One thing to note is that gift cards can NOT be used toward any of the catering menu items. So my plan did not work out too well. I ended up getting a few family meals with the gift card, but then spent more for catering since I had about 15 ppl to feed. I worked with Alice on the phone and when I went to pick up she was there to greet and assist. I had set a pick up date and time (about 5-6 days out). I Called the day before to adjust the time and good thing I did bc the date was incorrect on paper. I asked to pick up a couple hours later and she adjusted and apologized about writing the wrong date. When it came pick up time - I ended up having an emergency and had to call to let them know I was running about an hour late. Alice said they can hold no problem. She helped me carry to my car when I arrived - nice that they have a couple 5 min pick up parking spots right in front!

Since he had no dietary restrictions, I decided to grab him something close by and this place was a perfect option! I ordered at the counter from very friendly staff who brought the food out and packaged hot within minutes! Faster than most popular chain drive thrus! It's pretty much set up as a carry out, yet there are a couple tables and chairs than seem to function more for waiting than for dining in. (Read: not for date night to impress!) I ordered the chicken and beef combo for under $20 with tax -- which was like a mountain of tender and well seasoned meat with a flavorful cooked vegetable medley and macaroni salad as sides. I really appreciated that the sides were substantial, and not used as filler in exchange for less protein. Hubby loved it and he was the envy of the nurses station, as the aroma of good homestyle food is hard to ignore! And I was so very thankful able to give my husband a great tasting and satisfying meal for his recovery and at a very reasonable price! Pro tip: For moderate eaters, two people can share one order and be quite satisfied! In the case of hubby, it lasted him for two meals and I could spend more time caring for him :) Thank you Hawaiian BBQ express!

Ordered and got it to-go. I think the food review might be slightly inaccurate since to-go food is…read moreusually less good than eating in restaurants. Can't comment on service either; will likely update when trying in person. I'm kind of teetering in between 3 to 4 stars but ultimately decided with 4. The first comment I want to make is that the food is expensive but the portions are really big. I think that you can definitely eat at least two meals out of a single order. Primarily, the reason for the 4 star consideration is because of how big the portions are. I got a mixed BBQ rice plate with the short rib, beef, and chicken katsu. It was definitely good food but could be better. I think it was missing some sauce and the food was SOOOO salty. The star of the show was definitely the short ribs and they had a nice balance of fat to meat ratio and went great with the rice. The beef was a little bit on the chewier side and the katsu was a bit dry. The sauce that they did provide was a sort of sweet and sour sauce but just didn't pair all that well with the meat. The sweetish-tangy contrasted quite poorly but this is a just personal taste so can't dock too much for it. Overall, I think it is good and I will try to go in-person. Recommend if you're a fan of the cuisine or in the area! Big portion, fair price. Decent food.

I was a bit worried as they didn't have enough vegan options on their online menu, but they had it up on their wall - tofu or portabello katsu, pineapple salad, udon stir fry etc. Got the tofu katsu and it was yummy. My friends got hamburger steak and spam musubi and loved it. Ambiance was snug, it's a small place and also loud and busy.

It's been a while since I have been to L&L Hawaiian BBQ because there are other places in town that…read morehave better service. They never have great service here, no bad service, just take your order and call your number when it's done. They have a fairly big menu and each L&L that I have been to offers extras that are not traditional Hawaiian dishes such as Chinese and/or Filipino dishes. They also offer catering packs for your parties. The food here is generally good. My go to is the BBQ Mix Plate ($16.25 as of 8/22/2025): Hawaiian BBQ Beef, Chicken, Short Ribs, Mac Salad, 2 scoops of Rice which is a good amount of food, so most people will have some leftovers. Their flavor of their meat was not as flavorful this visit as I have had in the past (not sure if it is just this one instance) and the overall portion does seem slightly less than I remember. I would describe this place as a semi-Hawaiian Fast Food Restaurant. Expect no frills and no thrills here, just a good heaping of food for the price. They are a solid 3.5/5 stars overall.

Sorry no pics. Ate it way too fast . We ordered the katsu chicken which was crispy, needed a little more seasoning and a touch dry but edible. The Kalua Pork, cabbage and rice was very good and reminded me of our trip to Oahu. The lumpia were very good and I throughly enjoyed the musubi (ordered 2 of them). A definite revisit when I travel back to Vacaville for work.

I always love to eat at a good Hawaiian spot and saw some videos raving about Kau Kau. We decided…read moreto give it a visit for some brunch this past weekend and hate to say that I was honestly disappointed. We walked in to a fairly small but busy restaurant thinking it would take a while for a table but to our surprise we were seated quickly. The server was quick to help us and bring us water which is always great but there is one thing that could've been done better. We were just seeing other tables that came after us , getting their food and we had nothing. We didn't really get an update as to what was taking long or where our food was which was the bummer part. They did make up and give us a 10% discount and a free orange juice which was greatly appreciated. So props for that The food wasn't the worst but also it wasn't something that made me think WOW this is good. I usually don't get gravy with my loco mocos and mostly judge off the meat flavor and this one was lacking seasoning. My wife's waffle was just good nothing crazy and the chicken did taste fresh which we most definitely enjoyed. The mango syrup that came with it though wasn't too much of our liking. It tasted mostly like a mango candy syrup mixed with hot sauce. Overall our experience was alright but not the best..... I don't know if I'll make the drive out here to get some "Hawaiian" bites as I do feel there's better spots in Sacramento. Everything is all subjective to experience and ours was just alright.

I ordered the Kau Kau benedict and my friend ordered the Mac Nut waffle with Chicken Katsu (it comes with a sriracha mango syrup that is amazing). The benedict was good, but that waffle with katsu chicken was awesome. We want to come back for more brunch and for dinner. The restaurant is small, but has a great laid back atmosphere. I love the decor! I definitely recommend Kau Kau.

Walking around downtown Davis, hunger struck & I was on the prowl for some good eats. A quick Yelp…read moresearch produced Good Friends Hawaiian Poke as a good lead w/ a high rating & relatively healthier fare for takeout. Walking in, it's a bright & clean space. Service ordering at the counter was friendly & patient as I looked over the menu. I eventually zeroed in on the Zesty Flavored Salmon under the Specials/ Rice Bowls. It didn't take long. Handing me the packed to-go container, I immediately noticed its heft. There was a lot of food crammed in there. As soon as I was back in my room, I peeled open the lid to get at the goodies inside. My 1st observation was that there was lot of salmon. A bunch of fresh veggies too. For being on the menu as a rice bowl, there was exactly the right amount of rice underneath everything else. This definitely was not a case of too much rice being added as an empty calories filler. All in all, it was quite tasty. Indeed, even zesty. & enormously filling. Just a massive bowl of delicious salmon/ veg/ rice w/ a sauce that tied it all together. In this economy, Good Friends Hawaiian Poke is a great value. Whenever I'm hungry in Downtown Davis, I'll be back.

But I ended up going again with a friend and decided to try something different, and I am so glad I did. I got the ahi tuna and salmon, and I fell in love. I used to be one of those people who would not eat raw fish, but after trying their poke, that completely changed for me. Now I always go for the bomb salmon and tuna and add my own toppings, and it is so good every time. The flavors are fresh, well balanced, and just hit in a way the cooked option never did for me. Overall, I am really glad I gave this place a second chance because it completely changed my perspective. If you are unsure about raw fish like I was, I definitely recommend trying it here.

The menu board doesn't seem to list all the items they have. The website says they have a couple different kinds of coffee. Since there is a cold brew smoothie it makes sense they probably also have the coffee. I'll have to check next time. Coming soon is poke! I think the experience largely depends on what you get and if you personally like it. Previously I had gotten two açaí bowls. The workers were very accommodating to my banana allergy. But something in the bowls had a taste that I wasn't a big fan of. Maybe it was the blue spirulina. But the servings were appropriate for the price. This time we got a mango colada lemonade, lilikoi toast, coconut and peanut butter toast, and a sunrise smoothie. I really liked my lilikoi toast! I would order that again. The sunrise smoothie was not sweet. If anything it has a bit of a salty note (maybe from the coconut water). The mango colada was very refreshing on a hot day. I wish the fruit they used was a little more ripe (bananas for toast and mango in lemonade) for more natural sweetness.
