    Loco moco
    Sam C.

    I had a craving for loco moco so I decided to try this place. Pretty good and pretty good value. I'm admittedly not an expert in loco moco, but I thought this one was pretty good. I liked the various options you have such as hamburger, sausage, spam, or a combo. There's also a choice of white rice, brown rice, or noodles. I tried the combo. The portion was good and it definitely hit the spot. But to be a little picky, the hamburger was a bit overcooked and tough. Indeed, I think they used too lean a cut. But eggs were cooked perfectly. And I liked the option to add spam. Service was good and the place was pretty clean. I good choice.

    Solidly good food.

    I love Hawaiian food and of course, Filipino food, so my standards can be a bit high for this genre of food. Nevertheless, I love restaurants like this place just for existing and offering up this type of delicious food. This place is simple and an easy place to try out and enjoy Hawaiian food. I do recommend the Veggie Omelette. It has a simple, solid flavor with fresh veggies. If it's your first time, and you're a meat eater, I suggest you try the adobo rice omelette. Tasty. The Loco Moco is okay...I'm gonna be honest and say it's not the best we've had (taste, quality and portion/price) because we have our own go-to Hawaiian restaurant in South LA County that just exceeds everyone else, but c'mon, this place is good. If you're not an extremely picky eater, you're gonna enjoy it just fine. The service is okay--not exactly super friendly and welcoming, but I'm an introvert, it's not necessary for me as long as the service isn't super rude...which it isn't. Overall, it's an okay experience. Try them out for yourself.

    Spam Loco Moco
    Michelle T.

    Usually after running errands over the weekends, we try to find a new place for a bite to eat. We searched the Yelp app for a restaurant that had garlic shrimp, since that's what I was craving. That's when we found Da Luau Hawaiian Grill. Just south of Interstate 5 on Jeffrey Rd, you'll find a small shopping center. There is a row of 4-5 small eateries, but at the far end, you'll see Da Luau Hawaiian Grill. The inside of the restaurant is small, but could easily accommodate 30 people at shared tables. It's very clean inside and has seating at tables or bench seats along the wall. The menu consists of various Hawaiian-inspired dishes. I personally was craving garlic shrimp. I asked for garlic rice as well, but asked them to hold the onions. My husband had a spam and eggs meal. We also couldn't forget to add shaved ice to our order because we wanted something sweet and refreshing for dessert. The shrimp was delicious and did not have an overpowering fishy flavor. The garlic sauce was slightly sweet, which was quite refreshing. I was expecting something with more of a garlicky flavor, but this had hints of other spices combined for a unique flavor. I really enjoyed my meal! I'm glad that I came here with an open mine. I noticed that many of the reviews for Da Luau Hawaiian Grill were mixed. However, I personally enjoyed my meal and would definitely come back again in the near future.

    Check for 2 breakfasts

    Had breakfast with my girlfriend's meetup group before playing pickle ball. Lots of traditional Hawaiian offerings like Loco moco, spam musabi, and poke amongst other offerings. Food was tasty, we all cleaned our plates. Nice little restaurant. Plenty of parking in the shopping center Ordered and paid at the counter and our food was brought out to us when it was ready. Id be happy to come back and eat here again

    Garlic shrimp with double order of garlic fried rice
    Enrico A.

    I can't believe I've been going here for over 10yrs and this is the first time I tried the garlic shrimp and it's to die for. If you like garlic and shrimp this is definitely the dish for you, it's really delicious. Below is a picture of it and I ordered it with double garlic fried rice.

    Build Your Platter Meal Chicken Katsu & BBQ Beef
    William M.

    We used to come here a lot for breakfast and brunch. The food and service was good. I was in the plaza and saw them and wanted to try them out for dinner. I got the 2 item plate - with chicken Katsu and the bbq beef. My sides were white rice and the "Asian coleslaw" & got 2 spam musubi's for breakfast the next day. My order was ready really quick. Which isn't always a good thing. It tells me, that the proteins are pre-cooked and are warmed up upon ordering, thats my guess. Got home and was kinda disappointed seeing what I got. The chicken in the katsu has been pounded to the same thinness of a penny. The beef, is fatty w/ tendons and tough (likely due to the re-cook). Most of the beef was not edible. I just ate what I could and had the spam musubi. The coleslaw was bone dry and had cilantro (I don't do cilantro) so I tossed that completely in the trash. I was thinking more traditional coleslaw. There's a lot of competition for Hawaiian food in Irvine, Da Luau wont make the cut for me (as far as dinner is concerned).

    50/50 plate of Meat Jun, Island Style Fried Chicken and double Mac.
    Lance N.

    It has been a while since I've been to Da Luau, but I'll start with it would have been better if I ate there. By the time I got home, the Meat Jun was a bit soggy. Although the flavor was still good the texture was not. The island style chicken was good and the Mac as well. I also picked up a side of BBQ chicken which was nicely done. The young man behind the counter was pleasant to work with and he even brought my order out to me. So I do appreciate the service. As for ambiance I didn't stay to eat there, but it was quiet inside and not a lot of people. It seemed like a number of people were just picking up. Definitely will go back again, as it was one of the better Hawaiian grills in the area. Enjoy

    Quick & easy spot to stop in and grab a loco moco, or a plate lunch during your break. Ambiance & Aesthetic: 7/10 The aesthetic is a lot of woods with natural lighting and Hawaiian themed aspects. The ambiance was quiet with lots of seating. Service: 8.5/10 staff was friendly and brought my food to me. Meat Jun: 6.5/10 the meat wasn't very flavorful, might've needed to marinate longer, but the egg on the outside was fried great and the white rice was perfect.

    Came here with my BF and some friends. We decided to eat a little something before playing pickleball to give everyone a chance to meet one another. I decided to order one of my go-tos which is a Loco Moco with an over easy egg. Solid choice. It had great taste, the patty was flavorful and moist, eggs were made perfectly and the rice and brown gravy was awesome - definitely some great comfort food. Would highly recemmend and come again.

    Breakfast burrito and combo plate

Easy parking quick and delicious!

    I woke up craving an adobo omelette like I had in Vegas a long time ago. Thanks to Yelp, I found a place that had exactly what I was looking for and then some. The adobo omelette was so delicious and satisfied my craving. The mac nut french toast was great too! I'll definitely be back to get more comfort food.

    Their BBQ beef bowl is terrible. Meat is very chewy. It was too dry to swallow, so I ended up throwing it away.

The place was buzzin on Saturday afternoon which I immediately took as a good sign. It was an extremely hot day (cue Cali heat wave) and standing inside the restaurant didn't help. No AC and hot open kitchen made for a sweaty time. Ordered an Ai Pono Poke bowl and Roots plate to-go. Our total was $38 between the two items. Got home in about 25 mins and immediately dug in. For a $16 poke bowl, I guess I was expecting a bit more fish. Also, the rice had a sour ish taste (according to me). The Roots plate quantity was solid but the short rib was very chewy. Definitely a preference thing but chewy short rib is not my jam. The flavors were good though. There wasn't much of a service aspect to our experience cause we took our meal to go. Unfortunately was a bit disappointed as the food didn't hit the mark but very open to trying again in the future.

This place is located in the same center as McDonald's, El Pollo Loco, and Jam Jam Tea Lab. I ordered a SMALL poke bowl with two scoops of protein: SALMON and SCALLOPS for $14.50, and added avocado for $1. All toppings are FREE so pack it on to your heart's content. The prices are pretty reasonable and they give you A LOT of food. This was about the same amount of food as a 3-scoop protein bowl at my favorite poke spot. Service was okay, but when I asked the cashier to explain the sauces to me, she just kind of assumed I understood how it worked. She asked me if I wanted "poke sauce," but did not tell me what was in it. Then she asked me if I wanted sesame oil and I said, "Ok." I asked for light spicy mayo, sesame oil, and poke sauce, and she drizzled it all over the bowl... Anyhow, I expected the bowl to be super salty, but somehow it wasn't even though she had put a lot of sauce in there lol. Overall, the bowl lacked flavor and the sauce was not evenly distributed. The rice was good, the salmon was fresh. The scallops were meh. I didn't like that the toppings tasted like they came out of a can. I would not get the pineapple or "crab" (imitation crab) again. Also, the cucumbers were pickled, which caught me by surprise. Their fried onion was more crunchy than other places which I enjoyed. Unfortunately, although this place gives you a bang for your buck, it left me unfulfilled. I think of they marinated their fish and sauces together rather than drizzling it on the bowl, it would be better. I will not be coming back. They have a few cute wooden tables inside so you can eat with a few of your friends or dine in by yourself. Better luck next time!

The plates come with salad and rice but you can pay extra for macaroni. I wish macaroni was not extra or not as much extra. Although if I am getting the deal, I don't mind paying a bit extra on 2 since 1 will be free but it would be nice if it was a smaller charge or included as a side option for plates. I also highly recommend grabbing extra sauce from the back - the chicken plates can be a bit dry and if you like it with a good amount of sauce, you will want extra on top of what is already provided. For me, a lot of extra sauce is needed to cover the rice and chicken and give it some actual noticeable teriyaki flavor. Overall this is a good establishment with a wide choice of meats to grill for yourself at home (if you're into that) and the staff has always been friendly! I will be back for another happy hour deal soon!
