Came all the way from Koreatown, just for their plate of BBQ white meat chicken. Service is still top tier like always. The food is still amazing, and the chicken always has that nice char flavor, while still being juicy and delicious. Add a little bit of their hot sauce to give it a nice kick of spice! They never hold back on their portions! So be prepared to leave completely full or take some leftovers. The ambiance is nice and cozy. It's never too loud, and it always has a nice vibe. Parking is free but always a nightmare trying to find parking, especially since Ohana BBQ is sharing the plaza with a Sprouts and other establishments. So be prepared for that. But if you are around the area and are craving some Hawaiian/Korean BBQ, I highly recommend this spot. It won't let you down.

I ordered the Haleiwa plate (beef, chicken and ribs +$4) and it was not worth the extra change. The (4) ribs were a bit chewy, tons of pepper on the meat, almost a full box worth of rice and they give you baby scoops of mac salad, which did not taste fresh. Service was good. And the location is right in the middle of a shopping plaza so good luck with parking during the rush.

They had a couple of orders for pickup/to-go while I was there so maybe that's where most of their business comes from... Chicken Katsu was a good amount of chicken, crispy but on the dry side. I really enjoy that they have mini portions good for budget and waistline. I got mini beef short ribs and it came with two pieces of meat, mac salad and rice. Family friendly venue, large square footageb inside for spacious table seating.

I'm originally from Hawaii and I wanted to check this place out. First of all, I like the ambiance…read moreinside. It was trying to give off like you were eating in a hut lol. Service was very friendly. Cashier will talk stories with you and tell you how he makes the food. Now onto the food. The reason why I rated this 3 stars is because it could improve a lot. Portion met the standards (which they give a lot in Hawaii in multiple LnL locations). The taste and how they made the kalua pork was ok. The taste was a little bland and like any other kalua pork, it has to be mixed with the cabbage, this place didn't. The cabbage was underneath and still freshly cut. A good kalua pork would be mixed with the cabbage so the cabbage is soft. And I get it, people don't like cabbage sometimes, but that's just the dish. I feel like the kalua pork could be more tender as it was a little rough to munch on and more with the seasonings. This place can improve a lot. Hopefully they can contact LnL in Hawaii to help with the recipes and cooking methods (:

- Broken Compass Tiki…read more My girlfriend and I absolutely loved Broken Compass Tiki. I originally found it on TikTok, followed up with a few YouTube videos, and knew I had to check it out the next time we were in Burbank. It completely lived up to the hype. Parking can be a little challenging since it's in Burbank, but we got lucky and found a street parking spot nearby. If you don't get as lucky, driving around the block or into the surrounding neighborhood should eventually turn something up. We arrived about 20 minutes after they opened, and there were already several people inside. By the time we left, the place was filling up quickly, so it's definitely a popular spot. I surprised my girlfriend by keeping the destination a secret and just telling her we were going somewhere fun with a unique theme. She loved it. From the moment we walked in, the service was outstanding. Both the bartender and our server were incredibly welcoming. Our server asked whether it was our first visit and took the time to ask what kinds of drinks we normally enjoy before making recommendations. I really appreciated that he wasn't just trying to upsell us. Instead, he explained why he thought certain cocktails were better choices based on our preferences, and every recommendation ended up being spot on. As you'd expect from a tiki bar, the cocktail menu is heavily rum-focused, but there are also non-alcoholic drinks, a small beer selection, and wine available if rum isn't your thing. I ordered the Zombie Magic first, which was delicious and definitely packed a punch. After that, I tried the 100 Year Cigar, a Scotch-based cocktail that was perfect for slowly sipping. Both drinks were fantastic. My girlfriend ordered the Painkiller and the Navy Grog, and she loved both of them. We started with the Shut It Polly wings, crispy chicken wings tossed in a spicy Thai peanut sauce, and they were outstanding. We also ordered the Aloha Dippers with the Cajun seasoning. I paired mine with the Chipotle Citrus Aioli, while my girlfriend chose the Firecracker sauce. Both dipping sauces were excellent and complemented the fries really well. For our entrées, I ordered the Pub Burger with Irish cheddar, onion strings, and horseradish aioli, cooked to order. It was excellent. My girlfriend ordered the Shrimp & Lobster Roll, and we both enjoyed it. The only item that didn't quite meet our expectations was the macaroni salad that came with our meals. We've had some incredible macaroni salad at Hawaiian restaurants, and this one just didn't quite compare. It certainly wasn't bad, but it was the one part of the meal that didn't stand out. One thing that really impressed me was how accommodating the staff was regarding my raw fruit allergy. I explained what I could and couldn't safely eat or drink, and our server took it seriously. He made sure every cocktail recommendation was safe for me without sacrificing flavor or experience. That level of attention made me feel comfortable ordering drinks I otherwise might have avoided. The décor is also worth mentioning. The pirate-themed exterior transitions into a fun pirate-and-tiki atmosphere inside that really adds to the experience without feeling overdone. Overall, this place exceeded our expectations. The drinks were strong and creative, the food was excellent, the service was some of the best we've had in a long time, and the atmosphere was a blast. There are still plenty of cocktails on the menu that I'd like to try, so we'll definitely be back the next time we're in Burbank.

This place really made you feel like Captain Jack Sparrow was going to jump out at every corner. It so themed for a tiki bar, but if pirates and mermaids had a place to hang out this would be that place. From the decor to the detailed bathroom sounds and the menu item names. You couldn't escape the theme anyway and I loved it! We were gathering for a friends birthday and there was 30 of us. Couldn't believe we found enough seats for us in the back area but we did. The staff was there to keep drinks flowing and keep food coming. The portion for their poke nachos was unreal. Do i wish they put a bit more poke on the dish? Yes. But it was still one of my favorite dishes of the night. The drinks were all so cute and they had ample non alcoholic mocktails as well which were yummy. If you want a speakeasy feel (you lieterally go through a secret door in the wall) and an under the sea eperience while ctching up with friends, you can totally do it here. For my friends birthday they rang some bell and all sang happy birthday to her which was so cool. Why was the bathroom the coolest part? They literally have ocean sounds and seaguls for you to hear while using the restroom. Theres even a fan in the bathroom to make you feel like you're next to the ocean because I kept fighting that darn toilet seat cover to stay put. Such a fun night and will be back for the vibes. Special s/o to Amanda and all her crew the night we were there. They helped out with photos, drinks, and keeping food going all night. She had such a great team with her that night. Everyone was helping us out even finding us chairs and clearing tables so we could make room for more food.

Gio Shrimp Is A Taste of Hawaii Right Here in Glendale!…read more I was feeling nostalgic for Giovanni's Shrimp Truck from our time in Hawaii, and I couldn't believe my luck when I discovered Gio Shrimp, just a few minutes away from where I work in Glendale! I could just order through Yelp & Grubhub and pick it up under 5 minutes. The moment I took my first bite, it instantly brought me back to the North Shore. The food is perfectly seasoned, garlicky, buttery shrimp with that irresistible island-style flavor. Every dish is cooked fresh and packed with aloha vibes. The rice was just right, and the portion sizes are super satisfying. Whether you have been to Hawaii or just dreaming of it, Gio Shrimp is a hidden gem that delivers those nostalgic flavors without the plane ticket. I am so glad I found this spot!!! It's now my go-to lunch escape whenever I need a little island pick-me-up!

My son didn't make a reservation because it was a Wednesday night and he didn't think it would be crowded. But with 5 adults and a baby carriage, we had to wait for the right table because the somewhat small restaurant was full. We soon got a good spot and ordered the shrimp ceviche and the pan fried dumplings for appetizers. The ceviche was served on a bed of crispy noodles and it was refreshing and satisfying. The dumplings were crispy, not greasy, and flavorful. For dinner, we got 2 orders of japchae and 3 orders of bibimbap. With 2 Korean-born children and having visited the country, those are among our family's favorite dishes. And they did not disappoint. The japchae noodles were just right. They were not too firm and not too soft and well-seasoned. With a mixture of veggies, meat, mushrooms, eggs, and that delectable sauce, the bibimbap tickled and satiated the tastebuds. I told the server there was a birthday at the table and she brought out an excellent creme brulee with a candle in it. My husband and I didn't pay the bill. But the prices were reasonable with most of the entrees costing less than $20 each. We have four more days in town and may very well make another visit to indulge in that scrumptious food.

I have officially found my favorite sushi spot in the valley! I was going to gate keep this place…read morebut, I decided I had to share my review for this amazing place. My boyfriend and I were across the street at Fantasia watching a World Cup came, and after we were craving hand rolls, when he spotted Toro Sushi Poke House. We took a look at their menu which was displayed on the outside. The prices were really affordable, so we just had to try it, and were so glad we did because this was one of the most affordable and delicious nigiri and hand roll experiences we've had! The place itself is small and intimate. They have a bar area and few tables inside and a small outdoor seating as well. When we entered we were greeted by our friendly waiter, and seated immediately. It was pretty empty around 5 pm on a Friday, which was convenient because we didn't have to wait for a table. I'm not sure how packed this place normally gets, but it was also the long holiday weekend, so that might be why. We started off with the fatty tuna nigiri. For $6 you get two big pieces, which is so affordable, and the quality was amazing! We then each got the 6 piece hand roll set which came with a spicy tuna, scallop, yellow tail, crab, salmon, and toro. I'm not a fan of scallops, so I switched it out with a yellow tail roll. The fish was top quality and delicious. I cannot wait to come back here and stuff my face again!

The baked salmon and crab roll was excellent and much larger than I expected, which was definitely a pleasant surprise! The chicken udon was flavorful and generously packed with chicken. To top it all off, the takoyaki arrived fresh, hot, and perfectly prepared. Overall, the combination of outstanding service, fresh ingredients, and generous portions made for a wonderful dining experience.
