Awesome portions. Great prices. Delicious food. Efficient service. I've seen cuter interiors at other Hawaiian spots but I'm there for the food and not the ambiance LOL. I ordered the Loco Moco. The hamburger patty was well seasoned and was cooked well done. Eggs were over easy and gravy was served on the side. I would definitely order again BUT with extra gravy. Like gravy all over. The Mac salad was ok. Kinda heavy on the onion flavor for my liking though. I also ordered the spam musubi. The rice to spam ratio was good. I thought the sauce was ok. I was expecting it to be a little sweeter and less gingery. Maybe next time I'll ask for it with no sauce. read more

I came to the plaza here the other day originally wanting tacos but I saw big island bbq and definitely decided to get Hawaiian bbq instead. I would say the food is delicious and portioned generously, even for to-go orders. I got the katsu mini plate. The macaroni salad that came with it was really good and the katsu was very crunchy. Unfortunately it does not come with veggies, so I had to ask for it as a side and paid extra. It was pretty busy for dinner time. The cashier that took my order was really nice and when my food was ready, she brought it right to me. I could tell that there were some regulars too as she was talking to some customers as if she knew them. The inside was clean and there is enough seating for eating in but I decided to take my food to-go. Overall, this place I would come back to eat Hawaiian bqq any day. read more

Food was very yummy. The curry sauce and katsu paired well together. For the price, there was a lot of a katsu which is always a good thing. The Mac salad was also good but not amazing. Staff was also very nice and talkative. As for the restaurant itself, the interior is basic but the food does the heavy lifting. Would recommend this Hawaiian bbq spot if you're nearby. read more

A family-owned Hawaiian BBQ Restaurant in Ontario offering traditional Hawaiian BBQ food, such as Loco Moco, Spam and eggs, Kalua Pork, Hawaiian BBQ short ribs and so much more. Last Monday, we came here for brunch. This is a small restaurant with simple décor and limited seating. We ordered Crispy Shrimp Mini Meal and BBQ Chicken Mini Meal. Although everything is freshly made to order, the service was fast and we received our food within 10 minutes. The food was so good! Both the Crispy Shrimp and BBQ Chicken were fresh and really well made. We enjoyed our food very much. For a quick lunch, a busy-day meal, or a relaxed dinner with friends at a reasonable price, Big Island BBQ is a great choice. read more

I am a big fan of this mom and pop hidden around the gas station place. They give pretty generous portions and their food is cooked well. Chicken isnt dry and their bbq has pretty good flavor. Colored me impressed. The folks in the front seem very professional and they are pretty efficient. I would make this a regular stop. read more

Lots of construction/ office workers so it was pretty busy. I got the two meat combo ($15.95) with chicken katsu and bbq chicken which came with a side of white rice and macaroni salad. I also got a side of spam musubi ($6.25). The wait time was not long and they had a good amount of seating. The portions were a good size and the katsu was crispy and not too thin. The bbq chicken was moist and not too salty. The macaroni salad was not too heavy on the mayo. The spam musubi was fine, not heavy on the rice and the spam was thickly sliced. They have a stamp card. Parking lot can get filled quickly. read more

Loco Moco is good for mainland action. Meat is typical burger meat but sort of the quarter pound size so generous in consideration.

We frequent the Del Taco in the same plaza and stumbled upon this place! I love Hawaiian BBQ and always like to try different spots. Everything was good! We ordered the BBQ Chicken and Beef - comes with veggies, rice and mac salad. Definitely look forward to returning to try the mochiko chicken and musubi. read more

Big Island BBQ - I already started eating it : P - Hawaiian Near Me - Ontario, California

Really good food. Fast and friendly service. Nice place could get busy during lunch but never a long wait.

I've been coming to Big Island BBQ for over six months now, and it's become my go-to spot during the work week. I work 5 days a week and find myself eating here at least 3 times a week! My absolute favorites are the Teriyaki Chicken and the Combo Fried Rice. The food is consistently delicious and reliable. If you want a solid meal that never disappoints, this is it. read more

Drove out of my way to try this place because they had better reviews than Ono, but never again. Worst loco moco I've ever had. The patties tasted like they were not only frozen, but maybe not stored properly & freezer burned? My mom said they tasted like dog food. Bummer, was hoping it was better. Won't be going back there again. read more

Big Island BBQ - Pretty Bad Loco Moco - Hawaiian Near Me - Ontario, California

Great place to satisfy your Hawaiian BBQ cravings! The food was delicious and the service was friendly as well. I got the BBQ mix combo and pretty much inhaled it. The portion is huge enough for two people to share or give yourself 2-3 meals. The BBQ chicken was juicy, the beef was well cooked and the ribs were just fantastic. I'm used to some places giving me the meat a bit burnt, but luckily this place knows when it's cooked to perfection. Even while we were eating, you can hear some regulars come in and chat with the workers like they're friends, so you can tell this place is very welcoming and it's a great place to come back for more. read more

I couldn't remember what it was about this place that I didn't like until I ordered a side of mac salad to go with my mini bbq beef plate...then it hit me, the MAC SALAD SUCKS here!! Nothing Island about it, to be honest, I'd prefer Ono's mac salad over this and I don't even like Ono's like that. Had to leave a review, so if we ever go back for lunch, I'll remember not to waste my money on a side of mac salad. I did order the chicken lumpias too and those were good, it's missing a little crunch, but it is what it is. read more

Big Island BBQ - Front - Hawaiian Near Me - Ontario, California

Best Hawaiian type food I've found. Other places such as L&L quality is terrible in comparison, Freshly made and delicious

Soft grand opening for this place seems to be going well! I ordered the grilled chicken plate with a side of teriyaki! The portion was huge! Two scoops of rice, 1 scoop of Mac , veggies, and plenty of chicken. I had a lot of questions and the cashier answered every single one very kindly and helped me with the expansive menu! As I was ordering, about 4-5 walked in behind me to order. It was nice to hear chill music and see a very clean location! Will be trying it again! read more

Food was pretty standard, nothing too wowing. Katsu was nice and crispy. Bbq beef was thinly sliced - slightly dry, but it's still pretty good when it's dipped in the sauce. The Mac salad could use a little bit more flavor in my opinion, but it's not bad. We were there to dine-in between lunch and dinner times so there wasn't a lot of people. It was mostly people coming in to pick up instead of dining in. Aside from my husband and I, there wasn't anyone else dining in, so it was pretty quiet. read more

Katsu Chicken, BBQ Beef, & Kalua Pork, were the choices we made from the many protein choices offered; Next time I'm getting the Crispy White Fish, Grilled Chicken Breast, & Hawaiian BBQ Beef Short Ribs. The Hawaiian Macaroni delightful salad was mouth watering & not mushy. Steamed Rice was delicious and not plastic tasting or looking. I ordered to go, that's why you see no pictures of food. Let me tell you, if you're a fan of Hawaiian foods then you won't be disappointed. The portions are appropriate for any Hawaiian, like myself lol! I made sure the cook & hostess/cashier know that it was our first time trying out their Menu, and he was quick to inform us of all the Specials and Catering and described the Combo Meals, like what's included or Not, but if you want it you can order from the Sides Menu. I ordered Tempura Shrimp and can't wait to go back to Try their Hawaiian Egg Rolls. After visiting The Ontario Mills Mall, eat here you will save some money and the restaurant is clean & chill. Parking is Free. read more

Good food, nice portion. Service was friendly and fast. Place was clean. Unfortunately I was too hungry to take any pictures. I had the beef spare ribs and had malasadas to take home. read more

I would never eat here again ordered because it was conveniently to where we were working. returned the food gross. Their employee was courteous, but unfortunately, the food quality lacked presentation flavor and amount being served. Disgusting plate. Didn't even take a picture before returning after taking one taste of the beef oily mess. read more

If you're craving authentic Hawaiian BBQ, look no further! This family-owned gem is a hidden treasure that consistently delivers delicious, high-quality meals at a great price, especially when compared to other spots like Ono and L&L that have raised prices and lowered quality. I've been here multiple times, and each visit has been a total win. The BBQ mix combo is perfect for sharing, with generous portions of juicy BBQ chicken, tender beef, and perfectly cooked short ribs. The mac salad and greens are a standout, full of flavor without being overly heavy. I love how everything is cooked to perfection -- no burnt meat here! The Katsu Chicken, BBQ Beef, and Kalua Pork are all fantastic options. The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming most of the time. (the night staff can be your typical DGAF employees that far too many owners have to deal with) It a perfect spot to relax and enjoy some amazing Hawaiian food. read more

Found a great little local style restaurant in Ontario, a great alternative to L&L or Ono Hawaiian! The way the businesses are set up, you might not see them right away... but just head to da left of the da Chevron, they next to Starbucks. Between my dad and I, we had the crispy shrimp, kalbi (short rib), kalua pork and BBQ chicken combos, and everything was good. Plenty of rice, the shrimp was fried just right (most places the shrimp can get really chewy or tough when biting into). The kalbi was tender enough to slice up with a plastic knife where some places you have to do that "sawing action" and risk slicing into the foam container! The kalua was moist and not overly smoky or salty, just the way I like em! And of course, can't go wrong with the BBQ chicken, flavorful and moist, marinated just right where not too sweet or all dat. They serve plenty of rice, and the Mac salad was decent for takeout (I'm tough on Mac salads cuz I make em perfect at home ). Service was awesome, friendly staff and wasn't too busy when I went... I hope this changes and they get more folks dining with em! All said, I'll definitely be going back again to satisfy instant local flava cravings... if you live or work close by, they're totally worth a try. Checkum out and get your grinds on! read more

Big Island BBQ - Combo plate - Hawaiian Near Me - Ontario, California

It's a nice spot for something quick, healthy and yummy. Worth the price too (not inexpensive) and the service is nice, kinda awkward (would've been nice to be greeted with a "Hello, Welcome, take your time and let us know when you're ready" or maybe a quick suggestion of what to get for New Timers! Restrooms are clean. However, they need to start either taking their time when they cook the food or something because every time I come the meat seems like it was cooked too fast, sometimes rubbery and One time, my shrimp had too much "butter". Take your time guys and I promise, this would be a 5 FOR ME! read more

Big Island BBQ - Spicy Garlic Shrimp - Hawaiian Near Me - Ontario, California

The service was good. The food was decent for mainland Hawaiian food. My BBQ meat lacked the charcoal cooking taste. Would I return, yes.

Review is on the service. I went in and ask for the Fire Chicken but add steak to my order . The cashier said that's not an option I have to order what's on the menu , I asked him if he can just charge me more to make the Fire Chicken with the steak he declined to take my order because of the steak request . He said he will only ring up what's on the menu . read more

Terrible service and a complete lack of hospitality. As a culinary major studying hospitality, it's shocking that an establishment like this is still operating. The employees had very poor attitudes, and the overall customer service was unacceptable. When I went to place my order, the manager herself was taking it. Her card machine took my payment, and instead of calmly resolving the issue, she raised her voice at me. This was an extremely uncomfortable and unprofessional experience, and I left very disappointed. read more

Everything's great only problem is they don't wear any gloves kind of freaking me out

Came here for their first day of soft opening. The food is amazing. I got the BBQ chicken which is the best seller here. Chicken is rich flavor and portion is large!I will definitely come back to try more dishes. read more

My big back tried the garlic shrimp, chow mein, chicken katsu, and bbq beef.

I'm conclusion, my parents should let me be a competitive eater fr read more

Always good food , have been going there for years good prices and friendly people and good service

I've been coming here for a few months getting the same meal every time. They have a stamp card they stamp every time I come. The employee tells me today that he can't stamp the card because it's for the mini meal, but I've never bought a mini meal. I told him they must have grabbed the wrong card. He didn't care. If they don't want to fix their mistake I just take my business elsewhere where. read more

Great service great ambience and great great great food . I especially like this series is so good.
