Yelp needs to make a half star option (real review would be 4.5 stars) but I LOVE this place. This is a longstanding Berkeley classic, the workers are sweet, the food comes out fast but everything tastes fresh and homemade! This place never disappoints, all of the menu is delicious read more

Wikiwiki Hawaiian BBQ - Mini Chicken Cutlet (细)炸雞扒飯Beef Short Ribs (大) 骨飯 - Hawaiian Near Me - Berkeley, California

I got really bad food poisoning and had to go to the ER because it was so bad. They always have a by 1 get one free on Uber eats and I thought it was too good to be true. Do not go here it's really a gamble on your health. read more

It was ok. Inside the restaurant it was kinda dirty. My food wasn't bad but my friends food wasn't too good. Just play it safe and get what you're used to, don't experiment. I would get my grilled chicken dish again though. read more

Good food and definitely fairly generous servings. Service was friendly and efficient. Comfortable setting and clean. Lots of choices but I am not a real follower of sweet and starchy. Prices were fair and I left full! read more

Wikiwiki Hawaiian BBQ - bbq Chicken Burger special (雞饼包特卖) macaroni salad - Hawaiian Near Me - Berkeley, California

Do not eat here if you are looking for Hawaiian style food. Its basically Chinese food attempting to be Hawaiian food. Dining area dirty and food overpriced read more

I have accidentally ordered this place for delivery one too many times. I got the teriyaki beef which pretty much came with no teriyaki on it and it was nothing but seen you and fat overcooked gross meat on a pile of uncooked cabbage. The House salad is literally Romain lettuce with four slices of giant tomato.. It's not the worst food I've ever had, but man sure isn't very good. read more

Was craving some Hawaiian BBQ, so I decided to hit Wikiwiki. I ordered the BBQ combo plate which comes with Mac salad, rice, short ribs, chicken, and beef. All of the meat was well seasoned and the portion size was decent. The cashier was friendly and attentive. If you're looking for solid HI BBQ in this area of Berkeley you're in luck. read more

Wikiwiki Hawaiian BBQ - #1 BBQ mix plate. - Hawaiian Near Me - Berkeley, California

Stopped by Wikiwiki Hawaiian BBQ with a friend for lunch. There was hardly any people in the late afternoon, and the employees, despite being on their lunch break, made our orders quickly. I was feeling hungry, so I ordered the BBQ Mix Plate, with 2 scoops of rice and 1 scoop of macaroni salad. I thought the price was great, as they were very generous with the portions; I ended up taking half of it home for dinner and still felt full. I loved the macaroni salad, the rice-to-meat ratio was great -- just that the beef short ribs was way too chewy. It was flavorful and marinated properly, but I was just unable to get it apart and off the bone, especially with just the flimsy plastic utensils that they gave us. Not totally unrelated - the restaurant doesn't look too well-maintained, and while that usually isn't an issue for me, the floors were evidently dirty with crumbs and lettuce leaves littered about by other customers. Their plastic cups had dust (?) in them and friend didn't feel too comfortable drinking water from their soda machine - water had a strange color and taste to it, so her only other option was to buy a plastic bottle of water on their menu for $1.50. Not a huge deal, but definitely not a positive in terms of experience, so I'll likely only make my return if I'm particularly missing their macaroni salad. read more

Once I came in I was greeted. This store has good customer service and the food was ready didn't take long at all

Disappointed at the Mac salad, also the kiosk ordering builds in a tip that is ridiculous

I've ordered chicken katsu my whole life and I've never had one where the katsu strips were this thin. The chicken katsu was extremely thin and had barely any meat on it. Every single strip was like this. You are basically paying for breadcrumbs. read more

Wikiwiki Hawaiian BBQ - Steam Broccoli Plate - - Hawaiian Near Me - Berkeley, California

really good food especially the chicken katsu withe great sauce. Solid boba too. quick service as well

[Delivery] The teriyaki chicken is great, tastes very authentic Hawaiian and not too sweet. Exactly the texture you want for HBBQ. The beef is solid, and not overly fatty. The kahlua pork was good as well, though not as juicy as I'd prefer. In any case, glad to have found this place, and will definitely be ordering the teriyaki chicken again. read more

I've been coming to this place for over 14 years. Love their salad. Love how they shred the cabbage. Love how the chicken is charred. Do not love the bathroom. They're really friendly and recently added a self order feature, which is nice. Way better than all the other chain chickens. read more

Did you know "Wiki Wiki" is an actual Hawaiian phrase? Unsurprisingly it means to hurry up, even though I thought the name had something to do with WikiLeaks and that there was something classified about the way they cooked their BBQ. OK, I didn't really think that, but it does sound like a record scratching move during a '80's rap song, doesn't it? Anyway, I decided to go full tilt Hawaiian and order for delivery the $14.90 Pork Lau Lau from this spot on Shattuck. Completely wrapped in taro leaves, pork and butterfish were packed together. It was steamed like I was at a Waikiki beach luau with sweaty dancers twirling their torches. Naturally it came with two scoops of white rice and one scoop of macaroni salad, de rigeur for any Hawaiian feast (photo: https://bit.ly/339z3UP). To alleviate my dietary conscience, I also ordered the $4.95 Steamed Broccoli (photo: https://bit.ly/3F56uFp) but then stabbed myself in the belly by adding the $1.90 order of Spam which translated into two greasy and wholly satisfying slices (photo: https://bit.ly/3G6v8H3). What can I say? Life is short so you have to just wiki wiki and light those, ahem, torches. FOOD - 4 stars...real Hawaiian food well turned AMBIANCE - n/a...it was delivered...with no torches SERVICE - 4 stars...well packed...I mean the taro leaves TOTAL - 4 stars...wiki your wiki RELATED - Hungry for Hawaiian?

Wikiwiki Hawaiian BBQ - Bag - Hawaiian Near Me - Berkeley, California

We get takeout here often and it's always yummy and they are efficient and friendly. The plate lunch is always great!

Really delicious food with large portions! It's easier to order ahead using Snackpass. Overall a really staple business with kind workers. I usually get the spam musibi and the chicken katsu platter. There is also lots of seating in and around the area. I prefer coming during the daytime since there's more parking available in the neighborhood. read more

Ordered a plate and paid extra to substitute rice for macaroni salad. Got 3 servings of rice instead!

Ordered one Family Pak and one Mini Pak for a campus meeting. Staff was very accommodating with payment and pickup. Everyone at my event said the food was delicious considering there aren't many Hawaiian bbq food options around in the area. Generous portions of chicken teriyaki, teriyaki beef, and beef shortrib (most popular) with sides of cabbage in sauce and rice + macaroni salad. Also nice deals for some of their more simpler items like chicken sandwiches (grilled & fried) and popcorn chicken. A nice place and one I like to frequent read more

A favorite spot for local Hawaiian food. The plates are great serving size and I love ordering food here when I'm feeling like eating my heart out. It's so comforting. Order at the window on the sidewalk. They don't have dine in since covid but don't let it stop you from getting takeout. I love their mixed bbq plate but honestly everything is so good. I even get a scoop of extra mac salad because it's my favorite. read more

Food tasted a bit werid (kalbi meat wasn't fresh. It didn't taste right). The mac salad had a bit more white pepper taste to it. The frying oil used might of been also used for fish because you taste fish in the chicken katsu. Not sure if I will be back. read more

Solid hole in the wall on a main street. The lady working the counter was quite friendly and helpful. There's a lot of different options for mixing and matching so you can get whatever you're in the mood for. The food was made to order so took a minute for pork lau lau and short ribs. They accept call in or online orders if you'd rather not wait and plan on taking it out. The food itself was good. Very good mac salad and double portion of rice like other Bay area Hawaiian spots. The lau lau has good flavor but was a little light on filling. The short ribs came with two, two bone pieces. Maybe these are because it's the combo but would definitely expect more for a solo order. Overall a good amount of food a tasted good. The space has some tables and drink machine. I got water from the machine but definitely looks like it's seen better days. No ice and the water tasted warm. I would recommend take out as opposed to eating there. Otherwise the food and experience was decent. read more

Wikiwiki is definitely my go-to comfort food when I just can't be bothered to cook dinner. The grilled garlic fish plate is my favorite, and one order will usually last me 2 meals. The meal comes with macaroni salad, two scoops of rice, and shredded cabbage, all of which will leave you full and happy. The plates are great for the price, especially if you order through Snackpass with a friend during happy hour on Wednesdays. The deal is so good that my friends and I are starting to make a habit of Wikiwiki Wednesdays! read more

This is one of my favorite go-to restaurants! There's so many great options, and everyone I've had hasn't missed the mark! What I love the most is their chicken katsu plate (it's so delicious), and my fiancée usually gets the BBQ chicken plate which is also pretty tasty too. The cheeseburgers and fries are better than a lot of the fast food restaurants nearby, but anything you eat here you'll definitely enjoy! read more

5* is for the grilled fish with garlic sauce meal. This is all I ever get. Yes, it's that good. Keeps me coming back for more. Thanks.

Descent food and huge portions. I read some people's reviews saying that the portions are small and I can't wrap my head around it. I got the loco moco which came with 2 patties of meat, 2 fried eggs, rice, gravy and mac salad. It was delicious and I ate it for 2 meals. I wish I had some veggies at home to balance out the sheer amount of gravy but that's hardly the fault of the restaurant. Pro tip: Sriracha and/or kimchi tastes real good with this. read more

I loved the food great flavor. It was like being back in Hawaii very authentic flavors of the island. We will return great food great service and awesome staff!! You definitely get your money's worth. read more

I was really craving some Hawaiian food & saw this was one of the few around the area. From the outside it looks grungy but you can tell when it wasn't pandemic times, the seating area inside would've not been so bad. By no means is this the highest quality Hawaiian food around but it did the job, I was satisfied. Food: I ordered the mini chicken katsu with substituting rice for Mac salad. The price & meal was reasonable. The sauce was a bit too sweet for me so I recommend adding some spicy sauce to balance out the sweetness. I appreciate this place for not having too many fatty chicken pieces; they were relatively less of the fat despite it being dark meat. The chicken itself was fried to perfect, it remained crisp even though I ate it an hour later. Overall, food was filling & even had leftovers to eat as a second meal. Parking: Considering this place is several blocks from the heart of downtown, there was plenty of parking. You're better off driving south to find parking rather than north. Otherwise, it won't hurt to walk a few blocks if needed. I don't typically eat Hawaiian food on a regular basis but if the craving comes around & I so happen to be in the area again, I'd come back again! read more
