    My Mom was craving Huli Huli Chicken, so after taking taking her to the Marketplace she wanted to try Koala Moa. Come to think of it, It has been a while since I've eaten Huli Huli Chicken. The Chicken was moist and flavorful. The price is definitely worth it considering the portion size. The Mac Salad does need improvement. Service staff was good and friendly.

    Whole chicken we ate half.

    Five stars! Highly recommended! Ordered delivery to my house. The food is great! Old school huli huli chicken plates with choices of starch and sides. The chicken was really good, cooked to perfection with a slight char on the outside, just how I like it. The service when I went to the store another time was fast and great. No issues there. The ambiance of the restaurant was good. Similar to a plate lunch place, no frills, just right. Self seating and clean.

    11/01/25 First time trying this place and wanted to try their rotisserie chicken. They are located in the City Square shopping center with a huge parking lot with plenty of open spaces. Got there about 1:30PM, walked in the restaurant and there were no customers. The gal at the counter greeted me but I had to wait a short bit as she was completing a phone order, which wasn't a problem since it gave me time to peruse the menu. The restaurant had a few tables and was very clean. I think the gal's name was Marlita from my receipt. She was very nice and personable. They have a pretty simple menu - chicken and ribs. I ordered the combo plate for $23.99, consisting of 1/4 chicken, 1/2 lb of ribs or 3 ribs, and 4 sides. I chose the toss salad no dressing, mac salad, & double corn. The toss salad was was full of brown lettuce. The mac salad was more like a mac-potato salad, tasted ok, maybe a little bland. The corn was can corn, which was ok with me. The chicken was not too bad. At first bite, it's very salty but once you get past that, it had good flavor. The lemon grass ribs were the same thing, very salty on the first bit but then it was ok. There was a good portion of the 1/4 chicken and the ribs were pretty meaty. It was a bit of a pricey meal to eat. Overall the food was ok, wait time my order was a few minutes, clean restaurant, & great customer service.

    Come to think of it, it's been many years since we've had huli huli chicken - not to be confused with rotisserie chicken, which we can get at any number of places. With this in mind, I searched and found Koala Moa in the small shopping complex on Dillingham Blvd. I wasn't sure of its exact location, so I relied on the online map - which led me in circles near 7-Eleven. I finally called and confirmed I was in the right area, just needing to walk a bit further in. Not knowing how big they were, I ordered two whole chickens and sat down to wait. It wasn't long before the lady brought over a large bag containing the individually bagged chickens - which was surprisingly heavy. At home, my wife eagerly opened one of the bags. I told her it would be fine if she wanted to gift the other to someone we knew. She said she would think about it. As we began eating my wife kept saying how "oishii" the chicken was, and she quickly decided whom to give the second one to. We had difficulty finishing one chicken between the two of us. Yes - when we're in the mood for huli huli again, we'll be back at Koala Moa.

    Not bad. Wanted huli huli. Got the large plate w half chicken. Sadly out of bitter melon and salad so got the unhealthy Mac/ rice / corn. Chicken had decent flavor but was dry. Sides meh

    Koala Moa at 1199 Dillingham Blvd Ste C108, Honolulu, HI 96817 - In the midst of running some errands, my mom suggested we eat some lunch at here! They are located in City Square and are known for their juicy huli-huli chicken (rotisserie style chicken) plates. We each got a large plate, which consisted of 1/2 chicken and 3 sides: white rice, corn, and mac salad ($15.99). I finished the entire plate in one sitting! Although I felt like the mac salad was a bit bland, the chicken was moist and flavorful, and it was well worth the money for the portions they gave! Once we sat down, more people came in and there was enough seating inside for 3-6 small families. The staff weren't the most talkative or friendly, but that's ok because the food definitely made up for it. I can't wait to come back!

    Chicken is fire, I asked for the dark meet since it more moist and it was delicious, like a home cook, ambiance I'd say could be a little more designed but if you're focused on food; the food is very delicious and tastey ! Also they were decent and nice in service, price is good too. So yeah it's good especially perfect lunch of chicken and rice !

    Menu as of 12/20/24

    I stopped by to grab lunch for a friend. He enjoyed it and said it was really good. It's a small place and the lady that helped me was nice. I tried a couple of the takuans that they sell. They were good.

    June 2025: Jumbo Plate.  Whole huli huli chicken, two scoop rice, and mac salad.  Was delicious.  $25
    Scott H.

    Ordered a Jumbo chicken plate, two scoops rice, and mac salad. Chicken was delicious. Skin was crispy and well seasoned. Meat was tender and moist. Huli huli chicken was hot and fresh. Delicious. Service was awesome. Used a gift certificate that I bought. There was an issue and the staff helped and resolved with a smile. Could not be happier.

    We got here about an hour before closing. All the chairs were already up. I'm not sure if they're still not doing dine in or they were just getting ready to close. We looked at the menu and decided to get a Jumbo Plate ($21.99) which was a whole chicken with three sides. We got white rice, corn and mac salad for our sides. The cashier asked us if we wanted the chicken cut into pieces and that it would be $1 more. Since we were sharing the plate we figured that would be easier, so we forked over the dollar. The food was decent. It wasn't the best huli huli chicken that I've had, but it was moist and tender. I like my chicken drenched in huli sauce. If you look at my pics, no sauce.

But we were so disappointed with the quality of the food we couldn't even finish everything. So I got 2 lunch orders: rice with char siu and roast pork, and rice with roast duck and chicken. I also ordered half pound of beef trip to try. So this way we got to sample everything. At the end the only thing we enjoyed was the roast pork. The skin was crispy and meat had good flavor. The duck had too much fat. There was not much meat left after getting rid of the bones and the fat. The chicken was quite mushy. The texture just was not right probably because it wasn't too fresh? The char siu was probably one of the worst I have even had. It had so much tendon that there was not a single piece that we could even chew through it. And the beef tripe was soooooo salty. It was just very disappointing. It was relatively cheap though compared to other restaurants and they gave us a very big portion but I don't think I will go back given that there are places that sell better roast duck and char siu.

    GET THE CORN BREAD!…read more Okay, now that the most important information is there...we loved this spot! The brisket plate was perfect for two meals. It falls apart as you're eating it in all the best ways. I regret not ordering it by the pound. The potato salad was a bit too mustardy for me but the cream corn was 10/10 I should've asked for it in a cup. My favorite part was the corn bread. I'm used to corn bread being dry and not my choice of a bbq side but I took a chance thanks to the employee hyping up all my food choices and tried it. The texture was more of a bread budding and was unbelievably delicious. I regret only getting one piece and not another one for the following day. I guess what I'm trying to say is, swing on by, order a little bit of everything and you'll leave a few pounds heavier and very happy.
