    All I have to say is YUM!! Really great vibes here , you'll find a welcoming staff and the sweetest Owner. I was easily able to request a completely vegan bowl without any fuss. They carry tofu and my bowl was delicious ! I will be a repeat customer for sure .

    Awesome place, great poke! Very kids friendly, they have games. Nice staff too! Low key, not a fancy place, but casual and earthy.

Plenty of open parking, clean restaurant with clean bathrooms. It's also located across from a Bass Pro Shops...would have loved to walk through if I had more time. Chicken Katsu Box ($12, 9/10) - HUGE PORTION SIZES!!! Living up to true Hawaiian food standards, they give basically 2 large pieces of katsu stacked on each other - Chicken is SOOO TENDER. I've had quite a bit of katsu, and restaurants are always crispy exteriors + dry chicken. However, with each bite of Kahu's katsu, man were they crispy on the outside yet super juicy chicken. Definitely one of the best katsu i've had haha - Katsu sauce on the side self-serve, is very easy to access and also super clean. They also offer the usual bbq chicken sauce. Flavors are basically the same at any ono hawaiian bbq Sides: Mac Salad + bed of cabbage are great, pretty standard Overall, amazing portion sizes with great prices, with super juicy katsu that's probably some of the best I've had. Would come again!

    Out of the Hawai'ian restaurants in Tucson, this is by far my favorite and the taste and flavors…read moreremind me the most of when I lived in Oahu. This was our first time here and we had an excellent lunch on a Friday afternoon. It started with an employee, Savannah who greeted us when we came inside with a warm welcome and discussed at length of every product they had. It seemed like she spoke in detail about everything for over 10 minutes. It was surprising to me that we had superior service at an establishment that I would consider fast casual than many of the finer dining options in Tucson and the surrounding areas. I do not know how much Savannah earns, but her professionalism would make one think she is the owner (she is not as I asked), but she is well deserving of a raise! Customers have the option of ordering everything on a touchscreen (kiosk). We ordered the Big - Mixed Molokai Luau Pork, Rice, and Mac plate; the luau Pork, Rice, and Mac plate; and the Molokai Mac Wrap Honolulu with pineapple. Everything was flavorful and the place was extremely clean including their restrooms. They have a solid business going based on my observation as there is a hospital close by. I highly recommend giving them a try!

    I first visited Hawaiian Bros during their grand opening week back in 2024 and had a few critiques…read moreabout the flavors. Since they had just opened, I understood they were likely still working through feedback and making adjustments. I like to try everything at least twice before I form my thoughts about it.. I understand off days happen so I recently decided to revisit Hawaiian Bros. On my first visit, I dined in and found the interior bright, clean and well kept. For my recent visit, I ordered takeout on the app and picked it up at the drive thru. We ordered two Mixed Plate Classics ($12.99 each), which come with white rice, macaroni salad, and your choice of meats. One plate included Huli Huli Chicken (Teriyaki) and Luau Pork, while the other came with Huli Huli Chicken and Honolulu Chicken (garlicky sauce w/ green onions). They also included teriyaki sauce and pineapple BBQ sauce on the side. I hate to leave a critical review but I still have some critiques about the flavors. The macaroni salad tasted very bland and was a bit disappointing. The Luau Pork was overly salted.. and the Huli Huli & Honolulu Chicken were just okay. They didn't particularly stand out. I also felt that the portions were smaller than what I've received at other Hawaiian BBQ restaurants, especially considering the price. That said, the service was very friendly and fast, and they're one of the few restaurants open late, which makes them a convenient option. For the quality, portion sizes and price, I'd probably opt for other Hawaiian BBQ restaurants in town. Visited 5/11/26

The portions are amazing and will last me for more than one meal every time. Although I just found out about the new mini sizes which are great for smaller budgets and smaller stomachs if you're not looking to have leftovers. All of the options are so great, it can be hard to choose. But you can't go wrong with any of them. I haven't tried the pita items yet because I just can't break away from the poke bowls! I usually get my meals to go so I can't comment on the experience of dining in. I will say that just last week when I was there ordering a mini bowl to go, I was really appreciative of the staff who were happy to answer all of my questions about the different options for those, since I was used to just ordering bigger bowls with toppings that I chose. The main gate location is centrally located and convenient even if you're just in the area for an event.

    Okay... I'm officially obsessed with Jimmy's Pita & Poke…read more This was my second time back, and honestly? Zero guilt eating here it's fresh, filling, and somehow still feels like a "good decision" meal. And let's talk portions... these bowls are massive. Easily shareable if you're trying to be budget-conscious, but fair warning, you probably won't want to share. This time we ordered the Jimmy's Bowl, we skipped the pineapple, but everything else? Incredible. The spicy salmon and tuna were insanely fresh, the kind where you can actually taste the quality. It just melts in your mouth. Every layer adds something: crisp cucumber, jalapeños, green onions, crispy onions, chili, avocado... it's like a perfectly built flavor stack. I also got the Munson gyro with greens (I went with romaine) and extra tzatziki and wow. Between the feta, the freshness, and that sauce, it hit every note. Pro tip: order an extra pita. I did, and turned it into two meals without even trying. Don't sleep on this spot!
