    4. Hawaiian BBQ Mix
    Ariana M.

    This place is right by my gym and honestly, it was so worth it!! This platter was $15.99 before tax.... I thought I was a bit pricey until I opened the box. The Hawaiian BBQ comes with 2 scoops of rice, Mac salad, kalbi, beef, and chicken on a bed of cabbage. Food breakdown: - beef short ribs were so tender - beef was so flavorful & tender as well - chicken wasn't my favorite but it was pretty good as it was packed with flavor What carried this dish was the teriyaki sauce! They had a self serve pump on the side and I recommend getting 2+ for this dish (if you like sauce) I wasn't a fan of the katsu sauce but I also didn't get katsu so that could've been it too. The service was really nice. I felt a bit bad cause I kept changing my order since there was so many items to pick from but the cashier was really patient with me. They had ample seating area and plenty of parking but I decided to take my food to go.

    Good and quick spot if you're looking for some Hawaiian food! The prices were pretty good considering they PACK!! their plates. We got one combo plate (chicken katsu/beef) for around $15.99 and one beef plate for $14.99. With how much meat they give it, it can honestly be two meals. The mac salad was also yummy too. The service was quick, mainly just in and out. It wasn't busy when I went (a Sunday afternoon) and parking wasn't bad either. There was a lot of seating area and they also had a TV inside. I would come back again if I was in the area!

    An inviting sign.

    We have many choices as it comes to Hawaiian BBQ. We've been to most, but by chance we saw the Aloha Hawaiian BBQ sign. We really thought it was on Garden Grove Blvd. We found the parking and it was easy right up front. Inside we were met by a helpful young server named Karen. The lovely missus' choice was the Chicken and Beef Combo, but she did not want the leafy vegetable. She did load up on a couple of Teriyaki Sauce containers which came in real handy later on. I was a bit hesitant but then decided that for a comparison with other places, I chose the standard Hawaiian BBQ Chicken, two scoops rice and 1 scoop Mac Salad and a good portion of the leafy cabbage vegetable. It didn't take very long and a CC is accepted for payment. They have a tip jar and the lovely missus made sure some dollars were put in the jar for Karen. Wow, the carry bag is heavy and once we got home we were amazed at the abundant volume of chicken pieces and beef portion in our combos. Each was filled to the brim and I might add that the taste was as if I got it at the local drive thru in Kauai. I think we got a winner here at Aloha Hawaiian BBQ and we will be back.

    Hawaiian BBQ Mix Plate. Huge portion enough for 2

    Nice location at the Corner of Beach and Garden Grove Blvd in the Walmart parking lot. Menu is extensive and includes more than teriyaki bbq with items like Spam Musubi and other appetizers. Service was quick and friendly. They have a large seating area if you want to eat in. I ordered the Hawaiian BBQ Mix Plate with Beef, Chicken, and 1 KBBQ Style Rib this plate is big enought for 2 people or to take home for 2nds or maybe even 3rds.

    Mini Chicken Katsu

    This place was such a pleasant surprise! I drive by it all the time going to Hmart and didn't know what I wanted for dinner except I wanted something tasty. I ordered the mini meal katsu plate $11.95 including tax but really feels like a good enough full plate. Feels like 1.5-2 chicken thighs sliced up katsu, rice and Mac salad over steamed cabbage. Katsu and Teriyaki sauce as much as you'd like as a side condiment. Service is descent. Only one star less cause the area is super sketch with tons of homeless and shady things going on at that intersection.

    Where's the health inspector when you need one? These ppl gave me uncooked food; I never asked for undercooked meat. it was basically raw ground beef in the middle (and burnt around the edges). E. Coli status. There was no apology and not even an offer to replace or recook it, and I wasn't about to drive all the back to argue with them for $16.49. You can keep that. I will never eat at this f*cken place again. Disgusting.

    Curry sauce

    $42.99 for the Aloha Family Meal; comes with 3 items, rice, mac salad & vegetables - Protein options: bbq chicken, teriyaki chicken, curry chicken, curry chicken katsu, chicken katsu, bbq beef (upcharge $2.40) - 6 scoops rice - 6 scoops macaroni salad - "Vegetables" is steamed cabbage under the protein $15.99 Hawaiian BBQ mix: short ribs and bbq chicken with 1 scoop mac salad and 1 scoop rice This was our first time to Aloha Hawaiian BBQ but I had to trust the reviews and see for myself. Located in the Walmart Neighboorhood market, the area can be a hit or miss. There's typically homeless on the grassy areas but they've for the most part kept to themselves. We did witness someone come in and steal from the Dominos a few doors down and the employees were annoyed but it clearly was not the first time it had happened. Just know your surroundings. My husband wanted to try the short ribs but they do not come a la carte or as a option for the Aloha family meal, so we had to order both. While our to go order was being assembled I was given 2 containers for the teriyaki sauce which dispensed quite liquidy so I was mentally prepared to have blown $60 on a taste bud dissapointment. The bbq chicken and curry chicken are identical as they are both marinated and grilled whole thighs. The curry sauce comes on the side and although it was quite tasty and I enjoyed the kick of heat, it had congealed in the time it took to get home. Even cold, I've never had curry congeal so I'm unclear if they used flour to thicken it. Not a deterrant, just a comment...I would still try it again. "Vegetables" ended up being sheets of steamed cabbage which I enjoyed but I was hoping it would be a cold slaw to balance out the meal. BBQ beef was an upcharge and very dry with a odd jerky / overcooked texture. We were in agreement we would not order that again. The short ribs were tasty but very thin and you only get 2 in the combo meal. Personally I felt it was not worth the spend and will only be coming back for the chicken options. Teriyaki sauce was runny but did not taste watered down when I ate it. All in all, a solid replacement for my Hawaiian Loft / L&L cravings as prices had increased post pandemic and the portions felt reduced at both restaurants. We had plenty of leftovers for another meal. I will definitely add Aloha BBQ into our rotation.

    The moment you walk smells like a homeless place. That should have been a warning sign to go back and walk out the door. I ordered the bbq plate and the beef itself tasted old. The katsu chicken was good. The short ribs was full of fat and no meat. I got diarrhea from this place so I definitely wouldn't come back. The smell had a stench of old rag. But I'm glad they were able to refund my money the same day.

    How big are the portions for catering? Would 4 Medium katsu chicken, BBQ beef, shrimp, and mac salad be enough for 20 people?

    Each medium tray is enough for 10 to 15 people. 3 trays of each would be more than enough for 20. If you would like, I would recommend 2 small (each enough for 5-7) and one medium tray, along with mac salad. Thank you.

From the moment we walked in, she stood out for all the right reasons. Her customer service skills are genuinely top-tier--she greeted us with a warm, sincere smile that instantly made us feel welcome and comfortable. Casie has such a pleasant and approachable demeanor. She took the time to really engage with us, making sure we felt taken care of without ever seeming rushed or distracted. What impressed us most is how attentive she is--she listened carefully and offered thoughtful recommendations based on what we might enjoy. If you're unsure what to order, she's the perfect person to guide you. Her suggestions were spot-on and made the whole dining experience even better. Beyond her professionalism, Casie has a wonderful personality that shines through in every interaction. She brings such positive energy to the environment--it's clear she enjoys what she does, and it reflects in how she treats people. On top of that, her beautiful complexion and confident presence add to her overall charm, making her truly memorable. It's rare to come across someone who combines efficiency, friendliness, and genuine care so effortlessly. Casie goes above and beyond to make sure every guest leaves satisfied, and that level of service deserves recognition. Because of her, we'll definitely be returning to Matiki BBQ and recommending it to others.

One woman in particular (presumably a manager or long-time employee) was shockingly, aggressively rude in a way that's hard to overstate. She barked orders and accusations at customers with zero patience, yelling over trivial things that no reasonable person could possibly know or control. Her tone was dripping with contempt, her attitude unapologetically hostile, and her behavior screamed ignorance wrapped in unearned entitlement. Zero warmth, zero professionalism--just pure, unfiltered disdain for the very people paying her bills. No one should have to endure being treated like an inconvenience or an idiot just to eat decent barbecue. The food might be worth a try if you're willing to stomach verbal abuse, but for most of us, it's not. Her complete lack of basic decency and customer service skills makes this place actively unpleasant. I won't be back, and I can't in good conscience recommend it to anyone who values being treated like a human being. One star only because the ribs themselves don't deserve zero--but she absolutely does.
