    Came here a few days later to try something else. I ordered the #4 Chicken Mixed Plate for my husband which includes Chicken Katsu, BBQ Chicken, rice and mac salad. The Chicken Katsu was good like any other place we went to. They gave 2 good size pieces of BBQ Chicken and it was really tasty...yum! For $13.59 and all that food, it was a good price and lasted for 2 meals. I ordered the Chinese Chicken Salad for myself. This hefty salad included lettuce, cabbage, cucumbers, carrots, strips of BBQ Chicken, one ton strips and peanuts all for $12.95...it was a mound that passed the rim of the take out container. Their salad was really good and it also lasted for 2 meals. Lots of food we want to try so we'll be back!

    Small area to dine in. Two tables with 4 seats each. Ordered two deluxe cheeseburgers and fries. It was tasty and homemade and fries were crinkled! It's very hot inside though with one ceiling fan. But the good food makes up for it. I would suggest some tower fans for patrons who opt to dine in. Other than that- friendly service and affordable prices for great food! I recommend this place for a good lunch option.

    We ordered the mix plate and the garlic chicken which came with rice and mac salad. This spots a super hole in the wall with no seating inside. You actually can't even order no inside and just at the door. However, the lady working there was sweet and our food was ready very quickly. As everyone stated, the portion size is pretty big. The pricing is affordable compared to most places! I would say the garlic chicken was mostly batter and thin pieces of chicken but the mix plate is worth it! The meats were well seasoned and tender. Next time I will definitely get the mixed plate.

    Takeout lunch in Aiea, O'ahu, Hawaii... I was in real starvation mode when I figured out that i was hungry because I hadn't had lunch yet. It was after 3pm when I looked through my list of places that i haven't visited. M & M BBQ had pretty good reviews from friends such as Bruddah Fran, Rod U., Peter T., Emi H. (Former Community Manager of Yelp Hawaii), Clay Y., Kathy Y., Cathy T. (Former Yelp Hawaii Ambassador), and Mikey C. Of Ventura! Located on the ground level of a two-story building, next to the former Aiea Library, M & M BBQ is takeout only. The entrance of the restaurant was blocked off with a table. Order and pay here. If you have cash, you can avoid the credit card fee. Service was pleasant and efficient! I got my Hamburger Mix Plate and BBQ Mix plate quite quickly. I ate the Hamburger first... real comfort food! The beef stew (with tender meat, but slightly bland gravy) was hidden under the teri beef. I didn't really care for the teri beef, but it filled my tummy! Next, I was disappointed in the BBQ short ribs (kalbi), but was pleasantly surprised by the BBQ chicken... wow! And I don't really like chicken! This one was well marinated and yummy! The rice was good and the macaroni salad was great! Gosh... It all evened out! The prices were reasonable! I'll be back!

    Always great to come back here either for breakfast, lunch or dinner. We love to support small business / mom and pops shops. They're the ones that brings back to old school days. Their portion on the mink loco Moco was just right for me and the Mr. Had the bento special that filled him right up! Mahalo M&M BBQ for another satisfying yummy in our tummy ;)

    We are visiting island on vacation and this was our first stop to eat. We were all hungry! Food lives up to the ratings. We all ate everything on our plates and portion size is good too. Unfortunately, we had to eat outside by door but it made meal even better. Definitely worth the stop.

    I happened upon this place situated right across the Aiea Library. A Small littlr hole in thr wall next to island manapua. This is strictly take out only. They say they open at 8:30 am and they literally come in to open thr shop at 8:30am. An asian lady and man more past the middle age. They was old skool ..very appreciative and service oriented. The food is your typical plate lunch fare and thr portions are decent and prices very affordable. If you are looking to grab good food at fair prices give them a try..nothing wrong here.

    We were looking for a local spot near Pearl Harbor and found M&M a mile away. Highly recommend making the drive and grabbing a meal. The prices are also good!

    Food and prices are good here. The beef curry was really tender and went really good with their mac salad. The hamburger patties are homemade which is hard to find nowadays. It's only take out no dine in anymore.

    Sweet & Sour Spareribs
    S M.

    Tried the sweet & sour spareribs for $11.90 and found it to be delicious and they gave a lot. The lady working was very friendly and sweet. This is definitely a hidden gem.

    A friendly recommendation got my family to try bb.q Chicken and we're so happy we did!…read more This location is within a strip mall with descent parking. The restaurant is smaller but it was clean and the cashier was fine. We ordered the Soy Garlic wings(powerful but good), Gang-Jeong(A Must Try) wings plate with rice, a Secret sauce boneless wings mini-plate with Mac salad and fries, Ddeok-Bokki and 2 sides of fried Mandoo. It was a reasonable 10-15 minute wait and the food came out hot and delicious. We paid nearly $80 for our meal so I can't see us becoming regulars but it was worth the try and it'll have a place on our special occasions options list.

    The chicken is definitely tasty--crispy, flavorful, and satisfying when you're craving Korean fried…read morechicken. The sides are good too, and overall the food quality is solid. The restaurant itself is clean, comfortable, and air conditioned, which makes it easy to sit down and enjoy your meal. The staff is efficient and gets the job done, although they come across a little like young efficient robots--polite enough, but not much personality or warmth. My only real issue is the price. It is hard for me to justify spending $17+ for a plate with just a few pieces of boneless chicken and some sides. If the prices were a little more reasonable, or the portions included a bit more chicken, I could justify a 5-star rating. For now, it is a solid 4 stars based on the cost-to-value ratio. The food is good enough that I would still come back once in a while.

    If you're just looking for the cliff notes the food is good but a bit pricy…read more With that out of the way I decided to try this place after seeing the sign and checking out the yelp pics. I was surprised to see the place pretty empty on a Friday night around 7. I went to the bar to order take out and the guy working was really nice and took my takeout order. I will say it smelled amazing in the restaurant. Food took about 10 mins to come out. The catfish was great, two pretty big pieces very well seasoned. The Mac and Cheese and Yams was also pretty good. I will say the Mac tasted better than it looked and I only say that because at first glance it didn't seem to have much cheese but I was wrong. The corn bread tasted good but was dry. I warmed it and added some butter and that didn't trick. The only thing I personally wasn't a fan of was the greens. They weren't necessarily bad but like Keith Lee says I don't know if I'm their target audience. They tasted a bit sweet and there was something else in the seasoning that I wasn't a huge fan of but couldn't quite put my finger on. I almost forgot the plate came with "yellow seasoned rice" which is under the fish on the Mac side. Honestly it's a free inclusion so not super fair to judge it. Everything in the picture was about $47 bucks. In my opinion that's a bit high and I'm guessing that's because it's in Waikīkī. I definitely plan to go back especially to try the Happy Hour, and I'd like to dine in to see how that goes.

We were right there, so I ordered a Smoked BBQ Rib plate. It came with 2 sides. We chose Baked beans and Green beans with smoked turkey. Service was very friendly and efficient! I believe that they worker said, "I appreciate you!" Wow! That's very nice of him! We took the plate home (it was too windy to sit alongside the busy sidewalk) and discussed the tasty ribs, sweet (molasses?) Baked beans and yummy green beans with smoked turkey. Mmm! I would return and get the catfish plate, Po Boy sandwich, and walking tacos!

    Banana Pudding: 0/5…read more I was grabbing breakfast nearby at the Koa Pancake House but I've seen that this place had banana pudding on their menu. So I swung by on my way out to the parking lot for a sweet treat for later. I have to say this is probably one of the worst banana puddings I've ever had. It's one of my favorite desserts so I've had plenty from all over the country. If it's on the menu, there's a 90% chance I'm going to buy it. Their's tastes artificial. The pudding was reminiscent of a snack pack, but something about it made it taste worse. I don't know if it was additional sugar or how long I had been sitting in their fridge, but the pudding was pretty bad. There's maybe three or four nilla wafers on the bottom and one on the top for presentation. For the few wafers on the bottom, there was a slice of banana on top. Potentially totaling maybe three slices. For those slices, though, the banana was not ripe. You could tell the banana slices needed a few more days before use. Overall, I was wildly disappointed. I would highly not recommend their banana pudding, which is such a shame. I wished I loved it but sadly 0/5. The best part of the whole pudding was the 4 soft wafers. If that's the case, that should tell you something.

Main entree choices are: Mochiko Chicken, BBQ Chicken, Chicken Katsu, Fried Shrimp, Fried Fish, Shrimp Tempura, Meat Jun or Musubi Combo. The veggie choices are: Choy Sum, Corn, Kim Chee, Shoyu Potato, Bean Sprouts or Japchae. You can substitute the rice for an extra veggie. I ordered the Meat Jun with Choy Sum.

I would definitely return to try something different. This place is in Palama Supermarket that's located at Waimalu Shopping Center. Lots of free parking but this complex is always busy. Sometimes it's hard to find so park at the first stall that's empty. There are 2 entrances/exits that circles around so if you can't find parking, you have to circle around again because the isle is only one-way.

    Hawaii's transient food scene continues to impress. This time with a truck serving modern Filipino…read morefood. To assume all the food of the Philippines all taste the same would be to assume all food from China taste the same. That said, where this food draws its influence from is unlike mainstream Filipino flavors in Hawaii. For example, the pancit uses wide almost "Chinese" style alkali noodles stir fried in a dark soy sauce, a fermented seafood sauce, crispy garlic, colorful bell peppers, long beans topped with three well cooked, head and shell on shrimp and garnished with crab eggs, and chives. Tear off the head, squeeze out the head fat, squeeze the fresh lime wedge and mix into the pancit and it opens up a whole next level of seafood goodness. The chicken inasal is great eats. Beautifully marinated then grilled chicken hindquarter sat atop a bed of crispy shallot rice garnished with pickled cucumber. Shredding the chicken, mixing in the Chinese style ginger onion sauce, adding the accompanying soy based sauce and mixing all the pickles and rice together makes for one absolutely delicious concoction. Lots of other modern Filipino fusion dishes to try. Their version of mini lumpia bites are perfect for the meat lover, filled almost entirely with seasoned ground pork. Refrying leftovers creates and ethereal crisp outer shell making day two even better. Creative drinks available. None sampled yet. Food is made to order. Expect a 15-20 minute wait. Follow on IG for changes in hours. Located in the Pearlridge Wai Makai food truck row. Worthy of a try for something different and new.
