Came here with my Yelp friend. It had been on my list forever, and I was so happy to finally try…read moreit. It's tucked away in the corner of a strip mall, and I've probably passed it a gazillion times and never even noticed it was there. My friend had called the day before to see if there was anything gluten-free on the menu. They were so helpful when we showed up. They had remembered her call and could tell her exactly what was gluten free. This is a very casual order at the counter kind of place. The dining room is simple, but that's okay because the focus is on the yummy food. They have single plates and double plates on the menu. I got a plate that had kalbi and kalua pork. It was served with white rice, macaroni salad, and kimchi. It was amazing! The pork tasted Smoky and delicious, the kalbi beef had just the right amount of sweetness to it. The macaroni salad was also perfect. I got quite a bit of food for my money. I was able to make it into two meals because there was no way I was going to finish it in one sitting. I really like Hawaiian food, and this one is so much better than some of the chain restaurants. It's slightly more in price, but it's 100% worth it. We sat and talked for a couple hours at least. While we were sitting, there was a period when every table was taken. So it does seem like quite a few people know about this place and come. I highly recommend it!

My wife and I have eaten here several times in the past without major issue, and we keep going back…read morebecause we generally enjoy it. This past Sunday, Mother's Day 2026, I stopped in around 3:45 to pick up dinner with chicken teriyaki, beef bugolgi, tempura shrimp, white rice, and green salad. It was the only meal of the day that we each ate from the same establishment. After I ordered, I heard the guy cooking complain to the cashier girls up front that it would be awhile, but they didn't repeat the concerns to me, so I didn't pay it any mind. Overnight, Sunday night/ Monday morning, my wife and I both became violently ill. I think maybe that chicken that was gonna take too long to cook, wasn't cooked all the way. It doesn't matter how many times I've eaten here in the past without incident. That was an absolutely terrible experience, and I won't risk it happening again, just because the cook wants to get out of work early. I will never eat here again.

I ordered the **spicy garlic chicken plate** and **Spam musubi**, and wow--everything was *so*…read moregood. The chicken was perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and had just the right amount of heat with that delicious garlic kick. The Spam musubi was fresh, savory, and exactly how it should be--simple but absolutely satisfying. You can really taste the authenticity in the food. The owners are genuinely kind, welcoming, and friendly, which makes the whole experience even better. It feels like a place that truly cares about their food and their customers and Ambiance! I'll definitely be back. Highly recommend!

You have the option of adding more or less veggies, rice or Mac salad. Ordering was very easy as you get the option of ordering in person or at the kiosk. I'd say I waited about 5-10 min for two orders. The chicken katsu had the perfect crispness, not dry at all. The BBQ was my favorite, can't go wrong. They are generous with the amount per plate, which definitely worth the price. If you're craving Hawaiian bbq, stop by this spot you won't be disappointed.

She proceeded to try to give me the wrong order and when i told her hey thats not mine im a different number she goes "it's the chicken katsu, do you not want the mac" nope thats why i ordered with no mac. Proceeded to grab it and give it back to the ppl to remake. No sorry. Nothing. Gets it right, brings it out and just says "here's that chicken katsu" and just left it on the counter. No eye contact, no have a good day. If you're going to have people in the front at least make them seem like they don't hate their lives. Food is always good here tho. Ass service

OK, we've been big fans of Caldwell's BBQ for years and somehow had never made it over to…read moreCaldwell's Mexi-Q... big mistake on our part--especially since it combines two of my all-time favorite things...brisket and tacos! Parking was a breeze, and since there were three of us (including one never-full teenager ), we went for the Mexi-Q Platter and added an extra birria taco so everyone could try one. It absolutely lived up to the hype! The surprise standout? The brisket tostada--sooooo flavorful and satisfying on every level! We also loved the sausage link, Mexi-Q twinkies (aka smoked jalapeños stuffed with brisket and cream cheese, then wrapped in bacon ), and honestly, everything we tried was a hit. For sides, we ordered Grandma's Calabacitas (a yummy squash veggie mix), roasted cream elote, and Julio's mac n' cheese (which I skipped, but the guys were big fans). We wrapped up this phenomenal meal with their GF banana pudding (they offer both GF and regular options), and it was seriously scrumptious--such a treat to have a gluten-free dessert that feels just as special! From the moment we walked in, the service was warm and attentive. They double-checked that everything we ordered (minus the mac n' cheese) was gluten-free, which is always such a relief. It means so much when a place truly understands gluten and can clearly guide you on what's safe. We sat outside and soaked up the beautiful weather--it was the perfect setting for such a fun and tasty meal! An easily awarded and well deserved

I liked that sauce so much that I'd consider going back just to try it on some of their other bbq. I didn't like the brisket birria taco as much because it was way too salty for me.

Someone in the back simply deep-fried it and called it a day. The katsu sauce tasted more like a mix of BBQ sauce and ketchup, lacking the umami depth and subtle sweetness I usually expect. The mac salad was decent, though I prefer Ono's version by a wide margin. Service was quick and efficient, done Chipotle-style where they assemble your bowl in front of you. The ambiance was relaxed and fast-casual. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience, but it's not a place I'd return to.

Can't wait to try some ramen as most of the customers seemed to order some which bodes well for a good broth.

Complimentary water on each table is a nice touch and the chicken karaage appetizer is under $10. Overall, prices are okay.
