Ever since I moved to Eugene for college I have been coming to Hawaiin time. It was the first meal I ate when visiting. The huli huli chicken is exquisite. I have had it so many times and it hits the spot over and over again. Their Mac salad is the best I have ever had at any hawaiin restaurant. No mix ins just mayo and lots of pepper. Evening about this meal is perfect. The teriyaki sauce they marinate it in is amazing. I love putting it all over the rice and more on the chicken with the side of it they give you. This meal is only $7.95 and it's very filling even for being the smallest size. I've never ordered anything else here. Hawaiin time ILY read more

Hawaiian Time - Dakine huli huli chicken - Hawaiian Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

I've been going to the River Road location for over a decade and get the same thing large #3 the last two times I've been there the large is now the size of the medium! definitely not worth the price! I won't go back!! I know I'm only one person so I'm sure they will be fine. Good luck! read more

I just moved to Eugene and am so happy this place is so close to my beloved TJ Maxx. I have no idea what all the bad reviews are about!! I have gotten the regular huli huli chicken plate both times and the experience has been great. The employees are in fact kind, i get my food quickly, and the portions are huge. 5 stars! Next time, I'll try something different :) read more

Horrible service. Workers were very rude and when I got my food it was cold. Will definitely never go there again.

They have beef back on the menu. It's good. I think the Loren style garlic beef is better than the teriyaki.

We went in early in the afternoon, ordered the beef plate , the beef was so over cooked it was like chewing on jerky ( burnt way over cooked ) , I can't understand how they would serve that to anyone , We had to throw it away, it was that bad, they didn't give us a receipt OR we would have asked for or money back we are so disappointed ! NOT planning on going back who even over sees the store ....... read more

Out traveling to Eugene and decide to eat here. The service was great, our food was fresh and YUMMY! I've eaten other locations in town and this restaurant is the best one. Thank you read more

This place is taking a dive. The owners don't care anymore, the employees don't care, no one cares. I walk in to the store after calling over and over again and they said they didn't answer because of the dinner rush. I called while I was in there just to see and the phone was on and it never rang. There's only 4 people in here @ 6:30 as I write this. Tried coming the other day 30 min before close and the same gal said they stop making chicken that close to closing so you have to pre-order it. Foods still decent, but Hawaiian times is on its last leg. I've been coming here since they opened the first one, it's a sad day. read more

This is by far the best Hawaiian Time restaurant. We have been to all of them ( even the ones in and near Portland before they closed ). This one is the most consistent on the quality of their food. Biggest complaint now is you can't call in to place a to go order. You have to go online and order the food. The problem is when I went on at 3 minutes after they opened, they gave me a 40 minute wait time to pick up my food. This is after punching the ASAP button. I am calling because I am driving through town. I could go into the restaurant and order my food and get it in 5-10 minutes max. Definitely need to do work on this aspect. read more

Always good food! Service can be fast or slow depending on the time of day. They try to make it feel very Hawaiian inside which is fun to see! read more

on 9/20/25 at 1:05pm bought Kalua pig , and a HuluI chicken . me and my mom eat it hers was the Kali's pig. 20 minutes after my mom eating she got violently sick!!! I have called Hawaiian time 4 times to talk to someone,only get answermachine left messages no one has called me back. we live in Elkton or hour away , and it has always been a treat to be able to stop and have lunch. very dis pleased no one has contacted me . I'm sure it was the pork !! that is the only thing she had eaten , and I am positive she was not the only one who got sick. I would think the manager would have contacted me ? but no response from anyone. I hope the upper management sees this. robin Buell robrobinbuell@gmail.com read more

SHAME ON YOU!! Return trip to Eugene and was craving Hawaiian plate lunch. I came across this place and my heart skipped a beat and I thought I could get some comfort food. Shameful that they would call themselves "Hawaiian" because there was nothing Hawaiian about it. Sure they served kalua pig, offered mac salad and scoops of rice with the meal, but that was it. We ordered Huli Huli chicken & the Mauna Loa chicken. Firstly, Huli Huli means to slowly turn--roasted/grilled chicken--should be whole pieces or maybe served on skewers. I'm not sure what I got, but it wasn't huli huli like I am used to having. This should be renamed Teriyaki Chicken! Next was their Mauna Loa Volcano Chicken--supposed to be sweet with a little spicy?? NOT!! The 2 chicken dishes both looked and tasted like teriyaki chicken, but to make matters worse, they didn't even care to differentiate the 2 because to them it is probably all the same--like teriyaki chicken. The mac salad was okay, but classic Hawaiian mac salad has some carrots in it...this had nothing. Bigger disappointment is there was no beef offerings or seafood and only offered kalua pig. No teri beef, kalbi, garlic shrimp or chicken katsu. I can understand not offering saimin (ramen), but to not offer the basic loco-moco, a Hawaiian standard is terrible. Let's not even talk about their failure to provide any kind of SPAM on the menu or ANY KIND of musubi. Please remove any reference to Hawaii, Hawaiian or Hawaiian plate lunch from your business name and offerings because clearly you are not. Selling Hawaiian Sun drinks is not a saving grace. If this is a franchise, then ALL your franchises have got it wrong--there is ZERO authenticity and consider adding quotes around the name "Hawaiian" because it seems more of an attempt to make Hawaiian-like food without any authenticity. read more

The one on coburg road is amazing. Great food and super friendly.the manager probably needs a raise. But I'm just saying they treat people really good.all around good people. Thanks. Everything went well. Good crew.great customer service. read more

Felt super hungry after work, so I wanted something super filling and with a huge portion. So glad I came here! The place was under renovation, so the tables were put away. However, the staff was super nice. The flavor of the beef was soooo good! It was really filling and I couldn't finish it, so I kept it for my next meal. It was 2 meals in one haha, and for what it cost the return ratio was high! Would go again!! 10/10 recommend read more

Hawaiian Time - #2. Honolulu Beef - Hawaiian Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Great food especially the pork. Drive-through works well. We usually split a regular size entree and it travels home well when you get it to go. read more

Food was great as always. I've never been disappointed at any location. However when sitting at this location the restaurant smelt bad as if the environment was just not getting cleaned regularly or properly and we were the only ones in there. Cashier was nice though however and this doesn't stop me from wanting to return. Just want to put that out there read more

The true GOAT of Eugene. A little bit of a hole in the wall, but the tastiest dish and food (Spicy Mona Loa Chicken) in town, by far. The service is solid, but can be slow at lunch due to popularity. read more

No chicken breast. No beef. Place always seems dirty and sticky. It had been good in the past with more variety

I was really looking forward to some island flavors! Unfortunately, this place REALLY missed the mark. There was nothing that reminded me of Hawaii. It was literally some chicken with some carrots, onion, and some teriyaki sauce in a plastic box. It wasn't freshly grilled like you'd find in Hawaii. I'm actually not sure what I'd call , t but if you've grown up on or know what Hawaiian food tastes like, please don't waste your time. read more

Food used to be very good a few years ago. Not sure what changed but the chicken now tastes like boiled dry chicken with salty yucky sauce thrown on top. There is no beef choice and the prices are really high for what you get. $17 for a plate of very little boiled dry tasteless chicken, a lot of rice and a lot of macaroni drowning in mayonnaise. read more

I ordered my food in advance over their website (a bit outdated but worked alright), and it was ready within about 20 minutes. After tip, I ended up paying 15 dollars for the combination plate of rice, Mac salad, the Mauna Loa chicken, and the Huli Huli chicken. Before other charges, it is 11.95. I feel that I could have maybe gotten some more food for the price, but it was pretty good! It's okay Hawaiian good for Eugene, but the overall service was great! Very friendly servers. read more

if i could rate this place 0 i would. they treat their employees terribly. the last time i went there i got food poisoning. the tables were dirty and the floor was sticky. do NOT go to this location if you like Hawaiian time. read more

Oh my gosh, my mouth is watering just thinking about this meal! It was soooo good! It's a very casual place, you order at the counter and sit where you want. The Hawaiian themed decor is cool, but overall this place has a fast food kinda vibe, which totally works. My mom and I split a regular teriyaki chicken and it was plenty for us. And for $9, it was a good deal! The chicken was soooo good, loved the teriyaki sauce and the veggies were super fresh and crispy. That macaroni salad! We devoured that and probably could have eaten much more. Perfect place for lunch. I can't wait to go back! read more

Hawaiian Time - Teriyaki chicken, #5 on the menu - Hawaiian Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

service polite. food amazing. music coming from the kitchen had f-bombs over and over. disappointing

Stopped here every time I am I Eugene. Simple Hawaiian plate lunches. Simple setting Food is good.

Giving up hope that things get better. Too many disappoints with changing recipes, discouraging. read more

The food quality seems to be the same but it is very disappointing when you call several times trying to place an order and there's no answer. Then to your dismay when you walk in it's dead inside and all the employees are just talking in the back. Also the parking lot has always been horrible and could use some love. read more

Ordered Kalua Pig plate cuz it was late. Traditionally Kalua pig is served with its juices not oil soaked, which left my one scoop of rice enedible. Will not be going back again. You guys make local food from Hawai'i look back. read more

Their food is pretty good. Didn't have all the "normal" Hawaiian food items but the taste and quality of what they did have made up for it. I've only have the mixed plate and huli huli chicken sandwich but they are pretty good. Friendly staff and clean place. read more

I really love this place but every single time I come in, they are out of chicken and I have to wait for 15 min- even at lunch time. I also am bummed that they're not open on Sundays but I suppose that's not uncommon these days. Food is great, I just wish they would plan better for lunch rushes. read more

Good food, slow service. I'm sitting here 20 minutes to get my order. Still hasn't arrived even though it's not crowded.

worst place I have ever been. I went in as soon as they opened and other staff were showing up as if they were late. The fountain drink machine was broken and when I filled my cup it had black specs all in it. luckily I substituted for a canned drink. tables were all sticky and gross, food tasted like it came off an unclean grill, and staff acting like it was their first day. At least put a sign on the fountain drink machine saying out of order so others don't drink the filth. threw the food away. waste of time and $20. read more

I got the kalua pig and it was a great eat. The pork was tender, and there wasn't too little or too much pork on my regular-sized plate; just the perfect amount. It comes with more rice on the side, which is excellent with a simple splash of teriyaki sauce, and the macaroni salad, which gets heavy/rich after a couple of bites, but is finishable as it's only a small side dish (I wouldn't recommend getting extra). Overall, a solid meal if you want a straightforward and simple lunch. read more

I wanted to leave my review because they're not doing justice for claiming "authentic" Hawaiian food. Just simply 3 points that surprised me: 1) What are you putting in your macaroni salad? It tastes nothing like what you eat in Hawaii. If you're not from Hawaii, plz make sure to learn correct "authentic" recipe, 2) no seafood in the entire menu? Only meat and veggies option? Hm 3) I've never seen the veggie dish like this. We ordered because we wanted veggies (desperate!) But I wouldn't next time. Overall, I don't know who the owner is and her/his/their story. But as long as you claim to be authentic Hawaiian, you have responsibilities to fulfill! Wishing you the best. read more

First the girl at the counter seemed like she would rather be anywhere else but at work. Then they were out of stuff, then she gave us the wrong food. She didn't even look at the receipt to make sure it was right. I know that we won't go back to this particular Hawaiian time. read more

The food here is pretty good most of the time but the last few times I've been pretty disappointed. We ordered the Huli chicken and it was dry and burnt and was as though we were chewing on little bits of charcoal and little slivered shavings of wood. It was weird, and gross. It definitely had to be the very bottom of the pan of charcoal chicken. Over the last few months or so I've noticed they have gone from generous multiple teriyaki sauce cups to only one little dinky cup per meal, and that cup is only half full! (See photo below) I am also very put off by the fact that I am asked to tip each time I go now which they have never done before. Especially this last time which did not give me an option of declining a tip on the screen. Forced tipping? Wow. Don't get me wrong I do like to tip but if I tip every place I go nowadays I'm gonna end up homeless. read more

Fresh of the big island to salem oregon back in June of 2012 (former short cook for Blane's lunch plate ) and a friend of mine took me to the west salem Hawaiian time for the first time ever . Teri pork bowl sucked big time and the prices tasted even worst , rice was not sticky it was like long grain dried rice . Worst imitation Hawaiian food ever and it was my first and last time. Dass like our Taco Bell to authentic Mexican food. Trash . read more

We ordered a mix plate, a chicken and veggies plate and a huli huli plate. The mix plate only had one of the proteins, they completely forgot the second type. The chicken and veggies plate didn't come with any teriyaki sauce in it like it normally does, and they didn't send any on the side. The huli huli plate had a teriyaki sauce in it like normal, but this teriyaki sauce container was literally 1/4 of the way full. I just feel like this was really sloppy, they didn't pay attention to make sure the order was right of that we were given what was needed. The food always tastes good and the service was great, but this particular experience really disappointed me. read more

Every time I make a trip to Eugene I hit Hawaiian Time. You walk up to the counter and place your order, no BS. The food is also no BS and you can get anything you order "atkins" style (steamed veggies) if your figure can't support any more white rice and mac salad. The Mauna Loa chicken is my favorite! Pros: Excellent Mac Salad (more pepper than most styles) The Duke Kahanamoku decor Beer from Kona Brewing Company Options for people avoiding carbs Pretty authentic all things considered Cons: There is no visible menu over the counter. You have to grab a small paper menu at the front counter to see what to order. read more
