Chicken a Crispy Breaded Shrimp (4 Pcs)
Masis Y.

Is m comparing this to other equal Hawaiian places and this one is a hit. Big portion fresh and delicious. I'll come back here for sure

Do not take the fast way It evens out every time  Hawaiian BBQ Short Ribs & Crispy Shrimp Plate (all rice) from #KahuHawaianBBQ
Mojo S.

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.

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!

Garlic White Fish plate
Carrie A.

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.

3. Spicy Chicken Plate with a musubi in the background
Meagan I.

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!

half & half beef and chicken plate
David G.

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! : )

Chicken plate
Kev T.

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.

Ordering my favorite Chicken Chow Main
Lety S.

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!

Boneless pieces of delicious crispy chicken (reminds me of Mochiko in Hawaii). Chicken is battered lightly, it's crispy, and NOT greasy. Loved the salad dressing and the chicken sauce. One is greeted by a pleasant young lady as you enter. She takes orders and you pay at the counter. Very busy during lunch. The small restaurant is very clean and seats approximately 20 people. The tables are cleaned shortly after customers leave. Love the Aloha soft drinks too. I did tell the chef that the food is very good! Based on my first visit I definitely plan to return to try other dishes like the rib plate and chicken katsu.

Order at the front counter and wait for to go or sit down and they'll bring it to you. Everything is made to order, so expect to wait a bit. Benefit is that everything will come out fresh and hot. Clean interior and good AC for these hot days. Server was friendly. Food itself was very good. We ordered the fire island tofu plate and the fried chicken plate. The tofu had a very tasty spice on it and was nicely fried. The fried chicken had a nice breading and wasn't oily. We enjoyed both dishes. My favorite spot was Aloha BBQ in the Vons center, which is now sadly gone. This may be my new to go spot for Hawaiian food.

Because of that I can't tell you what goes into good Hawaiian food. I can only tell you the dishes I've always liked, which are the bbq ribs/kalbi, the bbq chicken, the katsu chicken, and occasionally the spam. Ono has always made excellent versions of these dishes, no matter which location you go to. This location is the same. Everything I ate here hit the spot, including the crispy shrimp I had this time. The service was pretty decent. They were super efficient, friendly, and seemed eager to make your experience a pleasant one. The tables were a tad dirty, but there were plenty to choose from, and it was mostly a minor inconvenience and not something to complain about. If anything, they were a lot nicer than other fast casual restaurants I go to. Overall, this was a kickass dining experience and one that speaks well about how the franchise holds down the fort wherever you go.

All gender restroom in the back... key required. Poke bowl comes in 5 sizes each with varying scoops of proteins. I wanted two large bowls each with 5 scoops. Went with all salmon and every topping that was offered except for the lemon/lime. Proteins, veggies, and dry toppings were all very fresh. Kate, the owner, recommended a combination of 4 different sauces, Poke Bomb mild, House Special mild, Spicy Sesame, Spicy Mayo. I said let's try it. She put them together for me. It was good indeed. Very well balanced sauce concotion for the poke bowl! Kate was super friendly and kind. She gave me one complimentary small Island Fresca Lemonade lemonade to try. It was so very refreshing. I ended up getting one cup to-go. I got one Thai Iced Tea to-go as well. Drinks were refreshingly amazing! I had to drive over an hour plus to get home. Kate gave me an ice pack to keep the poke bowls cold. Thank you Kate for everything! My eldest daughter and I enjoyed our poke bowls very much. Highly recommend Poke Poki for the poke lovers! Great poke bowls at very reasonable prices. Btw, make sure you get their loyalty card. Buy 10 poke bowls of two scoops or larger, get one poke bowl of three scoops for free. That's a steal! Come get your yummy and delicious poke bowls and more!!

The old owner helps out on Saturdays. Been eating at Siamese since I was a kid, over 20 years. Food: Food is relatively the same. The beef salad was slightly less tangier than before. I got more of the flavor by mixing the sauce on the bottom, but the prior beef salad didn't require that -- the sauce was just that, extra, and increased the juiciness and flavor of the already flavorful salad. In comparison, perhaps this beef salad needed to be mixed more prior to serving or marinated longer? The shrimp pad thai tasted exactly as it did before. It is sweet and peanutty. If you want a tangy or acidic pad thai, this is not for you-- but it's spectacular. Thai tea used too much milk, not enough of the tea taste. Service: The old servers are no longer there; I will miss them, they were always so sweet, kind and attentive. The new owners are nice as well, however we told the husband we wanted our rice to eat with the beef salad and he thought we said to-go. So we did not eat the beef salad with rice as desired. They're short-staffed compared to before. Our food came out in a reasonable amount of time, but before they sold they were faster because they had help. Ambiance: They added new photos and updated the aesthetic of the menu. It's nice, although I personally am not a fan of AI graphics. Still my #1 Thai place. I hope they get some additional help if they're able to so they can stay open and flourish.
