    French fries
    Alejandra D.

    It's a small hole-in the wall spot. They offered your Hawaiian favorites and Chinese food as well. I was only craving french fries, and didn't see them on the menu but I asked if they had them, and they did!!!! They were the thick steak cut fries and came out hot and salted well. My sister enjoyed her meal and it was a casual spot to catch up. Plenty of parking available.

    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!!!!

    Salt and pepper chicken

    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.

    Mini Chicken Katsu
    Chris W.

    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 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.

    Chicken bowl
    Lu Lu S.

    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.

    Menu as of 4/24/2025

    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
    Terrysue T.

    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.

Not only did they fit our budget better than anyone else, but they were incredibly welcoming and easy to work with from day one. They invited us in for a tasting, answered every question we had, and made us feel so confident in our decision. Throughout the planning process, they were unbelievably accommodating. They helped with things like providing plates and a high chair for our nephew, and they even let me make menu changes the week before the wedding after I had a little bridal panic. They never made me feel like I was asking too much and were so kind every step of the way. Then came the food... and wow. It was phenomenal. We had guest after guest tell us it was some of the best wedding food they'd ever had. The tri-tip and chicken were both huge hits, everything was fresh and flavorful, and the service was seamless. Hazy BBQ went above and beyond for us. They made planning easy, took such great care of our guests, and served food that people are still talking about. If you're looking for a caterer that delivers incredible food while treating you like family, look no further. We can't recommend them enough!

I opted in for the garlic bread. When I got my order I was really disappointed. the meat is not flavorful. It is cooked yes but no seasoning on the meat! I was so looking forward to a good bbq place but the food was subpar for me. The only thing that saved it was the bbq sauce. The pulled pork was okay which is why I give them a 2. The beans were also not seasoned well and though it had chunks of brisket I couldn't taste anything (needs salt for sure). Also the cheesy mash was not mixed thoroughly and had a bland taste, there were chunks of hard potatoes mixed in. The garlic bread was hard. The wings were undercooked and were just wings, nothing special and didnt even seem like they were cooked on a grill. I probably won't order from them again. I dont know how the ambiance is or the staff but this was my experience getting the food delivered.

The menu has a variety of ramen, and I had a hard time deciding on Miso or Shoyu Ramen. I went with the Miso and it wasnt a bad choice. The bowl was full of ingredients: pork, fish cake, broiled egg, bean sprouts, corn, green onion and nori. The broth was tasty, although because I dont cook with much salt at home, I noticed a difference right away but it wasnt overly salty. I managed to eat everything, and when I was done, the friendly host brought me some fresh orange slices that were ripe and sweet. Overall, my experience was pleasant. It wasnt overly crowded, perhaps because it was after the lunch hour rush. The dining room is well lit and clean. I will try the Shoyu Ramen next time

The internet was down so it was cash only - which was fine, inconvenient, but not their fault. We ordered with the hostess because their QR code menu wasn't working, probably due to the internet being out. Also fine. We ordered two plates of spicy bulgogi, one order of chicken, and three bowls of rice. The rice was dry, but that's fine because that's not why you go to kbbq. The portions were small, which should have been fine because it's all you can eat. However, we could not get any more service. The manager had taken over taking orders, and we watched her walk past our table multiple times. We watched her service other tables and not hear us try to get her attention. We got the attention of the hostess (with the help of the table next to us, who was also struggling to get any attention) who then said the manager would be right over to us. We never spoke to a manager. We decided to ask for the check instead. I had to step out because my baby was becoming a handful. My husband asked for the check, expressing that paying the full charge for the lack of service or food we received felt disrespectful, and was told the manager could help us. The manager never spoke to him, despite him waiting after the hostess told him again that she would. The only person in our group of three who left satisfied at all had already ate a lunch somewhere else before. My husband and I left hungry and disappointed. Two stars because the hostess was friendly. We will not be back.

Chicken wings 5/5 - We ordered sauce on the side. They were good even without it. The chicken was so juicy, actual chicken juice and not oil. Ribs 4/5 - Tender, would order this again. Brisket 4/5 - Tender, would also order this again. Burnt ends 3/5 - Just meh. Could be just a personal preference though. Tri-tip 2/4 - It was dry and tough. I would skip this next time.
