The place was clean great location lots of parking. The service was prompt and friendly. Loved the decor and great vibes. But I had to give ut a 4 star does not taste like huli huli chicken at all. It was teriyaki chicken. The Mac salad also didnt taste authentic but was decent and the portions were really good. If you like teri steak and chicken its good. read more

Always a staple for me when we go to this side of town! We've been eating here for years. My go to is the huli huli chicken i like to add furikake to my rice. This plate was $11.95 and i always have left overs. Food was served quick and yummy! read more

Hawaiian Time - #3. Huli Huli Chicken Plate - Hawaiian Near Me - Salem, Oregon

We stopped there whenever we were in West Salem. We get the medium plate and split up between two of us. It's just like the Hawaiian lunch plate you get on the island. read more

For the price I think Hawaiian time is very reasonable. You get fairly large portions, sometimes I still have leftovers on a small plate and a large plate can feed two. Their Mac salad is heavier on the mayo than a few other spots I've been to but I like it that way so I enjoy it. The service is pretty quick and everytime I have gone has been friendly. I'm not sure how the inside of the restaurant is because I always use the drive through. A few times when I have tried to go inside it is closed but the drive through is always open during their business hours read more

The food is amazing i got money stolen i gave this girl a $50 and she gave me the change as if i gave her $20 she's white with glasses and short read more

The food is pretty good... when they actually have food. I've been here 5 times so far and only was able to order once because they didn't have item I came for, which is Kahlua Pork, their signature dish. When they have it it's good. Service is fine, nothing amazing, and the ambiance is fast food minimalist in style, which doesn't bother me, but also doesn't invoke the theme of Hawaii. Anyway, try calling ahead to see if they have what you want to order prepared. read more

Service was fast and food was amazing! Lovely young lady with pink hair working the register. Very friendly and helpful

There was a very large woman sitting fully on top of the front counter on her phone when I walked in. can't believe the lack of work ethic in this store. It used to be great! Now it's dirty and grimy every time I come in the store. Very disappointed in the way things have been run in the store these past few weeks. Going down hill fast. Foods the same though so I can't complain there. read more

The slowest drive-thru I have ever seen. Unbelievably slow. It's so slow the people at the microphone forget they already took your order.i was in line for 29 minutes!!! read more

Not bad! They have a lot of variety on their menu and I love that they have 3 different portions to choose from. They offer delivery on Doordash as well if you live in the are! I ordered the Kekoa's Special in the smalled size, dakine. I got it with rice and mac. This was my lunch, so the portion was just right for me. The beef had a good balance of lean and fat. The sauce was a sweet thick teriyaki sauce and paired well with the beef and rice. The mac salad had a bit too much black pepper and overpowered the taste, but it was not bad. read more

Hawaiian Time - Kekoa's Special (dakine) - Hawaiian Near Me - Salem, Oregon

Staff was friendly, didn't wait long to order and get my food, order was done correctly and tasted great. Will be back.

This is the LAST TIME I will EVER give this business ANY OF MY MONEY!!! Went through the drive thru. I ordered low carb chicken and vegetables. Upon her handing me the order, I said no plastic silverware please, we don't need any we're going straight home! The response was, "It's mandatory, I have to put them in the bag." WTH ?!! Never,ever have I had this response. Really?! You want to support single use plastic? Absolutely appalling. When I got home my order want even right! Chicken, Mac salad AND 2 servings of rice! So much for low cab meal. read more

Seriously!!! $6.95 for this side of veggies?!? Did they get distracted and walk away half way through. I get "shrinkflation" but this is ridiculous. Very sad indeed. read more

Hawaiian Time - 6.95 for this side of veggies. - Hawaiian Near Me - Salem, Oregon

closes a hour early for some reason, i've always liked the food and came at 8pm and everything is closed down

We moved to west Salem a couple months ago and love to get this for dinner. Everything is always mad fresh, and while we typically have to wait a while in the drive-through, I promise it's worth it. ALSO, there was a sweet brown haired gal that working the window this evening my wife and I would like to shout out, there was a line to the street, and she was killing it like a pro, thank you miss! (around 6:30 pm drive through if the manager wants to give her a raise ;)) read more

Hawaiian Time - two trays of pulled pork and rice - Hawaiian Near Me - Salem, Oregon

they are lucky they get one star. This resturant customer service wise is horrible. i just spent 20 minutes in line not to even get my order taken. during the day service is great but after 4 pm it sucks. they dont seem to be able to keep enough staff to run both the drive thru and front. maybe management needs changed or they just need to close this location. either way its poorly run. if i owned it the manager would be gone and id fully staff read more

While I like the food everything I order they get my order wrong. I ordered double Mac and got it home and of course it wasn't double Mac. Never fails it's always wrong. And the amount of pork they put in the order was so much less than it usually is. I don't think I'll be back. To bad... the food tastes good I just can't spend hard earned money and not get what I ordered. read more

Their sandwiches are very yummy, I especially like the one in West Salem. They have friendly and fast service here.

Restaurant was messy. Every table looked like they hadn't been wiped at all. Service was below average, they brought us our food and there was only one fork to split between my fiancée and myself. The food was done incorrectly. I ordered Mua Loana Chicken, and requested medium spice. They definitely added significantly more spice than a normal "medium", and the meal was way too spicy. I should've sent it back, but was hungry and didn't want to bother. We will never be back here. read more

Sorry folks but this was not a good experience. Don't think I would give them a second chance. I'm trying to be honest with this review and not just bash them. We live in West Salem and have been driving by this place for a while. We finally decided to give this place a try. The young lady at the counter seemed distant, like she wasn't really interested in wanting to help us. We ordered the Huli Huli Chicken and the Chicken and Vegetables dishes to eat in. The place is cold inside and it seemed to be a converted garage or something with garage doors as the store front. Grey concrete floors with a sign at each table that said you only get 30 minutes to eat. There was nobody else in the restaurant while we were there. Next to the counter was a garbage can with no lid that was full. The food was very quick coming out. Somebody just ran over to us and kind of threw the food to us at our table. When we opened the box the food looked like somebody had just thown a bunch of food together in one big mess. There was a side of rice and the chicken was a gravy looking thing thrown on top of more rice. To be honest, it was not good. The macaroni salad was to salty. Even the self service soda was not mixed right and was watered down and had a funny taste to it. I threw my drink out and tried another one and it wasn't any better. I've been to Hawaii many times and all I can say is that this was not Hawaiian food. It was more of a teriyaki sauce on what tasted like boiled chicken. The vegetables were soggy and the whole meal was very disappointing. The only positive side is that the dinner was cheap. But you get what you pay for I guess. I have no interest in spending my money there again when there are so many other nice places to eat in West Salem. Sorry.... read more

I'm kinda the nice guy. I give most people or businesses 5 stars, unless they really messed up or were rude. This time I really mean it. 5 stars all the way. 10 stars if I could. This pork, rice and macaroni salad is so good. I think it is called Kalua Pork. I will definitely be back many many many times. I highly recommend this place. So so good. read more

I love Hawaiian time. This location failed basic concepts. I added an extra scoop of mac and omitted the extra rice. I DoorDashed so when I got my food, it was extra rice and no mac. I double checked that everything was right before ordering. Stay away from this location. read more

Beware, they don't stay open until posted hours. They are posted as open until 9, we pulled up to the drive thru at 8:45 and it said they were closed and to come back during business hours. Double checked the hours in the window, they are posted as open until 9. People were still inside eating but they had turned off the open sign. Just change your hours if you're not going to be open until 9! read more

Hawaiian Time Authentic Plate Lunch We get takeout from Hawaiian Time they two or three times a month, and we have never been disappointed. There are nine Hawaiian Time locations, two of which are in Salem, and this trip, we dined-in at their Wallace Road location, in West Salem. My go-to favorite is the regular-size Huli Huli (Teriyaki) Chicken ($8.50), and my better half likes the dakin (small) Huli Huli (Teriyaki) Chicken ($6.50). The teriyaki chicken is tender and flavorful, the rice perfectly cooked, and because we love the macaroni salad, we always substitute an additional scoop of macaroni salad for the rice ball (50-cents extra). Fountain drinks ($2) are self service, but to be honest, I would prefer Coke products ... but you can't have everything. There is no charge for water cups. We find the employees on the counter fast and friendly, and the decor is just what you would expect at a Hawaiian themed fast / casual restaurant -- cheerful, relaxed, neat and simple. The store has plenty of parking, there is a drive thru, and two large see-through roll-up doors, that can be opened when the weather cooperates. We love it! Four Stars. read more

Guy who took my order was kind of rude and treated customer like they where dumb. I turned the display can to read the flavor and he "EH EH EH EH EH!! " like I'm a child. Was kind of rude the way he spoke to the other customers behind me too. read more

11/18/23, did the drive-thru and ordered Kalua Pig Sandwich. When I drove to the window, the very first thing the guy said to me in a demanding tone, "tip"? I said no! "Receipt"? I said no! Then he said, ok one minute on your food. He handed me my food, I said Thank you! He said "yep"! That Sandwich was Awful!! The meat tasted funny, the bun tasted old and burnt, the mac looked like it was the last little bit at the bottom of the bucket. After my 1 bite in, I stopped off at a gas station and threw it out. That was a good reminder, why I no longer eat at Hawaiian Time. read more

Hands down best Hawaiian food I've had. You've ruined all me Hawaiian food in California. I will be back the next time I visit. I had Kalyan's Pig and it was amazing! The two other people in my party had Mauna Loa Chicken and Teriyaki beef both were yummy. All of the meat was so tender with great flavor. read more

Hawaiian Time - Part of the menu. - Hawaiian Near Me - Salem, Oregon

I called my order in for 'pick-up'. The Chinese Chicken Salad, it was VERY good. My only complaint is they forgot to give me the crunchy chow mein noodles that come with the salad and the lemonade I had ordered. I'll give them one more chance. read more

The huli huli chicken was amazing, the Kalua pig could have been better even with extra sauce it was just ok.

The food isn't horrible, veggie portions seems to be minimal for what you pay though. Extra charge for sauces is ridiculous now. No indoor seating, when will that happen again. Here's the taker, the costumer service at this location is horrid!! Mainly young teens working, what happened to great costumer service? You can't ask a simple request or extra anything without an attitude, glares and talking behind your back when you can clearly hear them talking about you. This place use to be a favorite but service alone has made us go else where. Not worth the location if you get rude people making you feel like an inconvenience, I'd rather drive over the bridge to a different HT. read more

I normally go to the location on 23rd as it's closer to mu house. Today was my first time at the West Salem location. First, I don't know if they are owned by the same owner but this location is noticeably different. First, their customer service was much friendlier than 23rd. Second, my Large plate seemed like an authentic large plate and doesn't compare to the serving size of 23rd large plate. Their Honolulu beef is much better than 23rds. I wish I lived closer to this location. read more

Born and raised in Hawaii, specifically Oahu grown. Their food meets my expectations. Order their large and you will be full. I can eat a lot for 115 lb female. This puts me in a food coma and I am not mad about it. Mac salad: the quantity of mayo to pasta ranges each time I visit. I personally don't care but my husband does. He's not much of a fan of "too much" mayo. Again, I'm okay with this. This just means he will end up giving me his Mac salad.. a win on my end! Kalua pork: Good, not great. There is a very, very, very faint smoke flavor. But heck, I'm okay with it. Rice: Excellent. It's not too wet or too dry. It has the right amount of stickiness where you start to question, "WHY did I NOT order an extra side of rice?!?". Okay so, that was a low key rec, they give a lot of meat.. at least for their kalua pork plate. Order an extra side of rice if you're a sassy non-keto individual. Sauce: I'm not mad about it. It's flavorful (reminds me of Aloha Shoyu's huli-huli sauce). Overall, a good experience. read more

Hawaiian Time - Kalua pork, Ali'i size. - Hawaiian Near Me - Salem, Oregon

Just borderline above average, but there are a lot of things I love about this place. There is a limited selection of Hawaiian food in Salem, and this definitely wouldn't have been my first choice (though, I still recommend trying). Their staff members are friendly and accommodating, their food comes out quick, hot, and seems fresh. I always order a Kaula Pork here and the smallest portion is just enough to get me full. I have ordered a "regular" size before, but generally split it with someone else to have. I wish they had musubis here, because that would definitely be the cherry on top! They have a large selection regards of food, and allow you to substitute sides. Location is clean, but is a little dark. There is a moderate amount of parking, but if you're not able to get a spot here... there is another location just a few minutes away from them. read more

First they cut multiple options out of the menu. OK, times are tough. Then they stopped accepting online orders. OK. So I called to order by phone, at 7:35 pm. Web site says they are open until 9pm. The person on the phone didn't want to take my order because "due to understaffing, the walk-up area is closed, but you're welcome to come to the drive-through." So i went there, arrived at 8:05, and found a sign saying "Sorry, we closed at 8 tonight." I just talked to someone there and they forgot to tell me they were closing early? Do they not want customers? Hint to manager: if you treat your employees the way you treat your customers, no wonder you're understaffed. read more

Hawaiian Time - Receipt - Hawaiian Near Me - Salem, Oregon

Customer service horrible. Chicken was dry and now they charge extra if you want your chicken spicy.

Been numerous times and each experience has been 5 stars. Food is SO GOOD, service is great, and it's quick. My favorite is the huli huli chicken and the Mac salad is bomb. bonus, if you get your plate with vegetables, you get all kinds of tasty sautéed veggies- broccoli, carrot, onion, squash. Such a wonderful option! Is this "authentic" Hawaiian? Who cares?! It's freakin awesome, every time. BTW- Authentic Hawaiian food, like poke or poi is disgusting. Trust me, you can't go wrong with this place! read more

It's a chain, so their food is pretty much always good and consistent. I always get the Honolulu beef and it resembles beef bulgogi. Hawaiian Time also has the best macaroni. Great for halfway healthy (albeit carby) meal. read more
