just not how cooking is done. They forgot my musubi order and I went home without it. I called to tell them and they offered for me to get it next time. But after having the food, I'll take the loss. I don't plan on coming back. read more

Not much more I could ask for! Food was amazing with large portions. I had to divvy up my Thai red curry with shrimp into lunch and dinner. It was the perfect amount of spicyness and there was a generous serving of shrimp. A+. The cashier was super nice and smiley. I asked for her opinion but I went with something else haha. I will definitely be coming back to try the Laksa curry noodle with shrimp. read more

This place changed a lot since Auntie who was originally there moved back to Seattle. I wish I knew she moved before I went after the owners changed. I used to love getting their Curry Katsu platter, Loco Mocos but now it's not the same taste. I will give it another try in couple of months after the new owner gets more situated. It was a bit of chaos in the kitchen. read more

It simply wasn't good. When I was at counter I had to wait to order while the guy there hand battered something and placed it in the fryer so, I took that level of effort into that dish as a good sign. I had the kalua pork and teriyaki chicken with chicken fried rice and Mac salad. The teriyaki chicken was SUPER, SUPER salty. Same for the pork that also had balls of fat in it. The fried rice and Mac salad were either bland or the salt in the meat gave them no chance. I think it was the former though. The meal literally gave me a gut ache which rarely happens to my iron gut. I took a to-go order of pad Thai home to the wife and she said she didn't care for the flavor and that they used dark chicken meat instead of white. read more

Great little authentic Hawaiian style restaurant with a little bit of Asian fusion going on. I got the Loco Moco which was excellent. The beef patty was excellently cooked with a little bit of kalbi meat in it. the rice was nice fluffy and cooked correctly with a thick brown mushroom gravy. Comes with one egg for $7.50 or two eggs for $8. Everything else on their menu looked very good. The service was friendly and fast. Definitely will be coming back and trying some other items. read more
