Hawaiian bros lobby
Rashad B.

I used to work here. Even since I have left HB has never been a bad visit to me. I am friends with colleagues here and management and they hold the restaurant together! I'll never not eat here especially when I need something moderately healthy and fast. The vibes are always fun or chill and laid back. I need to come here more often for times when I do work or business from home.

Honolulu Chicken Luau Pig Fresh Pineapple (large mix)

Ordered online for an at-home meal. Never tried this place but it came highly recommended. I had a large mix of pork and Honolulu chicken with a side of pineapple vs macaroni. My wife had a regular all veggie. The pork was smoke well chicken had great flavor a little rubbery, the pineapple was great. Plenty of rice to go around..Downside no sauce offered. My wife was not impressed by her meal but enjoyed mine. Would I go back...(I already have) yes they are worth trying. The ladies there were great and fixed a mistake I made with my online order with little work on my part.

I have never been to Hawaii so I'm not sure if the food is considered as authentic, but it's definitely worth a try! I heard so many good things about Hawaiian Bros from social medias, but I never made the effort to drive 30 mins to try it. On my way back from Springfield, I noticed a huge sign saying "Hawaiian Bros, Next Exit!" and said this was my chance. The food was amazing and the price was super affordable. For $9-10 a meal, you get a scoop of meat, two scoops of rice and macaroni salad. That's a steal, considering how much food is in a box (see photos). My boyfriend got the basic Huli Huli chicken and I got the Molokai-- a little spicier. We came right before the dinner rush so it wasn't too crazy, but it did take 5 mins to get our meal. One thing that I didn't like was how much sauce there are. Although the teriyaki sauce was good, there was just too much that it drenched the white rice. I guess I just have to make sure to ask for less sauce next time. The workers are friendly and the place is kept clean. The decorations win hands down with the teal wall paint, surf board and Hawaii map hanging on the wall. I came back another time to try their new Dole whip and that was a hit also! I wanted the mango flavor, but their machine was having problem so I got the pineapple instead. It was soft, yummy and flavorful. Definitely stop by if you're in the area!!

I wrestled with the 3 vs. 4-star rating for a few reasons: 1. The teryaki chicken was BOMB! 2. Macaroni salad was pretty tasty. 3. Rice had no garnish or flavor. 4. Asian sodas were bland. 5. Interior was kinda dirty. Let's discuss the teryaki chicken. Super juicy, fresh never frozen delectable piece of meat. The sauce was EVERYTHING! Unfortunately, the rice that they coupled it with was slightly overcooked and gummy. When you pay $12 you expect to at least have Jasmine Rice. Nope, this was straight Mahatma LOL Later on while browsing their photos I saw some parsley dressing added to the rice so not sure how they missed it on our order. I took a few bites of macaroni salad, decent and tasted like your typical family function/BBQ side dish with a hint of spice. Asian soda, grapefruit and passion fruit, seemed like 89% water with a few squirts of artificial flavoring. Interior looked like they had a large party recently visit and didn't quite have the time to clean up properly. It wasn't trashed but our table had some sticky spots. Again, the chicken is fantastic. If they can make a few tweaks to the sides and sodas we could move on up to 4-stars.

Molokai chicken (I ordered a bun and made my own sandwich) the other half of the meat is Honolulu chicken. Yup! They look the same!

Disclaimer: this is the first time I have eaten Hawaiian food. It seemed like each dish was either really sweet or really bland. I told the cashier that this was my first experience and she said her favorite thing is the #2 (Molokai chicken). I asked for a scoop of #3 (Honolulu chicken) so that I could try more than one thing. The Molokai chicken was really sweet. It was also visually indistinguishable from the Honolulu chicken. I actually went back to the counter to ask for the other meat since it didn't look like two different things! She pointed out that one half had sesame seeds on it and that's the Honolulu one. The flavor was a little different, a little less sweet, noticeable notes of garlic, and the sesame oil stood out. I made a sandwich of the Molokai chicken. Which left the rice and Honolulu chicken for lunch tomorrow. Portion sizes were decent. Sides? Plain white rice. Plainest macaroni salad I've ever had. Seriously tasted like it was made with just mayo and cracked pepper. Color me unimpressed. This meal needs more flavor notes, pickles or something acidic and crunchy would be very welcome to break things up a bit.

A few days ago, I went to KC for a quick trip to pick up something I cannot get repaired in MHK, and had a few hours to spend before it was ready. I typically go to stores we do not have, so after stops at TJ's, Sprouts, and Costco, I had not eaten a thing since the morning and was starving, I ordered a pick-up poke bowl at 3:30 PM because it was not far from Costco, and was pleased to see yellowtail as a protein option! I was really impressed with all of the possibilities, including the green tea-coconut rice as a base, and included mix-ins/toppings such as seaweed salad, masago, and tamagoyaki without any extra cost! I had a really awesome bowl and if I did not already have ito en jasmine green tea in my car, I would have eagerly bought a bottle to accompany my poke! Itadakimasu!

Service is always friendly and there is plenty of seating to enjoy your meal. The indoor space is very welcoming and has plenty of seating, so it's perfect for catching up with friends over lunch or a casual dinner date. Check it out!

We had two events that were supposed to be held here, one was quite out of the blue (so I understand the outcome) we called into the shop and no one was there (although it says it is open) I was just disappointed due to the lack of warning or signage but I still understand- the second time though is unacceptable. We had an event planned at this location for two months, the day we were going to go in we wanted to call ahead and let them know a large group would be coming in- no answer. We arrived and it was closed. PLEASE for the love of GOD. Run a functioning business- with regular hours or at least provide updates to a website/signage so people don't plan to have an outing there- if you want returning customers please act like it. I'm so sad to leave this review- I really do love this place their icecream and employees are so pleasant but I will have to find somewhere else to go. I wish the owners the best and o hope management and fix this and make this place enjoyable again

Thank you for this experience…read more Seriously. Because now I know one place I will never come back to. Around 10:30 PM I was sitting in my car trying to decide where to have dinner. I had never been to Hawaiian Bros before, so I figured this was a good chance to finally see what everyone was talking about. Google said you were open until 12:00 AM, so I drove over. I got there around 10:50 PM. Everything looked normal. Or at least I thought so. I spent about fifteen minutes deciding what to order. Only after that was I told some ingredients were already gone, so part of the menu couldn't even be made. Why wasn't that the first thing your employees told me when I walked in? I changed my order. I ordered dine in. Nobody said the dining room would close early. Nobody said I wouldn't be allowed to eat inside. Nobody said a single word. Around 11:15 PM my food came out in plastic containers inside a plastic bag. Strange for dine in, but okay. I was hungry. I sat down. About fifteen minutes later an employee came over and told me I had to leave. I honestly laughed because I thought she was joking. I asked, "Your restaurant closes at midnight, right?" "Yes." "So why am I being asked to leave at 11:30?" "It's company policy." Okay... Show me the policy. It's not on your website. Nobody mentioned it before I ordered. Nobody mentioned it before I paid. Nobody mentioned it while my food was being prepared. The only thing I heard was that I had to leave. Now here's what really bothered me. When I walked in around 10:50 PM, there were four military members sitting inside eating dinner. They stayed inside while I was waiting for my food. Nobody interrupted them. Then a few minutes later, the rest of us were outside eating on benches while the restaurant was still officially open. That made absolutely no sense to me. If the same rules apply to everyone, then apply them to everyone. If your dining room closes before midnight, change the hours. If customers can't eat inside after a certain time, put a sign on the front door. If half the menu isn't available anymore, tell people before they spend fifteen minutes choosing dinner. Don't wait until they've already paid. And definitely don't sell someone a dine-in meal just to send them outside before your posted closing time. The crazy part? The food wasn't bad. The service destroyed the entire experience. I came here expecting dinner. Instead, I got a lesson on how fast a good meal can be ruined by poor management and employees who clearly didn't want customers there anymore. Kansas City has too many restaurants that actually respect the hours they advertise. Next time, I'll spend my money at one of those.
