Back again at one of my fav take-out spots in Arbutus!…read more This time, I needed a pick-me-up at home, so I doordashed some Halo Hawaiian. It was delicious as always!! I grabbed the teriyaki chicken combo, which came with one scoop of white rice and one scoop of mac salad. I also decided to try their coconut shrimp with homemade coconut sauce, and grabbed a Hawaiian Sun drink in the flavor Lilikoi Passion. Everything was absolutely spectacular. The teriyaki chicken was saucy, tender, and nice and hot (even for being a delivery order). The coconut shrimp blew me out of the water honestly. The crispy hot shrimp with the creamy coconut sauce was outrageously good, some of the best coconut shrimp I've tried. I will definitely be ordering that again. 10/10!

It's especially comforting when you miss home and your loved ones. The only downside was the wait time for our order.

My friend who grew up in Northern VA raves about HawaU as his favorite Hawaiian spot. To be fair,…read morethere aren't many options, so there's not really any competition. I added this casual spot to my list a couple months ago, but didn't have concrete plans to check it out. Driving to Manassas and back on I-66 from where I live would cost half of my brain cells and all my patience. However, a few friends and I drove out to Shenandoah this past Friday evening, and I made a convincing argument that HawaU would be on the way. By the time we arrived, we were all incredibly hungry and ready to wolf down anything edible. The ordering process was easy: we ordered and paid at the counter, grabbed a seat at one of the few tables, and waited ~10-15 minutes for the food (parts of it are made to order). LOCO MOCO (BOWL) - 9.99 The chipotle-sized bowl was topped with loco moco: white rice base topped with hamburger patty, fried egg, grilled pineapple slice, and a generous pour of beef & mushroom gravy, plus sides of fresh cabbage salad and mac salad. The gravy nostalgically reminded me of the ones I'd get from cafeteria-style school lunches -- thick, salty, slightly starchy, yet oddly comforting. The egg, hamburger patty, and rice were pretty standard, but the familiarity of the gravy tied the whole dish together nicely. Both salads were good -- the cabbage was more light and refreshing, while the mac salad felt a bit heavy after all the loco moco. Since it's my first time eating loco moco, I can't say how it compares to others. However, I found HawaU's incredibly comforting and hearty. It really hit the spot for me, and I ate the whole bowl within 10 minutes. The loco moco is definitely their signature option and a must try. My friends who got the spicy pork bowl and udon thought both were just OK and not special.

I rarely write negative reviews because I know it's not easy to run a restaurant. But even when…read moretrying to be positive, I find it hard to recommend this place. I came as part of a large group dinner. I appreciate that they took large reservations and sat us in a nice spot in the middle of the restaurant. The server was nice and patient, but I did notice his jacket smelled like cigaret smoke. I asked what to get, since the menu is *huge* and overwhelming (I'm not sure why sushi, steak and pad Thai are on the same menu?). He recommended sushi, so I got a flaming dragon roll (I forget the exact name). Anyways, everyone else also ordered and the food came relatively quickly. Now...when I tell you this is the worst sushi I've ever had. Again, I hate being negative but I have to tell it like it is! When they first presented the dish, it was cool because they serve it on fire. I knew that they had sake in the dish (probably so the flame can keep going after they take it out of the kitchen). However, when I bit into it, the sake was *extremely* overpowering. I couldn't taste anything else except the sake. It was extremely alcohol-heavy and I could not finish the dish. I asked others to try it, and they all agreed that it was too heavy. The prices were also very high for what we got. The only food I enjoyed were the appetizers, but they were still unremarkable. Overall, I regrettably cannot recommend this place. None of the dishes stood out, and the sushi was shocking.

Great spot for Hawaiian inspired dishes!…read more I frequent this restaurant a lot to get their poke bowls and it never disappoints. They have fresh fish like tuna and salmon, generous portions, and a wide array of sauces! Best part is they also let you get as much toppings as you'd like so you can try new combinations. I got their spring mix with tuna and salmon this time, and all the toppings with spicy Korean and sesame sauce. Mondays are the best to go since they have $9 specials on regular bowls ($3 extra for fish) and usually no wait to take your order, but honestly the price is very reasonable even on other days. I will continue to come back as a customer for delicious poke :)

They give you a good portion size which is great. Every ingredient is always very fresh. The service is decent as well. It is always someone new working in there though, but I think it's because most are teenagers from the area. The ambiance is cozy and small. They have a couple tables available, but it seems that most people take out. Definitely try it out!

Otherwise I definitely recommend this place for takeout. Also, the price is amazing, very affordable. Tip: I definitely recommend getting an extra serving of the macaroni salad. It's so delicious.

But this guy has ZEROOOOOOOO CUSTOMER SERVICE SKILLS Now the only good thing I can say is that the decor has gotten better and looks a lot better aesthetically. But that all I can say. Food wise it's ok bit problem is that there is 0 customization. Like you are pretty much penalized for doing any customization which is ridiculous and for example if I get a rice bowl it's like 80% of the bowl. So you are paying for an expensive bowl of rice.
