    I've been really craving Hawaiian food lately. We went to Hawaii about a year ago, and I've been missing it so much, so we've been trying a bunch of Hawaiian spots around Southern California. Out of all of them, Maui's Hawaiian BBQ is easily the most authentic and my favorite one so far. The prices are super affordable. We got a combo plate with multiple types of protein for around $20, and they really pack it in. The portions are generous, and the food quality is consistently great. We've been here multiple times, and it's always fresh, juicy, and full of flavor. There's plenty of seating, and they've got a ton of sauces, which I love for dipping. The menu is huge, seriously, you can find just about anything you'd expect from a good Hawaiian BBQ spot, and I think they even do catering too. We also grabbed musubis this time, and they were delicious. Overall, this place hits the spot every single time. It's affordable, consistent, and honestly feels the closest to what we had in Hawaii.

    Loco moco over medium pretty good

    I did not have high expectations for this place not for any particular reason but it was actually I satisfying experience. Parking was easy restaurant appeared clean the staff was friendly and I got my food pretty quick and it was made to order fresh. Not 5 stars because the spam music has too much seaweed not enough spam and the price for the loco moco is a bit strong but it is good and lots of food. So good value just felt it was sit down restaurant price

    The rib was the only decent thing Katsu doesn't taste good, had to put a lot of sauce to eat it . The bbq chicken super hard and chewy. I'd definitely not spend /$20+ there again The cashier was nice lady tho, Inside looks a bit messy as well, corner the ceiling is missing , and a lot black bags I was craving Hawaiian, definitely disappointed me

    Bbq beef no cabbage extra Mac  F****ing amazing

    The spicy chicken was bomb, juicy. Got it right before closing but it was still fire. Macaroni salad was great, too

    It tastes like it was made in maui. And then it was shipped to the brea store and reheated.

From the moment we walked in, she stood out for all the right reasons. Her customer service skills are genuinely top-tier--she greeted us with a warm, sincere smile that instantly made us feel welcome and comfortable. Casie has such a pleasant and approachable demeanor. She took the time to really engage with us, making sure we felt taken care of without ever seeming rushed or distracted. What impressed us most is how attentive she is--she listened carefully and offered thoughtful recommendations based on what we might enjoy. If you're unsure what to order, she's the perfect person to guide you. Her suggestions were spot-on and made the whole dining experience even better. Beyond her professionalism, Casie has a wonderful personality that shines through in every interaction. She brings such positive energy to the environment--it's clear she enjoys what she does, and it reflects in how she treats people. On top of that, her beautiful complexion and confident presence add to her overall charm, making her truly memorable. It's rare to come across someone who combines efficiency, friendliness, and genuine care so effortlessly. Casie goes above and beyond to make sure every guest leaves satisfied, and that level of service deserves recognition. Because of her, we'll definitely be returning to Matiki BBQ and recommending it to others.

One woman in particular (presumably a manager or long-time employee) was shockingly, aggressively rude in a way that's hard to overstate. She barked orders and accusations at customers with zero patience, yelling over trivial things that no reasonable person could possibly know or control. Her tone was dripping with contempt, her attitude unapologetically hostile, and her behavior screamed ignorance wrapped in unearned entitlement. Zero warmth, zero professionalism--just pure, unfiltered disdain for the very people paying her bills. No one should have to endure being treated like an inconvenience or an idiot just to eat decent barbecue. The food might be worth a try if you're willing to stomach verbal abuse, but for most of us, it's not. Her complete lack of basic decency and customer service skills makes this place actively unpleasant. I won't be back, and I can't in good conscience recommend it to anyone who values being treated like a human being. One star only because the ribs themselves don't deserve zero--but she absolutely does.
