    Mr. T.

    This place was an excellent choice for lunch. The fish was beautifully fried and tender inside. Can't go wrong with white rice, macaroni salad, vegetables.

    I should have read the reviews before coming here ‍ The food wasn't good at all. The macaroni salad which is usually may favorite at other Hawaiian BBQ spots was incredibly bland. It tasted like nothing. I couldn't taste mayo, tuna, salt. It was a complete let down. My Katsu chicken looked raw. I'm not sure if they marinade it in something that makes it that color? But I certainly wasn't brave enough to try it.

    The good: The best katsu chicken I've ever had!! (They also have shrimp but I haven't tried it)…read more The sauce is great and the rice is perfect. Large portions. The cashiers and workers are nice, work hard, and the food comes out fast. It seems like most of their business is online ordering for pick up. Everything behind the counter and in the kitchen was spotless. The not-so good: The restaurant is located inside a food court and there are no signs outside the building that name the restaurants that are inside. We had to turn on Maps to find the location. I'm not sure if the tables inside are cleaned by the individual restaurants or are cleaned by a food court employee... but we had to check for sticky tables when trying to find a seat. The Mac salad has tuna in it. It's not to my liking but my husband really enjoyed it. I highly recommend splitting a combo plate(s) with your favorite person and try to avoid leftovers. The reheated katsu and rice just isn't the same as when it's fresh.... So even with having to check the tables - I do recommend eating at the food court for the freshest and tastiest experience

I ordered the spicy shrimp plate, a spicy mixed plate, and the two chicken sando combo, which came with a spam brûlée musubi shot. Everything was pretty solid and flavorful. You can tell they do what they do well. That said, the menu is pretty limited. Most items are just variations of the same thing--chicken sandwich, chicken plate, or shrimp plate--so there's not a ton of variety. Because of that, it all kind of blends together. It's located inside a food court, which makes it super casual and easy to stop by, and parking is plentiful, which is always a plus. Overall, it was good and I'd come back, just not something I'm craving all the time. Solid 4 stars.

One of our…read morefavorite Hawaiian restaurants is Aloha Hawaiian Barbecue in Costa Mesa near South Coast Plaza, so we had high expectations going in. The portions here were a little smaller, but the quality was amazing. The white rice with furikake was great, and the mac salad was fresh with a slightly sweeter taste, which I loved. I got the teriyaki plate with chicken and beef teriyaki, and both were tender, juicy, flavorful, and well marinated. The short ribs had an amazing glaze, and the chicken katsu, my girlfriend's favorite, was crispy, juicy, and not overfried at all. Their customer service was amazing too. My girlfriend ran in to grab our food and realized after coming back that she forgot the katsu and teriyaki sauces. When she went back in, the girl working was kind enough to grab them and even asked if she wanted to try any other sauces. Great customer service and amazing food, perfect pair! I highly recommend checking this spot out, and we're definitely looking forward to coming back.

    Online ordering doesn't have the option to omit furikake. Since sesame is a common allergy, this…read moreis a big miss for online ordering. As far as flavor, Cajun shrimp was extremely salty. Since that was the only dish not covered in furikake, it's the only one I was able to eat. I thought giving this place a second chance since it had great reviews was a good idea. I should have stuck to my original plan to pass on this spot Definitely the very last time coming here. Not worth the 15 min drive. I'll stick to actual Hawaiian food @ North Shore in Norco. That's worth the drive.

But the bbq chicken and bbq beef were right on the money. I did have a problem paying $24 for one combo and one drink, as even with these three items, I was still expecting the meal to not be more than $20 total. That will be the main reason I probably won't return. The service was good. It was quick and friendly. And the ambiance was alright too as everything was clean, efficient, and not distracting. I just agree with the statement earlier that there are better rice bowl, hawaiian, and/or teriyaki food joints in the area at either a much better quality or better pricing. This seems to find that line where what you get, though good, is a bit over-priced for what you get and there is no recourse to get something smaller because then you will be over-paying and still hungry. I'd almost give this place a 4 though because I did enjoy the meal quality-wise.
