We decided on the kalbi short ribs, chicken katsu, and the ribeye. They have great mac, and the steak sauce and the action sauce enhance the overall flavor. All three meat choices were fire.

I remember back in the 80s Aloha Kitchen was the only gig in town and their grindes was supa ono. Their food sucks now. They always over cook the chicken katsu so now they over cooked the bulkogi. The mac salad is a plate lunch staple and they even managed to screw that up so it tasted like crap. I got the fried saimin and that wasn't too bad...I rate it a 2 out of 5. As of today 8.5.26, no manapua available. This may be a blessing in disguise. This place has fallen really far from what they used to be when Ray and Lynn ran it. Aloha Kitchen is as bad as the dumpster fire Ono Hawaiian BBQ. Sorry, but not recommended to the point of hell no, never again.

By far, top three Hawaiian BBQ in the valley. I've been coming to Leo's Island BBQ for years and…read morenoticed that I have never reviewed them! Shame on me to not share this gem that should be celebrated by all. First, the mac salad at Leo's is hands down my favorite! For the entree, anything curry, shrimp or chicken. I am drooling as I write this! The curry hits you in all the right spots as you take your first bite. The vegetables with the curry are firm enough to not turn into mush and tender enough to eat without teeth :-).... I do not think I've had a plate at Leo's that I have not enjoyed. The dinning area is always clean, even when the line is out the door. The drink station and condiment area is equally as clean and orderly regardless of the amount of people inside. As for the crowds, I've seen UFC fighters, baseball players and ordinary folks like you and I getting their fix at Leo's! I love seeing the same employees for the years that I've been going. Even though I am one face of many that they see. They are very welcoming to every customer who walks in. I can't tell you enough. You must try this place if you have not yet. I just hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

We got a chicken short rib combo and a garlic shrimp plate, both are huge. There were two scoops of…read morerice and a scoop of mac salad. The mac salad was fresh and tasted good. I liked their chicken and short rib plate, there was chicken katsu, bbq chicken, and beef short rib for $17, which is very good price. The chicken katsu was crispy and not dry on the inside. The short ribs was grilled perfectly and not burnt. However, I'm not a big fan of their garlic shrimp, it wasn't garlicky enough for me, and kind of lack of what garlic shrimp should have-flavor. The amount of shrimp was generous though. Overall, good price and will try other plate next time.

The above two were basically the same except the first had plain teriyaki soy sauce while the second must have had sriracha sauce mixed into it. The HONOLULU Chicken Is a Savory Chicken Infused With Fresh Garlic, Green Onions And Sesame. It is basically the same as the first one, but with the fresh garlic, green onions, and sesame. They both have the same soy sauce teriyaki sauce. The LUAU Pig Is Slow Roasted kalua Pork seasoned with Hawaiian Sea Salt. The Seasoned Vegetables were very salty and flaccid. The KILAUEA Chicken was a Sweet & Spicy Grilled Chicken With a Lava Hot Kick. I thought it tasted much like the second dish, but with even more sriracha sauce mixed into the soy sauce. The meal has the meat on a bed of rice and There is Also a rice ball in one of the sections. The other section has macaroni. They also have DOLE Soft Serve. It is a Tropical Soft Serve that IS Fat-Free, Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free, Low Calories. Service is pretty fast.

It had a good balance of rice and Spam and I'd definitely order it again. A couple things kept it from being 5 stars. I asked for rice only, but they still gave me mac salad and vegetables, which was a little annoying. I also wasn't a big fan of the mac salad. The plate looks huge at first, but I'd guess there was around a pound and a half of warm lettuce underneath the meat, so it isn't quite as much food as it seems. It also would've been nice if the chicken came pre-cut since it was a little inconvenient having to cut it myself. Even with that, the portions are still solid and I'd say it stacks up pretty well with Hawaiian Bros. It's definitely a different style, but I'd come back.

I lived in Hawaii and know good Polynesian cuisine but Jeff and the Island Loco crew bring the islands here...for real. Some tips: The fusion tacos are awesome -- the corn and black bean salsa is to die for. The kalua pork is great, but my favorite was a simple teriyaki chicken bowl with a side of mac salad. But if you really want the money dish, be sure to get whatever entree you like with a side salad and the extraordinary sesame dressing Jeff makes. Wow. So much umami! I'm a customer for life if he ever bottles and sells that dressing. Hey, Jeff...get going on that and you'll be rolling in cash!

As soon as I walked in, the restaurant smelled amazing, so I knew I was in for a good treat. I ordered the garlic shrimp and garlic chicken mix plate with a few regular malasadas. The garlic shrimp was pungent, packed with flavor, and very delicious. It was prepared in a way that reminded me of the food trucks I have had in Hawaii. The garlic chicken was another highlight--super moist on the inside with a nice crispy exterior. The mac salad, unfortunately, was a miss for me. It was really runny and did not have the traditional mayo-based flavor I was expecting. The malasadas were good, but not the best I have had. They were on the denser side and I think they could have been fluffier. I also regret not getting them with a filling! Overall, there were definitely some tasty items, and I am looking forward to coming back to try the kalbi ribs or poké nachos next time.

The dine in area has sufficient seating and is lit well. I also haven't seen dirty tables, floors, and the sauce and soda counter seems to always be clean, thankfully.
