Hungry Hawaiian - Hawaiian Near Me - Woods Cross, Utah

This place was affordable and great quality Hawaiian food! I got the chicken katsu and pulled pork. Both were cooked appropriately -- the katsu had a fried, crispy exterior with a moist, tender chicken on the inside. The pulled pork was moist and tender as well. The spam musubi was also good! I would recommend against the Kalbi ribs - they're not true kalbi ribs but rather the beef from the teriyaki beef with a kalbi sauce. Would come back again! read more

We LOVE Hungry Hawaiian! Food is always fresh and flavorful and service is fast. I love a consistent restaurant! I also love how close it is to my house. If I were the only one making dinner choices I'd probably eat here weekly. I've had everything and everything is good! read more

Started recently frequenting this place. Guy who opened the place has developed his own sauce that is amazing on everything he serves, this is a regular takeout place for us at least once a month read more

They brought their food truck to our wedding and everybody loved them! The event was way out of town, but everything was ready, fresh & delicious. They were super accommodating to our guests' special requests. They even had veggie bowls for the non-meat eaters. We're still getting great comments from our guests. Highly recommend for your next event. read more

Based only on one visit but I was not all that impressed. Okay. I was impressed w the guava cake, super fruity. Aside from that I felt it was all average. The Mac salad did have peas and carrots but pretty plain. The katsu chicken was pretty disappointing. It was pounded thin and overcooked. The breading was probably thicker than the chicken itself. I would go back to try something else if katsu isn't their thing but I'd rather hit one of the other Hawaiian places a few miles away. read more

Food was good. The katsu was a little over done but the portions were good and the flavor was good. The service made me feel like taking an order was a burden. The person receiving orders seemed like they rather be anywhere else. Cups were held against their clothing and grabbed by their hands right at the rim (no straws with the cup) . We were starting to get bagged up for takeout even though we were sitting at a booth already. I've had amazing food and service with the food truck but the brick and mortar let me down. read more

I really wanted to like this place. I've driven past frequently and never had the chance to stop in until tonight. I got the teriyaki beef, vegetables and Mac salad. My husband the kalua pig, teriyaki chicken, Mac salad and rice. Since they were out of guava cake we got an order of malasadas. My first bite of broccoli was straight garlic. It was barely parboiled-so next to raw-but had been swimming in the sauce from the beef and almost choked me. Nothing that I ordered should have any garlic in it which is why I was so startled. Sadly nothing got better from there. The Mac salad had also been swimming in the sauce and was like eating raw garlic. The beef was okay. Nothing to write home about. My husband was equally unimpressed with his meal. The kalua pig was dry and bland. His chicken wasn't garlicky-he actually said it was good! Something redeeming! His mac salad was just as garlicky as my whole meal was. His rice soaked up the pool of teriyaki sauce which he enjoyed. The malasadas tasted like they were fried in the same oil as the Katsu chicken. Luckily we have little kids so we didn't have to toss the whole large box of them--they'll eat anything coated in sugar. I'm not a fan of the chain Hawaiian places but I'd eat at mo' bettas before coming here again. read more

The food was great!! The chicken was juicy and loaded with flavor, I didn't have to add any extra sauce to it except for some sriracha. The staff was great, very friendly, and had a big smile the whole time. Overall this is my now goto Hawaiian food read more

Amazing food! All of their food is amazing. The service is also amazing! When I was there it was just one guy working and he seemed a little tired like he wanted to go home but that's understandable. He was still very nice. read more

My daughter got the teriyaki chicken plate lunch from this food truck today. She raved about how amazing it was after every bite. She did say the macaroni salad was a bit rich for her. The employee wore a mask and was super friendly, engaging my kids in conversation for awhile. Fast service too. read more

Hungry Hawaiian - Teriyaki chicken plate lunch - Hawaiian Near Me - Woods Cross, Utah

The food was flavorful and mouthwatering!! If I closed my eyes, I felt like I was eating a plate lunch in Hawai'i! The kalua pig tasted like it pulled out from an imu (Hawaiian underground oven) and the teriyaki sauce was perfection on the moist and tender chicken. The sides of rice and Mac salad completed this scrumptious feast! Traditional Hawaiian flavors elevated! As we ate, the owner/chef Keni came out to check on us and he was very kind and welcoming! You can't help but feel like ohana with his warm Aloha spirit! We LOVED the amazing food and enjoyed the ambience but next time I've gotta pace myself so I leave room for the guava cake! read more

Broke da mouth!!!! While en route to downtown SLC on a recent visit, I stumbled onto Keni's spot after seeing the great Yelp reviews. I've lived off island for nearly four years now, so anytime I'm here I make sure to get my Polynesian fix. My first visit to the Hungry Hawaiian was so amazing, I returned again on my way to the airport! HH so much better than other Hawaiian spots I've tried on previous visits--not only is the food more authentic, but Keni is funny, friendly, and pono. He definitely made me feel like I was back in the islands. On Day One, I had the two-meat plate--teriyaki chicken and kalua pork with white rice and a very ono mac salad. Keni says this salad, which doesn't skimp on flavor with its extra pepper and chunky veggies (peas and carrots), is his dad's recipe. (His dad just happens to be first cousin to the legendary surfer Eddie Aikau to boot!) The chicken is perfectly cooked, the sauces are terrific, and the pork was salty and melt-in-your-mouth delish. On Day Two, I came back for the incredible malasadas, which are Portuguese donuts with the most amazing guava dipping sauce. Helpful hint: If you take these malasadas to work or a party (or to the kind folks at the rental car return or airport), you will be the talk of the town! I made so many peoples' day from the car-rental drop off to security with those addicting fried pillows of heaven. If you know Leonard's in Honolulu, I guarantee you these will NOT disappoint, especially on a cold drizzly day like today. In addition to the malasadas, it was also my lucky day...Keni had lau lau pork (traditional leaf-wrapped protein) AND poi! It doesn't get much more authentic than dis! The best part? When I finally got to the airport after dropping the rental car, I went through security with my plate lunch and totally forgot about the poi, which is a thick dipping "sauce" made from taro. Guess what? The poi was so thick that TSA didn't even question it! Ha! Keni's place is warm and inviting with bright colors and Hawaiian music playing in the background (he has created his own playlist on Spotify, so check it out). They've only been open a few months but already have a loyal following and they also cater (definitely recommend HH for your next celebration!). I'm going to keep referring to this place as the Happy Hawaiian because not only is Keni one of the nicest guys around, but also, this food makes you, your soul, and your belly SO HAPPY! Check it out! read more

Hungry Hawaiian - Lau Lau and Teri chicken... Yum! - Hawaiian Near Me - Woods Cross, Utah

Decent food. I can't get over the expectation of tipping for just dishing food there. Turn the monitor around and stare as it's already set at 20%. Food is ok as there aren't too many Hawaiian options around here, read more

Food was a struggle to eat. Love to try different places for lunch but this place is at the bottom of places to eat.

Just ordered via DoorDash since I can't get away for lunch today. I ordered a chicken teriyaki rice bowl, no chicken, extra veggies. They filled my order just as requested and included a full serving of Tofu just to let me know it was an option. It's rare to have people care enough to do something like this and it's so appreciated. Amazing service. And the food is fresh and delicious, right down my alley! read more

Hungry Hawaiian - Hawaiian Near Me - Woods Cross, Utah

I came to their food truck during an event in bountiful. Order chicken teriyaki platter and kalua pork plate . Food tasted fresh . Pork was well seasoned , tender . The same applies to the chicken. Meat was not dry ( I refuse to use the word moist haha) . Not overly spiced . I'm not usually a fan of teriyaki sauce , but it came with the chicken and definitely tasted different. sides of rice and potato salad were also good. Portions were generous and priced right. I would definitely be back . read more

The food was great I had the hamburger steak and the beef. The service was great as well definitely would recommend trying this place out and supporting a local business. read more

Flavorful. That would be the one word description I would use for their food. Well, ono kaukau also works but that's not one word. Portion side is up to kanaka standards. My only negative would be that they don't have poi anymore. Something about their supplier. May I recommend Aloha Aina Poi Co. on Kauai. Which also means I need to order from them now. The real test would be to try out the malasadas on my next visit. Nothing like fresh ones, better than having to order them from Leonard's. read more

This is just about the best Hawaiian food you can have outside of Hawaii. They have amazing sauce, which just blends beautifully with their deliciously cooked beef. On thing to definitely need to get is their Spam Musubi, it's one of the best bites of Musubi I have ever had. They have a very nice owner named Kenny, he is always fun to talk to. read more

Outstanding customer service and quality Hawaiian food. We enjoy all the meat orders, our favorites are chicken katsu, beef, and teriyaki chicken. We typically get two orders of the 2 meat plates. It can feed up to six people. We also enjoy the spam masubi. We always get two orders as well! My 4 year old really loves it! read more

My cousins and I came to a food truck event in West Jordan and Hungry Hawaiian was there that day. We were in for a treat. We all love Hawaiian food. My cousin's fiancé is Hawaiian and he's introduced us to the best food. Not only was the food amazing, the service was friendly. You can never go to a Hawaiian person's house without feeling like family even if you just met them. The owner of the truck was awesome. We got the teriyaki chicken plate and it was great. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the teriyaki sauce, not to sweet, not to salty. I personally love Mac salad, so that made my tummy happy too. If you are ever in an area where the Hungry Hawaiian food truck is at, treat yourself. read more

I love this place, the food is always excellent and Keni and his staff are so friendly. Keep up the good work!

I have only been to Hungry Hawaiian's once and it sure gave me such a great first impression! I was craving a spam musubi, and so I got just that, and wow! Just wow! It is some of the best musubi I've ever had!!! But it doesn't end there, the friendly Hawaiian atmosphere right when you enter the door is definitely there. You are greeted with an Aloha and taken care of right off the bat. Even though there was a line (during lunch period), they made sure to tell you how long the wait would be and greet you. We literally live down the street and can't wait to walk there during the summer time to try more of their food! All of it looks super yummy and at a great price point as well. Can't beat that when you're craving Hawaiian food, while walking to the park! read more

Friendly place, I stopped in for lunch, the menu is very small, just three meats and a couple of ways to order them. Drinks come in a can or bottle, no free tap water or ice. I was wasting the woman's time at the front counter asking many questions, she was very kind and helpful. I ended up ordering the beef combo and sense I had so many questions about the different meats she gave me a small sample of each with my meal (see photo). My opinion; the beef is the bomb! Chicken good, pulled pork good. The macaroni salad is really good, flavored just right. Plenty of teriyaki sauce in squirt bottles to use. The rice was cooked perfect. I guess she noticed that having to pay for a bottle water kinda got my shorts in a bundle she kindly said this bottle was on the house, next time ill bring my own water. The place is a bit hard to see behind all the trees, they had their food truck parked in the parking lot and I still didn't see it driving by. For ten bucks or so you have a big meal and maybe a little leftover. Good food! read more

Amazing flavors, great price, and quick service. The teriyaki beef and chicken were so tender and cooked to perfection. I will definitely be coming back here! read more

Greeted with the typical Aloha Spirit. The menu was thin so expectations were high. Ordered the Two meat plate Kalua Pua`a, Teri Beef and a side of SPAM Musubi. Dig into the Mac salad, something different than the norm, take another bite......WHAT! Cuz put furikake in the mix. It broke da mouf. They even put some on the musubi. The pork was flavorful and tender, the Teri Beef was like any other. Large portions were nice, Hawaiian Sun prices through the roof so I drank the water I brought. @justpadge_eats read more

Hungry Hawaiian - Hawaiian Near Me - Woods Cross, Utah

This review is for the FOOD TRUCK only. I have not been to their B&M location. Hungry Hawaiian offers what I would easily consider the best Hawaiian food in this state. I haven't been to a LOT of them and can only really compare with Mo bettahs and the like, but I'll be damned if Hungry Hawaiian isn't on a completely different level. The food didn't feel heavy or greasy. It tastes like high quality. It tastes fresh. That mac salad could wake the dead. Delicious. I ordered the teri chicken plate and could not have been happier. 10/10 would eat here again. read more

I tried the house teriyaki sauce at my home last night. They sell that secret sauce by the bottle now! It was amazing to enjoy that treasure over in my neck of the woods in Sandy. That will get me through until I can catch their food truck or head up to woods cross. You really ought to try it! In a word Yum! read more

This place is an amazing find. Whether or not you've ever had Hawaiian food come check this place out. Homemade Poi and Malasada's. Amazing food read more

Was unexpectedly home from work during a weekday and decided to stop by for lunch so I could try this place that had been on my radar for a while. There were a few people ahead of me and when I ordered I was told that it might be a bit longer as what was ordered ahead of me takes a little extra time to prepare. I was not in a hurry so this was fine with me. Also, I really appreciate being given a heads up so I can set my expectations. The wait passed by quickly and also let me remember that I wanted to try the cake so I ordered a slice of that as well. My meal was the Teri Chicken Bow. Lots of rice, broccoli, carrots, and chicken. I poured some extra sauce on top because hey, I love sauce. The cake was a nice way to end my meal. I would definitely come back! read more

Typically quick Hawaiian bbq place. I got a two meet plater, the beef was tender and well seasoned. The pulled pork was also tender, but I added some additional teriyaki to get it to my flavor profile. The place is hard to see from the road. I have driven this road several times and have never seen it. If it was not for Yelp I would have continued passing it by. That said if you are looking for a quick tasty bite, this would be a good option. read more

You can't go wrong with aloha spirit infused into the delectable dishes at Hungry Hawaiian. Keni's teriyaki sauce* is hands down the best I've had since moving to the mainland. It is the secret behind the best spam musubi in town not to mention he goes the extra mile by sprinkling furikake. The latest addition to the menu, Loco Moco (fried egg on top of hamburger with brown gravy) is lip-smacking delicious. I hate to keep using superlatives, but Hungry Hawaiian is honestly the next best thing to being in Hawai'i. Heck, Keni's macaroni salad is what my mom would call the "deluxe kine." You know, the kind you would make to impress your friends at a potluck. It is better than the famous plate lunch places I used to go in Honolulu. I would recommend getting the three-meat plate to start with so you won't have to choose. The teriyaki beef is tender and sliced into easy to eat pieces, the kalua pua'a (pork) melts in your mouth, and the teriyaki chicken is flavorful. It doesn't matter what you choose, it is all so ono-licious. My kids and grandkids feel like we're back home whenever we eat at Hungry Hawaiian. The generous portions and affordable prices make it our family favorite. Don't forget to save room for Hungry Hawaiian's delightful guava chiffon cake! * You can buy his terrific teriyaki sauce now. They make great presents that people can really appreciate. read more

First, this is a great family-owned business. I came in after a large group of 12 and they got my food first before the large group since I was by myself! AMAZING SERVICE! The dad is the cook and the daughter does the rest. I've been to their competitors, MoBettas, numerous times and I can honestly say that the Pork and Beef here is FARR tastier, more flavorful, and just out of his Park better than MoBettas. Will be coming back again! read more

Small family restaurant. The husband cooks, the wife cashiers and serves, and their little girl provides entertainment. $6 for a chicken teriyaki bowl is a great deal. Food was great, sauce is amazing, and the macaroni is my favorite. read more

Food is maybe 4 stars (I'm from Seattle where our bar is set higher - this is definitely 5 stars for Utah food as far as taste goes) But, the people are great and deserve your business. I would order here again. read more

Called for a pickup order of Family Dinner special: about 2# of Kalua pig, teriyaki chicken, sticky rice, broccoli florets + more teriyaki sauce than I'll ever use. I arrived shortly before my pickup time, but the order was ready for me to take home. I'd asked about the possibility of getting poi with my order, but was told no poi available in Utah. Could be flown in with a couple of weeks notice, but that bit of Hawaiian authenticity wouldn't be part of our meal. Good food. I don't know how it compares to that of the other purveyors of this ethnic food in Utah. I'd have to order them side-by-side to find out, and just wanted a meal -- not a research project. Others are fast-food joints, with everything on a steam table for speed and convenience. This place has a kitchen. Clearly, I don't expect Kalua pig to be cooked-to-order. But this didn't have the appearance (or taste or mouth-feel -- whatever that is) of something that had been sitting out for too long. After all that, the meal did take me back to my time in the Islands. And that was sufficient. read more
