02.07.2026 - DQ Hawaiian BBQ | Elk Grove, CA **Broke da mouth.** From the moment I walked in, the restaurant felt welcoming--clean, well-kept, and inviting. The cashier at the front was patient and kind as I placed my order, offering thoughtful recommendations. She suggested the Half & Half combo, which turned out to be the perfect choice, especially since I wanted to try their Kalua Pork with Cabbage. Whenever I visit a Hawaiian BBQ restaurant for the first time, Kalua pork is my benchmark. It's the dish that quietly tells you whether a place truly understands Hawaiian food and culture. ### First Glance The portions were generous at first sight, but as I ate, it became clear the balance was just right. The Kalua pork and cabbage looked moist and savory. The short ribs were beautifully cooked--charred just enough without being overdone. The macaroni salad immediately reminded me of what I used to eat back home in Hawaii, and the steamed rice appeared to be short-grain, (unsure) prepared with care. ### Taste Test **Steamed Rice** Perfectly cooked. Each grain was intact--never mushy, never dry. Moist, fluffy, and timed precisely. It tasted like it was made by someone who truly respects rice. **Macaroni Salad** Comforting and familiar. The flavors were exactly where they should be, with a subtle hint of umami that many other Hawaiian BBQ spots in the area shy away from. That small detail made a big difference and brought authenticity to the plate. **Short Ribs** Tender, flavorful, and cooked just right. The charring added depth without bitterness, and the marinade tasted just like the plate lunches I grew up with in Hawaii. The meat was soft and juicy--not dry or tough. **Kalua Pork** This was the true test--and it passed effortlessly. Moist, tender, and infused with smoky juices. Too often, some restaurants in the Sacramento region, Kalua pork is served dry, but this one stayed true to its roots. One bite confirmed it: this was authentic. ### Final Thoughts I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu. This visit sparked that familiar feeling--the one that makes you want to return, to taste more, to linger a little longer. The staff was warm and attentive. The waitress stopped by my table to check in, and that gave me the chance to ask the real question: *Are you guys from Hawaii?* She smiled and said her boss is. That explained everything. You can feel it when a local boy builds something with care, pride, and memory. Much respect. This is a place worth supporting. So there you have it--**ONO yah. Broke da mouth.** read more

Service: 4.2 friendly Food: 3.7 Friday night and my wife lets me pick the spot, so I've been wanting to try this place and been craving Hawaiian food; so I guess it's my lucky night! When we arrived, I opened the door and thought there was no seating since all I saw was the counter to order food. But there's a few tables that sit mostly two or four people, which gave that hole-in-the-wall vibe. So that was also a sign for us to stay and dine-in. We ordered the BBQ mix (w/brown rice & salad) and the Seafood & BBQ combo with all rice. The young woman working the counter was kind and brought our order to our table, even though everything was packed in "to-go" containers. All the meat was served hot and the seafood fried & crispy. The piece of fish that was in my combo was lightly battered and seasoned which did not require any sauce (the highlight of my dinner). The shrimp tasted like from a packaged product, but it was fried to perfection and not greasy. The BBQ beef was thinly sliced and overly marinated since I can still taste the saltiness from the marinade even drinking several glasses of water after dinner. Oh and the nice young woman working kept checking in on us throughout our meal. And I will need to come back and try the other food on their menu to hopefully provide a more insightful review. read more

I decided to give this place a try because I wasn't sure what to have for dinner. The location is quite small, and I don't recall there being much, if any, seating available for dining in. I ordered the Spam and eggs plate, which came with two scoops of rice and macaroni salad. The macaroni salad was pretty standard, and the Spam and eggs were decent. They provide teriyaki sauce on the side, but I think the dish would have been more flavorful if it had been cooked with the sauce rather than served separately. I placed my order for pickup and was impressed by the quick service. I called ahead, and my food was ready within 5 to 10 minutes. read more

Nice take out spot for Hawaiian BbQ. I ordered the bbq mix plate. Pretty standard for any Hawaiian bbq joint to have this plate. First the good parts, I really liked the mac salad. I couldn't eat too much of it but it was tasty. The amount of meat was ok. Meat was all tender and cooked nicely for me. The parts that was eh for me was the rice was hard and too much on the dry side for me. I like sticky rice but it's just my preference. The rib that was provided was smaller and only had two bones. The bbq beef was ok a bit salty but normal for Hawaiian places imo. I'd try it again but I'd probably try a different plate. read more

DQ Hawaiian BBQ - Bbq mix plate - Hawaiian Near Me - Elk Grove, California

I'm happy there's a Hawaiian eatery in Elk Grove that's not a chain. The first time I came here, got the garlic shrimp plate. The shrimp at the time were bigger and had shell at a reasonable price. The plate also comes with 2 scoops of rice, some cabbage and a side of macaroni salad all at $13.95 or around there. I came today and to my surprise the garlic shrimp plate went up in price, no more shell and you get more shrimp (12 pieces). It still comes with 2 scoops of rice and macaroni salad with the shrimp on a bed of cabbage. Really enjoyed my shrimp plate the first time around. Lots of flavor and reminded me of Hawaii, going to the North Shore, and waiting at the shrimp restaurants for my garlic butter shrimp. DQ comes a close second for mainland garlic butter shrimp. I'm rating this 3 stars for a somewhat downgrade in the garlic shrimp. No shell, and the shrimp appear smaller. Not as much garlic as before but flavor is still there. Unfortunately, the new garlic shrimp plate went up in price to $15.95. I'm ok with the price but didn't like that the shrimp size became smaller. Which would explain why there's more shrimp. I've tried their spam musubi which is good. I feel like you can't go wrong with spam musubi. Will have to try their other dishes. I'm saddened by the change of the garlic shrimp plate but I guess not many consumers like shell. Will still come back to try their other offerings. I'm wanting to try the katsu next. Definitely appreciate the employee taking my order being upfront about the change in the price of the garlic shrimp plate, the quantity and no shell. Friendly staff and they bring out your order to you! Overall, still decent pricing and food quality hasn't changed much yet. Will be returning whenever I'm craving for Hawaiian style food. read more

Friendly staff, plenty of seating available in the evening. I was recommended the bbq beef and got it with chicken katsu. The meats were tender, the katsu was my favorite. Great customer service, it wasn't too loud or silent it was just right. Perfect for a quick bite lunch/dinner. read more

Was the first time trying and going to definitely order again. We ordered through Doordash, it arrived quick. I really liked the chicken katsu, it was good pieces of chicken without any dark pieces. The garlic shrimp were very garlicky, but delicious! For that specific plate I do wish it had more rice to help with the garlic, but other than that, I LOVE the fact that you get more macaroni salad than rice. Can't wait to try again! read more

​The food was so yummy! Ordering was quick and easy, and our meal arrived shortly after we placed our order. I tried the seafood combo and the half and half plate, both came to less than $30 total. ​The katsu, shrimp, and fish were all perfectly crispy and delicious. Both plates included a side of macaroni salad, which was so good. However, they should make it clearer that the plates come with two scoops of rice and mac salad; I had to ask the cashier for clarification, as did other customers. ​On the plus side, they were playing some absolute bangers! I'll definitely be back, though I do wish they had sturdier utensils--my fork was pretty flimsy. read more

Delicious, fresh, a bit salty but so good. Friendly fast service. Clean restaurant. No complaints, the garlic shrimp was the star. It would be great if the rice portion was larger to balance the salty component. Ideally 2 scoops of rice and 2 scoops of Mac salad. We would go back to try the katsu. read more

We love Hawaiian food and we are happy Elk Grove has a good spot now. I pop in here when I'm craving spam musubi or bbq lunch plate

Food: BBQ Mix Plate Service: Great service! I was greeted upon entering and was able to order immediately. It only took a few minutes to wait for the food, and it was cooked fresh to order. (I took my order to-go.) Ambiance: Roomy tables that can fit up to 4 people comfortably. I wouldn't recommend dining in for larger parties since it's narrow inside, unless you're comfortable splitting the party into groups of 4 or less. Background music consisted of trendy pop music. Overall, I will be back again to try more items from their menu! read more

We love this place. Food is always fresh, made to order, and tasty! our favorites are the chicken katsu, kahlua pork with cabbage, and the mix plates! read more

I had been wanting to try DQ Hawaiian since they first opened, but finally got around to it when grabbing dinner with family on Friday. Our group of 5 decided to dine in, and we were the only ones the entire visit to do so. DQ seemed to be pretty popular for take out orders! The interior is pretty simple - a row of about 5ish tables of 4 and 1 or 2 smaller tables make up the seating. Note: during the March heat wave when we visited, the interior was hotttt. I wonder if it was a building-wide issue, because we noticed a lack of cooling when we visited another business in the same strip. The service was very nice and quick. We ordered at the counter and then our dishes were brought out to us once ready. My husband got the loco moco and I got a combo with BBQ chicken and katsu. Of the two orders, we both preferred mine, only because the loco moco patty was okay, but not great. I loved the BBQ chicken and katsu - both were cooked really well with lots of flavor! The portions were also excellent. I'll definitely be back, either to grab takeout or hopefully when it's a more enjoyable experience to dine in. Really glad we finally got to try out DQ! read more

I wanted to try a new Hawaiian food place instead of L&L. I haven't been happy with the Hawaiian food choices here. Glad I did try this place! Service and Food is ALL GOOD! I ordered a mini Loco Moco, Lumpia, and Spam Musubi. Little bit of my favorites to try. Loco moco has a good taste. Gravy and egg cooked to perfection. The macaroni was moist....not like clumpy and dry at other places. Spam Musubi comes fully wrapped in seaweed. Taste of it was very good. Nothing fancy on the Musubi........Very good for nothing fancy:) The service when ordering was pleasant and an easy transaction. The only downside is that the parking and general traffic can be horrible. There's a busy restaurant with a drive thru that's brings in a lot of cars and people. Be careful of other people/cars. I almost got hit! The other downside.....they have a water jug for people with small cups and water was room temp. Yes, it's free water but having a cold cup available would have been great. I'll be back to try the other combos! read more

Went on a Friday evening around 5:30 and it was empty so service was quick and fast. Ordered the bbq plate which has one piece of short rib, bbq beef, and bbq chicken along with two scoops of rice and one scoop of Mac salad. The short rib was tough to eat and really chewy. The plastic silverware they provide is very thin and made it difficult to use to eat. It felt warm inside the restaurant to me. I'd do a to-go order next time if I return and maybe try the seafood options or the chicken katsu. Mac salad was good! read more

I had found out DQ Hawaiian was having their Grand Opening from a friend so I decided I'd attend since she had already tried their food and loved it! First 30 customers got their meal for free. After that 50% off! The incentive to come was there. We made it just in time to get #30! Woo hoo! The restaurant is small and narrow. Not an ideal place to bring the whole fam but possible as I saw 4 chairs to a table. Lots of hustle and bustle but nonetheless my food was done within a reasonable amount of time, all items accounted for, and was delicious. Location isn't too far from Sac peeps, such as myself, and part of EG where you're not driving too far into EG stuck in so much traffic. I got the Chicken Katsu regular plate. This came with 2 scoops of rice, 1 scoop of mac salad (has tuna, btw), and PLENTY of chicken. My toddler loved their crispy chicken and kept asking for more! 10/10 Hubby got the fish & shrimp plate. Again, great portions with the protein and same scoops of rice & mac salad. 10/10 Overall, my first time experience was perfect and food was flavorful. Crispiness of protein was superior. Held up well after we ordered our food and headed home to enjoy. We definitely would come back again! read more

DQ Hawaiian BBQ - Regular Chicken Katsu - 10/10 - Hawaiian Near Me - Elk Grove, California

I ordered the half katsu, half teriyaki combo so I could try both. My meal was delivered to the table in a tied-up to-go bag. Inside, I found a tiny plastic fork that wasn't very practical, so I asked for chopsticks. I also had to request teriyaki sauce, as it didn't come with the meal. Now, onto the food -- the chicken was cooked and coated perfectly. The katsu was golden, crispy, and incredibly tender inside. The katsu sauce was excellent and definitely a highlight. The teriyaki chicken was made with lean tender breast meat, nicely grilled, and flavorful on its own. Unfortunately, the teriyaki sauce was a letdown -- overly salty and more like standard Hawaiian-style brown gravy than classic teriyaki. The macaroni salad was also disappointing. It didn't taste like traditional Hawaiian mac salad and, honestly, wasn't even as good as the kind you'd find at a grocery store. Under the chicken, there were a few sad strings of lettuce -- no real veggies, and definitely no cabbage unless you special order it. Despite the downsides, I'd come back -- mainly for the meat. The katsu and teriyaki (minus the teriyaki sauce) were that good. Next time, I'll just bring it home, use my own teriyaki sauce, and utensils. read more

Overall pretty solid new Hawaiian food spot in EG (and it seems like it's already garnering some regular customers based on seeing a steady flow of food order foot traffic when I was here). - Chicken katsu: succulent chicken!! Nicely crispy crust as well but the breading could be less coarser (crust wasn't sticking really well to the chicken). - Kalua pork: very flavorful pork! I will say too much cabbage for my liking though (a bit filler-like). The lady at the ordering counter did ask if I wanted the cabbage included and if I order the pork again I would opt out on the cabbage. - Garlic shrimp: no skimping on the garlic at all lol prepare for garlic mouth! Tender shrimp. - Macaroni salad: fairly standard. L&L-tier. Okay-ish food portion sizes. Small mom-and-pop interior with a few dining tables. Parking situation isn't too bad; finding parking out front might be difficult mainly due to the In-N-Out crowd, but I had no problem finding parking a little further down towards Staples in the plaza. read more

Visited this place while working close by and it was a good overall Hawaiian bbq! The portion size was good and the meat was cooked ok. Can't speak of the service because this is a walk up to the counter and order place so no service to speak of. The ambiance is a "hole in the wall" place with only 5/6 tables to sit at. Overall, I'm rating this like 3.5 for portion size and good price. However the taste could improve with more Hawaiian seasoning or cooked a bit better. read more

DQ Hawaiian BBQ - Combination plate - Hawaiian Near Me - Elk Grove, California

Tried out DQ HAWAIIAN BBQ, new spot in Elk Grove! Currently they're doing their soft opening and they were already super busy. I picked up my food to go and they had it ready so fast. It was done before I even pulled in to park! The inside is smaller but they had a good amount of seating available for those choosing to stay and dine in. Food rating wise .... The spam musubi was DELICIOUS! Had a nice little snap of the seaweed and pan fried spam. The Mac salad had really good flavor overall , just was a tad on the saucy end. The lumpia was SO GOOD, great crunch and flavor. The bbq plate was delicious! I love the short ribs and they were cooked and seasoned perfectly! I can't wait to come back and try some more menu items in the future! read more

I was quite hungry after working in the area. Saw that this place opened up right next to Rose Tea Lounge and as I have been craving Hawaiian bbq for awhile, this place seemed perfect. I ordered the half and half combo, with fried shrimp and kalua pork. The portions are pretty generous! I liked the Mac salad as well too. I think the shrimp is nicely fried, with a perfect ratio of batter to shrimp. I also liked the kalua pork, although it is a bit salty so you need to eat with rice. I didn't try (as I'm trying to be mindful of sugar intake) any of the Hawaiian drinks, but they have so many different flavors here! Service was super quick: I waited maybe 5-10 minutes for my food. The inside has some tables and chairs, but seems to be mostly a take out place. read more

DQ Hawaiian BBQ - Fried shrimp and kalua pork - Hawaiian Near Me - Elk Grove, California

This is a new location. The Marysville Blvd one is now closed. My friend William owns this and he takes pride in the food he offers. A few items got dropped off the menu from the old location but most of the Hawaiian style items are all here. The bbq mix plate, the katsu, curry katsu, musubi, loco moco, fish etc are all tasty and bomb! The mac salad and rice is always fresh. Portions are good. You must come try it. All items are great. If they weren't in EG, I would be there MUCH more often! read more

We originally wanted to go to a buffet for Mother's Day , but we didn't want to wait in line with big crowds . I had seen that this place had just opened up, and thought it'd be a good choice to have mother's day lunch here . Upon walking in , you'll notice it's more of a casual , take out, kinda place but there are a few tables and chairs for sitting in . The kind employees allowed us to combine tables and accommodated everyone in our party . The food came out fast and everyone loved what they ordered . The portions were huge and the prices are just right ! My parents and grandparents really enjoyed the service and their meals . 5 stars because they were kind , accommodating , the prices are reasonable, and the food was good ! read more

This is the second time I've been here and the the food is definitely consistent! When you walk in you are immediately greeted by the front desk staff where you can see the menu and where you would order, their menu is simple but they have many options and you can even get a low carb option which is awesome to know! For their food we ordered a garlic shrimp plate and a chicken katsu plate with gravy, their shrimp is like a garlic shrimp slightly sweet slightly salty and has a nice garlic flavor, their chicken katsu plate is super loaded, I eat a LOT and I couldn't finish my plate (although if I was really hungry I could) their chicken is perfectly crisp and tender, and the gravy is not heavily poured on meaning you get a good mix of really crisp chicken and some that have soaked in the flavor, if you order in the gravy won't have sat long enough to affect the texture much The server checked in on us 3 times while we were there which was really nice of her, this place is honestly perfect, I can't find anything to complain about! read more

Saw this was a new place driving by and stopped by to try it. I called in my order to go for pick up. Got my usual order I get at other Hawaiian bbq places. A chicken katsu and bbq mix plates. Both were really delicious! The chicken katsu was perfectly crispy and cooked to perfection. The bbq mix isn't overly salty or over marinated like some places can be. They do give one less short rib than the competitor. The Mac salad is delicious too! It is not super sweet and has the right amount of mayo. This will definitely be my new goto place! read more

Interior is small and there is a long row of tables to sit at. Service was very fast and friendly. Overall food was average. Nothing too impressive. Some of the meat was very touch and rubbery. Location is not that great either because the parking lot is always busy due to the In-&-Out and Canes in the same parking lot. read more

They were very nice taking our order and suggesting other items. We didn't have to wait long for our food which is great! read more

I saw that they are a new shop in the area, and I had to try it. I didn't get a chance to see what the shop looked like as I got my order dropped off, but I did receive their current menu photos! I ordered the Chicken Katsu plate and asked for the side to be all macaroni salad. When opening up the order, I was surprised it was a huge portion of food. I ate a bit of it before taking a picture of the plate, so the picture only shows 3/4 portion left. The macaroni salad was good, it was soft and cooked perfectly. It wasn't too saucy and tasted like a standard good macaroni salad! The chicken katsu was deep fried perfectly! There were various sizes of thin and thick pieces of chicken. Luckily the chicken was still crunchy when it was dropped off to me. I'd say it's a good standard chicken katsu. The sauce provided with the plate was a sweet katsu sauce, which gave the chicken flavor. Overall I'm satisfied with their chicken katsu plate. read more

Heard a lot of good things about DQ so we came in for dinner one night. They had pretty good portions and we tried a little bit of everything. My favorites were the beef and the chicken katsu. The chicken was also pretty good! The kalua pork was good but a little bit too dry for my taste (tastes good with leftover katsu sauce though!). However next time I'd probably get it to-go because it was super hot inside the restaurant - not sure if it's always like that or if the air was just not working that day. read more

Really happy that we have another Hawaiian food joint here in Elk Grove. Service is really great and helpful at the counter. The food came out timely. We sat inside for a while and it was clean and well put together. I was shocked by the beef plate. I don't know that it could be that good! I really enjoyed all the food we tried. And I can't wait to come back again! read more

We order several catering dishes for a family gathering. The small platters of bbq chicken and chicken katsu were more than enough for the family of 10 we had over for dinner. We enjoyed the Mac salad and our orders of spam and chicken katsu musubi's. Those also were flavorful. We would highly recommend this place. read more

Came here to give it a try after being a regular L&L patron. Walked in and was immediately greeted by the cashier who was patient and made a couple of recommendations (katsu chicken and short ribs). I ordered the Katsu Curry plate, son ordered the Kahlua Pork plate and wifey the small teriyaki chicken plate. The scoop size of rice was small, and the Mac salad was less flavorful than L&L's; smaller Mac "shells" vs. Jumbo. Rice was not fluffy nor hot; room temp at best. The curry sauce had a slight kick and was ok; wished there was more sauce. Chicken was plentiful and had right amount of panko. The teriyaki chicken was good, and the kahlua pork was flavorful with the right amount of smoke. The ambience was casual; just wish I wasn't able to hear conversations going in the kitchen, which was behind the pony wall. Friendly cashier who asked how our food was...a rarity at quick serve restaurants. Service took my starting from 3 to 4. Will try other items next time I'm on this side of Elk Grove (99 side). read more

Wow! The reviews are right! This place is fantastic! My garlic shrimp was out of this world! It rivals Station 16. I love that they offer it healthy style with brown rice and salad. The spam masubi and my hubby's teriyaki chicken were fantastic, too. The seating area is small with only about five tables. Unfortunately, there were a lot of flies, but there are bathrooms. This is a mom-and-pop operation and the food is a league above that other Hawaiian BBQ chain. It's not fancy, but the food is amazing. What a gem! read more

While driving I saw this place and I have been wanting Hawaiian BBQ for a while, so this place immediately caught my attention. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted immediately and welcomed by the young woman who was working. She was being very friendly and patient and took the time to go over the menu, answer my questions, and suggest popular items. That kind of customer service really makes a difference, especially when trying a new place. The interior of the place is also really clean and although the menu in the restaurant is really high up, it is very convenient to look at when you are dining or sitting down, I do wish that the menu was lower so I didn't have to look so high up however.. I went with the half and half plate with chicken and bbq beef and was impressed by how juicy and delicious it was. The food was fresh and flavorful compared to L&L. The mac salad was also a nice addition and balanced the plate well, it was really delicious! Between the welcoming staff, quick service, and really good food, this place left a great impression on me. I will definitely come back and try more items from the menu and definitely recommend it to anyone looking for good Hawaiian BBQ in the area! read more

Another option for Hawaiian BBQ in Elk Grove. Great food, cozy take out atmosphere, and attentive service. They even have healthy options! You can get any protein: beef, chicken, shrimp, with lots of combo options, but the healthy bowl is great! Big salad, small portion of brown rice, and delicious proteins. Gotta say, they low-key have the best shrimp in town! Totally unassuming place for shrimp this good. Better than Station 16, or Crab Stadium. That's saying a lot! C'mon in, you'll love it! read more

My son and I felt like having some Hawaiian bbq type food. I remember passing by DQ, and thought that it would be a perfect time to finally try this place out. It's still in its soft opening phase, so I thought they would have some special, unfortunately they did not. We got their Chicken Katsu and their Mixed BBQ plate. Off the top, I noticed they did not give that much Mac Salad and Rice. I ran out of rice during the middle of my meal haha. But I guess it's better than getting lots of rice with little meat haha. The service was normal. She greeted us and asked us what we wanted, pretty self explanatory, so not much conversation happened haha. There were plenty of seats, maybe because it was just their soft opening. But they were getting lots of to go order. Overall, I really liked the BBQ Mixed plate. My son said his chicken Katsu was just ok. He preferred this other Hawaiian bbq place. Well, when you're in this area, and want some Hawaiian BBQ, make sure to try this place out! read more

This is my first time trying this brand new Hawaiian BBQ in Elk Grove. DQ Hawaiian BBQ is soft opening at this time. I love Hawaiian BBQ, so I had to try them. I'm glad I did! They are so good, both in food and service! DQ Hawaiian BBQ is in one of the busiest shopping centers in Elk Grove. It shares a parking lot with In-N-Out Burger, Rose Tea, Raising Cane's, and many other restaurants and businesses. Fortunately, most people park there for a very short time. When I was looking for parking, four to five cars had already moved out, and I got a parking spot immediately. The BBQ Mix and Seafood & BBQ Combo I ordered this time are excellent. I can tell they use good quality ingredients. All the meats and seafood are delicious. The prices are very reasonable, and the portions are generous. I have my food to go this time. But they have a lovely dining room. I'm going to have my lunch or dinner there next time! read more
