    Kahlua pig with cabbage
    Richard H.

    Great Hawaiian style food! Kahlua pork, lau lau, Kalbi ribs, spam musubi! I love to have a savory lunch with 2 scoops of rice and their delicious macaroni salad! Their breakfast menu is also great, but they don't open until 11 am. Portuguese sausage (4 generous slices) 2 fried eggsc and rice! If you are interested in catering a party size tray of musubis, be sure to call ahead.

    12/15/25 - Half & Half - Chicken Katsu with Kalbi Ribs (+$2.50)
    Dexter D.

    After a great dinner assembled by another quick service Hawaiian Style Restaurant last week, we were in the mood for more Hawaiian Grindz. We found Hula Wok on yelp. When we arrived, there were two San Ramon Police Officers having lunch inside. Because of the nature of their job, cops know where they can get decent hot food served in a short amount of time. While everyone's taste buds are different, we've had many more positive experiences following their lead than negative. We were greeted upon entering. It took us a minute to figure out what we wanted. Once the order was placed, we were given our drink cup to fill ourselves. I went outside to walk the dog while she stayed inside to wait for the order. Once our order was up, we left and went to the parking lot where we give Princess her monthly bath. Two scoops rice, one scoop mac salad plus our entrees filled the clamshells to the brim. So much so, that neither one of us could finish our orders. The rice was okay, same with the mac salad, although I may have enjoyed it more if it hadn't been packed with the hot foods. She got a seafood combo with Fried White Fish and Prawns. She chose Kalua Pig and Cabbage as her third protein. I got Chicken Katsu and Kalbi Ribs. All of our entrees were on point, hot and flavorful. She got tartar sauce for her fish and i got a sweet tonkatsu sauce for my Katsu. All in all, a good experience. We'll have to come by again to check out their Chinese food.

    Yum! Trio of Musubi

    First time eating here at a table. Food is so good and the portions are a good size - even for the mini plates. Staff is friendly. Food comes out quickly. Establishment is clean. They do a lot of take out orders. When eating here, I wish they used real plates and had real utensils. It's a challenge to eat short ribs using a plastic fork and knife. But that wont stop me from returning. We ordered: Loco Moco Mini Plate BBQ Short Rib Mini Plate Chicken Katsu Plate All Delicious!!!!

    This is one of those small spots that just hits the right spots. I ordered a MINI chicken katsu. And two masubi. By far one of the best non L and L Hawaiian food spots I have ever had. The bbq chicken masubi was amazing as well!

    This is our go-to spot for Hawaiian food. Their bbq is always well- marinated and grilled properly. Today we had two mixed plates: one bbq and the other was seafood and katsu. We also ordered the spicy salt and pepper chicken as an appetizer. Food came out pretty quickly. The mixed plates were good as usual. The salt and pepper chicken wasn't as good which I attributed to a non-sriracha sauce on it. Otherwise their counter service was good, bathrooms were clean, and the food was good.

    This is our go to Hawaiian bbq place. Big portions and can call ahead your order. Chicken and other meats always flavorful. They have a lot of other dishes including Chinese items as well so you will definitely find something you'd like here. Lots of seating if you wanna eat in. Plenty of parking. Their online ordering is a little janky, some typos and so I usually just call in.

    I'm back at it again! This place is in one of our usual take out rotation list. We order from here every other week. The family enjoys it! We usually order an order of bbq beef and another order of chicken katsu and that is more than enough for our family of four, 2 adults and 2 kids. Now the price has increased quite a bit since Covid but they do give you a good amount of food but man $17 for a Togo regular plate of chicken katsu with rice and Mac salad is the same cost if I enjoy a meal sitting down and receiving service. All good I'll still go and pick up my to go and bring it home and enjoy my meal at home.

    So delicious and affordable! We ordered the musubi trio and a half and half chicken katsu/BBQ chicken plate for lunch and the portions were HUGE. The katsu is so crispy and tender, by far the star of the show! The BBQ chicken was flavorful as well. The spam musubi had a lot more rice in the rice to spam ratio, but still very tasty. Best takeout lunch I've had in a while!

    Spam & Kimchi Fried Rice

    I have ordered here many times. My ultimate favorite dish to order is their Spam & Kimchi Fried Rice! So good!! I have also ordered party trays of some of their Hawaiian food from here for a family gathering and they did a great job. Lots of food. Food was good. Everyone loved it.

    some more great Hawaiian food! this location in san ramon has great ambiance, neat inside and good options. i ordered my usual BBQ Mix plate, but this time, added a spam musubi, which was delicious too i had take out, but the picture(s) speak for themselves: great size, delicious protein and a very clean, nice inside view, where i would feel nice to have an inside meal too. value is worthy

    I've tried the best BBQ that Austin, Nashville, Memphis and Atlanta have to offer…read more I've watched "Chef's Table: BBQ" series on Netflix a number of times. I think that Sauced BBQ is as good as any BBQ I've tried throughout the US. This past weekend I traveled across the bay and ordered the Third Rack of Spare Ribs with a side of Potato Salad and Mac n Cheese. The Spare Ribs - were fall of the bone tender. And the meat was so rich and flavorful. The Mac n Cheese is some of the best I've had. And the Potato Salad while it was super good but had way too much mayonnaise. But I'd probably order both again as sides! Now for the not so good. Sauce was out of Burnt Ends. Ugghhhhh! Every time I visit, I've counted on Burnt Ends being available. I understand they are a scarce commodity, but it was disappointing they were not on the menu. That's how good they are! One comment. I don't know who's decision it was to add a video arcade to the restaurant, but I sincerely felt I was in Vegas at a cheap restaurant on the strip. The place is already pretty loud but to add screaming kids and video games seems a bit odd to me. Just seems completely out of place and doesn't add to the strengths of the restaurant - creating the best environment to serve some of the best BBQ in the Bay Area. Matt says check out Sauced after you finish shopping at Nordstrom or Macy's. You'll love the BBQ. Just make sure you are seated opposite from the video arcade.

It was plenty of seating, we actually got to pick where we wanted since it was not busy. Of course since the Warriors were playing we chose right next to a huge screen. So for the food, I'd say they had a pretty good menu. I love sausage links and was a bit disappointed that they don't serve them. So we both went with the 2 meat combo; ribs and brisket & tri tip, not too bad but I've had better. The portion size was good, it was tasty but not hittin like I was anticipating! Then for sides the Mac was pretty good not hot and the beans were yummy. Ummm the cornbread was a bit dry so I think I'll pass on that next time. They have an area with video games which is great for kids to stay occupied too. Also, the restrooms were clean also which is a plus.

The ambience always is great, good music, good crowds, always something to watch for those who just want to kick it and have a drink. The reason for the three star review is that I cant help but notice that the quality and portioning of food has diminished from prior experiences i had here in the past years. To make it worse, prices have only gone up due to inflation. We had the rednexican nachos, burnt ends, sliced brisket ends and fried oreos. The nachos and the fried oreos were great as usual, but the entrees, not so much. The temps were off and the taste was not there, it has not been for the past two visits for us. Not sure if it's the product itself or the preparation of it, but it's just not the same quality i was used to. It's still a good spot to visit, but I wouldn't recommend it as a go to BBQ spot in the Livermore area.
