This place is really solid. good quality meat. Rice was cooked perfectly. Very flavorful katsu and perfect crisp. Portion size was just right not too much and not too little. What stood out to me is their katsu sauce tasted really good honestly it was perfect. Great experience will definitely be back. read more

I had to cancel a ~$300 catering order that I placed online in early February due to a death in the family. I called a week ahead of when it was supposed to be picked up to cancel and was told I would get a refund. It is nearly April and I still haven't received a refund. I have called the Big Bros and left a message and my number at least 6 times with no response from anyone or the owner regarding a refund. Employees are always kind when they answer the phone and I explain the situation but they can't help me as this has to go through the owner according to them. I also asked for an email to get in touch with the owner and they were not able to provide me with one. read more

Food 4.5/5: Ordered the rib eye loco moco and Hawaiian pork plate. The gravy on the loco moco is outstanding, but the meat was a little tough (especially if you end up with leftovers and try to reheat them). The pork is incredible though, when I come back that is something I will reorder. Service 5/5: Quick and friendly service! Price $$: A little pricey for the portion sizes, but overall good quality food. read more

It was really yummy! Only thing that was missing was something fresh. I will admit though, that was my mistake for getting rice and macaroni rather than a side of salad. My friend got beef and he said he didn't like it as much as the chicken, it was too "bland". I thought the chicken was yummy too! Service was great. Young man working there was very attentive and offered additional sauces after bringing our plate to the table. I would definitely come again, just share a plate with someone instead. Also!! I didn't realize until my friend was eating my leftovers that there is cabbage under the chicken Don't forget to eat yours!! read more

Big Bros Hawaiian Grill - Chicken Hawaiian BBQ with Macaroni Salad and Rice - Hawaiian Near Me - La Mirada, California

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! read more

Big Bros Hawaiian Grill - Undercooked ribs - Hawaiian Near Me - La Mirada, California

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. read more

Big Bros Hawaiian Grill - Island Beef Ribs and Chicken Hawaiian BBQ - Hawaiian Near Me - La Mirada, California

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

I was on the way home and was craving Hawaiian barbecue so went on Yelp and found this one that was on the way home. Didn't know what to expect, but I'm glad I stopped by. The Galbi was delicious and tender and the chicken teriyaki was solid. The mac salad was decent and overall I would be coming back here to do takeout. So much better than the chain Hawaiian BBQ restaurants. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Came here for lunch today. The staff member greeted me with a smile and took my order. My food came out and it was delicious. Good portion size and cooked just right. Parking at the location is easy and the music playing in the background was good and upbeat. I took my order to go but could have easily sat there comfortably and eat my food. I will definitely be back! read more

Big Bros Hawaiian Grill serves up some of the most flavorful and well-balanced plate lunches around, where every bite feels like the real deal. The food is delicious without being overdone, the proteins are seasoned just right, the rice and mac salad round everything out perfectly, and nothing on the plate feels like an afterthought. On top of the great food, the portions are generous and the prices are reasonable, making it easy to leave satisfied. The staff is friendly and welcoming, we will recommend it to others. read more

Food - rib plate was good. Decent flavors of sweet salty and beefy . Super tender and almost falling off the bone. Rice was cooked just right, but mac was nothing to write home to. The bad - the basic beef bowl was good in flavor , but such a rough piece of meat. Super chewy and almost unedible. We did not.want to waste.food and just ate it. Luckily i had enough beef ribs to share. With a tough piece of meat, all you have to do is tenderize or slice it super thin like they do at yoshinoya. Also, crappy condiments like lackluster hot sauce really brings down the meal. I would go back, but bring my own hot sauce for sure. Service- decent, but could prioritize better with the dine in versus the take out. Restroom - didnt use this time Parking - enough parking during non prime time , but maybe crowed at lunch or dinner. Cleanliness- decent Price- fair for the amount of food you get. read more

Big Bros Hawaiian Grill - Ribs - Hawaiian Near Me - La Mirada, California

Pay either at counter or pay at the self tap kiosk. Kalbi Beef BBQ with Mac and Greens: Great portion and value. They provided a big scoop of mac and cheese with bits of shredded carrot. Most people take to go, but if you dine in they have water and coffee you can pour it yourself. Kalbi beef was a bit overcooked, I wished it was a bit soft and tender but marination was great. Greens: There's another layer of salad underneath the Kalbi. Dine in/take out, everything is packaged in a tray to go. read more

I love this place, look at their hefty portions! The food is just the most delicious Hawaiian plates. I've eaten here both in restaurant and for take out, and both experiences have gone well. The staff is nice and helpful, it's never too crowded, and the dining area is comfortable. Again, most of all, the food is delicious, and at a reasonable price point. Looking forward to exploring more of the menu! read more

Catered a family member's Babyshower. Ordered a party tray of beef teriyaki and chicken Katsu a week ahead of time. Went to the restaurant on the day of for pick up. I was told if we can wait a little longer, the worker at that time stated the party tray did not look full and she did not feel comfortable giving us the tray we had already paid for. She accommodated the quantity out of her satisfaction. Took the party tray to the function to feast! Everyone that took a bite responded with excellence! The guest stated that this Hawaiian food was delicious! That really made my day. Serving good quality food at a party. Out of all of this, I would definitely come back to feast at this location. Everything was made fresh. Rice, macaroni and Meats. I really liked the integrity of this restaurant taking accountability of the party trays being delivered. Much respect to the workers. There is plenty of parking and the establishment is clean. Restrooms available in the back to use. Free water and good service! Two thumbs up to this Big Bros Hawaiian restaurant. Excellent to host large parties. read more

I catered from this place two weeks ago and they made the whole process easy. They got my order correct, were able to add on some half trays a couple of hours before I showed up, and were very friendly. I ordered for about 60 people and they were spot on with the recommended amount of food I would need. I ordered whole trays of white rice, macroni salad, kolgi beef ribs, and hawaiiain bbq chicken. To play it safe, I ended up ordering half trays of chicken katsu and the other meats I previously mentioned, but honestly was good with the original order. The food was delicious and all of my guests kept asking where I ordered from. I know I referred some future customera their way and I would definitely cater from them again or order food as a single meal. read more

Family catered a tray of bbq chicken and two trays of island beef ribs for a party. The beef ribs are falls off the bone tender. Ribs are too sweet for my taste. It felt like I'm eating candy beef ribs. Probably good with plain rice to balance off the sweetness. Bbq chicken is flavorful and tender and it was delicious. If I'm in town, will def try their other food on the menu. read more

We were on the hunt for some good Hawaiian food in our area while we were out and about and came across Big Bros Hawaiian Grill. We'd been to the bubble tea shop a few doors down, but never noticed this gem tucked away, granted it has been a while since we've been there. The restaurant shares the parking lot with a bunch of other shops and restaurants, so there is plenty of parking, but be very wary of inattentive people driving through. The restaurant itself is very easy to overlook because of the layout, the entrance is along the side of another restaurant, so if you weren't looking for it, you might not even realize it's there. Inside is very clean and simple. The decor just looks good...everything fits on that wall. The counter area is a little more messy, but not dirty. You really interact with it when you pick up your food, refill your water cup (jug water dispenser), or pour some of their damn good special house sauce, which is a very viscuous, sweet teriyaki flavor. Its very hot and dispenses from one of those industrial hot water/coffee dispensers. Ordering and paying for your food is handled at the kiosk, just make sure you read the little note card to understand the sides. The pricing of the food isnt too bad, most dishes being $10-20. We opted for their Hawaiian BBQ Chicken and their Hawaiian Pork BBQ, as my wife was craving something teriyaki. I mean geez, these plates are loaded...and they're the to-go plates. Normally other places skimp...but these were heavy. The chicken had good flavor, and complimented well with the sauce. My wife thought there was too much mayo, but i thought it was just right. The pork bbq though.....very, very juicy, not dry or oily like a lot of other places. Let ot soak up the special house sauce.....mouthgasm. We definitely want to head back to try their island beef ribs and kalbi beef bbq first...then the rest of the food. Ono food, yeah? While we were there, I believe it was the owner who came out and had a little small talk with us. It says a lot when it's not just a business interaction with the customers. I'll be back! read more

I always pass by this spot on the way to work and finally was able to give it a try since I was craving Hawaiian food! To my dismay, the flavor wasn't there. The BBQ chicken had a smokiness to it but no flavor at all, lacking in any sweet or salt from the marinade or lack thereof sauce. The chicken katsu was seasoned enough but it was a little soggy even though I ate it fresh. I usually get most, if not all, Mac salad but I was so disappointed since it was all bland and it wasn't creamy either. Maybe it was the plates that I ordered or the time that I went but I unfortunately did not enjoy my meal here even though I really enjoy Hawaiian food. read more

The beef (both kalbi and ribs) were scrumptious. Macaroni salad is great. The portions are large. Perfect for take out dinner.

The food was ok. We ordered two teriyaki bowls. The sauce was overly sweet. Not Hawaiian style, more Filipino style. The more disappointing thing is they told me they don't accept cash but then the guy after me paid cash. Didn't want to make a scene so will not be coming back. read more

I was in brea for my husband's dr appointment we were looking for good Hawaiian food and stumbled across this gem wait times vary but as they say good food takes time i had the ribs huge portion tender very flavorful my husband had the pork Katsu crispy and flavorful as well i will be going back prices are reasonable as well read more

I think I was the first customer of the day. The guy taking the order had a hard time, he clearly needs more training. As I was waiting for my order, he had to come over and ask me again what my order was. After 15 minutes they finally brought out the chicken plate I ordered and it was not good, the chicken was lukewarm and had no seasoning. It tasted very bland, had no flavor and had no sauce. When I asked for teriyaki sauce the lady pointed to a big coffee container and said it's there. I filled a small cup and asked if this was right because it looked like dirty water. It also tasted like water, no flavor whatsoever. Very disappointing, I will not return ! read more

I ordered 3 small trays of food for dinner at home, and everything was ready right on time when we arrived. The food tasted fresh and amazing! My cousins visiting from Canada absolutely loved it, especially the macaroni. The portions were very generous, and both the chicken and Angus beef were incredibly good. We'll definitely be ordering again! read more

Service was great, but the food was lackluster. We got the Island Ribs Plate. Meat: The quality of the meat was not there. It was also a bit dry. Seasoning was on the saltier side. It needed some sweetness to balance it out. It didn't have that slightly sticky glaze, if you are into that. Mac Salad: The Hawaiian mac salad was not flavorful at all. It didn't seem like the traditional Hawaiian mac salad. It had little "specks" of carrot in there, which I found odd. It also tasted quite buttery and heavy, with not much else to even it out. Spam Musubi: It was 95% rice with a very thin slice of spam. The rice did not look appetizing; it was slightly brown from seasonings, but for some reason, it had no flavor. Unfortunately, this was a miss for us. read more

Tried the Hawaiian bbq chicken plate and it was really good. Nice and tender pieces of chicken and pretty good flavor. The macaroni salad was also pretty good and the portion size was plenty of food for a decent price. As others alluded to, they don't accept cash, which is kind of weird. Service was friendly and food came out pretty quickly. They have some stuff I haven't seen at other Hawaiian places like Loco moco and angus beef, so I'd like to come back and try some other stuff on the menu. read more

We were attending a nearby conference and decided to grab lunch in the area--and we're so glad we found this spot! We arrived just before the lunch rush, so it was quiet when we got there but packed by the time we left. You can place your order either at the kiosk or with the cashier, which made the process super easy. Everything we tried was delicious, and the food came out surprisingly fast. The space is on the smaller side with limited seating, so it's a good idea to plan your visit accordingly. Also, note that the restrooms are located on the side of the building. read more

Second time eating at this spot! Ordered takeout through their website. We ordered the rib eye, loco moco, 2 orders of Masubi , 2 orders of macaroni, and the teriyaki chicken. Everything was super flavorful! Much than the franchised Hawaiian bbq competition. read more

I came in because I wanted to give this small business a shot. There were a few things to note. First is the broken glass pane. It's a bummer to see a small business subjected to vandalism. With that, I do hope for the best for this business owner. Second, the service was very friendly and informative. The only thing I found weird was I got my food before the guy who ordered before me. Idk if it was just because I ordered in and he ordered take out but I found it peculiar. Moving on. I sat down and got my food within a matter of minutes. The interior was quiet and clean. The spam musubi was delicious. Doesn't look perfect but that just tells me they are made in house. The beef rib plate was good but too sweet for me personally. I'd probably try the loco moco next time. I did appreciate that the Mac salad wasn't just lathered with Mayo. Food was overall good for the price. I'm looking forward to coming back. read more

Got here 30 mins before closing but, staff was still super friendly and accommodating. I got the galbi with rice and Mac salad. I do wish the galbi was a little less fatty and more meaty but the flavor was great. The Mac salad is also super tasty and creamy. There are lots of tables to sit at and the restaurant is clean. Overall, I'd recommend! read more

Super generous with the amount of protein. The katsu was crispy and the teriyaki chicken was perfectly charred. They both came with their respective sauce and had great flavor. My only complaint would be the lack of flavor in the mac salad, but I'm not a big fan of that anyway. Would probably get the steamed veggies next time! read more

Big Bros Hawaiian Grill - katsu, teriyaki chicken - Hawaiian Near Me - La Mirada, California

Food and service here is great. Have to give three stars because I've never experienced such disgraceful teriyaki sauce. Please stop watering down teriyaki! I've experienced this with multiple HBBQ restaurants and it is an instant indication of poor quality. If it's too expensive to give customers for free, just charge for it! I'd rather pay for sauce than have my meal ruined and my intelligence insulted by a despicable excuse for real teriyaki. I apologize for the teriyaki tangent but this madness has got to stop! Like I said, the food here is good, both the loco moco plates are super tasty, the pork and chicken bbq plates are delicious, everything great until you use the brown water mess that is definitely not teriyaki sauce. read more

Love the food here I have tried to dishes and both have not disappointed ( their spam musubi are also fire). The staff is always friendly and helpful! read more
