My fried garlic white fish smelled so good in the car so I snarfed it down as soon as I parked. Didn't get a photo, tsk tsk. But let me tell you - it wasn't greasy at all. It was flavorful and filling. I love the macaroni salad and the broccoli they put as sides. They complemented the fish well. Service was fast and kind. This has always been the case and is one reason - along with the delicious food - why I keep coming back. read more

I've had the chicken teriyaki and the chicken katsu. Teriyaki was good and flavorful. I wish I could say the same about the katsu, I'm sorry it was terrible. It's small inside, just a few tables. Service is good. read more

At first I was a little gunshy seeing all the middling and poor reviews this place received. But it turns out this place was pretty good. My kalbi and shrimp, while on the small portion sure, still was enough to fill me up and was quite delicious to boot. At that price point for the combo, I'd be more than willing to order this good. The other nice thing is they were able to substitute out the Mac salad and veggies, as those should never be a part of any meal meant to be edible. Some Hawaiian places want to charge you extra for the public service, but Kahu does not, which I appreciate. Overall, the service was just exemplary. And while the space might be a little small and some of the tables have their chairs stored away, it had a good ambience and wasn't something I could be annoyed or concerned about. As it is, I like having another option for when I go to the movies. A lot of the time I'm in the area it's the fast food life for me, but this provides some decent Hawaiian grub as a nice alternative. That's great for me. read more

Kahu Hawaiian BBQ - Do not take the fast way It evens out every time Hawaiian BBQ Short Ribs & Crispy Shrimp Plate (all rice) from #KahuHawaianBBQ - Hawaiian Near Me - San Dimas, California

Good,delish, and fresh. Super quick service and the place is small but super clean. Very authentic dished prepared and presented in a very good way. This place, to me, replaces any other Hawaiian Bbq type food place in either LaVerne and San Dimas. I loved it and will make it my "go to" for Hawaiian BBQ. read more

Great portions of food at great prices! We enjoyed the Orange Chicken & Macaroni Salad! Waitress was extremely kind and helpful. Location was very clean. The service was great as the wait time was swift while delivering on big sizes of the food! read more

I love the spam fried rice!!! The lady at the front is so sweet she will bring the food right to you.

I got the garlic white fish plate and thought it was very tasty. The fish was kind of thin, so if your trying to compare it to other Hawaiian bbq's you might be disappointed but I liked it a lot! My husband got the chicken and beef combo and said he had had better. read more

Kahu Hawaiian BBQ - Garlic White Fish plate - Hawaiian Near Me - San Dimas, California

First time coming here. I ordered a half and half plate with chicken Katsu, bbq short ribs and Mac salad. The chicken katsu needed some seasoning. Not the best I've had, but not the worst either. The macaroni salad needed some more vinegar. I felt it lacked some tanginess for my taste. The bbq short ribs were delicious! Well seasoned, marinated and grilled. I would come back just for those. Service was great. They brought my food to my table which was an unexpected surprise. They didn't put up a fight or want to charge me more when I subbed out the rice and veggies for extra macaroni salad, which was nice. Overall, I would eat here again if I'm in the area. Maybe try out their other grilled proteins instead of the fried stuff. read more

I got chowmien and it wasn't chowmein the noodles were like cup noodle (noodles ) the taste was good it was just the noodle that made it a little weird. If they change the noodle to something that's actually more like original chowmien I would have gave it 5 stars. I'm sure the rest of the food is good just the chowmien wasn't worth it for me . read more

Finally a Hawaiian bbq place in San Dimas! Always looking for a good meal and this little place is perfect for getting rid of a craving! The CHICKEN KATSU is a classic go to staple. It's always well made and super crispy. A+ for the macaroni salad! Also, some nice veggies that were a little undercooked which I really don't mind. If you want a healthier option, the SPICY CHICKEN PLATE is a decent option. I feel like it's missing a little something but It's got a nice little kick! I went with brown rice and it was a bit dry but not too bad! The MUSUBI is a perfect salty and sweet snack if you need one. You can't go wrong with an order of two! read more

Kahu Hawaiian BBQ - 3. Spicy Chicken Plate with a musubi in the background - Hawaiian Near Me - San Dimas, California

Honestly I didn't want to give you a star but unfortunately we have to in order to post. This place has to be the most disgusting places I've ever eaten. I work in the food industry and I honestly don't know how it has so many stars. It definitely was NOT worth the amount I paid. It's horrifying on how careless the people who work there are. The food inspectors should stop by and inspect the kitchen. I ordered meals from this place to "enjoy" with my family. I ordered the garlic shrimp to enjoy with my toddler. Opening the container the smell of spoiled shrimp hit the air. I inspected the shrimp the shells were sticky and flesh was bad. The cook should have known better. Eating this would have been bad shellfish poisoning. It pissed me off that they let this go out of the restaurant. What also pisses me off is thinking about a child not knowing it was bad and they ate it, got sick and ended in the hospital. Disappointing!! My husband ordered the Chicken katsu, it wasn't enjoyable. It was overcooked, very dry and hard to chew. My 4 year old daughter had the spam fried rice ( it was gross I do not recommend) she didn't like it. I also got her the bbq chicken that she said it tasted weird. The only thing she ate was the white rice. My nephew ordered the loco moco he said it wasn't good and that he will never eat form this place again. He didn't even eat the whole meal because he said he didn't want to get sick. The pasta salad was also inedible it had no flavor whatsoever. And the mayo looked like it's been sitting for a while. My husband and nephew drove to the restaurant to return the shrimp dish that was delivered. I wanted a new shrimp meal (hold the food poisoning) My husband said that when he told the man behind the counter about the situation. The man didn't apologize for sending rotten food. My husband said that it seemed like the man already knew why they were there. My husband asked them to remake the dish but they had ran out of shrimp. Which explains why they must have sent the rotten ones and tossed the rest out. To the man behind the counter: Make sure your cooks know what they are doing and don't send bad food. For the future simply call and tell the costumer "unfortunately we don't have shrimp today (or what ever bad dish you have). Would you like to replace your meal with a different dish?" Write it down and tape it near the phone so you remember. Because after this experience I'm surprised this place is still open. Anyway they replaced the shrimp for spam misubi . When in reality the meal should have been removed from the bill and gave a meal for the trouble they put the customer in. Possible shellfish poisoning is not a joke it's death!! read more

This is my first time coming here. From the moment that I walked in, I was greeted by the friendly employee behind the counter. I explained to him that it was my first time visiting the restaurant and he was patient enough to explain the menu. I opted for the beef & chicken half and half plate. It was prepared really fast! Honestly, it was super delicious and healthy tasting. I really recommend this restaurant! : ) read more

Chicken breast plate was amazing! I had a side of lemon and it was very healthy and not dry. We got the fish plate too, fish was thin and crispy. The spam masubi was the perfect portion and cooked good. The older Asian guy was very friendly and giving us recommendations on what to get as this was our first time here. It's a nice little Hawaiian food place with a big menu. read more

We ordered through grubhub because this place is usually great.... halfway through our meal, however, we found worms in the vegetables. I don't know how many bugs we ate before noticing the worms. We were disgusted, to say the least. I really hope that my husband, baby, and I don't get sick from eating this food. AVOID THIS ESTABLISHMENT! read more

Kahu Hawaiian BBQ - Worm in the food - Hawaiian Near Me - San Dimas, California

My kids favorite place. They would eat this everyday if I let them. We always get the chicken Katsu. Great amount of food for the price

I take the Drive specifically to end up here at this little plain restaurant. You want to eat fresh made to order No MSG?!, This is the place they have a chef ready to prepare the many Asian dishes on site. They have delicious fresh soups like; Wor Wonton, Hot and Sour, & Egg Flower eat in or to go! They are always busy because it's made on site. No pre-made Kung Pao Chicken, Orange Chicken, or Beef and Brócoli lol! read more

Without even trying this place, we ordered party trays of loco moco, chicken katsu, bbq beef and spam musubi for our events. Guess what... Everyone loves it! Food is freshly made and still warm. Will try their other foods next time! Friendly customer service. read more

Food is great, to many homeless people around....while I'm waiting for food Homeless Lady drops bags and uses bathroom to bath. Then is allowed to use personal cup from bag to get Soda. I'm all for helping people but food service industry has to be careful. I'm not going back. read more

Great prices for decent food. You don't get fruit salad like the picture on the menu shows; you get steamed veggies instead which is fine. I've been twice and gotten plate lunches with chicken katsu and bbq chicken. You get a lot of food and it's nice helping out a mom and pop small business. read more

I've been ordering here for over a year. It seems the more you order the less meat, seafood you get. I'm done. Food is good. But short on meat and seafood read more

Oh Wow!!! Like Mark Weines says Babe brought me to eat Lomo Saltado, he raves about their Lomo Saltado. First time here and I've got to say that this is one of the best if not the best Lomo Saltado I've had. Sorry Inka Pollo. Order it, wait for, eat it slow. If you didn't know now you know read more

Food is similar to what you would get in a good Ono Hawaiian Bbq. Everything is fresh and hot. What's exceptional here is the service. I am very impressed the way they treat their customers. I wish I was able to tip them but they didn't have a Tip option and I didn't have any cash with me. Definitely recommended for a decent hot meal with an exceptional service. read more

Food is great. The spam musubis are the best in the area and always the best service! Prices are unmatched!

excellent experience wonderful food absolutely loved the fish it is the best fried fish I have ever had not greasy just crispy and crunchy can not say enough about how tasty it was and I will definitely be going back for more !!!!!! read more

My son ordered spam and eggs for me. Unfortunately, i couldn't eat the eggs because it had a lot of shells. The cook should have known that and should have seen the shells but didn't care. Won't be ordering it again and better yet go back there again. read more

Rating is for great and friendly customer service. We typically go to the gym around the corner and are starving after a hard workout and what better place to eat carbs and protein than at Hawaiian bbq. We usually get the loco moco and the crispy fried shrimp plate and the meat on the loco moco is very tasty not dry nor does the meat taste old. And I always substitute the vegetables for an additional scoop of macaroni salad on the shrimp plate. So delicious!!! The gentleman that is usually there is Ming, and he is super friendly and helpful with your order. Don't miss out! read more

Lovey lil spot, super sweet and cute Asian couple seem to own the spot and he gave me really good suggestions, was helpful, and patent. I'm Japanese and Hawaiian and this place food wise is fire! Even their teriyaki sauce you can tell is proper and high quality. Portions are generous, definitely coming back here a lot. read more

This is my go to place in San Dimas if I'm craving a spam musubi. I believe the shop is a mom and pop so I'm always willing to support small businesses. The service is great especially from the gentleman in the front. Always kind and polite, even when placing a big party order over the phone, he's very patient and sweet. I think the interior is a little outdated but the least of my worries because I think the food is good enough. read more

Little local joint in San Dimas that you would probably drive right past if you didn't know it was there. Overall the food was good. Nothing spectacular but the prices are reasonable and decent quality overall. I ordered online and everything went smoothly. The food was hot and ready when I picked it up. This won't become a favorite but I would definitely go back if I'm craving some Hawaiian BBQ. read more

idk how they do it but it's more delicious than your usual Hawaiian place. Outstanding, you'll see

Stopped in looking for a quick bite. I ordered the fried fish sandwich combo which came with an order of fries and a drink. The sandwich is pretty basic. Fish and lettuce on a bun and the fries were a bit undercooked for my liking. I prefer my fries with a slight crunch. I was able to get my order quickly which I was grateful for since I have only a 30 minute lunch. (Next time I'll order ahead) They do serve shrimp chow mein which I'll give a shot next time. The owner, I presume, taking the order was polite and following all social distancing and covid procedures. read more

Always consistently good. Great flavor in the wonton soup and teriyaki bowls. I usually call in the order and its always hot and ready to go. read more

Kahu got it together. 9 months ago they fell off inexplicably. They really fixed the issues. Five star no less a great meal.

This place is so good! I was skeptical about trying the Lomo Saltado but it ended up being some of the best I've ever had! It's so juicy! They also give a big portion. The service was very good and the order came up fast! Try this place!!! You won't regret it! read more

Favorite place for my Hawaiian BBQ cravings now. They have a bunch of food varieties (fusions) like Chinese and Peruvian. The food is always made fresh by order (takes a bit of waiting time, but WORTH IT). My favorites are the spam musubi and short ribs. The owner and cashiers are always very friendly. You can always call in beforehand to reduce your waiting time. Overall, it's a great restaurant. Definitely recommend. read more
