I thought it was really good and solid. Food was 5/5. Value is what it is. Small shop but big on taste. Not too much seating. Get in and get out read more

Tiny little strip mall Hawaiian joint. Friendly greeter behind the counter. Typically restaurants with pictures of the food on the menu board don't yield the best results, and WikiWiki is no exception. I got the kalua pork which comes with white rice and macaroni salad. The pork is inconsistent, some pieces were tender, but most were just stringy and dry. It was also too salty. It's not marinated and doesn't really come with sauce by default, so make sure you ask for some teriyaki or something on the side. Rice is rice, you get quite a lot. The macaroni salad was probably the best of the 3, but the portion is left more to be desired. El Segundo prices are a bit bleh, but the overall portion you get is massive -- you can easily get 2 or even 3 meals out of it depending on your eating habits. The food isn't gross or anything, but it was disappointing and not something I can see myself returning for. read more

Delicous, Delicious!!! I don't think I've had bad Hawaiian BBQ before. All these BBQ type establishments seem the same. A quick eat and go. Same fine food, unexciting atmosphere, but some doggone great food! I always read the reliable Yelp reviews. One of them said she ordered a double macaroni salad. And that sounded quite perfect to me. Double up of their famous pasta salad! I ordered the The Hawaiian plate...the Kalbe ribs are sooo flavorful, and the chicken was grilled to perfection. The service is great. A little wait is worth the fresh cooked bbq! read more

I stopped by Wiki Hawaiian Barbecue after visiting another business a few doors down and decided to give it a try. The photos of the food looked great, and to be fair, the food itself did look and taste good once I finally got it. I ordered the chicken katsu, and the portion and presentation were solid. Where the experience really fell short for me was the service. When I first walked in, no one came out to greet me. The woman working in the back (I later learned her name is Linda) just kept cooking, and it wasn't until another employee asked her to come out that I was actually helped. When she did come out, her demeanor was very short, inflexible, and not particularly kind. It didn't feel welcoming at all. I went ahead and placed my order anyway. It took a while for the food to be prepared, and during that time another customer came in and also waited. Again, the interaction felt more like an obligation than genuine customer service. Overall: Food: Good I'd give the chicken katsu itself about 3.5-4 stars Service: Disappointing - I'd give it closer to 2 stars Because there are several other restaurants up and down this same street serving similar food, I'll be trying those out (probably more than once) before I consider coming back here. If I find a place with comparable food and better service, that's where my money will go. Three stars overall for decent food, but the service needs serious improvement. read more

Was passing through LAX and stopped here for lunch. This place is great for grab & go. I ordered the mini chicken katsu curry place lunch. The regular size plate lunches are for those who got big appetites. Love it, because it's not too salty compared to other Hawaiian bbq spots. I also tried the teriyaki chicken plate lunch in the past. This place can get really busy especially during lunch hours because customers either are on lunch break or are heading to LAX. It's not a dine-in place. I do recommend their food. But watch out for the food coma after. Plate lunches are heavy meals. The lady at the counter very friendly and quick with my order. Will come again when passing by LAX. read more

WikiWiki Hawaiian BBQ - Mini chicken katsu curry - Hawaiian Near Me - El Segundo, California

Stumbled upon WikiWiki Hawaiian BBQ when we were visiting and since it was near our hotel, we decided to give them a try. Lots to choose from on their menu and we decided on a couple of their plate lunches. We ordered them to-go and the wait time wasn't bad at all. The food was good and TBH, we'd probably go back there again when we're in the area! read more

Food is great, and is always hot and tasty! I usually go for the chicken katsu here and thy always give great portions of food! I've also had their other dishes like the regular grilled chicken, and so far, everything has been great! Price range is around $20, they also offer mini versions too. Drink are available and they have fountain drinks, and canned drinks including Hawaiian canned drinks! The restaurant itself is a small store so it's mostly takeout only, with the ordering in the front and kitchen in the back. Theres a few small seats available, though there seems to be some outside seating available in the plaza. Something nice I liked about this place is they give the clamshell plastic boxes which are microwaveable instead of the foam boxes though I wish they had an option for paper/compostable boxes. Also it looks like they do catering too! read more

I was torn between WikiWiki and L&L but... wikiwki won my heart and my wallet. The customer service for both were awesome when retrieving quotes. Just wikiwiki is a bit more affordable. Linda is awesome and helped quote based on my party I was catering for a colleague farewell party. Everyone was so happy with this decision and the food was fresh yummy and filling. She even accommodated to cutting the spamusubi in half so there were more to share. Thanks for making it happen! Can't wait to return and order again read more

Delicious Hawaiian food. My bf used to work nearby and would bring the food from here and I loved it. Now he longer work in the South Bay Area so I'll swing by and grab food to take home. Our go to is the Portuguese sausage and loco moco plate. The portion is large and the patty for the loco moco is plump! The macaroni salad is tasty and I steamed veggies are tasty dipped in their teriyaki sauce. The eggs are perfectly cooked, over easy. Definitely give this place a try if you're in the mood for Hawaiian food. read more

Been coming here for years will never come back again. I let two customers go in the door before me because my daughter is walking slow we all get inside the latino guys have a coworker waiting for them they are looking at the menu figuring out what they want so I step to the register and try to order and the lady stops and asks if I'm with the men looking at the menu I said no and she says they're going to order I said they aren't ready and the men says they are not ready I can go ahead and order but she said they were there 1st I take my daughter and start to leave and the men say it's okay order I said it's okay and the lady said no it's okay and shoo's my daughter and I away. Bad vibe for a 3 star establishment and if I wasn't a black man they would not want to lose my business but I won't be back and I know they don't care but I hope people take notice and don't support establishments like this one. read more

One of the many places that I have as a lunch option when I work out at the El Segundo office. I've only been here once so far. And since I'm trying to cut back on the meat I got the tropical chicken salad. Yes I know it's chicken but I want something. It's a little pricey for lunch but you definitely get what you pay for. The portions are huge. The salad itself had a great taste and everything tasted fresh. I couldn't even finish the entire salad and ate almost half of it for dinner that night. No frills and no nonsense. I walked in placed my order and waited for 10 minutes to pick up my food. Not a lot of interaction which is not a bad thing especially when you just wanna get your food and go. I really liked that the lady behind the counter was really straightforward. I definitely would come back for lunch take out when I'm working in the area. read more

Really good chicken and Mac salad! We were passing through one night in a hotel. It was close by so hubby walked over to pick it up. Really good food, good size portions. I would definitely recommend. read more

I wouldn't even give it one star. My sister asked the lady how her short ribs are (we were just going to get the mac) we order the ribs and go sit out front and one bite from each of us and we spit it out. No flavor in either the ribs or the Mac. The worst part is we went back in feeling horrible we didn't like it. (Servers, we don't wanna be those people) but it wasn't good at all. We asked if we could exchange it. The lady at the front was ABSOLUTELY RUDEEE. No. No. We don't do that. We can't exchange it? NOPE SHE YELLED AT US! They don't do refunds or exchanges. We took one bite? Iv worked in the food industry for 15 years, Iv never heard such policy. It's not right. It's not okay. If something is horrible we should be able to switch it or get out money back. Stay away from this place read more

The food is standard but the service is terrible!! We came 30 minutes before closing with two babies and after we order, the cashier told us that we cannot sit in dine in area because she want to close the store on time. She's very rude and on her personal call all the time while serving customers. Totally not recommend this place for dine in. read more

This restaurant, WikiWiki Hawaiian BBQ, appears to be a very popular place, because on the day I visited here, there were lot of customers. Both in store, and phone or online orders, food was just flying out of that door left and right. The staff were moving like lightning, it was incredible to see. As busy as they were, the employees didn't skip a beat. Including the one lady handling everything in the front. She was taking and fulfilling all of the orders, and doing it effortlessly! Oh, and she was friendly on top of that! Wow. Lol. I was staying at a hotel nearby and traveling by foot this day, and by the time I got back to my room, my food was still extremely hot. It had a lot of flavor, and they made sure to accommodate my special requests. Overall, an absolutely great experience! read more

After desperately trying to find dinner to eat, this popped up on Google of places near me to eat. I was debating at first because people would always tell me to not eat Hawaiian style foods from other places other than Hawaii like bbq or poke. But how could anyone mess up making bbq? it always taste so good right? well I was wrong. When we first ordered, the lady up front wasn't so nice of welcoming at all. I got a bbq mixed plate. After ordering, I walked out the the shop so I could wait outside while they made my food. Literally 1 minute later, she calls for me. My food is done. That fast?! it's been like 1 minute. She puts my plate lunch into a bag with utensils and hands it over to me. At this moment i'm super skeptical because there is no way that my food was cooked that fast which makes me think it was old food. Arrived to the hotel which was 3 minute drive. Opened up my plate lunch to eat and al though it looked promising, it surely did not taste good at all. The teriyaki beef tasted so bad, no flavor, it felt like it was shredded up old meat. The bbq chicken tasted alright though. Overall the food is just horrible. As someone who was born and raised in Hawaii, this place puts Hawaiian bbq to shame. read more

YES the loco moco is just as good as I remember it! I don't know why people say the owner/cashier is rude - I'm nice to her and she's nice to me. She gets really busy and a lot of phone in orders so maybe she's a bit busy/distracted, but I think she's sweet. read more

This is a takeout style restaurant where you order at the front and then they serve everything to-go! There's a small amount of seating for 2-3 people, but it's limited. I got the chicken katsu for $15 and 2 spam musubis for $7. Chicken katsu portions are big and worth! Spam musubi wasn't really worth it. I would stick to the popular dishes. read more

Still the best Chicken Katsu in the world. Yes, the world. I have eaten Chicken Katsu in 12 different countries and have never found anything better than WikiWiki. I started coming back in 2007 and stop by every time I am near the airport. One time I got crazy and put Chicken Katsu on top of a double double (since they are in the same shopping center) and OMG what a treat. I do have to watch my weight so it's not something I eat often but definitely worth a shot for anyone looking for a quick and delicious meal near the airport. read more

HAWAIIAN BBQ, seems like lately, a lot of people are talking these kinds of Eateries up...perhaps I'm a bit behind the times but this was my first experience w/this cuisine. Taken for lunch by my Boss because she craved her fav dish here, the Chinese Chicken Salad, I must admit WikiWiki Hawaiian BBQ in El Segundo provided an EXCELLENT dining experience, food wise. I didn't interact w/any employees, so I can not speak to the issues of past reviewers regarding the service. The establishment is small...a general outdoor dining area is provided for several Eateries that are side by side at the end of this outdoor strip mall. The Menu board lists the varied offerings as #'d plates...just make a choice and order. Fountain Drinks and a Beverage Cooler make your choice of beverage fairy simple. The wait time from ordering to eating was relatively short, 5-8 minutes, so no problem for our lunch meal. Our order consisted of the Chinese Chicken Salad (didn't have this myself, but it looked very appealing), I was told it was DELICIOUS 5/5, and my own order of the Hawaiian BBQ Mix (BBQ Chicken, BBQ Beef and Kalbi Short Ribs w/sides of Cabbage, Rice and Macaroni Salad) 5/5. My biggest surprise was the EXCELLENT flavor of the "MEATS" and the side of Cabbage (really delicious). WikiWiki Hawaiian BBQ in El Segundo provided one of the best "take-out" meals I have experienced during these COVID-19 times and on this occasion...in this Yelper's opinion, at least "food wise", they have truly earned this "highly recommend" 5 Star review. read more

$9.90 for TWO spam musubis made with a thick layer of old rice is really frustrating. But glad to be supporting a smaller business I suppose. Longish wait for the food had me hoping everything was fresh...the rice again was definitely a day old. Bbq chicken was good. Very sad about the musubi price and quality- not worth the money tonight (12/21/24). read more

Never had Hawaiian BBQ before so I wanted to try while the hubby wanted in and out burger located in the same plaza. I ordered here then went to get his burger. The terriyaki chicken was okay nothing out of the ordinary. The chicken was served with rice and the chicken was placed under a bed of boiled cabbage. It also had a side of macaroni salad which I didn't eat. Funny sometime the simplest thing is the best. I really liked the boiled cabbage. It was a good compliment with the terriyaki chicken. The Katsu chicken was a tad better. It had a crispy outer coat to it. It was still bland. It did come with a soya sauce. Overall an alright lunch. The plate was big enough for 2. read more

I used to love this place and used to order the chicken and beef combo. When we came back that and almost everything in the menu increased in price by about $4.00. This has to be reflected in the review because in my opinion this place no longer holds that great value that it used to and there are certainly other Hawaiian bbq options in the immediate vicinity. I understand that prices need to be increased to reflect inflation but a $35% is just greedy, off putting and leaves a bad taste in your mouth. read more

If you care about customer service, then this place is not for you. The lady at the counter had her back turned and filling sauce, which I understood, so I called her, and she didn't hear me. So I called again and still nothing and realized she was on a PERSONAL CALL during work hour and had to really raise my voice to get her attention. Finally she heard me and took my order. After getting my order, I asked for utensils and was given a look like I was asking for too much. I definitely will not be going back for a long time unless I am totally desperate to eat something with rude service. read more

Solid Hawaiian bbq place! Similar to Ono and L&L with their combo plates that come with rice and mac salad, but they also have lighter options with come with veggies as the side. I got the chicken katsu combo plate (also comes in a mini size) and it's a generous portion of katsu, rice, mac salad and the steamed cabbage on the bottom. I thought the flavor and crispiness was delicious and the food coma hit me pretty soon afterwards. WikiWiki is a no frills place, very limited seating inside (maybe 4-5 seats). Order at the counter and get your food in about 5 minutes. There's self serve katsu sauce, teriyaki sauce and sriracha packets. Located in the same plaza as In-n-Out, parking can get crazy during a lunch rush. Credit card minimum is $10. read more

Holy cow stay the heck away from this place ! I ordered stirfry shrimp and got fried shrimp , I ordered chicken musubi and got spam musubi That's not the worst of it. The worst part is when I brought it back because we don't eat fried food and spam. She lied and said that I ordered it and guess what she's on the phone with an earpiece talking to someone else the entire time, it's no wonder she messed up the order who in the world is she talking to? And why does she have so much to say she's talking constantly to someone in an earpiece You've been warned it is now 705 Friday night September 29.

I was going to go for a 2 star but drop it down to 1 the food is edible, otherwise everything else is crap the service is worse than McDonald's. Didn't even ask me if I wanted a drink or want it to go or eat here. Didn't even greet me when I walked in until I look at her like a lost puppy. $14.99 for a plate that anyone could make for less than $3. It's not even Hawaiian food at this point. A red neck could make a red neck version of what I just had and would taste 100% better. read more

My flight wasn't taking off for a few hours so I stopped by WikiWiki for a quick bite. It wasn't just a bite though. This meal could feed a whole family! I ordered #1 from the menu which is the Hawaiian BBQ mix plate w/ rice and macaroni salad. The amount of chicken, beef, and short rib you get for $11 is wild. My favorite is the chicken because it's thigh meat! Drizzle a cup of their delicious teriyaki sauce over the meat and rice. I couldn't even finish the plate and that's rare for me. Definitely a meal for 2 or more! read more

I don't know what's with all the 1-2 stars review up in here, but I have to say that this place is pretty good... and I actually grew up in Hawaii eating Hawaiian food. It's better than Ono's or some L&Ls. (I say "some" because L&L chains here are inconsistent -- a hit or a miss). This is what I look for in Hawaiian plate lunches; The portion, the macaroni salad and what kind of combo options are there. Portion: GOOD, Macaroni Salad: Tasty! and I got the Hawaiian Style Chicken (BBQ chicken) and the Chicken Katsu Combo which I totally approve. Going back for more today~ read more

Typical hawaiian restaurants similar to L&L's. I've tried their BBQ combo set and loco moco. Usually the beef/short rib at hawaiian restaurant tends to be dry and tough to chew, which was the same for WikiWiki. Chicken was on the juicier side but nothing special. However, I really liked their loco moco! I never had loco moco until I tried WikiWiki but I thought it was pretty good. On off days the gravy comes out a bit too salty but usually it's pretty good. I really like the patty which is packed with flavor. :) I don't have any loco moco standards since Wiki is the only place I tried locomoco but I'm assuming it's on the better side cause it surely is pretty darn tasty! Now I don't venture to try other dishes since loco moco has become my staple dish. Parking is HORRIBLE in this small plaza during lunch time. All the hungry workers rush out to this plaza and all the parking lot is taken. Not to mention people drive super fast in this plaza -__- so dangerous. read more

Does the customer service suck? Yes. But you're not here for a sit down meal. This is a Hawaiian takeout spot with quality veggies and meats. You go to wiki wiki to pick up your food and get out. The food is decently priced, HUGE portions, and very healthy options. Everything tastes great and not once have I had an issue with my meal getting messed up or the lady at the counter being disgustingly rude to me. She just wants you in and out. That's it.

This place isn't the best but it's not the worst. I think overall the food was OK. We had to compare this one to the one we used to go to --"Back Home in Lahaina" located in Carson.

I've been here once - a little over a year ago - and I thought I'd give them another try. My experience wasn't bad the first time, so I figure ... WHY NOT! It's a small place - there's probably enough seating for 4 or 5 people. It really is just a kitchen and a counter and a fridge for their drinks and an area for their sauces. There were a handful of people ahead of me. This place gets quite busy with phoned-in orders and deliveries. Most people got their orders to-go. I did the same. Decided on the mini loco moco, sauce on the side, and in lieu of the bed of cabbage, I requested for a little bit more macaroni salad. I absolutely got my money's worth - maybe a little more. There was plenty of macaroni salad. The patty was bigger than what I normally get for a loco moco - and it was pretty decent, flavor wise. There were a lot of fillers but the beef flavor still dominated. It was moist and yummy! The gravy was a little too sweet for my taste, so I hardly touched it. It was plenty of food for a "mini." Hunger satisfied! read more
