Hawaiian BBQ Beef Chicken Katsu
David B.

I've always treated this place as a quick in and out for spam musubi (when I've needed a fast meal) and I never took the time to actually see what else was on this places menu... hence this review of a bbq beef and katsu combo. Venturing out, by looks alone you can see they pack it up pretty well. Few scoops of rice, your Mac salad, and self serve sauce (if you're a sauce lover it's perfect). There are those times where you see a picture and you just know the food was good, this was absolutely one of those times. The meats were warm and tender, no rubbery texture or hard to pull. The sauce put the cherry on top, and for the price I was blown away. It has since been added as part of my regular going out list, and I'm mad I didn't try anything else sooner. The lady at the counter is so sweet and she works extremely hard, there's decent amount of seating inside but tables in the courtyard if it's a nice day out. You won't be disappointed with this Hawaiian bbq joint!

10 malasadas included in the Family meal

I'm not here to knock on the food. It's actually quite good. The short ribs and the Mac salad are so good. The problem comes if you order online at the website. The Family meal clearly states 3 meats, macaroni salad and 10 malasadas. When I got there, they said that I don't get the malasadas. I showed her the menu, but she said with confidence that the malasadas are not included. She said she'll ask the Owner later. There's a section online that asks "How can we make this right?" I told them and gave it several days, but no response. Bottom line right now. Don't order the Family meal online. Call the restaurant directly. You'll get the malasadas and save an additional $7.00

Asked for 6, gave 3 and 2 spilled. Now I only have 1 cup to eat with 2 orders spam musubi and katsu mix..

I had a really disappointing experience with Young Hawaiian Barbecue in Chino. I ordered delivery and spent over $31+, but when I asked for six cups of katsu sauce, they said I could only get three. In the past, even at the store, they have the sauce available on the counter wide open, but this time, it felt really stingy. It's frustrating because I couldn't fully enjoy my meal. Instead of prioritizing customer satisfaction, it felt like they were saving a few cents. I might give ono hawaiian a try since they are also on uber. Same price and same tip for the driver. I dont lose anything. This was a letdown for customer that ordered 2x at least a month from ubereats (March 29th, march 22th,Feb 21st, Feb 15th) Good luck‼

If you're in Chino Hills and want comfort Hawaiian food. Give Young Hawaiian BBQ a try. They seem to have a lot of steady walk-in as well as phone orders. It's a small little place with five or so tables for sit down eating. Nothing fancy, everything is about the food. The owner is really friendly and greeted us when we came in. Placed our order and waited. The owner brought us this tasty sugar coated what essentially is a doughnut ball for us to snack on while we waited for our order. That was unexpected and really welcomed by my two "always hungry teenagers". My son ordered the two item combo and i feel that is really a great deal for about $14 you get to choose two proteins. He ordered katsu and hamburger patties (you get 2). My daughter and I ordered the short ribs. Loved every bite of it. Definitely recommend a visit.

Delicioussss ! Everything was so good. 10/10! Clean space, great customer service and great food!

Chicken Katsu

Quality has gone WAY DOWN. All of our chicken is dark and fatty inside katsu and one had a dark short black curly hair in it I feel so sick. Will not be coming back here I always loved this place. But omg after today I will never chance this again. What a waste of money.

They are nice take me back to atmosphere in the 90s so it was very fun, so if you got to go on lunch for business this a nice spot

Just moved to Chino, always looking to find good food local. Good prices, food is excellent! I recommend. 10/10

It had an old school vibe. It was clean and has indoor and outdoor seating The meats were overall pretty good. The ribs had a great flavor and bbq sauce was really good. The beef ribs were a good size. Only one part of one of the ribs was dry but the other side was tender and juicy as well as the others. The baby ribs were tender and had great flavor. Our favorite was the brisket. Our least favorite was the sausage. I wasn't a fan because when we bit into a piece it kind of crumbled. Seemed dried out but it had good flavor. The spiced watermelon was refreshing and the cornbread was hot and light. The Mac and cheese was solid. I'm not a fan of mustard based potato salad but my wife is and she really liked it. I didn't taste it but she said the ingredients worked together well but it was just a little mustard flavor forwarded. But she was a fan of it. So people that don't like a mustard flavor might not like it. We were split on the beans. I thought they were ok. Very light flavoring. But my wife absolutely loved it. I'm used to the bbq baked beans with the sweet bbq sauce so again it's your presence.

The chicken is perfectly glazed, and the broccoli has that ideal char. ​Short, sweet, and consistently delicious. If you want a foolproof meal, this is it!

I couldn't even hear the person across from me that I came with to eat dinner nor could I hear the server either. The restaurant was so excruciatingly loud that it genuinely caused bad ear pain and a headache so we left before ordering anything else besides water. Completely ruined the entire experience. And for reference I don't have any hearing problems and I'm in my 20s, so if I can't hear what the person directly next to me is saying then there's a problem here. It was so crowded and full of loud drunk people. Incredibly overwhelming. This place needs better max capacity laws in place or if they actually have them they're definitely not following them here. Also the inside set up is like a labyrinth. It's a confusing half open concept to the outside, half inside, and all very overstimulating. None of the staff seemed concerned at all with the hundreds of people overfilling the restaurant loudly speaking/yelling. This is unacceptable to be honest. I just wanted to come here to have a nice dinner after a long day at work and I couldn't. Beware of the noise especially if you have children or older people in your party; we didn't have either but I can't imagine how they'd feel in this chaotic environment. Btw, sitting outside won't change or help this fact either as it was also extremely overcrowded and nearly just as loud as well. 1/5 stars. Please manage your capacity better because it's driving customers away. This is supposed to be a nice restaurant not a club.

They have a great selection of meats at reasonable prices. There are two tiers: King and Prince. We usually opt for Prince because we always order their beef brisket and beef belly. We also love their banchan. Our favorites are radish and rice paper, kimchi, steamed egg, glass noodles, corn cheese, garlic and jalapeño, and spicy tofu soup. On our recent visit, we noticed a tablet at our booth. Don't try removing it. It needs to stay attached to the stand to keep its charge. I like using the tablet in general because it eliminates the possibility of missing orders. The time it takes to place the orders and when we receive them is very minimal. The quality has been consistent and the service is always the good. Thanks, Wang Cho, for always delivering! See you on our next visit!

The atmosphere used to feel so much nicer, the service was personal, and even the patio made it a great place to hang out with friends and family. Now it feels like management is focused on cheap food and cutting labor costs with all the tablets and kiosks, which just makes ordering awkward and less convenient. Everything feels more disorganized and less personal than it used to. I used to recommend this place all the time, but over the years I've watched it slowly go downhill. Really sad because it just doesn't have the same vibe or experience anymore.
