    Kimberly A.

    Ive been here before and the food is wonderful very very tasty their service is amazing and the ambiance is very friendly and the dining area is cool

    #1 BBQ mix plate.

    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.

    BBQ Mix Plate - 2 Rice 1 Macaroni Salad
    Lily C.

    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.

    I love Wikiwiki! The cabbage, rice and macaroni salad go perfectly with my Hawaiian bbq chicken! I was introduced to this place when I first hit the Bay Area! Great service! Comfortable atmosphere! Delicious Hawaiian fruit juices! Walking distance on Shattuck Ave

    Ordered take out and it was great Hawaiian food. The portions were large and the food tasted good. We got the mixed bbq plate. The Mac salad was very flavorful and the teriyaki chicken was so juicy. We also ordered a side of chicken katsu which was nice and crispy.

    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.

    I can't decide which I enjoy more; Chicken Katsu with 2 mac-1 rice or Short Rib with 2 mac-1 rice. I will say that they are consistent and fresh everytime I order...

    Found a bug in broccoli - overall food is decent but not too sure about cleanliness/quality

    After hearing so many people rave about Pig in a Pickle, I finally made the trip over to…read moreEmeryville, and I'm glad I did. This place is located in a food hall, so there are plenty of other choices. If you're looking for barbecue that focuses on the meat first and doesn't rely on drowning everything in sauce, this place deserves a visit. I ordered a plate with brisket, a pork rib, hot link, collard greens, a side of BBQ sauce, and a drink for Super Duper. Brisket Without question, this was the star of the meal. I specifically asked for the fatty point, and it absolutely delivered. The brisket was incredibly tender with a beautiful bark, plenty of rendered fat, and a deep smoky flavor throughout. It had just the right balance of salt, pepper, and smoke without any one flavor overpowering the others. Honestly, this is the kind of brisket you don't even need sauce for, but I couldn't resist trying it with their BBQ sauce anyway. Pork Rib I ended up with an end piece, which can sometimes be a little dry, but that wasn't the case here. It was surprisingly tender and packed with flavor. The smoke came through nicely, and the seasoning had a great balance of pepper and salt. It wasn't falling off the bone--which, in my opinion, is exactly how properly cooked barbecue should be--but it pulled cleanly with each bite. I'd absolutely order the ribs again. Hot Link I've had plenty of hot links that were overly dense or aggressively spicy. These weren't. The casing had that satisfying snap when you bit into it, and the sausage itself was juicy and flavorful. The heat level was very approachable--enough to notice but never overwhelming--allowing the smoky, seasoned meat to remain the focus. A really well-made sausage. BBQ Sauce I mixed the mild and hot BBQ sauces together, and that ended up being the perfect combination for my taste. The mild sauce added sweetness and tang while the hot sauce contributed just enough kick without masking the flavor of the meat. That combination complemented everything on the tray exceptionally well. Collard Greens The collard greens were another pleasant surprise. They were well-seasoned, flavorful, and not overly spicy. The greens still had some texture without being tough. My only complaint is that I wish there had been a little more smoked meat mixed in. The flavor was definitely there--I just wanted a bit more of the meaty goodness. Overall, Pig in a Pickle impressed me from start to finish. The quality of the smoked meats really stands out, especially the brisket, which was easily one of the better briskets I've had in the Bay Area. The rib was excellent, the hot links were flavorful without being overly heavy, and even the sides held their own. I'll definitely be making the drive back to Emeryville to work my way through more of the menu. If the rest of their offerings are anywhere near as good as this tray, I can see why they've built such a strong reputation. Highly recommended--especially if you're a brisket lover. Simply Wonderful!!

    Got a hot link sandwich. 3/4 lb of brisket. Med potatoes…read moresalad, and med Mac and cheese. Everything was so disgusting. The hot link wasn't even spicy and was way too much smoke flavor. There was this weird meaty gristly thing in the potato salad which literally made me puke. I'm always looking for the next bbq spot. But could have done without this one. The service was good the food was terrible. Honestly $80 dollars horribly spent. Don't believe me.. go experience it for yourselves
