Nice little spot. We order our food, got it and ate it in under 30 minutes we got there a little early so they weren't as busy but the guy behind the counter was very helpful as I am from out of town. Would recommend. Photos is what remains of my lunch that I'm taking home.

Hawaiian Shrimp with Steamed Rice and Broccoli.

I went back to this gem of a restaurant to see if it was as cold for dinner as it was for lunch last time I was in town. The answer is definitely yes. I started with some pan fried dumplings which were delicious. My Hawaiian shrimp were cooked perfectly, the rice was steamed just like I like it, the veggies were good and the miso soup was perfect. I definitely recommend Hawaii Grill.

Food was delicious and service was great! Very clean restaurant and relaxing atmosphere. I had the hibachi steak and shrimp with fried rice and vegetable soup. 10/10

We've been meaning to come for a long time. As soon as we walked in the Ambiance was very nice, serene. The music and lights are low at 7 pm and the menu looks great! Did I mention how freaking fabulous the Fried egg rolls are and the Hawaiian Chicken!!!!

Nice clean restaurant with very friendly and helpful staff. Decor was in tune with the theme of the restaurant. Overall a good place to eat. Not too expensive. Would reconme

My girlfriend and I were looking for a place to eat and Hawaii Grill popped up, it had a 5 star rating and I was like I must try this, sure enough, it was definitely worth it. When I first walked in I immediately noticed the decorations, there were Tikis and pineapples everywhere. The food is fast, delicious and priced well. I ordered Pan Fried Dumplings, Hawaiian Shrimp with noodles and veggies, it came with broccoli, carrots, along with some pineapples. Everything was delicious, especially the shrimp. Overall this place is a 10/10 definitely would suggest it to others and definitely would go again! (The picture is a screenshot from my girlfriend's recording of the food)

There isn't much service since you checkout like fast food at the counter. However, they do bring the food out to you, and the staff were very nice. The ambiance was nice. Music was really good. The food was really really good. My only negative is I wish there was a bit more of the protein you choose. For almost $50 for 2 people we left still hungry. We did have an appetizer as well. Not a huge bummer. Just being greedy maybe. All in all, very good. read more

The food is always really good. But the girls behind the counter tonight need to be spoken to about their behavior. I walked in and the girl at the register looked at me and nudged the girl who couldn't see me yet and she peeked around the wall at me and they both started laughing. And after I paid and turned to walk away, they started laughing again. I rarely do reviews, but this just made me feel very uncomfortable. Saturday night 1/17/2026 read more

I don't know why this place is called Hawaii Grill they don't serve any dish that I have ever seen at a Hawaiian restaurant. It's all just plain Asian American style take out but they throw pineapple in a couple dishes. If you don't have Katsu, Spam Musubi, Kalua Pork, Loco Moco, or not even Macaroni Salad for a side, it isn't a Hawaiian place in my opinion. I was super bummed when I saw the menu and it didn't have one Hawaiian dish. read more

When I saw Hawaiian Grill, I was really happy but upon going there and looking at the menu, there is not one straight up Hawaiian dish. No Kalua pork, no Siamin or Lau Lau. I ended up ordering the shrimp soup and it was ok! The name is misleading, it should of been Asian Fusion but definitely not Hawaiian Grill. We need a L&L Hawaiian BBQ here in Lafayette, LA really bad because it is straight Hawaiian food. read more

Let me start by saying the flavor of the food is great but not sure if it fits the name and the type of food it implies. The hawaian chicken was good sweet salty and tender. Rice and veggies great flavor. But not sure if it is Hawaiian taste a resembles a Chinese menu. Every Hawaiian menu I have ever seen has macaroni salad, katsu and definitely Loco Moco and they have none of this. All in all food isn't bad but it is typical of all the quick Chinese food that we have all around town nothing new like I hoped for. A missed opportunity for something new to the area. read more

What are the best things about Hawaii Grill ... let me count the ways I love this place. It's CLEAN. I mean they keep it REALLY clean. The staff are not just friendly, they are awesome. The decor is authentic to their theme. The food is fresh, hot and tasty. This is not the type of Asian cuisine where you get hard mystery meat bits. If you like your meal prepared just for you and guaranteed delicious, then stop by Hawaii Grill. If you don't, there are plenty of mediocre Asian restaurants in Lafayette. Just don't say I didn't tell you so. read more

Ate here between errands on a popular "romantic holiday' in February. Compared to the Cajun place next door they were pretty slow and quiet, but that was perfect for us. The food was good, hot, and fast. Fried rice and noodles were decent, but not amazing. We both loved the pan fried dumplings and our entrees (bourbon chicken and Hawaii chicken). Service was friendly and personalized. We typically try new to us places when in Lafayette, but wouldn't mind trying this one again if the opportunity arose. read more

Customer service was friendly too, which always makes the experience better. If you're craving a good bowl of ramen, Izumi is definitely the move. I'll for sure be back

The service is okay, not outstanding but not bad either. Takeout is also a great option here because they package the broth and noodles separately so the noodles don't get soggy.

The Cajun Table

Responding to Chelsa K.'s 1* review. As I am someone who was in the restaurant when it happened…read more I just think it's funny how you aren't mentioning y'all came in as 6 people and then wanted accommodations for 30 people during one of the busiest times of the night. Or that they argued with the amazing manager for nearly an hour total after being told they couldn't accommodate that size party. They're also leaving out the part where people from their group marched in and seated themselves, stood over occupied tables waiting for guests to leave, insisting the hosts clean the tables, and made the entire restaurant uncomfortable. This had nothing to do with race and everything to do with behavior. Any group acting like that would've gotten the exact same response. In short, do better. Y'all came in and ruined everyone's dinner because y'all don't know how to plan ahead. Stop blaming people for your mistakes and take accountability.

This restaurant is known for their crawfish unfortunately I visited for a weekday lunch and they…read morewere posting a sign on the doors after I had walked in stating they don't serve crawfish until 4pm weekdays, 3pm on weekends. This may have been part of the reason its wasn't all that busy on a Tuesday lunch. Similar to some other restaurants in Louisiana I've visited, they have a side with a bar, to-go area and high tops, and a more family oriented side of the restaurant with a bunch of low top tables. Fried pork rinds are served with every table. They have daily plate lunches and the one day I came it was chicken fried steak. However, it's not usually a good idea to order CFS outside of Texas in my experience. Therefore, I ended up ordering the catfish and shrimp platter, served grilled instead and added a $5 strawberry margarita. The entree comes with a side salad but they only have seelct dressings and none which I would typically order, so i just settled on honey mustard. Margarita- for only $5 it's not bad and comes with either sugar or salt rim Catfish and shrimp platter - seasoned with a blackened seasoning but it wasn't spicy. The catfish filet was small and tasted like it was previously frozen. The shrimp were also small and didn't taste much better. Not sure I'd return if ever in Lafayette, as I was really looking for a more festive environment and more grilled options.

I hope you are in the car on your way to Noodles and Dumplings before you finish reading my review…read more We will be coming here so often we will need to add a line item in our monthly budget for noodles. The dining room is light and inviting. We were immediately greeted by a friendly host. The kitchen is partially open so on our way to our table, we saw one of the chefs pulling the noodles. (Very fun for kids and adults I might add!) For starters, we ordered some boba tea. Not sure how often the flavors rotate, but you will have to ask for their flavors of the day. They had mango, taro, and Thai tea when we came in. We had the mango with colorful boba (more similar to a jelly IMO) and taro with brown sugar boba. Both were delicious, not too sweet. Beverly took great care of us the moment we sat down! Being that it was our first visit, she guided us around the menu and gave us suggestions along the way. We wanted to try the Deep Sea but unfortunately they were out. However, per Beverly's suggestion we ordered the Shrimp Tempura and it was very good. The tempura was well seasoned and the fry was crispy but not dry. We also had the Cream Cheese Wontons, Panfried Colorful Dumplings Combo and Beef Roll. Personally, of the four dumpling fillings, beef was my favorite. All four starters are a good choice, but if you leave without trying the Beef Roll, you are doing yourself a disservice. My recommendation from best to still very good: Beef Roll Shrimp Tempura Panfried Colorful Dumplings Cream Cheese Wontons For our main dish (only had room for one after all our starters), we ordered the Black Garlic Oil Ramen with pork belly. This ramen bowl is massive. We barely made a dent in it and we thought they would have to roll us out of the restaurant. The pork belly was also nicely seared thicker cut; none of that thin and overcooked pork belly some ramen places use. I am afraid I will not be trying their other ramen bowl simply because I loved this one so much that I cannot imagine eating here and not getting this black garlic ramen. The custard bao caught our eye so we had to order it to go. (This was when we considered whether we should have ordered less starters. The thought was fleeting as we are looking forward to all the leftovers in the fridge.) I was nervous that the custard would be overwhelmingly sweet. I was wrong, it was delicious even if its light dusting of sugar on top.

(From October 2025)…read more In the mood for noodles, YELP pulls this place up randomly and seeing the ratings, I placed a to-go order on their website for the stir-fried combo signapore noodles and the combo colorful pan-fried dumplings. About 25 minutes later, I get to the place and pick up the order and then get back to my hotel where I grub down. Both the dumplings and noodles are tasty good. The dumplings came in multiple colors with a nice crust on the bottom and packed with filling. I got caught off guard with the extra fried dough-residue attached to the dumplings but it didn't bother me. The order comes with 2 dumplings each of beef onion, pork scallion, chicken, and vegetable. The combo noodles has chicken, beef, and shrimp mixed in with onions and peppers and a soy-based sauce. IT's a hefty portion that gave me lunch for the next day. I'll have to try the noodle soups and other dumplings next time I'm here. Overall a solid asian eats spot in Lafayette.

I hate watery…read morelattes and I hate that artificial sweetener flavor or when all you taste is the syrup...what I do love is a creamy latte where you can taste the espresso, but also the right amount of sweetness. I haven't found many standout places. Until today! I'm visiting Lafayette and after a quick search, found Reve. I ordered a medium caramel and vanilla iced latte and added cold foam. I don't know any details of how anything was made, but it was so perfect. I'm a chronic never finisher of coffee, but I had to slow myself down to keep from finishing it within a couple minutes. The cold foam wasn't sweetened, which worried me, but after swirling it all together, it was just the perfect latte. The syrups didn't have any of the ickyness you sometimes find (maybe they're house made? I didn't ask) and the cold foam made for the most perfect consistency. I'm no coffee purist, but if you like a yummy drink that I don't think was over the top sweet, this was an amazing order!
