    Island Beef Ribs w/ double mac!!
    Eunhae H.

    I've ordered from Big Bros Hawaiian Grill a couple of times via their delivery app, and they've been consistently good. Every time, my entrees arrive well-packaged with everything neatly separated and still hot. It's clear they take care in preparing orders for delivery, which I really appreciate. Recently, I stopped by to pick up my order in person, and the spot had a cute Hawaiian-inspired vibe. The staff was friendly and my order was ready on time. I really love their Chicken Hawaiian BBQ plate. The chicken is always so smoky, tender, juicy, and delicious. Each plate comes with two complimentary sides: rice, macaroni salad, and greens. Of course, this place is known for their Island Beef Ribs, which is also one of my favorites. The beef ribs are ginormous and so much fun to eat with your hands. The Chicken Katsu has been a bit hit-or-miss for me; sometimes the chicken has been a little dry with more breading than meat. But when they get it right, the chicken is juicy, the breading is nice and crispy, and it's really good. They also serve breakfast all day, which is their Spam Breakfast Plate. I haven't tried it yet but looking forward to trying that and other items on their menu.

    We are extremely sad because this place used to be our fav. The quality has gone down, this is the worst katsu I ever tried. The panko breading was half off it needs more binder so the panko can stick. The pork is thinly cut it doesn't need to be cooked for to long but it was so overcooked it got dry. The macaroni was bland. The spam musubi was also mid. We paid 45 dollars for 2 plates was not worth it at all, what a shame there should be more consistency, this place used to be good. Not anymore.

    Spam masubi. Simple right ? Can't mess this up ! Please please tell me why all three I got this is the spam inside. Sell me rice at this point. Please I get it. Need to maximize but dang. I'll seek other spam places. 2 stars cause the rice was good. Couldn't taste spam.

    We ordered through door dash and the food was hot and fresh. Presentation of the food was ok. Mac salad was bland, didn't really help cut the greasiness of the beef rib or short rib. Chicken katsu was nice and crunchy. My niece didn't care for the loco moco. It was definitely bland and missing something. It didn't hit like how a loco moco is comforting and you just feel all warm inside. Overall, the food wasn't bad. It catered to everything my nieces wanted which made my life a little easier.

    Island Beef Ribs and Chicken Hawaiian BBQ

    I've been recommended this place a few times because it's near by and it's really hard to find good hawaiian food. My family is from hawaii so I grew up with good hawaiian food and I was excited to try this. Once arriving, we noticed the place was empty which was reasonable for it being 2pm on a Monday, everyone is probably at work. We ordered Island Beef ribs and Chicken hawaiian BBQ plates just to try and get the feel of the food here. The price was little steep for our liking, my BBQ chicken came out to almost $18 while the ribs I believe came out to $20. We got the food fairly quick (within 10 minutes). Yet after that it went down hill sadly. Both plates came with a scoop of whit rice and mac salad so we tried both. The mac wasn't actually that bad at all, we enjoyed that. The BBQ chicken was EXTREMELY dry and didn't have much flavor other than charred. The ribs were also pretty dry with not much meat on the bones. We went up and asked for some sauce or teriyaki sauce for my chicken and something for the ribs maybe. The auntie upfront didn't say anything to us, just looked at a jug on the counter (not labeled or anything) and turned around and started packing a new order. We didn't know it was the house sauce so we poured some. It was like broth, idk how to describe it. Like warm water with soy sauce and other seasonings. VERY VERY bland. We poured it over our food, which soaked it up instantly. And just ate it because we didn't wanna waste our money and auntie didn't seem like she was a "refund" type of lady. I dont think i'd be returning here any time soon because there's MUCH better hawaiian food spots around that's also cheaper for bigger portions. $40 for dried up meat isn't a great deal sadly.

    First off, I ordered this through DoorDash and it took around 20 min to get to me. I want to say that even with that drive, it tasted great. The ribs were flavorful with a good amount of meat. I liked the portion of green salad they gave and the sauce on it was fresh. Since this was my first meal from Big Bros, I definitely need to stop in for a fresh plate. I look forward to exploring more of their menu.

    Chicken Katsu
    Gardenia B.

    I'm so happy they're here! I was early to my nail appointment so I decided to come by this place for a late lunch. I ordered the chicken katsu to-go and it was the right call! the chicken is so flavorful and crisp to perfection! The rice is cooked perfectly and soft and I love that! The macaroni was just alright so I don't know if I would get that again. The people here are super friendly. They told me it would be at 10-minute wait since it was made to order but I was okay with that. It has a casual vibe and I will definitely will be back to try more if I'm in the area!

    Big Braddah wid da ono grindzzzz!! Felt like I was back on Oahu walking into this spot and immediately being hit with smells of BBQ and the sweet melodies of Kolohe Kai. Expect plate lunch style entrees with chicken, beef, and pork. I got the Hawaiian angus beef w/ rice and Mac salad but will try the loco mocos next. The guys working there were super nice and helpful. Loved the island decor as well.

    Kalbi Beef BBQ with rice and macaroni salad
    Lisa B.

    FOOD: the food here is really good. We had the Angus beef Hawaiian barbecue with macaroni salad and a green salad. We also had spamusubi and Kalbi beef barbecue with macaroni salad and rice. I don't usually like spamusubi but this was the best I've ever had. Not too thick with a good ratio of rice to Spam. SERVICE: exemplary service from Zeke. I ordered the food to go and it was thoughtfully and neatly packaged. AMBIENCE: cute, clean little restaurant in a corner spot. Keep your eyes peeled. You might miss it if you drive too fast. They have a lot of cute Hawaiian themed decorations and signage inside.

    Tucked away at the corner of a business plaza is this Hawaiian themed restaurant. The staff was nice and fast with their service. It has all the good food that you would expect it to have. I ordered the Chicken Katsu Plate with macaroni, the katsu was crispy and not dry. Also the mac salad and Spam musubi was good.

    Angus beef plate
    Nathaniel

    This became my favorite Hawaiian really fast in the City of La Mirada. Wife and I shared the angus beef plate and loco moco and destroyed it. The plates were uniform and came out real fast. Beef was amazing the marinade was insane. Loco moco fresh of the grill with the perfect amount gravy and perfectly coated eggs. We had to get the musubi and the boss gave us complimentary pineapple shaved ice. The whole dining area is an island vibe. Throw back to the og L&Ls but the food supersedes that. Come eat here !

    Undercooked ribs
    Andrew C.

    Really wanted to give this place a second chance for redemption but AGAIN undercooked meat. The service was great and the employees were super friendly(that's why I'm giving a second star) but the food is lacking. The short ribs were SUPER chewy without much flavor and the salad dressing was like eating candy! Wife got the bbq beef and it was also lacking flavor. Unfortunately I will not be returning to this place as it would have been a convenient place to go for Hawaiian food since it is so close to us but I will just drive to Fullerton for Matikis!

    Have wanted to try this place for awhile. Ordered the BBQ chicken with greens, rice and a side of macaroni salad with some spam musubi -- everything was very good and hot. Shares parking with the Stater Brothers shopping center, and plenty of seating. Service was lacking that aloha spirit, but the macaroni salad made up for it.

    Matiki Island BBQ on Lincoln in Anaheim is the kind of place that makes a family dinner feel easy…read more We went for the island BBQ plate energy, and it delivered. The beef ribs were really good, big and properly cooked, the kind of meat you actually talk about on the way home. The galbi was right there with them, savory and satisfying, and between the two we were set. The kids loved the spam musubi. That alone would have made the stop worth it for us. Spam musubi is one of those things that either works for kids or turns into a negotiation, and here there was no negotiation. They were happy, which meant the adults got to eat in peace for a minute. Dessert sealed it. They have a version of Dole Whip that tastes just like Disneyland. I am not being cute about that. Same soft, cold, pineapple hit you remember from the park, which is a wild thing to get after a plate of ribs in Anaheim. We finished full and already half-planning the next visit. One caveat: it was really smoky inside. Enough that I noticed it the whole meal. If I could give 4.5 I would, but I'm rounding up because the food was that good. Portions felt solid for a plate-lunch place, the vibe was casual and family-friendly, and nothing about the meal felt fussy. If you want Hawaiian-style BBQ with kids in tow, this is still an easy yes. Five stars.

    We visited Honu Hawaiian BBQ around 7:40 pm on a weekend. There's parking throughout the plaza, but…read moreit was packed when we arrived and we had to drive around a little before finding an open spot. This is a small food-court-style spot. You order at the counter, and if you walk farther inside, there's a shared seating area with tables for the different restaurants in the plaza. We found a spot to sit while we waited, and they gave us a buzzer to let us know when our food was ready. It took less than 10 minutes, so it was a super quick and easy meal. I ordered the Garlic Butter Shrimp Plate with a side of Chicken Katsu and it was SO good. The shrimp was incredibly crispy and packed with garlic butter flavor. The katsu and macaroni salad were great as well. It was simple, but everything about it hit the spot. Overall, I really enjoyed Honu Hawaiian BBQ. The food came out quickly, the plate was delicious, and it was such an easy casual meal. I'll definitely be back!

    Very disappointed of the change. Honu used to be one of our go-to places in Rowland Heights. We've…read morebeen plenty of times and we'd get the short ribs and the teriyaki chicken or beef ribs depending on what I'm craving. Onto our food -- the chicken was lacking flavor, I'd rather go to Ono Hawaiian BBQ which has way more flavor. The salad changed from shredded cabbage to mixed greens. The beef short ribs are much thinner and no longer pre-cut. The teriyaki sauce is worse too - thick sauce, vinegar/sour flavor -- not sure if it's gone bad but definitely not the thin teriyaki flavor sauce they used to have. I cannot comment on the beef ribs as we did not order it but it seems everything went downhill and I would not recommend this place anymore. The clerk that assisted us was nice and friendly so +1 star.
