Overcooked BBQ Short Ribs
Zoe C.

We walked in expecting a place similar to one I had been to before. Many Hawaiian restaurants look alike and serve the same dishes. It was inside seating only, so we decided to give it a try. We ordered BBQ short ribs and fried shrimp with rice and macaroni salad. Any food made fresh usually tastes good. Not this time. The beef was dry, the fried shrimp was tough and overcooked. Making good food isn't hard, but this time Waikiki didn't deliver. I don't think I'll be back. They accept credit cards and cash.

Garlic Shrimp with Jalapeños !

This is always a great spot for a quick lunch bite when craving Hawaiian Food. Its a small business privately owned and service is always good here. Ambience is not much to write about - its functional and good for a quick lunch bite. They've have got a few small tables to grab a quick lunch and food is in the mark. My goto dishes here are Garlic Shrimp Plate, Chicken Katsu and Beef BBQ. Can't go wrong withe either of these. Always a good experience getting food from here !

Hawaiian BBQ Mix. Good!
Ari R.

Always has good experiences here! Kalua pork w cabbage is grwat. Combo also good but beef way too sweet, thats just me though. Price is right for the pork and I will keep coming back!

Hawaiian BBQ Mix
Mr. C.

Pulled up and got me the mix plate, decent portion and around $16 I think. Anyway I only got one rib, took a bite, pretty good, like other spots I have tried. The chicken had also a decent flavor to it. The beef on the bottom was also alright, nothing to ride home about. I think this place does beat the big food chain Hawaiian Ono by a bit but not by much. The Mac was creamy, solid, straight to the point. Last but not least the rice was pretty bland and not fluffy. Kalbi Ribs: 7.8 Chicken: 7.2 Beef: 7.2 Rice: 5.9 Mac Salad: 7.8

Loco Moco plate

First time trying this spot by the house. Was craving some loco moco for delivery, and I was not disappointed. Gravy was delicious, generous portions for your $, Patties were seasoned well. Definitely won't go hungry with this plate. Well done WHG. Mahalo

I just stopped in and tried it out on the recommendation of AI since I'm catching a concert in Inglewood. What it lacks in character is more than made up by the quality of the food. It's a shame actually because this could be one of the best Hawaiian barbecue places if they would put a little bit of effort into doing something with the generic bland interior that only has four paper leis making up their entire decor. The beef dish is oddly looking very black, but it's delicious. I would highly recommend it. The Katsu chicken was fantastic in the short ribs were also very good.

Came here since. It was in the way to my drive to LA and also cuz someone told me to get some Hawaiian food and I found this little gem! The place was def in the downtown area and was in a shopping center plaza. Parking was plenty and the inside had quite of seating inside. I had my order for dine in and just I saw it was huge (portion wise). And I only ate like 1/3 of it. So it was pretty generous for the price!!! The staff was pretty friendly and you can see them cook the food as well. It was super quick. Like I ordered and not even 5 min and boom it was out!! So fast and friendly!!!

Fried shrimp, Hawaii fried rice and egg rolls

I really love this place..Food is always on point,fresh and service is always nice. Been coming here about 7 to 8 years. Can't go wrong with the items we ordered and perfect every time. Place is small but we always seem to get our favorite spot.

Pleanty of food to choose from. Lots of protein…read morepreferences. Pancakes are the main staple. Good for groups if one can find the tables unoccupied. The service is order-pay, and pick up your food when called up. In the middle of busy Cerrittos plaza.

**Aloha Stacks in Cerritos**…read more This was my family's first time visiting Aloha Stacks, so I wasn't sure what to expect. The food was very tasty, flavorful, and traditional. I really enjoyed the dishes, and the menu felt family-friendly. The restaurant was very busy and fast-paced. It also seemed to be self-seating, and since it was our first time, the process was a little confusing at first. If you're visiting with younger kids, the busy atmosphere may feel a bit overwhelming. I also had a confusing experience with my drink. I ordered the iced vanilla latte as it was described on the menu, but I was first given a warm black coffee. When I explained that I ordered an iced vanilla latte, they gave me black coffee with ice. I explained again that I was confused, and another server later told me that the coffee already had vanilla syrup and that I was supposed to add the milk or creamer myself. I wish this had been explained when ordering because the menu was not clear. As we were getting ready to leave, I washed my hands and overheard some of the younger servers talking about my coffee complaint and laughing. I found that very unprofessional and uncomfortable, especially since this was my family's first visit. Overall, I really enjoyed the food, and the dishes were the highlight of our visit. However, the fast-paced atmosphere and the service experience did not make me want to come back, especially with younger children. I would recommend trying the food, but I hope the restaurant improves the ordering process and customer service.

There are a couple of other eateries next to it, with a shared communal outdoor dining space in the middle. You can't skip on their spam brulee musubi when you eat here! But our favorite from the menu has to be the kimchi honey butter chicken. It's so tender and has just the right amount of spice. You can get it in a plate or in a sandwich. Both are good, but I actually prefer the plate so you can enjoy it with the rice and macaroni salad, and not quite as messy. This is a great fast casual option - I recommend grabbing to go and taking a short drive to enjoy it on the beach!

And it is in one of those mobile train containers, as opposed to the other 2 restaurants nearby that had an actual restaurant sit down area with air conditioning. The cashier that helped us was very nice. He provided great customer service. My husband and I ordered the shrimp plate which comes with 6 pieces of fried shrimp tossed in kimchi butter sauce (we got regular non-spicy sauce). The plate comes with rice and Mac salad. We also ordered a side of spam brûlée musubi. The shrimp was delicious. Very flavorful and tossed evenly with the sauce. The Mac salad IMO was kind of warm. And my husband and I both loved the spam brûlée musubi. The sweet brûlée on top of the musubi had a great contrast to the salty spam. My only negative is on hot days like this, there was no where to sit and enjoy the food. We ended up enjoying our meal inside Wendy's next door. And I read on instagram that day they had to close down because of the heat. I can only imagine how hot it must have been inside the metal container they are working in.

Mucha Comida Chapina - A Taste of Guatemala in Hawaiian Gardens!…read more I'm planning a trip to Guatemala this coming February, and since I haven't experienced much Guatemalan cuisine, I decided to give Mucha Comida Chapina in Hawaiian Gardens a try. I'm so glad I did! From the moment I walked in, I was impressed. The restaurant was clean, the staff was friendly, the customer service was excellent, and the atmosphere gave me a wonderful taste of Guatemalan culture. I ordered the Garnachas, crispy handmade corn tortillas topped with seasoned ground beef, queso fresco, and traditional curtido, served with homemade tomato salsa. Absolutely delicious! I also tried the Mixta, a sausage served in handmade tortillas with guacamole, curtido, and a combination of sauces. WOW! Talk about an unforgettable explosion of flavors! Everything came together perfectly. Overall, this place was amazing! Great food, excellent customer service, and a welcoming atmosphere. If this is what I can expect in Guatemala, February can't come soon enough! I highly recommend Mucha Comida Chapina, and I'll definitely be back to explore more of their menu! A hidden gem!

4 stars (bump up to 5 for excellent service)…read more Came by for an early lunch. Wasn't busy when I arrived, but got busier towards the end of my meal. Service was super nice and friendly, and I ordered the Kak'ik. Portions were huge, with plenty of turkey meat; the meat itself was on the dry side and the soup was a bit too salty, but it was nice and flavorful. Ambiance was pretty and rustic, with plenty of Guatemalan motifs and tiles. Decent taste with large portions. Worth a go!

When we opened our food container, the portion was horrible. We ordered the buy one get one special for $20 via third party app & now I know why. They gave 3 scoops of rice, 2 small pieces of chicken, some chicken katsu, some veggies scattered in the bottom (for presentation?) and what looked like 1/2 a scoop of Mac salad. At first I didn't realize the two containers of food we received were the same because the portions were totally different and one piece of the chicken looked too charred and I thought it was bbq beef teriyaki. No wonder this was one of the special priced items on the third party app. I wish they portioned their food evenly because I found the chicken and Mac salad tasty as wanted more.
