    #1A) Seafood BBQ Chicken Combo with Chow Mein and Fried Rice
    Maria L.

    Came here to get some takeout around 6:30pm on Monday. Plenty of parking outside. They had some tables on both sides of the restaurant, but it appeared that most people were getting takeouts. The setting was very causal, and they're playing some music videos on the big TV. Since someone was in front of us ordering at the only register, we ordered via the ordering kiosk, which was very convenient and straightforward. Our food was ready in less than 15 mins, and was still warm when we got home. I had #1A) Seafood BBQ Chicken Combo with Chow Mein and Fried Rice. It came with 2 big pieces of skin-on chicken thigh, 1 big piece of fish that can be easily cut into two, 3 tail-on butterfly shrimps, 2 scoops of fried rice, plenty of noodles, some raw cabbage, a wedge of lemon and tartar sauce. It's such a good deal at $17.25! I saved half of it for lunch the next day and was still stuffed. Flavor-wise, it was not bad, either. The BBQ chicken was cooked well and favorable, just a bit on the saltier side. The deep-fried seafood and chow mein were not oily. There's a tiny bit of bean sprouts and onion in the chow mein. I didn't care for the raw cabbage, though. It would have been perfect if they cooked the cabbage together with the noodles, or offer an option to have the cabbage cooked. My husband enjoyed his Combination Plate, and had leftovers as well. Would love to go back and try their Chinese dishes.

    We had dinner here tonight and it was so good. We had been here once before when Yelp was featuring Asian-owned business. We lived it so much that we had to return. This is a family run business and they are so kind. We placed our order at the front register with the daughter of the owner. She greeted us with a smile and was so sweet. I ordered the BBQ chicken plate and picked the mac salad and fried rice for my two sides. I also ordered a side of mac salad to take home for tomorrow, because it's so good. My husband ordered the Kung Pao Chicken with steamed rice. He also ordered the fresh watermelon juice that they make fresh. We found a table right by their big screen TV so we could watch Panama vs. Ghana play in the World Cup. They have plenty of seating inside. All the tables were clean and spotless. Our food was delivered to our table quickly. My chicken was so moist and delicious. I love the marinade they use for it. The fried rice and mac salad were delicious. My husband loved the Kung Pao Chicken and enjoyed his refreshing watermelon juice. He said the spice level on the Kung Pao Chicken was a medium spice, which he liked. Their portions are very hefty and generous. We were only able to eat half of our food and we took the rest home for lunch tomorrow. We really enjoyed our meal and excellent customer service. We look forward to returning again soon.

    Sweet & Sour Chicken
    Stacy C.

    A friend raved about Be Wok & Hawaiian BBQ in a Yelp review so I was eager to try it. Be Wok offers both Hawaiian and Chinese food. I had a taste for Chinese, so I ordered sweet & sour chicken, white rice, and a small wonton soup via delivery. The sweet & sour chicken was probably the best I've ever tasted. The chicken was tender and the flavor of the sauce was perfection. The portion was huge, too. My delivery arrived piping hot. The wonton soup was also delicious. A small is enough for two people. In addition to wontons, the soup contained pieces of beef, cabbage, broccoli, and more. I would have liked the broth to be more flavorful, but it was still good. Can't wait to try more dishes from Be Wok.

    As I was thumbing through Yelp trying to figure out where to eat, I happen upon Be Wok and Hawaiian BBQ. And noted that they serve chicken Katsu. Wifey be like... what's that? I be like don't worry about, let's go!, lol! Be Wok is in a shopping center right across the street from Safeway on Hamilton Ave. the parking situation in front of Be wok is not the greatest if you are driving a car that you care about as the spaces are tight, but don't threat because just a 15 second walk, in the shopping center there are plenty of spaces with no cars for Miles. The inside of Be Walk has plenty of tables to dine in and a big screen tv to enjoy, while you are eating. "Everyone that came in while we were there took there's to go" They have a pretty extensive menu and their prices are very reasonable especially considering the amount of food they give you." the plate I ordered was easily enough for the both of us." I ordered the chicken Katsu plate which comes with two sides. I ordered rice and chow mein for my sides. Wifey ordered the teriyaki bowl which comes with rice, teriyaki chicken and broccoli. "Our orders were ready in about 5 minutes!!" The Good & not so good: #1. The amount of chicken Katsu that they gave me was staggering!! 5 stars. #2. The flavor of the chicken Katsu, it's texture, and how it was prepared was IMO top notch 5 stars #3. The fried rice was... well.. lacking 2 stars tops. "Will not order again" #4. The chow mein was also not good and I found it lacking. 2 stars "will not order again" #5. The chicken teriyaki bowl was IMO very, very good as a whole and the portion I felt was perfect. "No complaints, none, zero... 5 stars. #6. The service was fast and friendly 5 stars. Overall conclusion: This is a place that I most assuredly will be coming back too. Next time I will go for the white rice as a side and veggies.

    I stopped into Be Wok & Hawaiian BBQ for a snack. A standalone store in a decent sized shopping center. The parking seemed plentiful. The place is a simple family business that serves Chinese & Hawaiian cuisine. Order via kiosk or cashier. One unisex restroom. The interior has several tables where you can sit and eat. One large LCD TV screen showing professional sports. The owner/cashier was super friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Musubi with Portuguese Sausage. Decent with a flavorful sausage. I look forward to trying some of their other dishes.

    Ordering from the counter

    Finally! Good Hawaiian food in San Jose! I've been looking for this for so long. Why there aren't more good Hawaiian food places in the Bay Area I just don't understand. This is good, solid Hawaiian lunch plate food you might find on the islands. Just solid, not greasy, not complicated, and really good tasting food. I'm already planning my next trip back. FOOD: Of course this is why you come here. Great selection of standard Hawaiian staples like lau lau and kalua pork and saimin and staples like BBQ chicken and beef. So thrilled they allow you to choose two sides! Standards like mac salad, rice, and chow mein (three different kinds of rice), but also broccoli, salad, and french fries. Wow. My daughter has been searching for good loco moco and we finally found it here. Yum. Plus they have all these good Chinese dishes too! Now I have to come back for that? SERVICE: So pleased with the service. The woman behind the counter was very helpful and patient. And the food came out relatively quickly. Portion sizes were terrific and well plated. COST: Excellent for what you get. They really pile it on. Definitely coming back! Probably many times.

    Definitely above average experience at Be Wok- I did get my meal via delivery app so this review is strictly food based (no atmosphere, parking or vibes which make or break an eatery sometimes). So let's dive in: I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of my meal. I got a 1/2 fried fish and 1/2 bbq beef entree. It came packed with rice, veggies and salad...everything was absolutely amazing. You can select basically anything in the entree meal & won't be disappointed. I can't wait to go back.

    Seafood Combo - with Shortrib
    Cathy T.

    The fried fish was crispy and flaky. I opted for my 2 sides to be Mac salad and greens. The combo does not automatically come with rice so make sure you pick rice as a side if that's what you're looking for. The Mac salad has a pleasant creaminess from the mayo. The greens side adds a crunch and freshness. The portions here are very generous! Three butterfly shrimps, two short ribs and a large fish fillet!

    mini chicken katsu with white rice and mac salad
    Aileen L.

    Came with friends who were here for the yelp community event and bought a plate for myself - we came around 6pm on a Friday and there was a decent amount of people there as well. Service was friendly and quick, and they helped answer our questions about the menu, which seems to have both chinese takeout and hawaiian bbq options. The inside is simple with a few tables and chairs and is relatively roomy. I got the mini chicken katsu with 2 sides - I chose white rice and mac salad but really should've opted for a veggie of some sort since I got a little carbed out The chicken katsu was perfectly juicy and tender inside with a nice crispy breading that wasn't too oily, and despite being "mini" had a very generous amount of meat and the sides were pretty large scoops too - this service was definitely more than enough to be a filling dinner for me. The mac salad was tasty and the white rice is white rice. Be Work & Hawaiian BBQ gets the job done when you're craving some hawaiian bbq classics, with solid quality and great value.

    BBQ Mic Plate
    Jennifer V.

    Okay, solid 4 - maybe 4.5 stars. SO - This place is pretty great. I find myself coming back here ordering many times and the food has been great. I've gone back 4 times now. Every time, the service has been amazing. Love her service, she's so attentive. I've since ordered: Honey Walnut Shrimp - they keep the sauce separate when ordering to go so the shrimp can stay crispy. So thoughtful. Beef and Green beans - sooo yummy. I love green beans and I really liked the flavor of the sauce and texture of the beef for this dish. Along with the usual bbq chicken and beef Hawaiian plates. They have the option to choose all Mac or all rice which I LOVE because I just love their Mac. Completely redeemed, they know good flavors. You can't go wrong, and even if it was an off day - give it another chance, they're pretty consistent on a good cook. Plenty of seating inside, but they also make pick up a breeze.

    BBQ mixed plate on left and Bento plate on the right
    Don U.

    Tried the BBQ mixed plate and the Bento plate, both were fresh and delicious. The fried rice and Mac salad sides were great. Wished the side garden salad came with a sesame dressing instead of ranch which didn't fit the flavor profile. Portions are large. Restaurant was very clean and loved watching movies on the giant TV. Service was excellent. Parking was plentiful. Will definitely come back to try the rest of the menu.

    Honey Walnut Prawn and Wonton Soup
    Nathan T.

    The food was very good. Walnut prawns were nice and hot/fresh out the fryer and the portion size was very generous. Just have to order your rice on the side. Wonton soup was your standard wonton but also was pretty good. Service was great the cashier was very helpful because I had a few questions. The inside is nice and clean they had a HUGE tv showing the nba playoffs, bonus for that, and they have a very large selection on their menu so def give this place a try!

I have done both the mixed BBQ chicken and beef - and then I also have done them as single option, always delicious. Again, great portion size. And I get it with broccoli, which is just steamed and super fresh tasting, absolutely love it. We love the appetizers - spring rolls and gyoza - so you get a little bit of everything here. Gyoza appetizer size is so generous - 10 usually? Hubby also gets sesame balls, not my jam, but he loves them! Actually if they had jam, I might like em, ha! I think they are meant to purposely not be too sweet, which they meet that requirement.

The location that we went to is located next to Maggiano's Little Italy in Santana Row on Olin Ave. There is a free 2 hour parking structure across of the restaurant where my boyfriend and I parked at. We came during their Lunch Specials (until 4pm) and Happy Hour (from 3-5:30pm) which worked perfectly as we wanted something smaller in portion compared to the dinner portions. We started off with drinks. I got their Pig Ol' Bitties Blonde Ale, and my boyfriend got their Friday Beer & Shot special of This Little Piggy Went to [Mark]et with a 16 oz Dirty Little Pig IPA and a shot of Benchmark whiskey. My fault for having him get a whiskey shot on an empty stomach, though HAHA. He did like how smooth the whiskey was at least! We shared a 2-meat BBQ Lunch Combo Plate, and honestly, we should have gotten 3 meats because of how tender and delicious everything was! We got their Tri Tip and Sliced Brisket with their Garlic Mash and server recommended Sweet Potato Tots. Ahhh, everything was so good! Aside from the tender, flavorful meats, the two sides, especially the garlic mash, were sooooo good. We both loved everything! It was definitely a great choice coming during lunch as we were quite full after ordering one of their happy hour shareables of Chips & Queso (kind of pricey even for happy hour in my opinion for chips and cheese). Honestly wished we got their Chili Cheese Fries or their other fries which were the same price than just chips and dip LOL. But it was a good hold over food with us drinking a bit (at least for me). Shoutout to the only server who was working on a late Friday afternoon as she was doing her best to accommodate everyone + trying to clean up the previous tables. It was kind of sad seeing that the other workers didn't help bus the tables in my opinion. Overall, a great place to watch sports and have some good whiskey as this restaurant is known for their whiskey selections! The lunch BBQ exceeded our expectations, and we would definitely come back for another lunch special meal but probably with 3 meats this time!

Mains: The fish was lightly breaded, which I appreciated and well seasoned. Great crust without being cooked hard. The fish was juicy and perfectly cooked. The brisket itself lacked flavor. My husband said eating the brisket sandwich was like eating smoke. The barbecue sauce provided was not great in flavor, he avoided adding it to save the brisket. The three piece fish meal with two sides and corn bread or sliced bread was $24, the brisket sandwich with one side was $19. Overall, neither of us finished our entree or the sides.

Sure it's smoky, and it could feel like the table is greasy, but honestly, you are in a Korean barbecue place. What do you expect? Everything is ordered on a pad that sits at the end of the table. The orders came out really timely, and the plates got cleared pretty quickly. I like the fact that everyone can choose their own broth for their hot pot, while also growing up whatever meats are ordered for KBBQ. The beef tongue was actually my favorite, which was surprising because that's something. I typically don't eat a lot of. But the cut of this particular meat was thin, making it really nice and crispy on the grill. All of the veggies were great for the hot pot, including the mushrooms. I chose the herbal broth, which was actually very balancing a nice to my greasy KBBQ. There is a whole bar in the back with sauces, and other toppings, like cilantro and onion, as well as some fruit. I honestly don't have any complaints about this place, and I definitely would be back again. For four people, the price was not bad at all considering it's San Jose. I actually think that it was one of the more reasonable places to eat, especially if you're hungry.

    I ordered the salmon and jerk chicken bowl from this takeout-only spot, so everything was served in…read morea to-go container. It is definitely more of a grab-and-go place than a sit-down restaurant, but the food traveled well and made for a solid meal. The plantains were one of the highlights. They were sweet, soft, and cooked really nicely. The rice was pretty average and did not add much to the bowl, but the proteins helped make up for it. The salmon was cooked well and stayed moist, although it could have used a little more seasoning or sauce. The jerk chicken was excellent, with great flavor and a nice amount of seasoning. I also tried some of my friend's oxtail, and that was easily the standout. It was incredibly flavorful, tender, and something I would definitely order next time. Overall, this was a very good experience and a great option for takeout. I would come back, especially for the jerk chicken and oxtail.

    Oh my goodness! I am so glad we came by this spot during our visit to the area. The restaurant is…read morepretty spacious and clean. A lot of customers coming and going. You order at the counter and they bring it to you. This kind of service is ok with me, but the fact that the defaulted tip is always calculated for you without the full dine in experience always gets me. This leaves the obligation to the customer. Anyway, I digress. The food was delicious nonetheless! We ordered: Oxtail and chicken combo 5/5 It was really good, except the scoops of rice were tiny and not in proportion with the protein Jerk chicken sandwich 3/5 Good, but the meat goes better with rice Beef & chicken patties: We prefer the beef over the chicken & ordered extras to go to share with family. Beef 4/5, chicken 3/5 Cornbread 5/5 Perfect amount of sweetness and the butter makes it so much better. Overall, yes, I would go back for the food. It is far for us, but if I am in the area, I'll definitely return. I love Caribbean food and this one is on my top list.

    Servers cooking your Korean BBQ for you! Say less! I had to come here ASAP. My friend and I got the…read morebeef combo that serves about 2-3 people, depending on how big your appetites are. The beef combo includes the kimchi jjigae or whatever jjigae you want. The kimchi jjigae was perfect--not too spicy and not bland. The beef is good, but some pieces can be tough to chew, maybe because they cook it instead of you. Still, it's worth it. Don't skip the rose tteokbokki. It's so good, creamy, and far from too spicy. The haemul pajeon (seafood pancake) was delicious. I'm not a big fan of green onions, but they made the pajeon really tasty. If you're of age, the makgeolli (rice wine) is great with Korean BBQ, or you can have some soju. My friend and I are big BTS ARMYs, so we had to get the banana milk in honor of Jungkook. This spot is chef's kiss-worthy and super delicious. Also, I think it's really cool they have a big jar of kimchi. It adds to the cool vibe and looks so tasty.

    It's not good at all for the price. The place looks good. I like the bok choy banchan. That's about…read moreit. The galbi was overcooked and chewy. Like not charred but actually really burnt for a few pieces. The tteokbokki was salty. Not for me, but if you don't have a good tolerance, like my fiancée, it definitely will be for you. The banchan was fine. Not a huge variety and they were alright besides the bok choy which I thought was excellent. Sadly, I couldn't really request more because our server never showed up. It was near the end of our meal when we finally got extra water and bok choy and that's only because we leered and flagged down our server. In general, they were pretty short with us and didn't check up so we could ask them to fix the meal.
