    Kalua pig with cabbage and Bbq chicken. Comes with Mac salad
    Crystal A.

    Very tasty. It's one of my favorite places. Their Lau Lau is the best though. I highly recommend.

    Mochiko chicken (small)

    Every foodie should have a Hawaiian spot in their list of places to eat and Hawaiian Sun BBQ is the spot for me. Tucked into a small strip mall, is this gem of a place. Been coming here for years and this place have never disappointed. Mind you it is sort of a hole-in-the-wall kind of joint and not one of the overhyped fancy foo foo places. One to the best part, the food! 1) Mochiko chicken - this is a staple and I always get this. Crispy, juice, sweet and a little spicy. What more can you ask. 2) Ox tail noodle soup - so good and the ox tails is fork tender. 3) locomoco/mochiko chicken combo - if you cannot decide between a couple options get a combo and get a bit of both! Who does not like a good ol locomoco? Flavored beef , overeasy egg , rice , gravy 4) Kailua Pork - get it with the cabbage. So good, savory and tender. Definitely a classic. Staff is great and they have a good selection of Hawaiian Sun to wash down the food with. If you are in the Everett area, come on by and get a taste of the Aloha.

    I've never had a bad meal here. The food is always tasty, the service is friendly, and the prices are beyond fair. This is my go to spot for Hawaiian dishes.

    Bbq plate lunch $11 insane value great flavor
    JD D.

    The best Hawaiian spot in Washington still outdoing the old and new competition. My family and I hadn't been here in over 5 years but decided to order takeout recently. Where else can you get dinner for $11?! 3 bbq plates, 2 spam Musubi and one deluxe double cheeseburger ran our family around $40. That's insane value and quality in today's economy. We will continue to support and sing the praises of this establishment who have very minimally increased their prices to feed hungry families for years. Much mahalo!

    Order a spam musubi, katsu musubi and egg rolls all very scrumptious 100/10  Will definitely be back to try some entrees.

    Ordered a spam musubi, katsu musubi, and egg rolls... all veryyyyy scrumptious! 100/10 Will definitely be back to try some entrees :)

    Now' that is a Loco Moco!  Complete with mac salad!

    I've eaten here many times since my original 2010 review. In fact we just ate there last weekend and with my last review of Kona Kitchen's Loco Moco, I can honestly say I prefer Hawaiian Sun B.B.Q.'s Loco Moco. for the following reasons: 1. The price is right. 2. Made perfect. The protein to carb ratio is spot on. In other words, two patties, two eggs, smothered in gravy and the perfect amount of rice. 3. Side of Hawaiian Mac...part of the meal...not extra $. 4. Just tasted damn good! You get a chance to visit I would also recommend their Mochiko Chicken, their Short Ribs and the Meat Jun. I also love their musubi which comes in spam or chicken and wrapped in cellophane, just like the ones sold in any mini-mart on the islands. But honestly, everything I've ever had there has been good and the reason I keep coming back is food like that is what I would consider "comfort" food, and they do it right. The place ain't fancy, in fact it's one of those "Hole in the Wall" kinda places in a strip mall, but some of the best "local" food I've eaten in Hawaii and here in Washington are "Hole in the Wall" kinda places. So while I didn't hate Kona Kitchen , given the choice, I would choose Hawaiian Sun B.B.Q. It's good food made right and not hard on the wallet either.

    Mini Meat Jun plate
    Kehaunani B.

    I ordered one mini meat jun plate, it was mostly egg and a small piece of meat. Wasted plate more like egg jun rather than meat jun. you can see in the picture how small the meat is lol

    #15 combo plate with 2 musubis for dine in and 2 to go!
    Olivia C.

    We shared a plate of the #15 plate with the three meats, rice and macaroni salad. We also got 4 musubi. All the food was quickly prepared and tasted great. For the most part the meats all had the same flavor of sweet sauce, but was perfect for what we wanted. Great and quick service.

    Let me tell you about Lew's BBQ. Or as my husband and I now call it BBQ from the Loo. And before…read moreyou ask yes. It earned that name. Every single letter of it. This place had every opportunity to be the holy grail of down-home BBQ. The kind of spot you drag yourself to when you're too lazy to fire up your own grill but still want to feel like a person with standards. Instead it delivered something far more memorable: profound disappointment wrapped in a paper napkin. The potential was there. The execution? Somewhere between 'bless their heart' and 'what in the actual hell.' We drove from Sultan for this. SULTAN. On a Wednesday. Like optimistic idiots with functioning taste buds and unreasonable hope. We walked in at 3pm to a dining room so empty it felt like a crime scene missing the chalk outline. Not 'peaceful Wednesday afternoon' empty. Not 'hidden gem that hasn't been discovered yet' empty. More like 'did someone die here' empty. The kind of empty that should've been a sign. It was a sign. We ignored it. Now. The meat. OH. THE MEAT. Buried under sauce and not in a 'this is so fire we had to' way. More of a 'if we cover it completely maybe God won't see what we did' situation. Spoiler: God saw. WE saw. The meat was dry lifeless and deeply confused about what year it was. That BBQ had the energy of someone who already put their coat on to leave the party an hour ago but somehow ended up on your plate anyway. The whole meal arrived in to-go containers with plastic forks. Plastic. Forks. The kind that bend before the meat does. I mentioned I'd take leftovers to go. I did not mean 'serve my entire dine-in experience like a sad airport meal.' Nothing says 'welcome to our restaurant' like eating off disposable everything while sitting in an actual building with actual chairs. Now here's where it gets spiritual. A mystery cup of mac and cheese appeared at our table. Uninvited. Unannounced. Like an uninvited relative at Thanksgiving. We thought how sweet! A little gesture! A sample! The universe providing! Narrator: The universe was charging $3.95. That mac and cheese which based on its journey to our table had clearly seen some things. Wasn't terrible but wasn't exceptional. Showed up on the bill. For four bites of mediocre mac that nobody ordered. A complimentary charge. And THEN like the plot needed one more twist when you go to pay on the counter there's a handwritten sign informing you of a $2 per plate/platter upcharge for 'product costs.' No prices on the menu. None. This isn't a scavenger hunt Lew. We're not on a BBQ treasure map. We're hungry people who would like to know what things cost before we eat them. The bill: $95. NINETY. FIVE. DOLLARS. For reheated meat, collard greens and a mac and cheese I did not order but apparently spiritually owed. I still tipped $10. Not out of satisfaction. Out of the deep social paralysis that will haunt me until I die. Look I want Black-owned soul food spots to WIN. Full stop. I am ROOTING for you Lew. But you cannot hide dry confused reheated meat under enough sauce to drown a brisket charge $95 for the experience. You cannot. BBQ from the Loo. I drove from Sultan for this. I will not be back. But I WILL be telling everybody.

    On our way out we stopped to grab a plate to eat once we got home. We got the rib, links and…read morebrisket with side of greens and Mac. The greens were fire!! We enjoyed our feast!

When we went on a weekend, it was very quiet, too quiet, with moderate business and perhaps five tables occupied. This is our fourth West African restaurant in this area; all but one are a bit rough around the edges. The male server spoke only to my husband, despite me initiating the conversation and placing the order. Hello, the 21st century is calling! The food takes a while to be ready; they all do for some reason. This time we waited half an hour with a near empty restaurant. If you are hungry, order an appetizer. Generally speaking, the food is good, and the portions are generous. The Food: Dibi Afra or Grilled Lamb, $26.99 - 4.5 Stars Menu: Popular SeneGambian street food. Meat marinated in authentic heritage seasonings and char-grilled served with onions, spicy mustard, and salad. There is something comforting about a giant pile of chopped lamb, fantastically seasoned, served with onions and an excellent salad. I packed 2/3 of the lamb and onions to take home. Grilled Golden Pompano, $25.99 - 5 Stars Menu: Whole Golden Pompano either grilled or fried marinated with heritage seasonings The fish is perfectly grilled. The fried plantain, a pleasant surprise as it was not mentioned on the menu, was wonderfully fried. Both salads are superb too. Beef Fataya or Meat Pie, $9.99 - 3 Stars Menu: Savory Empanadas (3) with choice chicken, beef, seafood or vegetarian We order meat pies from all four West African restaurants we visited. This is the first time where the beef tasted wasn't seasoned or flavorful enough to eat by itself without sauce. Rather disappointed. Jollof Rice side, $9.99 - 4 Stars Ever since the first West African restaurant we visited told us jollof rice recipe is every family and every restaurant's secret, I have made it my mission to order it at every restaurant. I took a close-up photo to show the seasonings in the rice. Theirs is very good, and I'm glad they offer it as a side.

I can say we were all pretty disappointed in this place. The staff was the only positive that we took away from this experience. Both servers that we encountered were both kind and attentive. The drinks and food however totally missed the marks. We all started off with drinks 2 margaritas, a gin gimlet and a beer between the four of us. The margaritas were terrible, like I am not sure how they put them as a feature drink. They had zero jalapeños and also offered no spicy margarita whatsoever. My wife's gin gimlet tasted like straight up lime juice. All were complete misses. Next we moved on to the food where each couple ordered a dozen wings. The X's and O's( fries and onion rings) and we also ordered a wedge salad. The wedge salad came out and idk how it was marketed as wedge when it was a bowl of salad completely engulfed in dressing(closer to soup than salad). Next the fries and onion rings came out and I'm not usually a stickler for what things cost, but $17 for like 6 onion rings and a very sad plate of fries. We expected a bit more for what we ordered for the table. Lastly the wings. While the flavoring of the wings were good, they came out not too warm to the touch and biting into them they were cold on the inside. Concerned that we may get sick from uncooked meat they assured us that they were precooked and just dropped into the fryer to finish them off. To me it is concerning that though they were precooked and still missed on hearing them all way, you may need to have a chat with your kitchen. Both of the servers were on top of it and ran both dozens back to have our order recooked. Second time around they were hot and crispy with good flavor(although the garlic boom boom wings were missing one of the sauces the second time around). It didn't matter, we ate them and paid. Not sure we will put this on our revisit list. Maybe the burgers or flatbread were the way to go, but out of 3 menu items and even the drinks.... There needs to be much more effort to everything here...
