    Today I dined in, and everything hit the spot! I started with the chicken katsu musubi: crunchy, flavorful, and downright delicious. Then came my main dish from the saimin menu, a type of Hawaiian-style ramen made with egg noodles, baby bok choy, fish cake (that looks like a slice of radish), scallions, and a bouillon base. I chose the BBQ beef saimin, and it was absolutely exquisite. The waitress brought everything out on a tray, and the service was just as satisfying as the food itself.

    BBQ Short Ribs Mini-Set
    Pamela L.

    Having driven by this place a thousand times, I thought I give this place a try for lunch today. One foodie item I was kicking myself for not trying when I was in Honolulu was their popular local dish, the Loco Moco. I saw a mini set available on the menu for $9.99 and this is a perfect portion for me to try this dish. Loco Moco - a beef patty over white rice topped with gravy and a sunny-side-up egg on top. I know the dark brown sauce is made with beef stock, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and ketchup. I usually go crazy for sauce over rice but this was just not my thing. I rather have a one of those Salisbury Steak frozen entrees. The set also came with a side of macaroni and it was weird that it was salty. My friend got the Short Ribs mini set and it was hella heavy on the sodium as well. To be fair this place had lots of patrons coming and going with takeout orders. I'm the exception, I was not loco for this moco, it wasn't ono licious for me.

    Salmon Teriyaki
    Danny D.

    Hawaii Station in Edison has really stepped it up lately. They recently expanded their menu, and I decided to try the salmon teriyaki with rice and macaroni. The portion was solid, the fish was cooked nicely, and the teriyaki sauce had just the right amount of sweetness. You can tell they've been putting more effort into their food lately. Overall, a nice spot for a quick and satisfying meal definitely worth checking out if you haven't been in a while.

    BBQ Mix Combo and spring rolls
    Daniel Y.

    This was quite the pleasant surprise when this restaurant kept popping up in my restaurant searches when I was working in this area. I was able to catch lunch here in our last day in the area. And it was on the way to the airport and my teammate has never had Hawaiian bbq before. So it was on! I order a couple of spring rolls and some goyza dumplings for apps I order 2 grilled meats combos. It was bbq chicken, beef and kalbi ribs on top some slaw and white rice and Mac salad. My teammate asked me what he was eating and stated that what ever it was " it's f ing good" This is an every small restaurant and I would have given them another star if the meats actually had some charred marks from the flame grill. It almost seems like they cooked it on a grill top.

    Great Hawaiian food spot in Edison! The options were expansive and the food was hearty. The sauce and soup was a little salty after a while but good thing the rice and mac salad balanced it all out. The bbq mix grill and chicken saimin were great and delicious. It's a popular spot so was glad to snag a seat after getting our food.

    Chicken katsu, bbq chicken with rice and hawaiian mac salad
    Karen K.

    First hawaiian restaurant around. Staff are very friendly and service is quick. The chicken katsu was my favorite so far. Very crispy and flavorful! The mac salad was creamy and pasta was cooked just right. The Loco moco sauce was a bit salty for my taste bit overall, a great pairing with the eggs and hamburger patty. Not much of a fan of spam masubi but figured I'd give it a try. Nothing special about the ones here! I am definately returning to try their poke. Everything looked fresh and portion size looks promising.

    Hawaii Classic Bowl

    This review is based on takeout. I called to place an order and the order was ready in 10 minutes. It's a small spot with a few tables inside if you prefer to dine in. We got the poke bowl and the combo BBQ. The poke bowl had a few pieces of fish that were slightly fishy but overall it was really good. The combo BBQ the beef options were insanely flavorful, the chicken was a little dry for us but we'll definitely come back for the beef. Overall a great spot and will definitely be back. Also, get the card stamped and you get your 11th bowl free after getting 10 stamps :)

    Spam Musubi
    Lisa Z.

    My partner and I arrived around 11am on a Saturday and I'm surprised we were the only ones there. I love fast casual spots and this is definitely high on my list. Food came out pretty fast 10-15 minutes and the workers were kind and courteous. Spam musubi was amazing and the chicken katsu was one of the best fried chickens I've ever had. I do think the BBQ chicken was a bit lackluster I'll need to try the kalula pork next time. Orders over $35 also get a free furikake chicken dish and that was great as well. All of the chicken was cooked perfectly, not dry at all. It's worth the price, it's enough for 2-3 meals. I would return and recommend!

    Hawaii is one of my favorite spots in the world that I'd go back to in a heartbeat. I've been dreaming of Hawaiian food and sun, so when I heard about Hawaii Station coming to Edison, it was a no brainer for me to come and try it. I love the 'hawaiian' vibe of the restaurant, from the paintings, the decor and the Hawaiian Sun tropical fruit juice drinks that they serve. This restaurant is located in a strip mall so parking isn't an issue. The portions are HUGE. I opted for the bbq short ribs and chicken katsu combo which comes with two scoops of rice and macaroni salad. Could easily split with another person if you wanted. The short ribs were a bit dry and tough to eat given the loads of cartilage so I don't know if I would be itching to get this again. However, the katsu was delicious and came with a side of katsu sauce. They also have several low and high top tables you can enjoy your meal there. Also I wish they would invest in stronger utensils. I doubt I have the grip of hulk, but the tips of the fork would bend really easily to the point they snapped and we had to ask for a replacement. They also have a loyalty stamp card where you can eat your way to a free entree (after 10 stamps). Overall, would recommend giving it a try!

    Yum! Was in town for work and decided to try Hawaii station. Got the mix meat combo, comes with rice and Mac salad. Really delicious! Def recommend visiting this spot!

    Spam Musubi
    Ingrid C.

    If you've ever been to Hawaii, then you definitely know that Kalua pork is a must get on the island - and now a must have at Hawaii Station! This small shop located off Route 1 has all your Hawaiian-esque food needs. Even if you dine-in, once you order at the counter, you'll get disposable utensils. There are also mini meals (which is what I got), and the portions were HUGE. I still took some for home. The sides include macaroni salad and rice. I believe they also have a buy 10 get 1 free promotion currently running. -Spam musubi: 5/5, what you would expect from a classic musubi- salty and savory spam on a bed of rice -Kalua pork: 5/5, smoky, juiccyyy soft and tender pork paired with crunchy cabbage -Lilikoi Lychee drink: 5/5, sweet and tangy lychee drink, very refreshing A good place to stop by especially if you're hankering for island food aloha, thanks for reading

    This place is always packed with takeout orders, but its a great dine-in dinner or lunch option as well! Just note that regardless of dining in or taking out, you will get plastic utensils and takeout food containers, but there is seating available for you. The MUST HAVE here is the Kalua Pork, it is sooooo succulent, with a perfect smokey flavor, and the saltiness is perfectly counter-balanced with the white rice. The cold mac salad on the side really helps balance out any sort of greasy feeling too. The Kalua pork also has cabbage, which adds on a sweet note. This is definitely the best dish here and no matter who I come with, I will be getting this! My favorite thing here is that if you aren't feeling too hungry, they offer mini meals, which is a smaller portion of their regular entrees. This is perfect if you don't have a large appetite and don't want leftovers. This time we also got the BBQ mix combo, and while the BBQ chicken and beef were juicy and delicious, the short rib was a bit tougher than one would hope. Overall, this is a very casual place, perfect for a short stop if you are driving along Rt 1. I definitely highly recommend this place!

Ambiance was pretty modern with the design of the booths and the decor. There was a side dish station as well that had a decent amount of variety to grab and go. Our waiter was relatively attentive and while the water was slow to refill, we overall had a solid experience. Thanks, Gen!

    K-BBQ always a yes for me!!…read more We came here for Thanksgiving and it was cool since no dishes needed to be cleaned, no groceries, no cooking, no prepping... sometimes you just need to take a break. It wasn't crowded at all when we came at 1pm. We had a party of 6 and the booth fit us comfortably. On a holiday, each person was $31.95. If you wanted to upgrade to the premium which had the waygu and more it was an additional $20 and that means each person would need to pay the same price so we opted out of the premium and it was a great choice since everything was delicious. So you get to select 4 meats at a time and then your sides. And of course the complimentary items like Kimchi, Radish, their own style of Mashed Potaotes. My favorites: - Pork belly (all different flavors) - for the plain pork belly dip it in the sesame sauce and salt so yum - Bulgogi - Shrimp with the heads Sides: - Japchae - Corn Cheese - make sure to heat it up on the grill before eating - don't make my mistake lol - I love steamed egg and they didn't have it so that's why they didn't get 5 stars from me - Of course white rice Dessert was the Hotteok - really good! Note: You cook your meats (not like Cast Iron which I prefer who cook it for you) and each time our 4 meats are done they would give us a new pan to grill. Be careful with the carbs... you easily can get full. Enjoy your meal ours was yummy and hit the spot.

We were greeted when we walked in by the young man behind the counter as we were getting the young ones settled. It was a simple vibe inside with long bench seats and huge tables. Ordering was easy, we got the boss family combo and a half pound of the pastrami (my favorite). The food was out quick, the service was great and they checked on us multiple times to make sure everything was good. The food was great, not too Smokey (like liquid smoke), and the different BBQ side options were excellent. The Mac n Cheese was some of the best I've ever had out. My kids enjoyed the meat and sides alike. I would recommend this to anyone who wants high quality BBQ right here in NJ.

The seafood is extremely fresh, the broths are rich and flavorful, and the selection of small dishes is huge. There are tons of options for sides, appetizers, and even BBQ items before the meal. The dessert selection is also impressive. One thing I hope they can improve is the ice jelly (冰粉). The current red version tastes a bit like Jell-O, which feels a little off compared to authentic Chongqing ice jelly -- would love to see a more traditional texture and flavor in the future. My personal must-haves here are the lobster, crayfish, beef tripe, and pork aorta (黄喉) -- always fresh, always delicious. Overall, amazing quality, super fresh seafood, and great variety.

There is such a large selection of seafood to choose from, for the price of $63.99 per person, it is not bad especially considering how much seafood and meat costs. Ordering is easy as each table has their own tablet to place orders but my only gripe was that staff need to enter a code before you can submit to the kitchen. Drinks are self service and you can get as many as you like, from sodas, water, soy milk, green tea. There is also a sauce bar that is kept very clean. Decor is amazing as staff informed me that the paintings on the walls were hand painted by an artist from China. For every 2 people, you get an option of a lobster or another type of seafood. Seafood options range from mussels to class and even razor clams. Plenty of meat and veggie options as well. Although this is supposed to be a hotpot and bbq restaurant, hotpot is the only thing available as the restaurant does not have the proper ventilation installed for the bbq grills, although the grills are right next to the hotpot. That's unfortunate as I was looking forward to grilling some of the seafood. For dessert, they had durian which I tried for the first time. It was super creamy and sweet! I've been missing out this whole time! Overall, our entire experience was great and I would definitely return.
