Extremely disappointing and unprofessional catering experience. Do not waste your time or money booking catering with Enfuego. We booked Enfuego to cater our housewarming event on 8/16/26, with an order totaling over $1,000 including taxes. The morning of our event, we received a call telling us that they would not be able to make our food. There was no real explanation, no apology, and very little concern for the fact that we were now left scrambling for food on the day of our event. I understand that weather can create challenges, and I believe this was related to Tropical Storm Lala. However, what makes this situation especially frustrating is that Enfuego contacted us the day before, on 8/15, specifically to confirm whether we still wanted to proceed with our order. We said yes. The storm was not a surprise at that point. Everyone knew it was approaching Oahu, and we were expecting the weather to clear by the time of our 5pm event. If Enfuego knew there was a possibility they could not fulfill our order, they should have been upfront with us when they called to confirm the day before. Instead, they waited until the morning of our event to cancel, leaving us with almost no time to find another caterer. The cancellation itself was disappointing, but the lack of communication, empathy, and professionalism was what really stood out. When you are taking someone's money for a $1,000+ catering order for an important event, the least you can do is communicate properly and show some consideration for the customer. I've always had good things to say about Enfuego, which makes this experience even more disappointing. Unfortunately, this has completely changed my opinion of the business. I would not recommend Enfuego for catering, especially for an important event where you need a business you can actually depend on. Weather is unpredictable. Poor communication and poor customer service are not. read more

I heard it was under new owners and wanted to see the menu. I placed a phone order and ordered the miso butterfish, and garlic chicken... it was excellent and ono... only wish the portions were bigger, relatively to the price. Service was superb. Environment was average. Lots of free parking and food came with free canned drinks. Must try! read more

Same Ono food but a bright refreshed interior. Clean comfy seating. Loved the familiar fantastic food! I got the seafood & steak combo with potato salad plate and an order of kalua pig spring rolls. Steak was cooked perfectly, so tasty and the fish cream sauce made me want to lick my screen! Because it was EnFuego's Grand ReOpening until 07/15/26 I also got 10% off my purchase and a free drink (Pepsi products or iced tea or water)! read more

This review is specifically addressing their "manapua," a new addition to their menu. I ordered two and was expecting a nice warm manapua. Unfortunately, what I received were two cold manapua's. I could only take one bite and decided to wait until I got home and to try it again after I warmed it up. On the plus side there is a generous amount of pork. The flavor was okay, though I did not care for the after taste that was left on my palate. It is safe to say I won't order this again. The cashier informed me they were under new ownership, hence the addition of the manapua on their menu and the return of dine in service. I will be back to try my old favorites (garlic chicken, garlic ahi, and their Mahi Mahi with garlic cream sauce), hopefully the tastefulness hasn't changed on their original menu. read more

I haven't ordered from here in a very long time. Last time I visited I think it was pre-Covid and they still had dine in available. Now it's strictly take out. There's no dine in tables and the counter has moved forward. Looks like they do okazuya too. I'll have to try. I found their online ordering to be convenient. We ordered the garlic chicken salad ($15) and combo misoyaki butter fish & seared ahi ($24.95). The food still tastes great! Garlic chicken was packaged separately from the salad. It still is full of flavor. The salad is butter leaf lettuce and has a little bit of shredded carrot and sliced cucumber with won ton crisps. Fish was cooked perfectly. Overall place looked clean and staff were friendly. I was greeted upon entering. I would recommend this place and would definitely return. read more

The service was good and the food was AMAZING we would highly recommend trying the garlic chicken and Kalua pig !!

We are frequent customers... food is always great no complaints there. BUT they have the worst customer service when it comes to availability. Wanted to make a take out order and was told they are only taking future catering orders.. so are you guys just a catering company now?? This isn't the first time this has happened either . read more

Grand re-opening special 10% off all plates until 7/15/2026! Awesome customer service. Clean and cozy inside and outside dining. Recommend the Mahi Mahi & garlic cream along with the garlic chicken and seared garlic ahi. So glad I stopped by to get dinner from here on way home from work. read more

They have really good food, however today was a slight disappointment. The order: Ahi Katsu and Garlic Chicken Combo with 1 scoop brown (mommy/Kenzo), 1 scoop white (daddy), Mac Salad and a Side Garden Salad. The Ahi Katsu was a fat piece, but the interior was a tad overdone and dry. The creamy Asian sauce help add some moistness. They usual star garlic chicken had its typical awesomely sweet and slightly garlic flavor, however the chicken came out cold. There was still crunch, but some chicken a tad hard. Probably cooked way earlier and just been sitting. Which was surprising as it did take a good 10-15 min for food to come out, in which only the ahi katsu being cooked fresh. I am a fan of their Mac, nice and creamy flavor with a touch of pepper. They got rid of the inside seating area since I last came here, however there are a few tables outside. Still a fan of their food and will be back when on this side of island, just not on their game today. read more

En fuego has always been my go to for the best garlic chicken & shrimp scampi for YEARS! Ooh that chicken is cut up bite sized, crispy fried, juicy inside, and drenched in that sauce just how I like it! The shrimp scampi was a white sauce, maybe like a Beurre blanc; garlic creamy savory sauce.. yum, I'm craving it just writing this review! And the dressing for the salad?? Gimme 2 salads! So ono!!! Service is always quick and friendly also! My only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because they changed the shrimp scampi recipe! ): and now it's just like a oil & garlic sauce. The description on the menu still said it was the old school way, so please change your menu description on the scampi so others aren't let down or PLEASEEEE bring back the old recipe!! Don't change what's broken.. we love you en fuego! read more

I'd first like to start this review with a DISCLAIMER: My personal opinion of the Okazuya at En Fuego's is in its fair judgement to OKAZUKA and its unique, cultural style of premade side dishes. These side dishes are usually part of a long list of old school 'Okazuya' kine tingz us Hawaii people like to grind, so don't expect it all to match or even be something you'd choose for breakfast. Most items are entree selections that are served in small portions. Additionally, these little side dishes won't always be hot and fresh out the kitchen, and they're surely not customizable; you just look, point, and pay. With that said....!! I'd give En Fuego Okazuya a solid 4 stars. Let's start with the list of things we tried today: - Fried saimin - Chow fun - Hamburger patty - Hash patty - Fried chicken - Ginger fried rice - Butterfish - Furikake salmon - Mochiko chicken - Gobo - Furikake musubi - Vegetable tempura Aside from the items that looked familiar upon sight, I had to ask what everything was. The young lady working the front was helpful in naming the items as I pointed down the hot line, but name plaques would be so much more efficient. To be honest, it was hard to see a lot of things because the levels were low in the warmers, or the pieces of proteins were sitting in a sauce and they all kinda look alike if you're not an okazu pro. Before entering the place, I gave my wife the heads up that this might be costly... and girrrrrl, I wasn't lying! Lol! Our bill came out to $48 before tax. There was an item on the receipt that I noticed we didn't order, so we had to go back in for a $3.50 refund. No biggie, but ALWAYS check your receipt! Foodie-buddy tip :) Once we got to grinding, we were pleased that most of our picks were pretty tasty. The food was standard to other places we frequent, and the portion was reasonable as well. Salt factor - I'd say some dishes could've used more, while others had too much. Crispy factor for our fried items? This lands at a 4/5, too, and we could tell things would've been so much better if it was hot, but it was still fairly crispy (veg temp, fried chicken, mochiko). All-in-all, this first drop in was a success. 4 stars isn't a knock outta the park, but it's good enough to go back to try other things. My wife and I have already been lovers of En Fuego for about 15 years, but with their adjusted hours of operation, we no longer get to enjoy them for dinner or even a late lunch. I'm happy to see they answer their phones now tho! I know during and right after Covid, calls were directing you to visit their website for ordering and whatnot. Definitely a negative aspect at the time, so that being changed is a huge plus. Enjoy :) read more

Had the spicy garlic chicken today and it was very delicious and flavorful. Will go there again to try more food.

They need to answer their phone been trying to place take out orders for a few weeks on a Friday to no avail. Aside from that the food is good! read more

Yoooooooo, if you on the west side and looking for okazuya...this is it. I heard some things about En Fuego like they over priced, it's mid, etc. Naw this place is the plug for all your okazuya needs. They have it all. The musubis, noodles, shoyu hot dog, hash patties. The service is fast even though only got my dude working the counter. The interior is just the food. They got rid of the sit down area due to Covid. It's ok though you can go to a nearby park or the beach to eat. As for me I ate my plate in the car...couldn't wait. Oh here's a game changer...they have this thing called Butterfish Fried Rice...it is sooooo good. They pick out the bones, well atleast I think they do. I didn't run into a single bone while eating and the thing only $3. I could do 3 orders of that and a hash patty and be on my way. This place is great! read more

The son wanted to practice his driving out in Kapolei to prepare for his driving test so I looked for some places that had gluten free options for me. I was so excited about reading that there were gluten free chicken options here. I wanted to try the garlic chicken and garlic ahi. My husband makes a great mochiko chicken that's gluten free for us at home so garlic chicken it is! It's a take out place with some chairs outside for seating. When I went in, I asked the young man at the counter if their garlic chicken and garlic ahi is gluten free. He said he would go ask for me. He came back with a young female who pointed out the sign in the way left corner that said which items were gluten free. I thanked them and proceeded to order. The guy was very nice and patient. He asked me how I wanted my garlic ahi and I thought okay, seared sounds good. He made sure I understood that the inside wouldn't be cooked all the way through. I asked him how fresh is the fish? He came back with a piece of fish. I don't know that much about fish. I said okay. Son ordered garlic chicken and garlic shrimp. When the food came, I looked at my fish and knew I wouldn't be able to eat it. It was way too raw. I took one bite and it was fishy. Yes, I know that fish are fishy but I'm particular and this kind of fishy meant this fish wasn't as fresh as I thought it to be. My son refused to allow me to ask for them to cook it all the way through so he volunteered to eat it. I was okay with that. My garlic chicken was good! Flavor was good, crunchy and my stomach didn't hurt later so it must have been gluten free. Son had four little pieces of garlic shrimp with his garlic chicken. He wasn't a big fan of the chicken so he gave it to me. The garlic shrimp wasn't very garlicky. More herbish. Still love Jenny's shrimp truck in the North Shore! My son complained about his rice. It seemed like the kind of rice cooked in a pan versus a rice cooker. For the amount of food, I was still hungry. The tossed salad was very fresh and refreshing! But overall food was underwhelming. I wouldn't drive all the way out for the garlic chicken even though they are the only ones I know who make it gluten free. read more

En Fuego Grill - Garlic Ahi and Garlic Chicken Combo Plate - Hawaiian Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

Okazuya in Hawaii is a dying trend. I think all the family-run establishments weren't passed on or younger family members weren't interested in taking over. En Fuego is a great addition to the okazuya world on the west side. Los of choices. Okazuya's not so cheap anymore. 3 "plates" ended up being $40, but was yummy. Especially liked the shoyu chicken and potato hash. Pork adobo not so much. read more

En Fuego Grill located in the Kapolei Shopping Center across from Koa Pancake House. Lots of free parking in a private parking lot. They've trimmed down from a Take Out / Dine In Restaurant to a Take Out only Restaurant. Staff are friendly and quick. They've recently expanded to serve Okazu-ya in the mornings from 6am. Showcases replaced the front counter displaying a good assortment of Japanese Deli favorites. Lunch and Dinner menu entrees are still the favorites. read more

Saw a new-to-me restaurant and thought I'd check it out. Wasn't sure what kind of food they serve, and thought maybe this was a latino specialty meat restaurant based off their name "En Fuego." Boy, was I wrong lol. This restaurant offers more of local entrees, including some Hawaiian and seafood. The following items were ordered: 1. Pastele Stew & Garlic Chicken. The pastele stew had an overbearing olive taste, like they dumped a can of olive juice right into the stew. There were chopped up small meat pieces throughout, but the stew itself did not have that nice hearty meat flavor taste. Garlic chicken on the other hand was excellent! It was coated with a sweet yet strong garlic flavored sauce. The chicken meat itself was cooked to perfection, and the chicken skin appeared to be double fried. Brown rice was dry. 2. Grilled Poke & Garlic Chicken. The grilled poke had a very strong soy sauce taste. Too strong imo as you would need to eat a good amount of rice to offset the saltiness. Garlic chicken and white rice was on point! 3. Fresh Shichimi Seared Ahi Salad. I really wanted to love this salad, but my fish wasn't fresh. Besides the seared sides, the inside of my fish was raw (not an issue for me) and mushy and had a fishy taste. No bueno, No bueno! On a positive note, the greens were fresh, and the homemade Hawaiian sweet chili dressing was delicious. In fact, the dressing was the highlight of my entree. The restaurant itself appeared clean. Keep in mind there is no seating inside, but there are a few uncovered tables outside. Some of the chairs were secured with a lock to their table, which makes me think they've had issues with thievery. The cashier was cordial, but his appearance was unprofessional due to the hickeys visible on his neck. This restaurant has a really good menu selection of local favorites, and pricing is reasonable. I hope they make improvements to the quality control of their food. Bottom Line: I would tread carefully with any entree that has partially raw seafood (i.e. seared ahi). Avoid the pastele stew unless you like olives A LOT. Get the garlic fried chicken! And hickeys below the collar, not above xD read more

Haven't been here in a long time. Since I was in the area, decided to get my Garlic Chicken fix. Was surprised that they no longer have tables and chairs to dine in. As soon as you walk in, they have a counter where you order your food. When I gave the person my order, they ask that I wait outside. This is where I saw tables and chairs but it's in the sun if you choose to eat there. I ordered the Spicy Garlic Chicken with brown rice and toss greens. Some of the chicken seemed to have a lot of batter and was over cooked because it was tough and stringy. Also, the chicken was drowning in the garlic sauce so it was salty. The brown rice was hard and fell apart...it was either undercooked or may have needed more water. I have a rice cooker that has a setting for brown rice. It comes out almost as soft as white rice and it sticks together. If I return, hope I remember to order the white rice. As for the toss salad, I enjoyed this the most because I love their dressing. read more

We love to eat (take out) often. The food is good but their hours of operation are short. Takes meal planning to eat these ono grinds.

En Fuego Grill in Kapolei I was in the area for something else and thought to stop by. I used to come here often, before their Okazuya gig. This is the 3rd (?) time they've changed their business model. I liked it when they first opened. You can dine in after ordering your food. We had our go to foods. We used to order the bento boxes with the garlic chicken, and I remember the hamburger steak being good too, as was the garlic fries. Then they started adding Hawaiian food. That was just ok. I also remember they would often close at different times from what was advertised. Or they started closing early like at 7pm, if I remember correctly. It's 7pm, and I need food! That's why we stopped coming. The posted hours were unreliable even before Covid. Now it's this okazuya. We'll see how it goes. They also do catering so maybe this restaurant is part of the business is just a sidekick, and they focus more on the catering. Wish they would figure it out so there is some consistency on the non-catering side. Came on a Monday morning. around 10am. There was no one in line. A couple walked in while I was there, looked at the food, said no thank you, and left. Food: My first impression was that the food didn't look good. It was 10am and much of the food was already gone. Sometimes empty trays make everything unappealing. I saw chow fun and thought to give it a try. I also had a piece of fried chicken and a piece of hamburger. This was a tasting session for me. Chow fun, fried chicken, and hamburger is an Okazuya staple for me. If those three passed the test, then I'd say this place is good. Chow fun: They gave a lot - half the plate. If you want quantity, you got it. As for the taste, so-so. Doesn't taste like the old fashion chow fun you get at other more familiar popular Okazuya places. This did not pass my palate test. Boneless Fried Chicken: Now this was Ono!!! Good saltiness. I would come here for this. They need to sell cone sushi to go with the fried chicken. This passed the palate test. Hamburger Patty: It was DRY. This might be the same hamburger batch they use for the hamburger steak plates because I could taste a little bit of herbs which I remember it having when we used to come here. They need to make a moister batch for the Okazuya. This did not pass my palate test. Price: The prices are reasonable. My three items came to $12+ Service: Friendly gal at the counter. She said the plate lunches start around 10, or was it 11??? Will I be returning? MAYBE to NO. This place doesn't stick as a go to Okazuya, and I'm scarred by how they used to have unreliable hours. Also, of the three items I tried, only ONE was a GO. Location: This is located next door to the Filipino and Mexican restaurants. I forget the name of the shopping center. Parking: Parking is busy during meal hours but you'll always find something in that big parking lot. What to expect: Okazuya style. Food on display, choose what you want. Atmosphere: Casual. Chill. read more

This business has "false advertising", "deceptive trade practices", and "bait and switch advertising." They advertise decent prices for their food and services on their website, but it isn't accurate. Companies use these strategies to bait you in with good deals, when they have no intentions in honoring them. I could understand if the prices were similar, but one of their catering service fees was $150.00 more than what they advertise on their site. I could also understand if the company is in the process of updating their website, however this is not the case in this situation. They've had the same website for months that I know of. I also called and asked to speak to the catering manager who wasn't in, so I left a detailed message requesting a call back and that I as a customer I felt cheated because I was being mislead. I also requested to have the prices that are advertised on their website. I never received a return call. I don't like to support these kinds of businesses. I support honest and transparent businesses. I was done with this company and looking at other business to cater our event, however my girlfriend heard their food was good and she was set on ordering from them. Since I wouldn't do business with them she put in the order. We paid almost $4,000 on food. I didnt try everything that we had ordered, but I wasn't pleased with what I did try. The roast pork and gravy was extremely salty (I had a few guests tell me it was too salty to eat, and one guest said I should ask for my money back, which I didn't), the grilled veggies with olive oil and herbs was tasteless, the garlic chicken was so chewy it was like eating beef jerky (not even exaggerating), and the fried noodles was over cooked and tasteless. It was so disappointing and we had so much food leftovers and people didn't even want to take it. I heard the steak was good, but I didn't try it or the mahi mahi with garlic cream (my dad said the fish was junk). Overall, I had a terrible experience with this business and how they trick their customers and their management don't have the balls to call back a customer to offer a resolution. I really wish we ordered from Mililani restaurant and gave them the business as they were willing to give military discount and to wave the deliver fees unlike En Ripoffo Grill. This business should be investigated by the Better Business bureau. DO NOT SUPPORT read more

So first off all service was amazing they forgot my mochiko chicken but gave me extra and let me sample some other stuff the fried chicken and fried shrimp to compensate he was sooooo apologetic for a super minor mistake especially with the way I ordered all unorganized... anyways the butterfish fried rice 3 bucks a serving if you're a miso butterfish fan you NEED to get this so good I went back and bought the rest of it.. on to the adobo I was hesitant because it wasn't as dark as the Filipino places but it was so flavorful and soft ginger chicken was also good and hoisin spareribs as well the highlights to me was the butterfish fried rice fried chicken and adobo and most of all great service can't wait to go back and try more stuff read more

I used to work near this restaurant when they first opened. The food was a lot better back then. Now it seems like they give quality for quantity meaning they're too busy or short staffed to keep their food quality consistent.

Surprisingly really good food! Only a takeout/catering restaurant in a strip mall, but it was easily one of the best meals we had in Oahu during our recent vacay. Easy online ordering, and the food is prepared quickly. Portions aren't the biggest, but they were enough. Miso butterfish - excellently prepared, soft and flaky, and flavorful. Brown rice isn't an extra charge, so it was nice to have something somewhat healthy to offset some of our heavier Hawaiian meat meals. Get this. Got the keiki (kids) meal with Katsu chicken, teriyaki beef, and brown rice. Katsu chicken was just ok, nothing spectacular. Teriyaki beef was definitely the best surprise of the meal! It was so tender, not fatty at all, and tasty to top it off! Without the toddler we never would have tried that, and it was fantastic enough to make us want to reorder in any future visit. Garlic shrimp was good too. Big pieces of not-overcooked shrimp, shell-on, in a creamy garlic scampi sauce. I always prefer shell-off for ease of eating and maximum flavor, but it was easy to dip each piece back in the sauce. If you use Google maps or Waze to get here, note that it's not exactly located there--it's at the far end of the strip mall, next to the Hele gas station. read more

This is one of my favorite places to go in Kapolei to get a plate lunch. On my recent visit, I ordered the shrimp and garlic ahi plate. The shrimp was cooked perfectly and the sauce was wicked good. I usually hate having the shell on the shrimp because I don't like peeling the shell off, but the shell was ez-peel, so it was simple to peel off and not messy at all. The garlic ahi had a nice sear and paired well with the shrimp. I'm not too sure what the sauce that was in the small container was, but it tasted good and was great on the fish. I also put some of the sauce on my rice. The mac salad is simple but it was honestly good. You can definitely tell the difference between a good mac salad and a bad mac salad... and this was a good mac salad lol. And... you can't forget about the flavorful garlic chicken. The garlic chicken is a must-try! The food here is great and worth every penny. I appreciate that they have online ordering because I like being able to order ahead and pick it up at my convenience. Overall, En Fuego serves great food, has great customer service, and is one of the best restaurants in Kapolei! read more

#51 for 2019 I try to park close to HIC. Because there are many good eateries in the center parking can get tight during busy hours, Be prepared for a little walk. It's not a large place. The few tables available are filled quickly during the week day lunch rush. I wouldn't come here with a group larger than 6. Our group this time was 5. A few gentlemen moved off the big table so our party could be seated. We then took turns going to order, then wait for our number to be called to pick up. Staff is courteous but they don't move from behind the counter much. I've only been here a few times but I keep ordering the garlic chicken. I love garlic. I use lots in my own cooking too. And, it's always interesting for me to see how other chefs use it. I would add more garlic to this dish to get a good taste. However, that is just me. Maybe, I'll try, to order something different on my next visit. It is good that's why I keep ordering again and again. This might be one of those places you pass up every time. Next time, go in, check it out. Find out for yourself why so many visit here. read more

Ordered catering from here. Food was really good, everyone else loved it as well. I think they make their salad dressing in house and it's ono. The mash potatoes, garlic mahi mahi (they put a sauce on top that's to die for), and salad were my favorites. They dress the salad up with a bunch of items in it. I'd go back. read more

First time I've ever been here was back in 2012 with my other half as one of our many dates. Before, we could sit down and eat, portions were massive, yenno, life was more simple and carefree. Fast forward to almost 10 years later, I've seen the changes that happened overtime. Aside from inflation and the pandemic, the quality is still good. I phone ordered my usual Spicy Garlic Chicken with a seared Garlic Ahi combo, white rice and tossed salad. It's just like how I remembered back in the day. The chicken was dripping in their marinade, super crunchy, garlicy, flavorful, but with a hint of spicy. To me it wasn't spicy at all but as a discretion, it is there. Their garlic ahi tho. I always ordered it seared and it was cooked perfectly. The garlic was not too overpowering for my taste and the sauce that comes with it is my absolute FAVORITE. After all this time, I still have not figured out how they make it. I could literally put that on anything and I wouldn't complain. Put that on my rice, my chicken, everythinggg, so good. It's more of a vinaigrette and they add maybe hot mustard but i have no clue. If they sold that in a bottle, I'd buy it lol Their tossed salad is aight, it's a simple salad, but that dressing tho! I love that dressing and I used to buy the bottle too, not sure if they still sell them. They did away with the whole dine in and expanded their kitchen, which I feel is a good thing especially during these time, but also bc I mean it's such a good plate that you can just take home or to work or eat at the park nearby. I may also add that the cashier in the front is super sweet over the phone and in person. The name of their business is a little misleading but hey, they got good local food. We used to always cater with them too and it was always a hit. The prices are reasonable. I recommend this place and will most likely come back as I always have. read more

I got a mini hamburger steak today. Home made patty, gravy, onions w rice and mac salad. It was good but I prefer a more of that creamier brown/whiteish mushroom gravy. Still good tho. I also got okazuya in the form of the fish patty and a furikake fish patty. They are not as moist as I am used to but still good. They had some crunch and flavor from the onions inside. I prefer the furikake one of the two because it was a little bit more flavorful than just the regular patty. Will definitely be back for that. Of the times that I go here, you don't wait too long for your food whether there is a line or not. Seems like the seating is outside only so you take your chances and may be sitting in the sun but, IMO this food is perfect for that picnic vibe anyway. Staff is always friendly and ready to answer any questions you may have. I've also tried and really liked the miso butterfish and the shoyu hotdogs from the okazuya on a previous visit. read more

We had the Garlic Chicken Bento and a daily special item - hoisin ribs and teri beef. The hoisin ribs weren't our favorite, but over all everything was delicious! We'll be back to try other things. read more

Finally Kapolei has an okazuya that opens early at 6 AM. I remember En Fuego used to be a sit down restaurant where we could enjoy Hawaiian food and local plate lunches, especially their garlic chicken. I'm not sure if they still offer that kind of menu. I saw the signs on the road promoting their new okazuya hours and I was very eager to see what's being offered. My husband and I made it there on a Monday morning around 10 AM and we saw the food in the glass case and under warmers. Pretty much what you get at other okazuyas is being offered at En Fuego's. One unique thing on their menu is butterfish fried rice. If you are a fan of butterfish, their fried rice is just for you. It has a sweet flavor to it. The fried chicken is delicious. The hamburger patty and egg omelet was okay and the fried noodles tasted a little bland, could've had a bit more salt added. Spam musubi was pretty standard; the spam was just fried and not marinated in sauce. There's a bottle of chili pepper water you can pour into a small portion cup with a lid to take to go. It was a good dipping sauce for all the food we ate. I already told my husband he's going to be coming here a lot to get me lunch. read more

En Fuego Grill - Hamburger patty, fried chicken, butterfish fried rice, fried noodles, and egg omelet - Hawaiian Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

Tried the ginger chicken, fish patty, and chow fun noodles. We also tried the mochiko chicken, corned beef patty and furikake rice ball. Everything was ono. Only thing missing was cone sushi! Staff were very friendly and helpful. Anytime you're on the west side and ono for Okazu, En Fuego is a great option. read more
