It's freaking Jollibee. Fried chicken. Mashed potatos. Spaghetti. Gravy. Honestly, my only complaint is due to the slow service. It took almost 30 minutes for my spicy chicken bucket. I guess they don't keep spicy chicken available as much? I found myself waiting for my mobile order chicken much longer than I had hoped. Order in advance! read more

I enjoyed their fried chicken. They used dark meat vs white and it was juicy. I also had their "puncit" and it was so so. read more

Whenever I go to Jollibee, I just ordered one kind of meal at "Angus Aloha Burger Deluxe" - I mean every time! Service is great because staff are always smiling. Tho it is sad there's no dining but still my first choice when going to Ala Moana. read more

Puts the Meh in Manila. Great service, and the combo seemed like a good deal (coming with a yummy peach mango pie). I also appreciated that they had an efficient, dedicated area for people waiting for their food, nice servers, beeper, and the instragram photo op... But, I am not sure why I had to wait 20 minutes for cold, flavorless fries and chicken remnants. My wife got chicken (plus cole slaw and toast) from a competitor steps away and her tenders were fatter and juicy. Mine were dry and skinny, more breading than chicken. They weren't tenders. They were tinders. Swipe left. read more

I ordered the 3 piece chicken tenders and it was not good.... the wait took awhile and the chicken tasted very awful. I don't know what type of coating or butter they use, but it tastes very cheaply made and does not taste like chicken. Their mango pie and french fries were ok. I like their pineapple juice though. Would not go back here again (maybe only for their pineapple juice), there are much better chicken places elsewhere. read more

They could describe everything with one single word. You know, like-fried chicken, gnarly. The Katseye x Jollibee collab is wild in the best way. That two-piece chicken? Crispy, saucy, and bold enough to make me say oh my god is this real. It's giving gang, gang energy with every bite; Sweet heat, crunchy skin, and flavor that doesn't hold back. This EYEKONic meal doesn't just slap-it sings. Na-na-na-na-na-gnarly. read more

I tried Jollibee for the first time. I LOOOOVED the gravy!! Chicken was really crispy, and was perfect with a little bit of rice and gravy. I wasn't huge fan of the spaghetti. It wasn't anything too special imo. Both the korean sauce and the original chicken were delicious. If you get nothing else, get the gravy!! read more

My husband wanted Chick-fil-A so we went there to order it and then I came here to Jollibee because I've always wanted to try their chicken. Whenever I passed by, there was always a long line so something must be special, right?! Today was my lucky day because there was no one in line so I walked up to the counter and informed the worker that this was my first time so I had a few questions. She answered me but didn't show any patience and I felt like she wanted me to hurry and order. As I was looking at the menu on what to order, she mentioned that I would have to stand in line. I looked back and saw a few people but told her when I walked to the counter, I was the only one in line. A guy next to me overheard our convo and confirmed that I was first and he was next. I gave her my order but was annoyed at her attitude...I should've walked away and ordered at Chick-fil-A. I thought the chicken was nothing special, pricey for 2 pieces of chicken and a small scoop of mashed potato with gravy for $9.99. I hope that Jollibee teaches their workers to be helpful especially to customers patronizing them for the first time. Service is one of the most important things to practice and with all the chicken competition like Raising Cane's and Chick-fil-A at the food court, you'd want your customers to return. read more

I've had a bite of their spaghetti back in the day and tried some of their fried chicken at a potluck but I've never actually ordered from Jollibee. Due to many random targeted videos that popped up on my feed recently, I decided to finally go check them out. I went to the Ala Moana location around noon on a weekday and the place had a line! I couldn't believe it and it was long. One of their employees walks customer to customer to take their order. They hand write your order on a Post It then hand it to you to hand to the cashier when you finally reach the cashier. It seems that everyone knew what they were going to order. When she got to me, I had to look at the menu she had on hand. She was helpful and guided me through the menu so I could order. Here's what I ordered: Fried Chicken - probably the best item on their menu. As much as I like spicy, I sort of liked their regular fried chicken more. Palabok - this dish was ok. I was told to mix everything up well including mashing the egg into it. The lemon juice definitely was a nice addition to bring acidity it. Mashed Potatoes w/Gravy - this was also ok but the extra gravy is nice to dip pieces of the fried chicken in. I would get this over the Palabok personally. Adobe Rice - I wasn't a huge fan of this as it was rather plain. It lacked flavor for me and I won't order this again. Spicy Chickenwich - this was pretty good and better than I expected. The chicken was fried well where it wasn't oily and still juicy. Peach Mango Pie - their Ube Pie was what I wanted but they didn't have it so I ordered their Peach Mango pie. I personally didn't care for it much and won't order it again. It was a great cultural experience for me to finally check out Jollibee. I think I'll just stick to restaurants that offer Filipino food going forward. Jollibee is not my cup of tea. The bucket of fried chicken might be something I would bring to a potluck but Jollibee is an easy option for Filipino "fast food". read more

Jollibee - First ever order from Jollibee! - Chicken Shop Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I decided to finally try out Jolibee after months of putting it off. I always come to Ala Moana and pass by the Jolibee in the 1st floor food court, but never thought anything of it. Until I decided to make good on that in an October 2025 visit. Jolibee Ala Moana is always crazy and often boasts a long line. When I was there, I had to wait about 15 minutes in line to get to the register. First impressions is that it was certainly popular and had to wait to order. It was about a 30 minute experience. 15 minutes to wait to get to the counter and 15 minutes waiting for my order to be ready. I ended up getting the 6 piece fried chicken bucket for around $20.00, which was a decent deal. Most fried chicken in Hawaii is around $2 or $3 per piece. And so, I decided to just finally find out. After ordering, I walked a few steps to the waiting area. Waited about 10 minutes before my order was ready and walked into the crowded food court seating area to eat. I ended up getting drinks from Jack In the Box nearby. For the most part though, the experience was basic fast food with a long wait, but as it turned out the chicken was top shelf. I couldn't believe that. A level above Popeyes, but that's just me. The overall experience here at Jolibee's at Ala Moana shopping center could be quantified as being typical fast food counter service, like McDonald's or Burger King. While I wanted to specifically sample the fried chicken that day, there were other items on the menu that seemed to warrant some looking into, but that's for another visit. Just thought I'd finally try out their fried chicken. While the prices were on par with other restaurants that offer fried chicken, Jolibee does it better, especially how they season it and how the meat is moist under the breading after they fry it. That's how you do fried chicken for reals. The service here was typical, but the service could be improved, since how popular they are. If you are in the area and craving fried chicken, consider coming to Jolibee's and compare what you've been missing all along. Definitely recommended it if you feel tired from the places you get your fried chicken fix. Consider this a great opportunity to jazz it up. Jolibee at Ala Moana shopping center is located in the 1st floor food court, nearby is Hagen Daz ice cream and Jack in the Box. It's pretty cute how they have the waiting area, but it sucks that the wait can be more than 5 minutes. It's physically located at 1450 Ala Moana Boulevard, Honolulu. They accept major credit cards as well as cash. As far as parking goes, there's literally a lot of parking at Ala Moana shopping center. Choose a spot that's close enough to where you can order and pick up. Not sure if they have mobile ordering though. If you are like me, best bet would be to find bus routes that terminate at Ala Moana shopping center, which is a lot of them. And if you need to, Uber or Lyft is at your service as well. I've probably found the hidden gem when it comes to commercially available fried chicken. The holy grail of perfect heat and seasoning and moist meat underneath is always welcomed and cherished. If you're in the area, consider coming here. 5.0 stars for the overall experience. The wait was worth the effort. Support local! A+ read more

Located in the Makai Food Court. Fast service and accurate order. We had the Angus Deluxe Burger + Fries w/ Pineapple Quencher & 3Pc Chicken Tenders + Mashed Potatoes + Ube Pie. It was the first time I ordered fries, but next time I'm ordering mashed potatoes! The Angus burger deluxe with the lettuce and tomato was so worth it! read more

This past weekend, I tried Jollibee food for the first time, and I was more than satisfied! I had their 2-piece Chickenjoy w/ a 2-piece Burger Steak with Mushroom Gravy, 1 Side dish (Mashed Potatoes) & 1 Drink (Pineapple Chiller), with their Peach/Mango pie for dessert. And everything was delicious! Helpful hint: I highly recommend that you order ahead on the Jollibee app. When I arrived, there were quite a few people waiting to pick up their food, and I was able to bypass the line, pick up my order, and then go. The ambiance was clearly-casual. It IS Filipino fast food, after all, with sit-down dining available in the Ala Moana's Makai Market Food Court. For what I paid for, I enjoyed my meal and I look forward to eating here again! read more

That was the best food I've ever had. The 2 piece with spaghetti was amazing. Go there now and get it

Not bad fast food fried chicken. Got moist, crunchy chicken, albeit the skin had a slightly greasy aftertaste. But the brown gravy goes good with the chicken. Adobo fried rice was heavy on the garlic, but I suppose some people prefer it this way. So something different from KFC and Popeyes... and between these 3, Jollibee falls in the middle of the pack (behind Popeyes). read more

Absolutely phenomenal fried chicken! Have never had fried chicken as delicious as Jollybee's! Comes with gravy but in my opinion, it doesn't need it! So juicy and flavorful all by itself! The staff are friendly when taking your order. The wait is pretty short even though they take lots of orders during the lunch hour! read more

Their chicken and gravy are so good! Most of the times the Chicken came out hot and crispy, but a few times they were not and that didn't taste so good. I love their gravy that goes really well with the chicken and how they gave me a spoon to scoop the gravy too! The wait time varied. Sometimes it's really quick but sometimes the wait would be 15-20 mins. It's one of the best fried chicken you would taste so if you've never tried jollibee, do it! read more

Jollibee - First time trying palabok. It's not bad but I can't finish it coz it wasn't lukewarm and kinda greasy but good to try. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

My first time trying jollibee & I loved the chicken! 10/10 for the spicy chicken! It was fresh, hot , crunchy & delicious! Dip it in the gravy, even more tasty. The adobo rice was decent, it's even better if you put the gravy on it. The shop is small & located in the ala Moana mall. The service was mediocre, they itemize everything & it was pricey. The chicken tenders & fries we ordered had like zero seasoning on them which was kinda disappointing. Then our drink carrier was defective and spilled our drinks all over the floor which was frustrating. The younger worker was nice enough to replace them for me though. Nice kid. Overall I recommend the chicken & I'll be back for it. read more

Yummiest and most tender fried chicken I've tasted! I really enjoyed my chickenjoy meal (5/5). I tried the gravy that came with it, but could've done without it. The spaghetti was sweet (3/5). Service was great and my meal was ready within 3 minutes of ordering. They gave me a device that buzzed when my food was ready. Ambiance is just okay since it's a regular mall food court. read more

This spaghetti is out of this world! I dont know what kind of cheese and marinara they use, but man. A family pack lasted two of us two nights, and we are skinny guys so that's saying something lol. It ended up being the midnight snack go to for the short time it lasted. The chicken... not so much. It was hardly chicken, but if you're into batter on a bone... come here. It was disappointing how expensive it was for what we ended up getting. First time at this location so it could have been an off day for this location. Peach Mango pies were also good but you can get an equivalent at Mcdonalds for cheaper and maybe better((?) Haven't had one in a while). I would go out of my way to get the spaghetti again.

A Filipino friend of ours posted about this spot and I've been wanting to try it ever since. It's a Filipino fast food chain that you can find in a few cities in the US. We weren't even planning to have it here, but when we saw it across from the spot we were eating at, we had to try it. We got a 2 Piece Spicy Chickenjoy & Jolly Spaghetti. I loved all of it. The spice on the chicken was very flavorful and it's served with a tasty gravy. The spaghetti isn't your typical American spaghetti. It's on the sweeter side and I really enjoyed it. I'd say this is some of the best fast food I've ever had. I'd definitely come back next time I find one. read more

I've been to several locations on the West Coast, and I think this place by far was the worst! I love their spaghetti and chicken, but was highly disappointed at their customer service. Not to sound racist, but I was waiting a very long time for my order. Then I started noticing that customers, who were of Filipino ancestry, that came after me, was getting their orders faster and quicker than me. I inquired, and the person told me "Your order isn't ready yet." How can a simple order be "not ready yet" when others were getting their food BEFORE me? When I finally got it, the food was cold, bland, and so not worth the price. I called and also did their survey on the receipt. Not one word. Don't think I'll be going back to this place. I felt really discriminated against. read more

This is my first one star review on Yelp, ever :( We spent $60 for the family pack spaghetti and the 6 piece spicy bucket with gravy and mango pies (3x). I hope we just hit it on a bad day, but the chicken was bad bad. Very dry, very small, and not even spicy! There was also a long wait for both pick up and take out, and it was sort of chaotic. If fried chicken is what you're coming here for, I'd personally say to check elsewhere. This location has neither quality nor value. read more

You will not believe it, but yesterday was the first time I ever went to a Jollibee! After all these years hearing about it from friends, seeing it on Yelp and FB and even a show with Anthony Bourdain, I finally went there. All it took was for my cousin to tell me, "Hey, Jollibee has good fried chicken. There's one at Ala Moana." That's it! Since I moved here, that's all I could think about because I love fried chicken! My friend Dom and I would go on fried chicken adventures in San Francisco to find the best chicken at different places all over the city (miss Krispy Krunchy chicken)! We arrived at Ala Moana and I made a bee line to Jollibee! The line wasn't too bad yet, so I quickly looked at the menu. I saw the 6-piece chicken bucket - yes! That's it, k let's order. It took a little while to get our food. Bonus, I saw them put freshly cooked chicken out for upcoming orders. I talked to a nice lady from Phoenix while I waited (she told me how crazy people are for Jollibee there too). #144 - that's me! We grabbed the order and made our way over to sit and eat! The chicken was freshly fried, crispy and steamy hot! And it came with deep, dark gravy -eee! We tore through our first couple pieces, putting some of that yummy gravy on- ohhh ono! I'm in love! Haha! Oh yeah I'll be back real soon! If you see me coming for more chicken, make way LOL!! Oh and P.S., we wrapped up the leftover gravy to take home and make some bomb loco moco another day - yahooo!! read more

They are celebrating National Fried Chicken Day with a free add-on 2pc chicken (with purchase of 10pc bucket) with online order promo code NFCD2023 until 7/12/23. Around 2pm, I put in my online order using the promo for scheduled pick up time of 5:30pm. I arrive at 5:35pm and my order is not waiting and they tell me 6 min for the spicy chicken to be ready. We wait at least 15 min for my order. So my order was not ready on time. Furthermore, the chicken pieces are noticeably smaller and less "buttery" and juicy than the last time we ordered from Jollibee's, which was for National Fried Chicken day last year (July 2022). This made it seem not worth $32 for 12 pc chicken and gravy. It was a disappointing experience. read more

The chicken portion in the " Deluxe Chicken Sandwich" is much LARGER here than in the King St and Waipahu outlets! ...... WHY???

Whether I'm in California, New York, or in this case, at the Ala Moana Center in Honolulu, I rarely say no to Jollibee. Having come to this location several times over the last decade or so, I think this food court version is a decent pick overall. I think the majority of the fried chicken is consistent with most Jollibee locations. Crunchy skin, juicy meat, and abundant with every piece. I personally believe where they really excel is in their noodle dishes, especially the palabok fiesta and on occasion, the Filipino spaghetti, is particularly tasty. When they have adobe rice available, it's straight fire. Where they could see some improvement is the burgers. More often than not I've experienced a dry patty and a pretty bland assembly of limpy lettuce and bun. I also think their halo halo could use some work for how pricey it is, but it comes through for whenever the weather is on the hot side. Where I demote the stars is for the service. No place is perfect and I'm not expect maitre'd type treatment at a fast food mall joint, but I've felt the snappiness from the staff far too often. Hoping the next time I'm in the area that they improve on this aspect. read more

This place is a piece of work. There can be a language barrier at times and there are also issues with hygiene issues as it relates to food service. I went there and a worker left the food area and went out to the tables. When she returned to the food area, she never washed her hands and then proceeded to prepare meals for people. That's nasty!!! She didn't see anything wrong with touching tables and then touching people's food. She got upset when I asked her to wash her hands before she prepared my food. I went and ordered a meal there today and confirmed at the window what I ordered. Unfortunately, the order was incorrect which doesn't surprise me. I asked for the 2 piece Chickenjoy and I asked for it three times because they couldn't hear despite me yelling it the third time. When I asked if I should drive up they could miraculously hear me. I gave my order and paid. I confirmed that I wanted a peach mango pie, but after driving 25 minutes to get to my place, I discovered a nasty Ube pie. You may like their Une pie, but I don't. I literally spit it out and tossed it in the trash. I was so lucky to get a $1.06 credit for their incompetence. The manager on duty then proceeded to tell me I ate it when I hadn't. She is obviously needs to clean her ears or learn to listen. It's bad enough they practically throw the food into the car when you try to put your credit card or cash away. But obviously, the food needs to be checked thoroughly before pulling out the driveway so you aren't charged for something you didn't want. read more
