This is a 35 year old family run eatery. The food is just delicious! The service is super fast and friendly! The ambiance is small clean diner feel. They also have an upstairs when they're busy. We love this place. They never gouge you on price and I think for the money, quality and portion, this is definitely in the top five on island. I arrived here in 1989. They opened in 1988 so that should tell you something! It's located about 150 feet from the Ice Palace with plenty of parking. I add their delicious Teri sauce on my rice and bbq chicken. And their Mac salad is very good. You should check this place out! You can thank me later!

Came back to my hometown for my wing fix... still ono-lish! Giant fries turned into seasoned fries (just as good). Prices still lower than other eateries!

SMALL CHOCOLATE MALT... PRICEY BUT TO ME... WELL WORTH IT!

Always the best LAST MINUTE CHICKEN WINGS, NOODLES & PICNIC PACK!! Anyone who comes here knows this is the place to come to for the bbq food! I hope they NEVER LEAVE!!! Thank you MAMA's for everything and for always being so good to us!

Chicken Wings
Russ L.

First time here and might be the last. I've always wanted to try this place. So today why not have have chicken wings to go with my poke. It's crispy, crunchy, but a bit dry inside. The wings tasted like it was left in the freezer too long.

The Malt. It's good but not for the price.

Are we spoiled by the fancy burgers everywhere? You know we are. So it's nice to get an old-time burger for $5 - $9 (the double). Simple but not boring. Check out the beef patty, you'll find some tiny bits of onion cooked into the beef. It's like they cooked the patty on a layer of onions. IYKYK. Go there for the hamburger. You might complain about how plain it is, but you won't stop eating it. If you've never had a chocolate malt before, give it a try. It's too pricy, so I won't get it the next time.

Teri beef combo w bbq chx You can create you own combo This was delicious
Kristin C.

Just what I was craving for! Requested teri beef and teri chicken combo and the eager cashier said you can do any combination you'd like, and glad I did. The marinate was good, the teriyaki beef was tender, the chicken was a bit overcooked but didn't matter it was still good to us. Mister and I split the regular size plate and dined in. Busy restaurant, fast service.

Came for their Ginger Chicken... Sold out :'( so sad yet not done plan B was their Hibachi Chicken...why cause I couldn't find a picture of it on Yelp so just wondering what it was. At $8.50 the mini plate is a great deal and consists of a scoop of white rice and a scoop of macaroni salad, the rice was quite mushy...bleh and the salad was okay it came with tow pieces of skinless chicken which I was quite impressed and was coated with what looks similar with the sauce they use in the ribs...kinda bland and didn't care for it. There's so many types of chicken dishes this is not recommended. The vibe is the basic dive shop with for large tables and a smaller two seater though is nice that the have some tables to dine in casually the staff is nice and can see why it's a popular spot with lots of free parking just steps away. Thank you!

11/08/24 Combo plate with chicken katsu,  4 small BBQ ribs,  all mac
Kathy R.

11/08/24 Went to pick up late lunch & dinner for hubby & stopped in just before 2PM, Friday. We've come to this place off and on over the yrs to get our BBQ fix since this place is close to the house. There was plenty of available parking. Sometimes the parking lot gets so full from the surrounding food places & the ice skating rink. The restaurant was empty, no line. Tables & floors were clean. There was a woman behind the counter & a couple of cooks in the back. They have such a huge, extensive menu that it takes time to go thru it all. They have several specials posted under the main menu board as well as at the front counter. Brown rice is available. They offer so many different combos that it is hard to choose & mini plates are also available on some of the entrees. i ended up ordering 2 sandwiches and 2 plates. Teri pork sandwich - it was ok, average tasting - 2 thin slices of BBQ pork on a hamburger bun slathered with mayo with a wilted piece of lettuce. Chicken burger - good sized BBQ chicken thigh skinless on a hamburger bun, mayo, & wilted piece of lettuce. Hubby liked it. It had good flavor & tasty. BBQ chicken/teri beef combo plate with mac salad toss salad, no rice. Quantity was great. 2 large pieces of boneless/skinless chicken. Same chicken as in the sandwich - tasty & good flavor. Teri beef - good portion. I wanted to really like this like the chicken but I did not care for it. It was marinated but not long enough & the taste of it was very salty. Mac salad was ok, but way too much mayo. Toss salad with just iceberg letter & a few tomato wedges. The salad was on the bottom of the plate covered by the hot chicken & beef, thus making the salad soggy. Chicken katsu/BBQ rib special for hubby, all mac. Huge quantity of chicken katsu. Disappointed that it only came with 4 small ribs. Each rib measured about 1 1/2" long. Mac salad covered the bottom of the plate topped by the hot entrees, making it looks pretty messy. Ribs were ok but the katsu was hard to eat, lot of it was overcooked & dried out. We ended up tossing what was left of the katsu. Even though I was the only customer at the time of ordering, my order still took 10 - 15 minutes. While I waited, several people came in to pick up catered orders. They seem to do a good business with those. No wonder my food was taking longer than expected, they were cooking for these big orders. It's definitely not fast food if you are in a hurry. Overall, we thought their BBQ was average, nothing stood out that made it special. But they do have a huge menu & lots of combos, good quantity of food for a reasonable price.

Chicken Katsu and Ginger Chicken
Jen C.

I haven't been here in a long time and I needed lunch and was craving some chicken katsu. I ended up wanting both chicken katsu and cold ginger chicken and found out i can get a mixed combo for $16. It was ready in just a few minutes which is great since I needed to take it to go and was in a hurry. The portions were huge! The chicken katsu was crispy yet juicy and the sauce is really good! The cold ginger chicken had generous amounts of ginger and onions and was so good with the mac salad and rice. I have enough food for 2 more meals! This place seemed to have a lot of phone orders and was quite busy! They have reasonable cheaper mini plates too like the mini chicken katsu is only $8.95. Highly recommend!

Still love their food and prices. Very convenient and large portions. Only problem is parking is hard

***3.5 STARS*** A few months ago, some of my foodie friends decided to try new places we've never been to on a State holiday and had Stadium Giant Malts and BBQ (SGM) bookmarked. Prior to coming to here, we were discussing of places that interested us and for me, it was Ramfis B., who would post pics of the chicken wings from here that would make my mouth water. After meeting up earlier in the morning for coffee and a lite snack, we parted ways and met a few hours later for lunch at SGM. SGM, which serves local style plate lunches, burgers and some Chinese food options. They took over the space that was previously occupied by Bob's BBQ way back in 2010 (?). We arrived at the agreed 12pm time and had the darnest challenging time looking for a parking stall. SGM is located in Stadium Mall that is occupied with multiple businesses so I had to circle the mall multiple times before I was able to score a stall. Upon entering SGM, luckily there was an empty booth that we secured as the restaurant was packed. A handful of patrons were already sitting down eating and had quite a few people standing as they waited for their carryout orders. I had omakase reservations later that day for an early dinner so I strategically planned my food order: side order of fried chicken wings. Had to pass on the carbs that you get in a plate lunch to save precious stomach space for sushi later that day. We stood in line to place our order and then waited patiently for our food. THE VERDICT: The fried chicken wings were indeed delicious. Made to order, 10 flats were lightly breaded with a pleasant, exterior crust that had a great crunch. Wings were made to order so they were piping hot, the way I like to eat my food. However, they were slightly heavily seasoned to my taste so I found myself craving for some rice, which I didn't have any. I ended up repeatedly drinking water to offset the saltiness. I offered my wings to my dining mates where they all agreed were tasty and mentioned they'd order this should they return to SGM. Coincidentally, all 3 dining mates ordered hamburger steak and commented they acknowledged the homemade patties but the gravy was underwhelming. The rice was okay and the macaroni salad was nothing to write home about, as evidenced my friends not finishing them up. Service was at par as it's self service here. You stand in line to order and after paying, you claim your food at the counter. SGM really had the old school vibe with non digital menus with signs posted all over. In closing, mixed feelings on SFM and glad that I finally tried them. This is not a place I'd bring my family to. I'd be game for a return visit but not eager to go back in the near future.

When u want a juicy, homemade burger on a soft bun with GIANT WEDGE fries, this is the place! Adding a chocolate malt shake would've been a bit too much but their malts are also yummy!

I miss the outing with my fellow yelpers on a State holiday 2024. Paul C. said he wanted to try their chicken wings. Well since I had a pick up at target salt lake we decided to go and try um. I ordered the fried chicken wings plate maybe I ordered wrong because it came with 2 scoops rice Mac salad and the wings. ‍ My husband had the cheeseburger and chocolate malt. I wanted French fries but it didn't come with enough salt on it just like crinkle type fries which I always get from someplace else. Lol. The cheeseburger was ok but the buns wasn't soft it was dry. The wings were ok to me not enough salt inside the chicken before they deep fry um. It was crispy and serve very hot. Well at least we try this place even though we couldn't hook up with my yelp friends the last time.

Just had the chocolate malt, which was good. Paying close to $10 for a small choc malt kind of hurt my soul though. Blame inflation!

Does this place have indoor seating?

Yes, it did. It had a few old school bench seating tables to eat on. However, I'm not sure if they're opened. I think they're under renovation.

But we were so disappointed with the quality of the food we couldn't even finish everything. So I got 2 lunch orders: rice with char siu and roast pork, and rice with roast duck and chicken. I also ordered half pound of beef trip to try. So this way we got to sample everything. At the end the only thing we enjoyed was the roast pork. The skin was crispy and meat had good flavor. The duck had too much fat. There was not much meat left after getting rid of the bones and the fat. The chicken was quite mushy. The texture just was not right probably because it wasn't too fresh? The char siu was probably one of the worst I have even had. It had so much tendon that there was not a single piece that we could even chew through it. And the beef tripe was soooooo salty. It was just very disappointing. It was relatively cheap though compared to other restaurants and they gave us a very big portion but I don't think I will go back given that there are places that sell better roast duck and char siu.

I'm from Texas, known for its great beef brisket. Sunset Texas Barbecue has by far the best beef…read morebrisket I've had in Hawaii bar none. The brisket is so delicious, tender and juicy that you can cut it with a plastic fork. The pork ribs, pulled pork and sausage are equally as good. In addition, they have beef ribs on Fridays. The sides of baked beans, coleslaw and potato salad were also very, very tasty. Sunset Texas is a small place that spends its money on the cooking of great barbecue, best in Hawaii, not misspent on ambience. The service was also good. Give yourself a reward and go eat some great, true Texas style barbecue.

GET THE CORN BREAD!…read more Okay, now that the most important information is there...we loved this spot! The brisket plate was perfect for two meals. It falls apart as you're eating it in all the best ways. I regret not ordering it by the pound. The potato salad was a bit too mustardy for me but the cream corn was 10/10 I should've asked for it in a cup. My favorite part was the corn bread. I'm used to corn bread being dry and not my choice of a bbq side but I took a chance thanks to the employee hyping up all my food choices and tried it. The texture was more of a bread budding and was unbelievably delicious. I regret only getting one piece and not another one for the following day. I guess what I'm trying to say is, swing on by, order a little bit of everything and you'll leave a few pounds heavier and very happy.

When I got it, I was a little underwhelmed. The middle part of the katsu wasn't golden brown, so it could have been cooked a little more evenly. The katsu was quite good tho. Juicy and the panko on the outside was good. Good amount of rice and the kimchi tasted really good. I would try another lunch special again if I'm craving some Japanese food if I have the time to wait for the food. 3/5 for communication. 4.5/5 for food Limited street parking in the area.
