I have seen so many positive reviews on Mei Mei so I thought it gotta be good! Hmmm I wasn't sure…read moreif it was just a bad day for the chef or the quality has gotten worse? 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.

I was hungry and my wife asked me to drive to Liliha to pick up lunch. There is parking but today it was packed. After I drove in someone was pulling out. Thank you Jesus! The lady at the counter was really nice! I gave her my order and was talking with her about their Lego figurines. I did a takeout order of their hamburger steak gravy all over and Sweet Sour Spareribs. Remember I said I was hungry? That's why there's no pictures of my lunch... sorry... was sooo Ono I scuffed it all down!! The hamburger was homemade like I like it. Gravy was good and that's what makes a good hamburger steak. The rice was cooked perfect and the Mac Salad was done right! My wife had the spareribs she liked it. She said it was done like Chinese style. As always this is my review, you need to check them out for yourself. Support local!!

Late lunch in Kalihi, Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. Located at Kingsgate Plaza, Aloha Express shares its free parking lot with businesses such as Jollibee and S7 Icy Bubble. The former name of Aloha Express is 99 Local Mix Plate. They used to be at Moanalua 99 food court/shopping center. The service is still cheerful and efficient. After I ordered the mini Garlic Ahi, the cashier said it's a better deal to get the special... ok! Later, she told me that they sold out of ahi and can give me mahimahi... ok! Thank you! The rice was ok and the macaroni salad had small bits of carrot and onion in it. I dined in because I was between meetings. I was able to observe the walk-in customers and see how the cashier interacted with everyone. She's really good because she remembers the regulars and their orders! I really enjoyed having a meal in this bright, clean, spacious restaurant. Note: It used to be a Mexican restaurant. It's situated in the corner of the plaza, near the stairs. Go find them!

We found this place by accident when we were in Oahu during spring break. We had a little while…read morebefore our Airbnb was ready, and we were starving. This happened to be on the way to our destination. All of us got the smoked pork plate, with rice and mac salad. Yummy!! It's one of their most popular dishes/plates, and I can taste why. Service was quick and friendly. Seating was great too, as you could look out over the street, ask the windows are open to let in the nice breeze. It was hard to find at first (based on our map), but found that the entrance is at the back of the building, and it's located on the second floor. Definitely recommend this place if you're near Waikiki

Review 35 (2026)…read more There was promotion, 6/2-6/9, 50% off for 4 excellent items. Store owner / server just added 4 items, and regular menu Ishiyaki Bibimbap and drinks. There were 3 original sauce for Yakiniku. He remembered us, we used to order for take out. We are fan of Yakiniku Sizzle. Ishiyaki Bibimbap was so delicious, much much better than anywhere else, the best in Hawaii. Yakiniku meats were so fresh and tendered. We are so lucky we live close by. I want to try lunch menu too. Their recommendation " Omelet " I saw in IG. There are daily lunch specials available. And Happy Hour drinks serve during weekdays. We will be back very soon. Thank you so much.

Called ahead to ask if they do the lunch specials for take out and they do. However, right after I…read moreasked that the guy hung up.... I called again to say I needed 2 orders of the tonkatsu lunch special for takeout and there was a bit of confusion and he hung up again... I went after about 20min to go pick up the order. Confirmed my order was for 2 tonkatsu specials and paid. Then had to wait another 20 minutes to get it. I guess the phone order didn't do much besides give them a head's up that I was coming? 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.

Great Korean bbq, authentic Korean. Healthy option with the lettuce wraps, children no need a meal…read more Couldn't read the Korean on the lettuce wrap special but it came with all kinds of lettuce (bok choy, lettuce, shiso leaf, red lettuce leaf), two kinds of miso, fresh garlic, one sizzling platter of bulgogi, and one hot tofu soup. Much more than we could finish with 2 adults and one child. Also impressive banchan- toppogi, Napa kimchee, cucumber kimchee (sweet), bean sprouts, and others At $22 an adult, x2, it was a great deal.

Food - I didn't do the menu ordering but I know they have different MENU's for the AYCE portion as for price difference I'm not sure. (Please see MENU picture I posted). My FOOD that I enjoyed was the KALBI fasho also the Brisket was good. Also the Thin Pork collar was good. And already cooked Fried Man Doo Restroom's - Yes they do have restrooms MENS & LADIES Service - The staff was friendly and helpful when you ask for help or assistance they do come on a timely manner which is good specially when the place is busy with other customers. Bad - Not much too say but one thing the tables & chairs are cluttered next to each other so if there's people sitting near you and can get closer then close. Would i recommend this KOREAN AYCE spot to other customers that are looking for a AYCE Korean spot to check / eat out at? YES I would For tourist who are staying in waikiki - This spot is good to checkout it's like less then 1-2 miles away from. Waikiki area. Posted on 10/2026
