Ala Moana Center has two food courts. The Lanai is the smaller one, and the other one, Makai Market, is a complete zoo with over thirty kiosks and customer flow a chaotic storm, especially in the early evening. Somehow Jamie W and I end up here when we don't give any forethought on dinner options. This is my roundabout way of saying that this food stand was a miss for me. Feeling particularly carnivorous, I was drawn to this Hawaiian-style hofbrau because they offered several meat combo options. I ordered the $23.50 Roast Chicken and Prime Rib Double Combo Meal (Photo 5). It seemed like a fair price for a lot of protein and three sides. When we finally found a place to sit, I was immediately disappointed at the overly rare condition of the prime rib, chewy and hard to digest. Ironically, the chicken was overcooked presumably from being under the heat lamps too long. At least the steamed broccoli, grilled zucchini, and creamy risotto were edible, but it was too late. I dumped a lot of it in the trash. FOOD - 2 stars...thought it was impossible to make bad prime rib...I was wrong AMBIANCE - 2 stars...crazy-busy in this food courts SERVICE - 1.5 stars...barely any interaction TOTAL - 2 stars...almost totally skippable RELATED - Exploring Hawaii? Here's a collection of places I've visited and reviewed: https://yelp.to/0bFd0id-Fz
I needed something quick and this place didn't have a line in the packed food court and looked good so I have it a shot. Solid flavor and excellent portions. My son and I crushed it. 3 sides of great proportion will hit that spot.
The food here exceeded our expectations. Lahaina Chicken Company is found at the food court in the Ala Moana Mall. I initially had lowered expectations because I was at a food court but I take it all back. The food here is excellent. The service is fast and professional. The ambiance is loud and lively given the location was inside a food court. There's plenty of tables and seats. We got their prime rib, chicken, corn, jap chae, and mac and cheese. The highlight was the prime rib. It was cooked so perfectly. It was tender and juicy. All the other components were delicious as well! The only regret I had was that we shared this order. I kinda wished we ordered separately so that we could try even more of their menu. Highly recommend this place. I'd definitely come back for round two!
My partner and I recently did a chicken off between Raising Cane's and Chick Fil A in the Ala Moana food court. Then I realized we made a grave mistake and should have just gotten the half chicken from Lahaina Chicken Company. We're infrequent customers, but when we do get it, it's now always the half roasted chicken with three sides. Prices have been creeping up and it's about $21.5 for that combo meal, but it's such a better deal than the fried chicken from the other guys. Plus, if you select vegetables, you are actually eating relatively healthy and you can easily feed two adults plus a kid or two or three sort of hungry adults. The fried chicken guys will cost you easily more than that for two combo meals. The roast chicken is juicy, well-seasoned, and piping hot. It's always delicious. They keep the chickens generally whole and only cut them in half when you order, so dried out chicken is pretty rare, especially if you go during busy times. The sides that come with the combos range from mac and cheese unhealthy, to healthy salad, with mash potatoes, broccoli and cheese, corn, chop jae, and mixed vegetables depending on the day. Did I mention some combos come with three sides? Did I also mention that this combo always had more chicken to side ratio? That's a luxury these days when you run out of starches and vegetables and you still have a quarter of your chicken left to go. Plus the sides are good, the vegetables are fresh, the noodles are flavored well, and the gravy on the potatoes gives thanksgiving vibes. For $21.5 plus tax to feed 2-3 people for a healthyiish, delicious hot meal is amazing. The fact that you can do this in a high rent mall like Ala Moana is mind blowing. Protip: We once got the whole chicken plate and had to take home so much food. Advised to stick to the half chicken unless you're going to a party. Bathrooms are shared with the rest of the food court and while there are a lot of seats, there are often a horde of hungry people sitting in those seats. Parking is mall parking so depends on the time and shopping season. Finally, doesn't look like they have a credit card surcharge. 4.5 Stars, especially given the food inflation we're seeing these days.
Stopped in for lunch as I was looking for something with an island flare. I ordered the 1/4 chicken with mashed potatoes, Mac and cheese with broccoli and cheese. The roasted chicken was very juicy but didn't have too much flavor. The Mac and cheese was mediocre but the broccoli and cheese was very tasty We also ordered ribs and they were amazing! So tender and flavorful! The meat just fell off the bone. This was located in a large food court and everything was pretty fresh.
Lahaina Chicken Co. first opened at the Ala Moana Center Makai Food Court in 1999. It offers homestyle roast chicken (1/4 or 1/2); fried chicken (drumsticks, extended wing portions, chicken breast); ribeye roast; roast beef carved to order; beef short ribs; prime rib; roast pork; and baby back ribs. Each plate comes with three sides that can be chosen from the following: mashed potatoes & gravy, mac salad, green bean casserole, garden fresh veggies, zucchini, broccoli, mac & cheese, cole slaw, corn, chop chae, and more. The menu reflects HI's unique melting pot of cultures of Asian, Pacific, and American tastes. Lahaina Chicken Co. is the brainchild of local restaurateur Peter Kim, who also opened LIliha Bakery, Signature Prime Steak & Seafood, Little Joe's Steakhouse, Steak & Fish Co, Cheeseburger Factory, and Yummy Korean BBQ. Ahh, now I know why chop chae is a side, an unusual one at that, at Lahaina Chicken Co, which is because Peter also owns Yummy Korean BBQ! It is no wonder that Peter also was awarded the 2025 Hale 'Aina Restaurateur of the Year! I enjoy chicken wings, so choosing the 2-piece extended wing/thigh portion makes a nice choice of several meals for me, including the sides. However, I've seen the pieces getting smaller in in size, and the price increasing over recent years. While I see many others ordering the meats, I've always stuck by the wing pieces, which have always satisfied by cravings. The extended wings are large pieces and are tasty, crispy on the outside, and juicy on the inside. Also love the creamy mashed potatoes and flavorful chop chae! Staff is friendly, quick and efficient, as they try to move the line as quickly as possible. There is a similar 2nd location at the Dan Inouye International Airport near the Inter-Island terminal. Hours of operation are Mon to Sat 10:30a to 8:00p and Sun 10:30a to 7:00p. Located near Ala Moana Poi Bowl, there is free parking in the large shopping small that is shared by other businesses. A nice heavy meal by itself and certainly not a light meal. A nice fit in food court for those wanting a little more! Support local!
Whenever I think of mall food court eateries, all of the usual suspects immediately come to mind - fast food joints, Jamba Juice, Mrs. Fields, Wetzel's Pretzels/Auntie Anne's, Cinnabon, and, of course, the ever ubiquitous Panda Express. All of whom you'll certainly find in Ala Moana's lower food court (or elsewhere in the mall). What I didn't expect to find among them? An eatery serving up, of all things, cuts of prime rib and mushroom risotto with truffle! God I love this mall. Now, to be perfectly honest, after doing an initial lap of the food court to see what our options were, I actually quickly dismissed Lahaina Chicken. Between their name and the trays with fried chicken and roast chicken I saw folks walking away with, I figured this place was just a chicken shop. My gf, on the other hand, took a closer look at their menu and display case and saw just how much they have to offer. In addition to the aforementioned items, they also have roast pork, beef short ribs, hamburger steak, mushroom chicken, and a solid variety of sides. Still, despite having all of those options to choose from, it wasn't that hard to figure out what to pick for our DOUBLE COMBO MEAL. -- PRIME RIB I may have feared the worst (overcooked, rubbery, bland), but this was pretty legit, especially from a food court. The cut was bigger than I had expected, the seasoning was decent, and the beef was tender! Yes, I've had better at restaurants, but I've definitely had worse. -- FRIED CHICKEN Although it wasn't as good as my favorite fast food fried chicken, this was pretty solid. The batter was crispy, nicely seasoned, and reminded me of Chinese fried chicken (no breading) while the chicken itself was very juicy. Plus, I love how it didn't taste greasy/oily either. -- MUSHROOM RISOTTO WITH TRUFFLE Much like with the prime rib, I've had better at restaurants, but this was still pretty good. The risotto was cooked decently well, had a nice bit of cheesiness, and was well complemented by the mushroom and truffle oil flavors. -- ZUCCHINI MEDLEY Maybe it's because I'd been craving some veggies, but this was great! I was pleasantly surprised the zucchini wasn't mushy/overcooked (it probably helped that they were cut into such big pieces) and that the sauce wasn't too salty. -- MASHED POTATOES & GRAVY For better or worse, this was pretty standard. The consistency was really smooth (I wouldn't have minded some chunks of potato) and was neither too thick nor too thin. A bit bland without the gravy, though. Even though it's pretty clear already, I almost feel compelled to say again that I'm so impressed by Lahaina Chicken. Just seeing prime rib and risotto offered at a mall food court is noteworthy, but the fact that they also tasted pretty good makes it that much more notable. Plus, for what it cost (about $28), this felt like a steal of a deal! There are so many places on Oahu that I still want to try, but I wouldn't hesitate for a moment to come back again the next time I'm at Ala Moana! I just wish the malls by me had a place like this... FOUR AND A HALF STARS rounded down.
Good lunch at the food court. Roast pork and bbq rib combo is good. Ribs kinda sweet. Combo is not on the menu prob cuz it's 30 bucks but it's a decent value if you're hungry
Time for an update, as I've been coming here on da regular to this chicken joint at da Ala Moana Food Court. Most folks who follow me know that Bruddah Fran is a Frrrrrrried Chicken freak and I must say da - Lahaina Chicken Company is one of Bruddah Fran's favorite joints to get his Frrrrrrried Chicken fix! I haven't been coming here for a plate as of late, I mainly come here for da Frrrrrrried Chicken (I order ala carte). One Frrrrrrried Chicken breast is just under $5 bucks, but if you look at my many Frrrrrrried Chicken postings......Dat Chicken breast is MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASIVE! Try look 'em! Da outer shell may not be as crispy as Popeye's Frrrrrrried Chicken, but da taste & da juiciness of the chicken meat can't be beat! One Frrrrrrried Chicken breast, and I'm good to go, as the chicken pieces that Lahaina Chicken Company sells is very generous. If you likey Frrrrrrried Chicken like Bruddah Fran, go chance da Lahaina Chicken Company! Da Buggah is Winnah's!
So Flavorful and Filling Lahaina Chicken is seriously delicious. The chicken is so flavorful and juicy, and you can literally smell it while walking through the food court. That's how you know it's good. I like the white meat, and you can order à la carte for $4.50 per piece--and the pieces are huge. I got one piece with a side of mashed potatoes, and it was more than filling for a meal. Because it's in the Ala Moana food court, it's quick and easy when you want something hot and satisfying. Plus, there's ample seating in the food court, and parking is easy since it's Ala Moana. They also have a hamburger steak, and the piece is massive. For sides, you can choose things like mac and cheese or long rice, which makes it easy to build a solid plate. Great option when you want something fast but still full of flavor. I'll definitely be back.
We somehow ended up at the ala Moana and were hungry. After walking around we ended up here because the chicken looked good. It was good. Had a good flavor as compared to basic rotisserie chicken. The prime rib....not enjoyable. With the combo plate you get 3 sides, which we got coleslaw, Mac n cheese and long rice. Then you get a choice of two proteins which we chose the chicken and prime rib. Prime rib came with gravy which we asked for on the side. The long rice was left untouched since we didn't end up liking it. Mac n cheese had an okay flavor and I finished the coleslaw. Service was quick. Location is in a food court so it's pretty loud. Overall, food was very foo court level. It went from hot to like warm within 10 minutes and at the end it was barely warm. Not sure if I would recommend. Maybe if you want something super quick.
The food here is... if I'm being honest it's ok. I go here everytime I come to ala Moana but that's mainly because my dad and brothers used to always get food there whenever we went to ala Moana so now I automatically go there when I come to Ala Moana as well... and it's only in ala Moana and I usually try to eat at places I can't get on the west side. The chicken is good but I suggest getting the thigh because the breast can sometimes be dry. The prime rib is tender. it's cooked medium/medium rare, cooked just right. I personally could use more salt in the food. Back then they used to have small salt packets that you could grab but some reason they stopped providing it. As for the sides... I like the mushroom risotto. The Mac and cheese lacks any flavor for me so I don't usually get it but my gf wanted it. Usually I'll get the mushroom risotto and mashed potato with gravy and the combo plate will fill me up. Overall the food is good. Ala Moana in general has many places to eat but Lahaina chicken company is one of the only ones that have prime rib and roast chicken in the food court so if that's what you're wanting to eat then give it a try.
June 2025: Prime Rib and Roast Chicken with mashed potatoes (X2) and one side of mac & cheese. $24+ Mac & cheese was not good. Everything else was fantastic. Well worth the price.
The staff here is always friendly and their food is always delicious. Their prices are steep but what isn't in Ala Moana ? Besides Ross, of course. But the food here is always delectable & delicious Will be back for sure ! read more

I've always wanted to try Lahaina Chicken Company, but the location at HNL is always closed when I'm there, and when I'm at Ala Moana, there are better dining options than the food court. I finally sacrificed a meal to try them. ATMOSPHERE: Located in the Makai Market food court of Ala Moana Center, they're a takeaway counter with hard to come by communal seating. MENU: Salads, chicken, pork & prime rib. FOOD: 3-Item Plate I chose roasted chicken (dark meat), buttered corn, mashed potatoes with gravy and broccoli in a light cheesey-creamy sauce. The 1/4 piece of chicken was tender, juicy and good-sized. I detected a light truffle flavor on the skin which was still palatable to me. I couldn't finish all of the broccoli as the sauce was too overwhelming. SERVICE: Staff were friendly and food service quick. The chickens were hot, fresh and chopped to order. OVERALL: I'd patronize them frequently if they ever open on Maui. read more

A must stop when I am in Hawaii! Lahaina Chicken has delicious meats and a wide variety of sides. It is located inside the Ala Moana mall in the food court area. The staff is always friendly, and the establishment is very clean. I love their chicken more than their steak. The chicken is juicy and well seasoned. The steak can be a hit or miss, but the chicken is consistently good. I've tried several sides, and my favorite ones are the mashed potatoes and gravy, Mac and cheese, and tomato salad. I've also had the Cole slaw, but it was all right. I had Lahaina Chicken inside the airport, but it wasn't as good as this location. If you are in Ala Moana give them a try! read more
This is my go to place for one food item! I was introduced to this item by a friend over 5 years ago. I was told Lahaina Chicken Co. (LCC) had the biggest and best ever tasting chicken wings! I laughed and chuckled...from a food court vendor? No way. Well, I was proven wrong. These wings are huge! I'm not kidding. Like 3 regular sized wings into one of LCC wings. The coating on the wing is not oily. It's crispy and seasoned just right. The meat is moist and tender. The drumette portion of the wing is almost the size of a regular chicken drumstick. I order just one wing for a meal. If you're really hungry, maybe you could go for one more? And the price? Unbelievably affordable at $2.49 a wing. I hope they can stay at this price point. The pictures do not show the size well. Next time I'll place a ruler next to it. The LCC wing is on a lunch size paper plate for reference. Try it and you will not be disappointed. Service is quick and friendly here. The counters were clean when I visited. LLC is located on the street level food court by Jamba Juice. Take the lower street level escalator down from the mall level center stage area to the food court. Chicken wing 5/5 stars Ambiance: 3/5 stars Service: 3/5 stars read more
Popular fast food restaurant in the food court. Sure their fried chicken isn't as famous as Jollibee but I still have to give them credit for their roasted chicken and prime ribs. Given this inflation. I still find this place affordable and fast service. Very solid read more
My local friends have been bragging about Lahaina Chicken Company at Ala Moana Center Food Court during my island visit. I couldn't resist to stop by and to take a peek at it. I saw what they ordered first before I moved to get something for my roommate and I. Since I already ate my meal, this order was really for our midnight snack at the hotel. They each got a combo plate of huge portions of chicken. One friend got a prime rib on top of that. Because it was near closing time, they ran out of the item we wanted. So, we picked the next available chicken option. My friend picked tomato salad, mac & cheese and something else I didn't pay attention as sides. Because of the serving portion, the price of this meal became irrelevant. No wonder Lahaina Chicken Company is the island's favorite restaurant chain. Because they know how to please their customers. Mahalo! read more
Ordered prime rib, mushroom risotto, steamed broccoli and the coleslaw. The mushroom risotto was the start! Nice and creamy, perfect texture on the rice and seasoned perfectly. The prime rib and the rest of the items were just okay. I'd get the risotto and the fried chicken next time as both of those are consistently good! read more
Munchies in Makai Market... Passed by here numerous times as there's so many to choose from, but on this visit decided to finally give them a try. Lahaina Chicken Company is that and so much more...it's a create your own lunch as you first choose your protein all displayed there for you to see it was the Truffle Roasted Chicken for me and they immediately got me started on choices...yum! It comes with three choices of sides which I chose zucchini, broccoli cheese and long rice noodles as my sides making it a perfect sharing plate and no we didn't finish it lol! Everything was good...the broccoli was a bit overdone and I don't know why they called it Truffle Roasted Chicken as I didn't taste one bit of truffle but it did catch my attention to give it a try...omg! The chicken was very juicy and tender and it was delicious just wished it had the flavor it gave them name for. They also have Beef Shortribs, roast Pork and Prim Rib. The service here is friendly they also asked if I wanted white or dark meat, located in Makai Market is quite noisy and crowded but finding seats in a farther area made it somewhat better, quick and easy. Thank you! read more

This place is pretty good for fast airport food and very convenient if you're in the Terminal 2, E Gates section. The standard plate comes with your choice of: a quarter or a half chicken; roasted, fried, or in mushroom gravy; made with white or dark meat; and three sides. On our visit, there were also ribs on offer. Our roast chicken (a quarter of white meat) was moist -- very moist! -- with a thin layer of skin, fat roasted away, but not at all dry or overcooked as grocery store roast chicken often is. Vegetable options on our visit were largely prepared from frozen (mixed green and yellow beans + carrots; plain green beans; peas and carrots; and corn), but serviceable. They were a wee bit buttery and included enough salt. You can also choose mashed potatoes and gravy, pasta salad, and green salad (a slightly wilted iceberg mix) as sides. I have a feeling that by local standards (e.g. not Waikiki ones), these plates may seem spendy at first at around $20 for a quarter chicken plate, $23-ish for a half chicken plate. But portions are almost laughably large. My eight-year-old and I thought our quarter chicken plate would be enough to feed our entire family of four (or two large, hungry adults). So glad to have this option before our long flight back home. read more
Lahaina Chicken Company is located in the Makai food court at Ala Moana. The take in server was helpful and friendly. Braised Short Ribs - 4/5 The braised short ribs was tender and delicious. The sauce was the ingredient that made this selection work. The sides of salad, veggies were tasty and the mashed potato with gravy was good. A very good selection. Baby Back Ribs - 4/4 The baby back ribs was surprisingly tender, fall of the bone ribs. The sides of mashed potatoes, salad were very good too. Overall, the food served by Lahaina Chicken Company is very good. With the roast chicken is their specialty. Give Lahaina Chicken Company a visit if you're undecided where to eat when visiting Ala Moana Maikai food court. read more

Unfortunately today the prime rib was tough, seemed like an old cut, very dry and chewy! So disappointed. Their cuts are usually tender and very flavorful but today (Saturday) it was not good!! The only thing I enjoyed was the mash and the long rice! read more

COMPLAINT: ordered an 8 piece meal about 1pm, just after the lunch rush. Supposed to have 2 of each piece in the meal (breast wing thigh leg), but THE LAZY LADY JUST GAVE ME WHATEVER WAS IN THE WARMER, TOOK IT ON HERSELF TO SHORT ME A BREAST AND SUBSTITUTE A MUCH SMALLER WING that was falling apart. Left a bad taste. They Used to cook a fresh order if they were short a piece. Guess it's hard to hire good help these days. The other lady serving sides was awesome, patient, and filled the containers with food. Chicken was a little dry, but still pretty good aside from THEM SHORTING ME A PIECE. So angry, LAME LAME LAME! read more

If you're hungry, come here. The half chicken portion is substantial and the three sides included are quite generous, although quality is just okay on the sides. Tomatoes are fresh enough, broccoli is okay, the soy sauce glass noodles were pretty meh. The roast chicken is properly cooked, still firm and juicy, and I seriously wished I had stomach space to try the prime rib too (alas, next time!). Service is efficient and ambiance is, well, crazy busy mall food court. Even for a late lunch they are BUSY. But there's seating to be found if you are patient, and in the end, especially if you're hungry, they do the job. read more

What happens when you forgot to charge your car? You find the closest charger before you die out on the road. Fortunately Ala Moana Center has a few chargers and nearby to where I was when my low battery alert popped up on my screen. I wasn't sure I had enough power to get home so I stopped by. Luckily I found an open station to charge up. Since I was stranded and was in the mood for prime rib thanks to a fellow Yeep, I decided to grab lunch at Lahaina Chicken Company in Makai Market Food Court. It was during lunch so the food court was packed. The food stall had a line of people but the staff worked efficiently to get people their meal and move on to the next customer. I decided to order their Prime Rib & Roast Pork plate. It comes with three sides. Since I haven't had mac & cheese in years, I picked that first then their mashed potatoes with gravy and corn. I asked for medium rare for the prime rib and they cut me a blood red slice which was perfect. After paying, I walked around looking for an open spot to eat. It didn't take too long and after I took my photo, I dug in. The prime rib isn't great but it subsided my prime rib craving till I can eat it somewhere other than a food court. They trimmed the fat off before placing the slice on my plate so I appreciated that. It didn't have much fat and was mostly meat. Portion wise, it was pretty small. The roast pork was dry but thankfully they put additional gravy on top. I left content and my car got a quick charge. Not bad, not great but it was what I had available due to circumstances. read more
I eat here quite often and the food has always been good. There's only one item that I always get and that's the fried chicken (one breast and one wing). There's a fifty cents uncharge for each piece of white meat, so my plate comes to around $15. Each plate comes with three sides. Their roast beef and ribs look tempting, but I can't get away from the fried chicken. Maybe one day I'll try the other entrees. Their fried chicken is crispy and the meat is moist. If you've ever had Woolworth's fried chicken back in the day, that's what it tastes like. The three sides I usually get are the mashed potatoes with gravy, corn, and peas. Sometimes, they'll have different sides, so I'll do the cheesy broccoli. This place is located at the Makai Market Food Court at Ala Moana Center. read more
