The food is good, would give 4 stars instead of 5 because we feel that the taste is at saultier part
This place looks so shady It is, however, entirely worth the trip. The food was delicious - I didn't love the crab Rangoon because there was too much cream cheese and not enough dough, but YMMV, but the mixed grill plate was superb and lasted for like three meals at a decent price. And online ordering is easy and the food was ready right on time.
Great portion sizes and delicious food! Definitely a restaurant worth checking out for a different type of cuisine. Will definitely return!
I've had Ohana and wanted to try this spot for comparison! It's also called #1 Hawaiian. They opened in the same spot Thai 2 Go used to be in. They've got about the same options as Ohana, except a few variations, like the Mochiko chicken. I decided to do a half and half with the Mochiko and the teriyaki chicken. It also comes with sauce on the side! I also added seaweed salad to add some greenery to my meal. Delicious food! It was a lot and lasted me a couple days. A lot of rice! And the Mac and cheese is packed separately which was nice. Good prices for what you're getting. I'll be back!
I've only tried them through Grubhub & was very impressed with their packaging of all items. The bubble tea came in this great cup with a punch card & in its own bag. I would not get it again though. The boba is hard. I'll stick to a boba place for this. The side of bbq chicken was generous. It was tender & juicy. Super impressed & appreciate being able to try more proteins in a smaller portion. Well priced as well! The musubis were huge! More rice an anything but they were soft & flavorful. Nice soy based sauce with it. The Gravy Fries were ordered with the gravy on the side just incase they don't already package them like that. The fries are basic, most likely frozen fries but the gravy is flavorful with a tiny kick to it!. In all, I would definitely order from here again and there's much more on the menu I want to try!
Used to be Thai 2 Go and replaced into #1 Hawaiian BBQ. Personally, I am not quite familiar with Hawaiian food and get excited to explore. The store is tidy and small, however, able to fit a couple table for dine in. The menu have a variety of appetizers, Musubi, combo plate, and more... If you get the combo plate, you can select with mini or regular size. It also come with a side of macaroni salad and rice. I got the BBQ Mix combo plate, which have BBQ beef, short rib and chicken. I love the chicken they most as it is super juicy and tender. The beef and short rib is slightly dry. The side of macaroni salad is also my favorite as well. I also try Musubi for the first time. I do like this combination of spam, seaweed and rice, along with the sauce which is slightly sweet.
Excellent food! Everything was so tasty! I did not grow up in Hawaii, but I did grow up eating spam, so that was nostalgic. I ordered the bbq bento specifically because I saw the spam on there with a variety of other meats. The we ordered a spam musubi, too, for an authentic Hawaiian experience. The bbq beef and chicken were both tender and tasty. The fried mahi mahi fish was perfect with the tartar sauce. I also tried a bite of my husband's order: the loco moco with egg. A bed of rice, hamburger, gravy, with fried egg on top. Sounds odd, actually IS kind of odd, but also an oddly satisfying combination. Each meal comes with a macaroni salad and a sweet soy sauce for your rice. And what a nice surprise to find out that Friday through Sunday each meal comes with a sugar donut. A nice touch. Also, these meals are big. Tons of rice, and a great portion of meat. We both had leftovers.
#1 Hawaiian Barbecue is by far my favorite place to eat. Since my last review the food has gotten even better and the portions got bigger even though the prices went up a little. But definitely worth every penny. The food is always ready quickly and the service is kind. Overall, you should try it out if you haven't. I promise you'll want to come back.
Wow. It ain't fancy, and even the menu is not particularly beguiling, but the basic descriptions you read on it turn out to be amazing food. We stopped in for a snack. Hah! Baby K got sugar donuts. Simple, right, and small? I figured 3 or 4. Nope, a dozen or so, big ones (well, like big donut holes) filling up a large takeout box. She maybe ate half, loved them. Big puffy things, hot, soft, sugary. We'll have the rest for breakfast. I have a buddy who grew up in Hawaii and has told me about the food; when poke places started opening in town I would have some, and grab him spam musubi. They were good, maybe 1x2 inches, succulent and tasty. When I saw it on the menu here I had to have it, and they have katsu and Hawaiian BBQ ones so I had one of each. And each was about 2x3, and thick. Three was a meal, essentially. Loads of rice, yards of seaweed, and lots of tender flavorful meats in each. The katsu was big and crispy. Yum. The BBQ chicken was tender, a little sweet, so good. And the spam was huge, soft, salty, with a little sauce, amazing. Service was friendly and efficient. The wait wasn't long (we ordered at the counter; again, dropping in for a "snack" that turned into a meal.) They do a steady carryout business. With their big menu full of stuff I want to try, we will be back. Oh, and a cooler full of a few pops and a ton of Hawaiian juices. Most are passionfruit mixed with something. K had strawberry, I had lychee. Very refreshing on a hot day.
