    After working in Rancho Palos Verdes for 10 hours. My hubby picked me up from work. I asked him if…read morehe felt like dining in somewhere to eat. He said yes! We drove into this plaza not far from work. I seen folks sitting outside. I could smell food. So we parked and walked inside. The place was busy folks at the bar chatting away watching the games that were playing. We were seated immediately. The server came asked what would we like for drinks. Hubby ordered a Michelada and I ordered a diet coke. That Michelada was delicious! I ordered Fish and Chips with cornbread I gave my food a 10. Hubby ordered BBQ pulled pork sandwiche he gave his food a 7. He was still hungry so I shared my plate with him. I wanted dessert so I asked for menu. We ended up ordering cookies and cream. That dessert was a 10!!!! The service was perfect and we enjoyed the vibe of shore grille. Never knew this good eatry was close to work. And for it being a holiday the 4th I thought they would of closed early.

    We placed order via Foodja for BBQ and the food was not disappointing. We love the tri-tip! The…read moresides were very good too. The food arrived on time which tells me the restaurant was quick and made the order on time for Foodja delivery guy to pick up & deliver. I love that we got stickers and menus with our order. This really helps us see other items are on their menu. We will definitely consider going to dine at the restaurant in person and do more deliveries.

    I typically do not review chain restaurants and I will use a metaphor to kind of explain the why…read morebehind the decision. In carnivals or county fairs, there is a revolving shooting gallery game where 2-dimensional ducks continuously rotate on a conveyer belt. Shooting one down means little because it will eventually re-surface, and there are so many plastics ducks that denting one does nothing against the flock. I mean, in order to really make a statement against the flock one would have to use a bazooka or missile launcher to bring a specific duck down. And even though I have had bad experiences with this Ono's link that have resulted in some tummy grumbles, I can forgive because I understand that sometimes I am an unlucky duck that receives the worst of a business day. But this review is not meant to shoot down this place, quite the contrary it is meant to celebrate this place all the ducking way! The fare is Hawaiian inspired, and typically solid. And it can be healthy (grilled chicken) or indulgent (katsu- Asian fried chicken) and even unnecessary in an extra side kind of way (musubi or cream cheese wontons/ragoons). My recommendation is to stick to a combo---- protein, steam greens, side of rice and macaroni salad. I forego the macaroni salad and add a side salad or extra rice, depending on the time of day. All of this to say that this place is a strong conceptual choice for fast food that feels clean and island-like. And now, to the specific reason as to why I Yelp for this place an employee of the joint who goes by the name of Alicia. This place is the move, often a time for me. And I have been to this place so much that Alicia knows my voice and knows my order. It is kind of great to drive, and have someone know your name. Now the Cheers theme song impacts me in a different way. Alicia is friendly, never in a rush, makes me feel like I am the only customer in the world (shout out to Riri) and is attentive to a fault. I think, due to our brief banter the line grew a little bit longer than it should have. But again, Alicia did not make me feel like it was a problem. She made me feel like we were on Island time. She is also a salt to the earth type of person, a down-to- roll, kind of girl because she posed for her moment in the light. Workers like here elevate a fast food choice to a welcomed visit.

    Whenever I'm craving a spam musubi, chicken katsu or Hawaiian ribs but don't feel like making it…read moremyself, I come here. I would visit this place more but the problem is the drive thru is pretty slow. I get that they make the food as you order so you can't expect 2 minute service but I feel like maybe they can make things faster by taking orders as soon as you get to the drive thru speaker. Sometimes I find myself waiting 5 minutes or more to get my order taken. It would also help to maybe move the menu stands closer to the entrance so they could take more orders before cars get to the window or have someone go out there to take orders when there's a line of cars. Often times they waste time when cars are just sitting there waiting to get their orders taken only to wait again for their food to be prepared. It doesn't make sense. I would come here again but only when I have time to wait or if I see that there is no line of cars waiting.

    Meat quality was sooo good and the service was super friendly!!…read moreAll the side dishes were amazing too! Definitely coming back again!!

    I went for lunch on a Saturday. The food was outstanding. For some reason Yelp isn't loading my…read morepicture. I got the spicy beef soup. Ordinarily, I don't care for the texture of shredded beef, but that's not on them, and the food was terrific. The banchan were plentiful and tasty; the cabbage kimchi was a standout. So why only 3 stars? From the beginning, the waiter, an older gentleman, was unsmiling. That's ok. I don't need him to smile or be friendly. I just need him to be a good waiter. But he wasn't -- at least not to me. He didn't check back on me even once. Never asked if I needed water, more banchan, another beer, never even glanced at me. He passed me multiple times, however, to dote on the other 3 tables that were occupied while I was there. I was the only one he completely ignored. There are three possible explanations that I could come up with, since when I spoke to him he assured me I had not offended him in some way. The first explanation, although unacceptable, isn't sinister. The other two are problematic. 1. I was the only one sitting by myself, and he thought he'd get a bigger tip at the other tables. It's not an ok thing to do: ignoring solo diners. But it happens, and I know everyone's got to make a living. This is the *most* benign explanation I can come up with. Or . . . 2. I was the only non-Asian in the place. 3. I was the only person with a visible disability in the place. I gave the waiter a chance. I calmly and quietly asked him to explain why he had ignored me completely and served the other tables to my exclusion. His answer: "I didn't want to disturb you." No, I didn't buy that either, and I told him so. I'm not quick to jump to conclusions like #2 or #3, but it's not looking good at this point for Kim's BBQ. I have friends who live and eat in PV, and God help this restaurant if I ever conclude that either of those is the reason for my treatment today. If I ever conclude that, I will not let it go. Clean it up, Kim's BBQ. There's eyes on you.
