They were doing a gift card special on their website. Pay $60 for a $70 gift card. I figured I would get one bc I was planning to grab food for the family. One thing to note is that gift cards can NOT be used toward any of the catering menu items. So my plan did not work out too well. I ended up getting a few family meals with the gift card, but then spent more for catering since I had about 15 ppl to feed. I worked with Alice on the phone and when I went to pick up she was there to greet and assist. I had set a pick up date and time (about 5-6 days out). I Called the day before to adjust the time and good thing I did bc the date was incorrect on paper. I asked to pick up a couple hours later and she adjusted and apologized about writing the wrong date. When it came pick up time - I ended up having an emergency and had to call to let them know I was running about an hour late. Alice said they can hold no problem. She helped me carry to my car when I arrived - nice that they have a couple 5 min pick up parking spots right in front! read more

My husband just had an outpatient surgery at an area hospital, and in the recovery room the bland food would not do! Since he had no dietary restrictions, I decided to grab him something close by and this place was a perfect option! I ordered at the counter from very friendly staff who brought the food out and packaged hot within minutes! Faster than most popular chain drive thrus! It's pretty much set up as a carry out, yet there are a couple tables and chairs than seem to function more for waiting than for dining in. (Read: not for date night to impress!) I ordered the chicken and beef combo for under $20 with tax -- which was like a mountain of tender and well seasoned meat with a flavorful cooked vegetable medley and macaroni salad as sides. I really appreciated that the sides were substantial, and not used as filler in exchange for less protein. Hubby loved it and he was the envy of the nurses station, as the aroma of good homestyle food is hard to ignore! And I was so very thankful able to give my husband a great tasting and satisfying meal for his recovery and at a very reasonable price! Pro tip: For moderate eaters, two people can share one order and be quite satisfied! In the case of hubby, it lasted him for two meals and I could spend more time caring for him :) Thank you Hawaiian BBQ express! read more

Great little spot for Hawaiian food with decent prices. They're closed on Tuesday, but it's no biggie. Decent service and very prompt.

The food was very ono. Every dish came in generous Hawaiian portions with plenty of sauce and a lot of rice. The vegetables were cooked but still crisp, and the meat was made with really good cuts. The rice was cooked perfectly too. Mahalo on the amazing spam musabi! Great experience all around. read more

I had been craving some Hawaiian barbecue, macaroni salad in particular. I stopped by Hawaiian BBQ Express for dinner (with plenty left over to take for work tomorrow!). I ordered my food to go: #1 combo-Hawaiian BBQ chicken, steamed rice, macaroni salad and steamed veggies. I ordered sides: macaroni salad, steamed veggies. I appreciate the friendly service. My food was brought to me once ready to go. The inside decor of the restaurant was bright and cherry. It was decorated with bright orange paint, surfboard and Hawaiian knick knacks. There's also photos of their drinks. The restaurant is small in size, but, still room for tables if you wish to dine inside. The food did not disappoint! The Hawaiian BBQ chicken was tender and full of flavor. The rice was not at all sticky. The macaroni salad was so good! The steamed veggies, could have been steamed a bit longer. But, overall I was able to eat them. This was a meal definitely well made and well spent! Can't wait to eat more for lunch tomorrow! Thank you Hawaiian BBQ Express! I will come visit again sometime! :) read more

This is my go to Hawaiian spot in Vacaville. While this might sound weird, Both their catering and plates are delicious! I love the white fish, lau lau and their chicken katsu. As a bonus, service is always polite and prompt! read more

The food is always great, they ask if you are military (I don't usually ask for a discount) and the staff is always super courteous.

Tried Hawaiian BBQ Express over the weekend, my first time. I ordered online- quick tip from the cashier- order from the website, or call in the order. It's cheaper Now to the food- I ordered their BBQ combo, chicken and beef, Hubby ordered their Hawaiian BBQ Platter- both were good- the Mac was delicious! We also ordered their Spam Musubi- also delicious! The parking is limited, dine in was not really an option, but the food was prepared fast and fresh. Will be back! read more

Hawaiian BBQ Express is an excellent choice to fill up on some delicious Hawaiian themed rice plates. We ordered via GrubHub for delivery 3 classic favorites. Plates are pretty standard; flavors are mild, esp on the veggies so keep the shoyu close by in case you need a dab or two. We have ordered in-person before and have always received friendly service! It's a small, quick order at the counter and eat at the table type. Easy, convenient, and it is fast food. We always enjoy meals here, portions are large, expect left overs...it's nice they have a delivery options. Mahalo HBE! read more

So freaking tasty. Generous portions too! The food was made fresh. I really like the tonkatsu & curry sauces, but I didn't love the teriyaki sauce. Staff was warm and friendly but not intrusive. Will definitely be back to try more of the dishes. read more

I really enjoyed the garlic shrimp. There was some kind of breading on the shrimps and cooked with a good amount of chopped garlic and onions. The steamed vegetables underneath were a good pair. My boyfriend got the curry chicken katsu, which he liked but we were surprised that the curry tasted a lot like Thai curry. In comparison to L&L, the macaroni salad and spam musubi were ok. The rice in the spam musubi was a little mushy and the sauce was kind of lacking in flavor. I'd still come back here to try other things since they have a lot of different food options. read more

Stopped by for dinner last week because Hawaiian food sounded good and the pictures looked delicious. Big mistake.... The food made me sick instantly.... Like right after eating not even half of it. I am not sure if it's the Mayo in the macaroni salad, maybe that had gone bad or the meat but I did not touch the rest of it and had to throw it away. read more

Best Hawaiian barbecue in town! Love the teriyaki chicken and grilled shrimp. Large portions and always fast.

Hawaiian BBQ Express has quickly become one of my favorite spots! Every time I go, I'm blown away by the quality and quantity of food they serve. My absolute favorite dish is the chicken katsu. The chicken is always perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with just the right amount of breading. And the gravy? I could honestly eat it by itself--it's that good! Rich, flavorful, and the perfect complement to the katsu, it takes the whole dish to another level. Not only is the food incredible, but the portion sizes are amazing. You get a generous serving for the price, which makes it a fantastic value. I always leave satisfied and with leftovers for later, which feels like a bonus. Hawaiian BBQ Express knows how to deliver great food and great value, and I can't wait to come back! read more

I really loved this place and would come here regularly but the last 3 visits the chicken katsu seemed like it was pre-cooked and when I picked my food up it was cold. I order when I'm 5 mins away so it wasn't me being late, the food was definitely pre-cooked and not warm when I opened the To-go container in the car. read more

Killer food here. Got more than I paid for and it really hit the spot. Try the combo plates with the macaroni salad, you won't regret it. They were polite and quick with my Togo order. read more

Highly recommend Hawaiian Bbq express is so tasty. The food is worth every penny, super filling and fair portions. The lumpia is just perfectly crispy. 10/10 Garlic shrimp 10/10 Bbq chicken& beef 10/10 everything here is so good it will have you returning. read more

Have had food from here 2 times. First time my brother wanted Hawaiian BBQ but his favorite place didn't offer mac salad. So he caved in and ordered from here. Portions are HUGE. Place is kept clean and staff was okay. Not overly friendly but not rude. The food itself is good but not the best I've had. Only reason I didn't give that extra star. I will say this is probably the best one within a 15-20 min drive for me. read more

Good, local Hawaiian food located in the Elmira Rd-AllisonRd strip mall next to the cemetery. The best deal there to feel a family is their family meal ($48.99 pre -tax) which comes with 3 meats (certain meats costs an extra $4-6), steamed veggies beneath the meats, macaroni salad and steamed rice (brown rice is +$3). There is no major seating inside, so you mainly have to get takeout. Serve was once very good when they first opened, but unfortunately like many restaurants, service has dropped (still decent, just not great). Their food had good flavors and the BBQ meats are not overcooked and overly dry like at L&L. If you are in the mood for good Hawaiian food come check it out. read more

Food and service are really good here. I prefer it over other restaurants that serve similar food. Parking lot for this business is kinda narrow and is usually pretty full because it shares the lot with Burger City which is really good too. read more

I was more interested in checking out the Vietnamese place that was next door but there were too many loud people in there and I find loud people to be intolerable. Hawaiian BBQ Express was much quieter and more lowkey, which was a massive plus in its favor. Customer service was a fantastic - the cashier lady that took my order was very nice and a joy to speak with. She also gave me extra gravy, which no other Hawaiian bbq place has ever offered me before. It's never necessary but it's always a nice welcome change. As for food, I ordered spam musubi and a loco moco. Spam musubi is spam musubi. I generally don't have anything bad to say about it. The loco moco wasn't the best I've ever had. It was okay. The burger patties were a little tougher than most I've eaten and the eggs were cooked overhard. The latter isn't necessarily a bad thing but every other loco moco I've had has their eggs cooked so that there's still runny yolk which is how I prefer them in loco mocos. That's by no means a dealbreaker but if you want your eggs cooked a certain way, you'll want to tell them when you order instead of assume like I did. Overall, this was a nice experience. Vacaville is quite out of the way from where I live so I likely won't go out of my way to eat here again but if I'm in the area, I wouldn't be against returning based on my experience. read more

Our family loves this spot. Whenever we drive through Vacaville we hit up Hawaiian BBQ Express. My daughter gets spam masubi. I get salmon bowl. My son gets chicken katsu. Satisfying, tasty and reasonably priced. read more

Hands down my favorite place to eat in Vacaville (and there aren't many). Great service, every time! Macaroni salad is always a must and we go with the chicken and beef plate. Other Hawaiian bbq places give you beef with hella nerves and fat in it (looking at you L&L bbq) - not here!!! Quick service, great food and always clean on the inside. Loyal customer here! read more

Legit Hawaiian Food in Vacaville. Ordered togo. Prices- very reasonable Low carb options! Ordered kalua + chicken katsu - huge amoun5 of food for $12.99 included huge scoops of Mac salad and rice. * katsu was yummy not dry and not oily * kalua pork had that yummy smoked flavor moist and yummy Bbq chicken salad was huge and chicken was perfectly charred, light bbq flavor, chicken was moist. The seasame miso like salad dressing went really well. Service was prompt. Clean establishment. Coming back to try their other food including malasadas and masubi. I heard a conversation with a regular and visitors that he has gotten them to custom his order..lol he I guess gives them his own container to use. I was eyeing it looked like a yummy version of saimen (noodles and bbq). Thanks fellow yelpers!!! On point here! read more

Ordered: seafood platter BBQ mix Great portions, hot/fresh, well-seasoned Service was great. We came when it was 10 minutes until closing but didn't know that the place was closing. Still great, friendly service. We appreciate the owner & staff for this! Ambience was clean and friendly read more

Compared to the other two Hawaiian bbq in Fairfield and Vacaville this is the only one that has chicken potstickers! I will drive all the way there just for that! Parking: can be hard to find because it's a small parking lot, and many little stores/ food places next to each other. read more

Lady at the register super friendly and helpful! And wow the food was delicious! Was able to get katsu and short rib and everything was superb. I was full but decided to try the veggies and those were great too! Tender but with chew and the seasoning was yummy. Got the Hawaiian Sunrise smoothie, just like a Hawaiian sun drink in a smoothie form with boba. Refreshing. So many drinks to try and my husband and I will definitely be coming back. read more

Pretty good food. I ordered here via the Yelp app. The process was seamless which I appreciated. Food was ready on time and pickup was easy. There are located in a small, but kinda crowded strip mall in Vacaville. There is outdoor dining too which is good. Food was good. I had the chicken katsu mini and the chicken teriyaki musubi. Nothing over the top, just your standard fast food plate lunch restaurant. I have yet to try their Hawaiian dishes. Hope to be back soon. read more

*OWNER OFFERED ME A REFUND (I NEVER ASKED FOR) AND WHEN I ARRIVE THE OLDER WOMAN GOES ON A 10 MINUTE AGGRESIVE TANGENT ABOUT HOW MY REVIEW WASN'T ACCURATE, HOW I'M WRONG AND NEED A DOCTOR'S NOTE TO PROVE I GOT SICK FROM THEIR DISGUSTING FOOD REALLY? THAT'S WHY YOU OFFERED ME A REFUND SO YOU CAN TALK SHIT TO ME IN PERSON?! I WILL NEVER BE BACK HERE AGAIN I'M OFFENDED AND DISGUSTED FOR THE WAY THEY TREATED ME FOR AN HONEST REVIEW* Do not listen to the glowing reviews, this place is not what it used to be. This was by far the worst Hawaiian food I've ever had not to be dramatic. Service was friendly but the food was flavorless. I hate to say nasty but it was. The rice was soggy and mushy, the mac salad was watery and had the tiniest bit of carrots just mayo water noodles (noodles meaning the mac salad) and the chicken needed all the extra teriyaki sauce (I thought it was a side of bbq because that's what the white man working the counter said it was) and sriracha in the world. Sorry to say I will definitely never be eating here again. 7 hours later after consuming experiencing diarrhea. This review is definitely meant for the right restaurant the owner seems a bit in denial to this review I never even said they were located in Fairfield I've eaten here many times and I'll say it again it's simply not the same quality in taste anymore and the last negative review 9 days ago that had nothing to do with me (I believe them). read more
