We are in town for a dance competition and needed some dinner. I think I remember seeing a tik tok video about this place so we gave it a try. They have a decent size menu with lots of options. The prices feel a little steep and the wait for the food is a little lengthy but it is totally worth it. The food is fresh, hot and absolutely DELICIOUS!!! Service is great as well! What a gem. We live 45 minutes away but I would travel just to eat here! Yum! read more

Delicious and a gem of a find. Ambiance: Strip mall parking, plenty of seating on the inside, no frills ordering at the front. Service: Friendly and easy! Food: Got a combo with the pork adobo, katsu, mac salad, pancit, and a side of two lumpias. The portion was more than enough for two people and everything was delicious!! Overall, great find if you're looking for some authentic Hawaiian and Filipino food! read more

Dakine Grindz Restaurant - 1 1 Huli Kabob - Filipino Near Me - Sunset, Utah

Looking for a place to eat and decided to try this spot based on its reviews and it did not disappoint! I've eaten a lot of Polynesian food and this is one of the best! Would definitely go out of my way to eat here again since it is not close to where I live. The hurricane chicken is a must and the pancit noodles were awesome! read more

I don't often give 5 stars, but I will this time, because it was FILLING! It's been impossible to go anywhere and have that satisfying full feeling I used to have and I'm not a large person, it's easy to fill me up! Everything is priced to perfection. The portions are even more perfect. If it seems a little sketch in the parking lot, it's bc you're on Sunset and that's how it is. Haha my husband had a hard time believing the ratings on this place but we are now hooked! We got a little bit of everything. Let me just say ANYTHING you get here, will taste amazing! The only suggestion I have is to be a bit more generous with the rice. Rice is such a filling side dish and it's CHEAP, customers will feel much more full with a bit more as well. I dunno I'm Mexican and I think rice is a must to indulge in if you wanna fill up. They were getting their food truck ready when we went in so it took a while, but def worth the wait. read more

Dakine Grindz has such great reviews on Yelp I had to give it a try, and it did not disappoint. First it is counter service but the people working there were so nice. They offered to let us try the noodles and a couple of the other items before we ordered. So friendly. We both ordered the two meat plate. With the lumpia (spring rolls) 5/5 two piece add on. Really good! My meal included the huli huli chicken kabob spicy, 4/5 and I was surprised at how spicy it was. It was hot with good flavor. And my second meat I upgraded to the Kalbi Ribs 5/5, these had great flavor but not as much meat. My sides were the Mac salad 4/5 and adobe fried rice 4/5. Both really good with the Mac salad being a little sweeter. My wife ordered the kuli chicken kabob sweet 4/5 and I probably liked it better than the spicy. And the kalua pork 4/5 was her second meet. For sides she ordered the pansit noodles 4/5. We liked everything we ordered and want to go back to try a couple more things. We were really impressed with the amount of choices they offered. I can really see why they are rated so well. read more

Dakine Grindz is much more better-er than local chain Mo Bettahs! Kalua pork was seasoned far, far better --kicked butt!-- and the katsu pork was not overcooked, yet crisp and mo' better in flavor. The pancit noodles as option for a side was a great Filipino touch. And the rice was perfectly cooked-- one of those subtle details that really matters. A couple lowlights were gonna pull it down to three stars for me: The eggs on the Katsu Moco were dreadfully overcooked and the Loco Moco gravy weak. Still not a fan, in general, of Hawaiian-style mac salad-- this needed more carrot, scallion, and was a bit too KFC-coleslaw-ey sweet. But had to try their version out, and the pasta wasn't mushy--yay! Yet a surprisingly nice variety for a small restaurant menu with a number of daily specials, too. If it hadn't been a hot summertime Friday the Pinakbet soup-stew of sausage with eggplant, okra, snow peas, long beans, and more would've definitely roped us in with all of its colorful and nutritious vegetables. And colorful veg would've gone a long way for brightening the look of the overwhelming beige of our clamshells heaping with generous portions for the price. It was a friend's glowing review of D.Grindz as well that they have been donating portions of their sales to Maui relief that drew us in. And yet the absolutely open and friendly welcome of the wife-owner asking us about how we found them, and how we liked the food, won me over to the four- and five-star elements of our experience. We're looking forward to our next visit. Mahalo! read more

Hands down the friendliest staff!! They feed you like family!! I've grabbed more family style dinners here than I can count I haven't tried the entire menu because they make killa huli huli chicken and adobe. Today I had the pork sisig for my dinner and I'm in heaven. I took a bite just to test and now it won't make it till dinner. I love that they have 2 restaurants now (I've been to their grand opening at Ogden Ocean Mart in late January) plus their food truck - they do Hawaiian and Filipino food so good!! read more

This quick service restaurant is located in a strip mall with ample off street parking. Ordered the Hawaiian Plate which came with rice, mac salad and three entrees. Beware there is an up charge for some of the entrees. Huli Huli Chicken is very tasty and saucy and shouldn't be missed. Kalbi's flavor got a generous boost from the yummy housemade spicy teriyaki. Lechon was a little overcooked, but flavorful. The restaurant was decorated Hawaiian with ample seating for a this busy restaurant. Casual comfortable decor and friendly staff. read more

If you're looking for good Hawaiian cuisine, look no further, you found it! Dakine Grindz is my ultimate favorite go to. The food here is just breathtakingly beautiful and I've never been disappointed with anything I've tried. Chicken Katsu? Perfection. Spam Musubi? Orgasmic. Mac salad? Makes me want seconds and thirds! Everyone is so friendly and welcoming, and the place is so nice and peaceful to relax in as you wait for your food. I cannot recommend this place enough! read more

Tried this business had the spicy Huli-Huli chicken with double Pancit. This place is legit!! The chicken was sweet and spicy very tender and flavorful.

Food was ma-sarap they were super busy before closing time. I know things get hectic in a days work.

This was a great stop! The location a bit off the highway in a strip mall type setting isn't the fanciest, but that's usually a hint to us that the food is spectacular. We were correct! We got the three meat plate (comes with two sides) and a mini plate for our 4.5 year old. In order of favorite to still delicious: pork adobo, spicy chicken, pancit noodles, kalhua pork, lumpia. Our little guy got the BBQ chicken on a stick and white rice. Order anything listed and you're good to go-- the food was amazing all around. The ambiance was cute and clean. The food was definitely made to order but came out pretty quickly. We'd go again if we are in the neighborhood! read more

This place is home away from home! I was at the Budget car rental at SLC airport when this lady who was helping me with my car arrangements highly recommended this restaurant. She said it was Hawaiian and Filipino food- SOLD. I didn't make it that evening, but on my way back to California, before heading back to the airport, I decided to give them a try. Restaurant is located in a strip mall in Ogden, UT. I was very skeptical. A legit Filipino/ Hawaiian in Utah? We'll see. It's a small and cozy restaurant. You place your order at the counter and they call you once your food is ready. There are two ladies that take the orders and do the cooking. Service was friendly. I ordered lechon, lumpia, pancit, pork adobo, and adobo fried rice. I was HUNGRY! Everything was really good. The epitome of comfort food. I will make sure to stop by here again every time I'm in the area for work. Hoping I can make it on the days they offer Sisig and dinuguan. read more

Dakine Grindz Restaurant - Filipino Near Me - Sunset, Utah

Food just ok. Ive eaten at many Hawaiian style eateries before, once I got my food, it was just average. L & L is much better. My issue was with the poor service and the time it took to receive our food. My wife who is a Filipina and owns here own eatery in the Philippines was lived with what we experienced. The three workers there had no expedience to there work. I mean it took 20 minutes just sitting there before they even began cooking my chicken. I knew it was going to take awhile, when after 30 minutes, the three guys who had been seated and ordered before us, hadn't been served yet. When they were served, they only brought out two of the three orders, and no apologies or explanations to the third guy. Just wait and wait and wait. It became so long waiting I finally got up and asked how much longer it would take? Thinking I was some kind of dummy to the food world, they angrily explained that it was chicken and it took more time with the BBQ sauce. I explained, I know chicken on a stick, it takes 6 to 8 minutes once it reaches the cooker and that it had been well over 20 minutes since the order had been placed and paid for. After taking a sit back at my table, the three workers where overheard speaking in there language. My wife happens to speak the same language as the three workers and it was overheard throughout the restaurant them talking bad about me asking them about our order. My wife was pissed off to say the least. When the Supervisor came to the table with my wife's order, my wife confronted her about the Bakla cook and assistant worker. She made it know their language and behavior was completely unexceptable and down right disrespectful. Ill cut this short as it's becoming to long. The overall experience was poor. The food was average, with below average service. I consider this place to be in the Fast food type range, not fine dining. The key to faster food service is to get your food cooked and out to the customers ASAP, to hear anything about it's a first come first serve restaurant is not exceptable. Inside workers in the kitchen, do your job, work with some urgency and don't be using this time for your Chismas time. And again, please don't ever talk behind your customers backs, especially when they speak the same language as you. read more

This place is such a great hole-in-the-wall! From my understanding, Dakine Grindz Restaurant started as a food truck or maybe it's the other way around where they started as a restaurant, but either way, the food was SO good. Getting to the location was easy and there was plenty of parking in the plaza. Once we entered on the right side there is the menu on the screen and on the side. The way it works is you order the food and you let them know if you'd like to dine in or take it to go. Their cuisine is Hawaiian and Filipino cuisine. We tried the following items: - Lunch Plate- 1 Entree: Sweet Huli Chicken with sticky white rice and Dakine mac salad. The sweet Huli chicken came with 3 sticks. The flavoring was SO, SO good on this. It had the bbq charred taste which made it have awesome flavor. The sticky white rice complimented the sweet Huli chicken and the Dakine mac salad was good as well. The mac salad is on the sweeter side and not as creamy as I'm used to, but it was good! - Hawaiian Plate- 3 Entree: Pulehu Steak, Sweet Huli Chicken, Tempura Shrimp with sticky white rice and Dakine mac salad. The Pulehu steak came with 1 stick, sweet Huli chicken came with 3 sticks, and there were 3 tempura shrimps. All of these were super delicious. I loved how the tempura shrimp was super crispy! I was a bit sad that the Pulehu steak only came with 1 stick though. Everything was so good that we wanted more. - Halo Halo- typical Filipino dessert. Toppings were great, had the perfect amount of sweetness to it, and everything was made to perfection. It's such a staple to eat halo halo in any kind of weather. We like to mix everything up and then eat it. Some people like to not mix it up, but it's totally up to you and your preference! Overall, I would come back here again. The portions were generous in my opinion. I couldn't finish the lunch plate with my sweet Huli chicken. Customer service was great, wait time wasn't that long (however, I could tell that it might take long if you go during rush hours), the food was beyond delicious, and it's such a great mom and pop shop. Go to this place for some great food! read more

This place is the real deal! If you like Hawaiian cuisine I would definitely recommend giving it a try. Got the steak kebab and pulled pork with mac salad and white rice. Everything was absolutely divine, and easily some of the best and freshest Hawaiian food I have ever had. Only knock was somewhat slow service. Went on a Monday evening, but even so it seems like they need to hire some more staff. Would absolutely recommend this place to anyone thinking of giving it a try. read more

the food was horrendous! I ordered a chicken katsu with mac salad. the Mac salad was spoiled. the chicken was old but they fried it again it was extremely burnt and dry. my sister ordered the local moco and it was just as bad. the gravy was old you can taste it. the patty had ZERO flavor. complete waste of money! don't recommend. read more

A tasty Hawaiian/Filipino combo! This place is deserving of the high Yelp reviews in pulls! When we came, my wife and I both had combos. I had Huli Huli chicken and adobo with the pansit noodles and salad, she had kahlua pork and Katsu with Mac salad and rice. Both combos = great! The adobo did seem pretty fatty to me, but with this being my first time having it, I'm guessing it's just how the dish is, not how it was prepared here. I specifically liked the menu options here, as most of the Hawaiian places are really limited, and Dakine gives you some cool options for sides and mains that others don't. Employees were also great, and the food came fast, despite them being pretty busy the whole time we were there (aka others like it too). If you like Hawaiian, don't miss Dakine Grindz! read more

Love love love Dakine Grindz! Came here after reading all of the positive reviews, and I'm glad to say that this place lives up to the hype. We ordered online for in-store pick up. Only downside to ordering online was that we were unsure when the food would be ready. Because of this, we arrived before our food was ready. The lumpia was great, the chicken katsu was great, the sides were great--everything was great! I can't wait to eat here again! read more

Pancit was delish! Perfect amount of seasoning. They actually messed up by giving us rice instead of pancit, so they gave us the pancit in a separate container. The pork was juicy and melts in your mouth. The beef skewers were so flavorful and has that smoky char taste to it on the outside. Sooo good! My partner and I devoured this meal. We also got a halo halo, which was pretty good. The lumpia was probably my lowest rating dish for the meal. If you're craving hawaiian or filipino food, definitely check this place out! read more

Hawaiian and Filipino mixed, and was a bit of a drive from where I live.

First time here. Didn't know what to expect. Definitely not as busy as I expected it to be. Which helps when it's the first time you check out a place. Gave the Hawaiian Plate a shot, which by the way is packed with meat. Breaking down by the variety that was there: The Chicken Katsu was pretty good. The katsu sauce turned out to be flavorful, but not over powering. The Kalbi Beef was on the mark. Marinated perfectly with the right degree of flavor. Not overpowering, but also not so weak as to make you question if it had been marinated at all. The Kalua Pork was done right. Just the right portion of seasoning and cooked correctly to give it the tenderness of anything back home. I thought the plate had a good portion of Mac salad as well as rice. Overall. Good job. read more

Dakine Grindz Restaurant - The Hawaiian Plate - Filipino Near Me - Sunset, Utah

YES! Filipino and Hawaiian food! Always looking for that new experience. Never really had Filipino food, but my daughter spent some time there and loved it, so i really wanted to try. Staff is super friendly, and they are being really COVID careful, so its great for takeout and dine in. Menu is split between Hawaiian classics and what i would call northern Philippine cuisine. Almost everything is amazing. Kabobs , both pork and steak are really really tasty with large portions and good flavor. Chicken adobo is the BOMB! classic filipino dish, although the amount of fat, may be off putting to some americans, i loved it. the sauce is vinegary and rich at the same time. The lechon kawali is basically chicharrones with meat, and so delicious, it sealed the deal on return trips. the mac salad and rice are both good, and the only slight let down was the pancit noodles, which were a little weak on the flavor. the hawaiian kahlua pork is traditional and very good. the sauces are all very tasty. they just added a spicy dipping sauce. its definitely homey food, not upscale, just good ethnic mama cooking. in the mood for something different give it try! read more
