    Meat combo plate
    Kelly H.

    This place is pretty good for the price if you're ever craving Hawaiian food! It's very similar to L&L Hawaiian BBQ. It's also a lot closer than having to drive all the way to Marysville for Hawaiian food. The portions are generous and each meal comes with sides and a free drink! The inside is pretty casual and designed for quick dining. The staff are also friendly.

    #3.Hawaiian BBQ Mixed Plate w/ Spam Musubi
    Frank J.

    Absolutely worth the price of admission!!! Juicy chicken and beef, along with the macaroni salad, just... CHEF'S KISS!! Cannot recommend this place enough, everything is good, my boys especially love the Spam Musubi (I mean, who doesn't?!). Everything we've ever ordered is delicious and have not had one bad thing ever. I know, I know, I'm gushing and hyping this place but I think it deserves to be a definite "Must Try" on your list. Happy eating, -Fj

    Malasada
    Generous Y.

    I'm a sucker for value and Island Hawaiian BBQ might be the definition of value. The photo of the family pack and malasadas really spoke to me, so I ordered the same. Leftovers for days! Reminds me of the Hawaiian drive in spots that serve up affordable, heaping portions. Came to pick up my order and they offered me a drink which I thought was super considerate. I didn't have hands so didn't take them up on the offer, but that left a strong first impression. I also really appreciated the low carb options, definitely a solid spot after a gym session or for some protein. Small Family Pack - six heaping scoops of rice, mac salad, a side of fries, and then tons of meat. The chicken katsu was solid, breading was on the softer side but still tasty. Slightly on the dryer side but comes with lots of katsu sauce. Was tasty without sauce, as long as a bev was close by. BBQ beef was juicy and delicious with the sweet marinade. BBQ chicken was the leaner option to balance out options, providing high protein. Chicken could be more tender but wasn't too rough and plenty of teriyaki sauce provided. Malasada - under a dollar per malasada, these weren't out of this world, but still tasty (after all, it's just fried dough). Dough was fluffy and soft on the inside with a great crispy outside. Good amount of sugar coating, but I think they bounced around during transport so some inconsistency.

    3. Hawaiian BBQ Mixed Plate
    Robert S.

    Came here for lunch after driving by this place multiple times. I've been looking for a good Hawaiian place because the others I've tried just weren't very good or had small portions. This place really packs the food enough for two meals! That is what I was looking for! Got the bbq mix combo with white rice and macaroni salad. The plate was delicious! Especially with the katsu sauce they have. They also had a free fountain drink with purchase as well! The food took a bit to come out which is great because you can hear the grill in the kitchen. Definitely will be back to try other combos!

    This place is very similar to L&L Hawaiian BBQ, both in menu and cooking style. For those from Hawaii, you'll love the katsu with the Hawaii style katsu sauce which is sweeter than the Japanese version, and my favorite of the two. They are the only ones that do Hawaii style garlic chicken so I'll be back here to get my fix. The portion sizes are very generous and the cost is incredibly reasonable. Will definitely be back to try out some other dishes.

    As a Hawaii native, I can confidently say that Island Hawaiian Barbecue serves up the most authentic Hawaiian food I've found on the mainland. Every bite transports me right back to the islands - these flavors are the real deal, not some watered-down mainland interpretation of Hawaiian cuisine. The portion sizes are absolutely generous. You definitely get your money's worth here, and then some. What really sets this place apart is their outstanding customer service. Tonight we ordered takeout again, It's clear that the owners prioritize taking care of their customers - it's that genuine aloha spirit that makes all the difference. Every family meal from here ordered on UberEats feels like home, which is exactly what you'd expect from authentic Hawaiian hospitality. And let's talk about the prices - they're phenomenal! You're getting restaurant-quality, authentic Hawaiian food at prices that beat most fast food chains. The value here is unbeatable. Pictured is the small family meal, there's a lot of food... we ordered the same thing tonight. While I haven't had the chance to dine in at the actual location yet (I've been ordering delivery/takeout), the food quality speaks for itself. I do want to visit to get a feel for the ambiance (I'll update when i do!) If you're craving authentic Hawaiian barbecue with huge portions, friendly service, and incredible prices, Island Hawaiian Barbecue is your spot. Mahalo to the owners for bringing a taste of the islands to our community!

    Plastics containers are used for dine-in - not a good practice IMO.
    Fen F.

    Eco-conscience is not a priority for this new restaurant. They use plastic containers for both dine in and take out. Our party of 3 ordered various entrees and apparently the kitchen did not mark them. I observed 4 people at the front counter opening and closing each container numerous times. It appeared the staff were still trying to figure things out after 1 month. They eventually set them on a tray with napkins and plastic utensils. This was slightly redundant since there was a counter with sauces, utensils, and napkins so most guests (like us) thought we had to help ourselves. The teriyaki sauce was very watery. The food was ok. I liked the red bean sesame balls. Nice that they offered free fountain drinks. The plastic containers and wasted unused utensils did not sit well with us. We will not return.

    Mochiko Chicken Mini
    Pat F.

    We tried this new location Friday night. Really great staff and very friendly. Surprised that I left my change for a tip. Probably not a big tip kind of neighborhood but wanted to show my aloha. On that though they were not so hip to some pigeon slang for praise just nice young Asian folks. I ordered mochiko chicken (my usual lit ness test of a Hawaiian place is Saimin but I changed up). My wife ordered bbq beef. Both the mini variety which was plenty with a tad of leftovers for us. The chicken really tender juicy with a nice breading finish. Her beef was good however a bit dry but that's what happens to thin sliced beef cooked this way. The Mac salad was good but not "the best". Kim chee side was good however small. This is a great setup that should do well at very affordable prices! They included free Hawaiian juices which was a surprise! I usually buy these cans to drink at the beach after free diving to rinse my mouth of salt water but goes good with this food. I wouldn't call this the best ever but a very clean nice well run option in this area! We will be back this summer in the way to the Muk ferry for sure to try other dishes!

    Yayyyy! So happy to discover a close by Hawaiian place for lunch near my work place. :) Came here with my coworker for lunch and we left stuffed and food coma out. Located in a strip mall area, this place is pretty easy to find. Parking is aplenty and service was pretty quick! Things to note: Food Options: A nice variety of food and combos! Stamp card: If you order the plates options, you can collect stamps to get that next free meal :) Food: Tried the Portuguese sausage musabi and the garlic chicken. Musabi was very tasty with a light gravy like texture sauce. ---As for the garlic chicken, love how crunchy the chicken pieces were! Sauce came separate but wasn't as garlicky as I thought it would be. Mac salad = yum yum and honestly, couldn't finish half of my portion since it was filling and big. ---Had a chance to sample the kahlua pork bowl and overall, it was tasty with a slightly saltier and charred flavor. Can't wait to come back again and try out more new dishes!

    Togo bbq mixed plate
    Paul A.

    We ordered Togo. To me, the Kalbi was too salty. The portion was good. Lots of meats (mixed grills).

    Large low carb plate with scrambled eggs
    Meekyung J.

    Ordered Large size low carb plate. It consisted of... - 3 large pan fried eggs - 3 large chicken thighs --very tender and nicely grilled. - beef --little too salty and dry for my taste - 2 short rib --tender and juicy and NOT burnt! On a bed of cabbage Nice, bright inviting atmosphere. I am glad good new restaurants are opening up in Everett!

    Kalua Pork
    Elise P.

    I came in here around 4:30 on a Saturday, it was like I witnessed the calm before the storm. I ordered with no problem before people started coming in and out, ordering lots of food. As a first timer, that gave me good vibes and showed how many people liked it. I got to try an assortment of different things (pictured) and really enjoyed them. I would definitely recommend their garlic chicken (fried.) The woman at the counter who took my order was very sweet, I was grateful her kindness and patience as my friend and I figured out our order. When I left, the staff thanked me for coming in. I really appreciated how friendly they were. I can't wait for them to open up a location in Lynnwood!

We ordered the 4 Meats and 4 Sides Meal for 4 to 6 plus 2lbs of Pork Ribs. See our pictures to see what we picked up. We liked how the items were separated with foil. Hot items were hot and cold items were cold, as expected. We were asked if we needed plastic ware or plates, which we did not. They still put in plenty of napkins and some wet wipes. The food? Pork Spare Ribs - 5 - Nice smokey flavor and very tender. Really didn't need sauce but we had plenty of mild and spicy on hand. Links - 5 - Good textures and excellent flavors. They gave us both flavors because they had run out of the one we ordered. Yay for us! Chicken Thighs - 5 - Thick, meaty, juicy thighs. Tri-tip - 5 - Very tender. Beef Brisket - 4 - I forgot to ask for "Juicy" and some of our slices were on the drier side. That's my bad. Smashed Potato Salad - 5 - Excellent! Cole Slaw - 5 - As expected. Cowboy Caviar - 5 - I don't remember trying this before so I don't know how it compares to that of others, but we liked it just fine. Would we order it again? Maybe but I missed having Mac & Cheese too. Collards - 4 - Tender but a tad salty on the back end for me. We had plenty of leftovers after dinner, so we boiled some asparagus, toasted some Hawaiian Rolls, fried some eggs, air fried some hash browns and reheated some of the meats for breakfast. Mmmm!

    Let me tell you about Lew's BBQ. Or as my husband and I now call it BBQ from the Loo. And before…read moreyou ask yes. It earned that name. Every single letter of it. This place had every opportunity to be the holy grail of down-home BBQ. The kind of spot you drag yourself to when you're too lazy to fire up your own grill but still want to feel like a person with standards. Instead it delivered something far more memorable: profound disappointment wrapped in a paper napkin. The potential was there. The execution? Somewhere between 'bless their heart' and 'what in the actual hell.' We drove from Sultan for this. SULTAN. On a Wednesday. Like optimistic idiots with functioning taste buds and unreasonable hope. We walked in at 3pm to a dining room so empty it felt like a crime scene missing the chalk outline. Not 'peaceful Wednesday afternoon' empty. Not 'hidden gem that hasn't been discovered yet' empty. More like 'did someone die here' empty. The kind of empty that should've been a sign. It was a sign. We ignored it. Now. The meat. OH. THE MEAT. Buried under sauce and not in a 'this is so fire we had to' way. More of a 'if we cover it completely maybe God won't see what we did' situation. Spoiler: God saw. WE saw. The meat was dry lifeless and deeply confused about what year it was. That BBQ had the energy of someone who already put their coat on to leave the party an hour ago but somehow ended up on your plate anyway. The whole meal arrived in to-go containers with plastic forks. Plastic. Forks. The kind that bend before the meat does. I mentioned I'd take leftovers to go. I did not mean 'serve my entire dine-in experience like a sad airport meal.' Nothing says 'welcome to our restaurant' like eating off disposable everything while sitting in an actual building with actual chairs. Now here's where it gets spiritual. A mystery cup of mac and cheese appeared at our table. Uninvited. Unannounced. Like an uninvited relative at Thanksgiving. We thought how sweet! A little gesture! A sample! The universe providing! Narrator: The universe was charging $3.95. That mac and cheese which based on its journey to our table had clearly seen some things. Wasn't terrible but wasn't exceptional. Showed up on the bill. For four bites of mediocre mac that nobody ordered. A complimentary charge. And THEN like the plot needed one more twist when you go to pay on the counter there's a handwritten sign informing you of a $2 per plate/platter upcharge for 'product costs.' No prices on the menu. None. This isn't a scavenger hunt Lew. We're not on a BBQ treasure map. We're hungry people who would like to know what things cost before we eat them. The bill: $95. NINETY. FIVE. DOLLARS. For reheated meat, collard greens and a mac and cheese I did not order but apparently spiritually owed. I still tipped $10. Not out of satisfaction. Out of the deep social paralysis that will haunt me until I die. Look I want Black-owned soul food spots to WIN. Full stop. I am ROOTING for you Lew. But you cannot hide dry confused reheated meat under enough sauce to drown a brisket charge $95 for the experience. You cannot. BBQ from the Loo. I drove from Sultan for this. I will not be back. But I WILL be telling everybody.
