Incredible Hawaiian BBQ! The tonkatsu is perfectly crispy, the BBQ chicken is super flavorful, and the short ribs are incredibly tender. The portions here are massive--definitely generous enough for sharing, though you might want it all to yourself. Everything was fresh, delicious, and hit the spot. Highly recommend if you're craving authentic comfort food! Very quick food to go! read more

SEP2025 Ordered some hawaiian for delivery. Food was quick to make it to our door. For this we had gotten the chicken katsu, mac salad, and bbq chicken with fried egg saimin. Solid for what we ordered. Mac salad was on point. the portions were nice across the board. For the bbq chicken with saimin, the broth had a nice savory taste. I'd say it would've been nice for more noodles to balance things out. Or even getting more on the side if the size of the bowl was the issue. We definitely liked the chicken katsu. Great crunch retention despite delivery and the amount of meat was great overall. Definitely worthwhile since it's just a comfort some days, so we have a good option to return to. read more

This spot just opened in the Stony Point plaza and I had to try it out! Service for takeout is quick and efficient, the portion sizes are fair and always leave me full! The Chicken Curry Katsu comes with large meaty pieces of chicken thigh battered and fried to perfection and the curry sauce is aromatic, savory and perfect consitency! Probably my new favorite Hawaiian restaurant in the area. read more

After a long day, we decided to invite the kids over and order the Luau Family Meal (serves 4) . It comes with choice of 3 main items plus 8 scoops of rice and 4 scoops of mac salad. For our protein we decided on: Curry chicken katsu BBQ beef BBQ chicken The server at the counter was thoughtful and brought our food to us when it was ready. The bag sure was heavy! When we got home we served our dinner with a big salad, (hoping to feel a little less guilty for eating so many carbs). The food and service were no different than our first visit. The people here are so friendly, sweet, and helpful. It was dinner hour so there were some families dining inside plus others waiting to order behind us. Glad to see they are doing good business. We all enjoyed our meal and had lots of leftovers after feeding four adults. Our favorite was the mac salad and the curry chicken katsu. read more

Luau Hawaiian BBQ - Family Meal: BBQ beef - Hawaiian Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

Luau Hawaiian BBQ in Santa Rosa was a solid stop on my loco moco crusade. It has a warm, family-owned vibe, and you can really taste the care they put into the cooking. The loco moco did not disappoint with the beef patties being juicy and flavorful, the gravy was rich and satisfying, and everything came together perfectly over a couple of scoops of rice with two over easy eggs on top. I also really enjoyed the macaroni salad, which was creamy and well seasoned. I wished they gave a little bit more rice to soak up more of the sauce, so I should have ordered extra. Prices here are very fair, and the service was quick and super friendly. The restaurant is clean with both indoor and outdoor seating, and there's even a bathroom inside which is always appreciated. The parking lot is spacious, and since the plaza has a bunch of other food spots, it's a great place to mix and match if you're grabbing food with friends. While I was eating an early dinner, there was a steady stream of people coming in every few minutes, which tells me this place has a loyal following. If you're in the area or on your own loco moco mission, Luau is definitely worth a stop. Great flavors, welcoming staff, and solid value make it a place I'd happily return to. read more

Luau Hawaiian BBQ is a great place if you are craving Hawaiian food in a fast casual environment. The restaurant is in a shopping center, but there was definitely plenty of parking. when we got to the restaurant, we were greeted by the staff and the owner and it was pretty easy to order. The restaurant itself is very clean. I ordered the short rib and fried shrimp combo with the mac salad. The food was great. I think I will order the ribs to be a little bit more well done because I like the charred flavor. Can't wait to come back! read more

Luau Hawaiian BBQ - Combo with short ribs and fried shrimp - Hawaiian Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

Great food. I ordered the Bbq mix plate and it was a ton of food. Fast service, huge portions and great flavor.

I've been trying different Hawaiian food spots for the past few months to find the absolute best. I saw this place had some good reviews so k decided to try it since I was in the area. I got the combo plate with Kalua pork and chicken katsu, plus a side of three fried shrimp. I'll start with the cons; the kalua pork was dry, making it hard to eat. The three shrimp looked big but unfortunately the batter to shrimp ratio was way off. Everything else was great. The service was pleasant and quick. The chicken katsu was crispy and flavorful. The best part though was the macaroni! It's the best I've had from any other Hawaiian BBQ place. I would definitely come back and just not order the kalua pork read more

Delicious Hawaiian BBQ! It was juicy and very flavorful. Great portions, clean and friendly staff.

First time eating here. Food was tasty and the price was fair. I give it 5 stars for that, but my only complaint is that I have is this; I got the BBQ Mix which included baby ribs. Those were not good. All gristle and hardly any meat. Other than that, a great meal. read more

We came for a weekday lunch. The place was clean, Hawaiian music played softly in the background, & there were table & bar seating options inside, as well as tables outside. The lady who handled our order at the counter was friendly, smiley, & helpful. We ordered two 2-Item Combo Plates--one with BBQ Chicken & BBQ Beef, the other with Volcano Chicken Katsu & BBQ Beef. Everything was delicious! The meats were flavorful, juicy, & tender. The Katsu had good texture with a sweet, spicy sauce. We were offered additional sauces too. Rice was good, mac salad had just the right amount of mayo for my preference. The generous portions easily filled us up & then some. We had a pleasant experience & really satisfying lunch here!!! read more

My son and I loved this place!! The prices are extremely reasonable, the portions are huge and the combo meals are made fresh-to-order. We had zero complaints! Especially tasty was the bbq shredded pork and the huge prawns (shrimp). I'm pretty picky about macaroni salad, but theirs was REALLY GOOD. Lots of mayonnaise; not dry like most restaurants. We will be coming back very soon! read more

My first time walking into luau, I immediately felt uncomfortable the moment I got to the cash register, not from the two workers at the cash register who welcomed me in. The old lady worker made me uncomfortable she stares with a mean face giving me a look like I'm taking forever to order my food. Whole time waiting for my food she just staring at me from the grill, I wanted to eat inside but her looking at me I wanted to leave immediately. Other than that the food was amazing! I would give it 5 stars but the old lady pretty much ruined my experience. read more

Affordable and tasty Hawaiian BBQ. We ordered food to go and it took about 10-15minutes for our food to be ready. I ordered the BBQ mix plate which comes with grilled chicken, grilled beef, and short ribs. My bf got the Mochiko Chicken. Both plates were delicious and the meats were seasoned well. The BBQ mix plate was $14.99 and the Mochiko Chicken plate was $13.95. Each plate comes with 2 scoops of white rice and 1 scoop of macaroni salad. We opted to swap the 2 scoops of white rice for macaroni salad which only cost 70 cents to do so. We will be coming back to try their other dishes such as the spam musubis and loco moco. read more

This place is fantastic! I had only ever tried this type of food at te Hawaii bbq location on Santa Rosa Avenue (located by Trader Joe's), but this place is much closer to my parents house, therefore, it's definitely more convenient. The option sizes are quite huge and i can make 2-3 meals out of one combo order. I have gotten the chicken, ribs and beef and none of the meats disappoint. So much flavor in each bite! For $14, it definitely is a bargain (especially with the absurd price fast food costs now a days). The staff is super helpful and so nice. Definitely worth checking out! read more

Excellent Hawaiian BBQ! My husband and I order the BBQ chicken and Volcano Chicken Katsu. Each order came with decent amount of chicken, two scoops of rice and one scoop of macaroni salad. The BBQ chicken was moist and delicious and sat on a bed of cabbage. The katsu was nice and crispy with a flavorful sauce. I typically don't like macaroni salads, but this one had a nice flavor to it. The staff greets you with a smile and is attentive. There's seating inside and out. I like the picnic table style option for the outside seating. Enjoyed my lunch. Thank you! read more

Food here is spectacular, I don't have pictures because I always devour it, (quite literally). Prices are reasonable my go to is the beef bbq bowl, it comes with white rice, macaroni salad and the beef bbq. The service is good the workers are friendly and are honest with what is their favorite dish. It has a mellow vibe to eating here and they have outside picnic tables where you can eat. I normally get this at least once a week. You should totally come here and check it out for yourself, in my opinion it's one of the new best spots in town. Now go try it for yummy food! read more

Husband ordered chicken Katsu and it was a huge serving. Definitely shareable...it was delicious!

The food was great. They could even lay off a little of the brine for the meat and be fine. The Mac salad was not the best but very good. White rice as normal, the cabbage underneath was not cooked so a little of a disappointment there. Overall i would say that this is the best Hawaiian in town. read more

We were so excited to see a Hawaiian BBQ place closer to us. We ordered the Spam Musubi and a mixed plate (as well as a an extra scoop of Mac salad). Outside appearance was clean. And inside was just as nice. Everything was flavorful and cooked well. The spam could have used a little more color and crisp but that's only my personal preference. The Mac was creamy and super flavorful. The rice had the perfect texture. We will definitely be back to try some different items. read more

I was sitting in the parking lot by Exchange bank when I notice the sign of Luau Hawaiian BBQ so of course I had to try it out. When I went in there it's kinda small has 4 tables and by the windows there were 2 long tables with multiple seats. It was clean there was Hawaiian music playing so I ordered my go to meal at any Hawaiian Restaurant the chicken katsu with a 2pc spam Musubi. Prices were comparable to Ohana and the place in Coddingtown. It had your standard sides 2 scoops of rice and Mac salad they didn't have a soda machine you either had your pick of soda or the Hawaiian drinks I picked Dr. Pepper. The food was good along with the Spam Musubi. The counter person was friendly it must've need there grand opening week. And yes I would go there again . read more

Love that there's another Hawaiian bbq spot in town as I have been going to Ohana for decades. I would say the similarities are there between the two from the bbq combo plates to the taste. Luau offers a bit more such as the burgers, salads and bowls. I ordered 1 bbq chicken plate and 1 seafood combo plate (shrimp, fish and short ribs). I love the taste, fresh seafood and the mac salad was bomb! I will be back to try their saimin noodle soup and grilled fish plate! read more

My husband and I ordered the combo plate, and we picked BBQ Beef and Chicken Katsu w/ Volcano Sauce! Very generous portions. Both of us were full from the 2-choice combo plate. Excellent service. Extra sauce isn't charged -- they even offered it at the register! The staff working the counter brought our order to us, and asked us if we needed anything else afterwards. Very sweet. Can't go wrong with chicken katsu -- tender with very crispy bread crumbing. The sauce gives some relief from the especial crispness on some bites. Super yummy. The volcano sauce was very strong -- almost like an acidic sweet n' sour sauce. I'm glad I had it on the side as I think it would have overpowered the chicken by itself. The sauce also helped with the BBQ Beef, which was pretty standard as far as beef goes: a bit dry, not much notable flavor, but it works. Recommend ordering another type of meat instead of BBQ Beef. Overall, great spot! Yummy chicken katsu, accommodating service, and generous portions. read more

Had take out service. Order was accurate and on time. Food was good. Had the bbq beef and chicken katsu. Beef had a lot of gristle and hard to chew. The chicken katsu was good but the volcano sauce not to my liking. Mac salad was just okay. read more

Fresh, fast and tasty! The volcano Katsu Curry was crispy warm and tasty. The volcano sauce is zesty and spicy and adds so much flavor. The Mac salad and rice was fresh and tasty. The spam Musubi was really good. I don't usually love them but I could tell that it was really fresh and warm. It was well seasoned and I really enjoyed it! I wit definitely be back to get the hamburgers and the loco moco. It's a fast casual spot that pumps out fresh food. There are not a lot of tables, so it's a spot to swing in and grab take out. The food was ready fast. I'm so excited to have this awesome gem in the neighborhood. read more

Food was great at a good value. We are homesick Hawaiians and this was better than Honolulu.

Good, solid, quality Hawaiian food. My wife and I went here a week or two ago. There were 5 or 6 Santa Rosa cops picking up food to go, so I figured it had to be good. I cleaned up my whole order of Malia pork, rice and mac. We'll be back. read more

Great local gem for quick, yummy affordable Hawaiian food. They have an impressive menu with your typical Hawaiian fare like kalbi ribs, bbq meats, musubi and even pork Lau Lau. I ordered the volcano chicken katsu bowl which came with rice and mac salad, all under $10. Large portion sizes and the food was so yummy. Really chill place to dine in as well, relaxing and lots of seating. I highly recommend this place. read more

The volcano chicken Katsu is so good but I would skip the BBQ short rib I paid an extra 3 almost 4 dollars for it and it had no flavor/seasoning. One of the pieces was literally a tiny sliver of fat attached to bone not worth it. Other than that it was a good experience the staff is super nice and its really clean inside. read more

Perfect place. Really generous portions, nice menu, and great food. I think this is the best Musubi around...

Food is amazing and fresh. Portion sizes are incomparable to the other local Hawaiian restaurants . The staff was super friendly. What I loved most was that the food didn't taste greasy that's how fresh it was. read more
