    Honolulu Chicken and Kalua Pork.
    Joyce W.

    Let's lei it on thick. Get it? Lei? Like a flower lei? Okay okay, I'll stop. The exterior caught my eye but this is one of the place where I should have kept driving. The tiniest scoops of the world saltiest mac salad is served here. I regret buying an extra serving of that mac salad because it was too salty to eat. I could feel my arteries hardening by the second bite. Dean and Sam Winchester would approve of this place because no ghosts would be around in a three-block radius. The kalua pork was okay but that Honolulu chicken is a hard pass. As for the $1.99 white chocolate macadamia nut cookie? It was okay. I wish it was warmed but it is what it is. The ASU area has way too many good eats to for me to stop by here again. It's a one-and-done for me for sure. E kala mai.

    I'm never in the ASU area so even though I had just picked up lunch, this place called to me. I was sold by the typeface and exterior but I really should have trusted the Yelp reviews. Never in my life have I been so disappointed by Hawaiian BBQ. I shared a plate with Honolulu Chicken and Kalua Pork. We bought an extra scoop of macaroni salad on the side along with a macadamia nut chicken. I was so surprised by how small the portions were. Even with rice underneath the entrees, it was still pretty meagar. The meats themselves were ovely salty. The macaroni salad was also insanely salty. I appreciated the black pepper in it but where were the vegetables? As for the cookie, it was a standard cookie. Nothing you have to get but still a decent sweet treat. Order at the one out of two self-service, wait for them tho call your name, and pick up your food at the pick-up window. There was one guy by the front that will assist you if you need help. One and don't. Not for me.

    For starters, I was pretty satisfied with my portion sizes contrary to some other reviews on here. The Pineapple BBQ sauce and siracha was good but I hate to admit everything else was pretty mid. The Mac salad had too much mayo, the noodles were over cooked and the absence of any crunchy vegetables like carrots or celery were missed heavily! This just tastes like a mouthful of warm mayo, not pleasant at all. The meat was just okay. I couldn't tell it was grilled. It had no grill flavor, you could've told me it was baked and I would've believed you. Also, a tad too sweet for my liking. I hate to say it but there are far better options for Hawaiian BBQ in the area, hell I'd rather get teriyaki chicken at Panda Express down the street. Unfortunately, I have no desire to come back to this place.

    It's a no go for me. For the price point, portion size was super small. The chicken had good flavor but was severely over cooked and dry. Not to mention, the green onions were missing. The macaroni salad was swimming in grease and hot. I won't be back but was glad I gave it a try.

    So much oil all over the box and in it
    Kayla N.

    Usually so good, but last two orders were not good. Covered in oil and wrong items, one item completely missing all together.

    Located inside of "Tempe Food Court", a ghost kitchen "food court", we ordered 3 places. This was one of them. The food wasn't bad, actually. The Honolulu Chicken was decently seasoned, and the chicken was high-quality. The "Luau Pig" (pork) was on the fattier side. I agree with previous reviews that describe the mac salad as "runny". Not sure I've ever experienced that before.

    Classic - Mixed Plate with Huli Huli Chicken and Seasoned Vegetables

    I had a great delivery of Hawaiian bros! I got the mixed plate with huli huli chicken and seasoned vegetables. It was the only thing that sounded FIRE after gardening

    Musubi

    Does this look like musubi? Whatever you call it??? I open the bag and it smelled burnt. The Mac salad was not good. Overcooked pasta and peppery. I was hoping this place would be better than the franchises but nope. =[[[ work on the Mac salad... and of yall don't have seaweed cancel the order. What is this????

This might be the BEST Hawaiian food I have ever had. It was SO good. We both got combo plates: mine was with katsu, char siu, spicy garlic chicken, and BBQ beef; my husband got the same, except instead of katsu, he got kalbi ribs. It was fantastic! All of the meats tasted so good, the mac salad was delicious and everything has top tier quality and taste. But I think my favorite and the star of the show is the poké. We tried two different kinds: a half pound of Hawaiian style (right) and a half pound of fried crunchy garlic (left). OMG it was heavenly! Such fresh fish and amazing flavors. I absolutely LOVED them both and wanted to eat pounds of it if I could. I want to try ALL the flavors! They had about six different poké flavors and indicated that the Surprise location would have way more, roughly double that and I am so excited about that. They also have bento boxes, burgers, poke bowls, lumpia, spam musubi (including deep fried), and an assortment of desserts. They also do weekly rotating specials; this week was loco moco specials and there were a lot of different ones to try. Chef Blaise Aki came to our table and chatted with us and he is awesome. Takes pride in his food and his customer service (which was top notch, by the way). He is an awesome chef and his food is amazing! Such a good experience and I cannot WAIT until they are in Surprise!

Not sure what the cashier heard but when we checked the plate, it had sautéed cabbage instead of extra mac. Brought it to the cashiers attention and she apologized and said that was her fault. She provided another scoop. My husband said it wasn't bad and he knows his teriyaki. He did say that the extra teriyaki sauce I got helped as it was slightly dry. They also gave a lot of the bbq meat. He ran out of rice so I gave him some of mine . I ordered an Aloha Plate Combo which is a 2 choice plate from a set list and toss salad instead of mac. I got the Shrimp & Island Fire Chicken. The shrimp was okay, panko fried. The island fire chicken was a sautéed chicken with onions in a spicy sauce. It was an okay plate, nothing that really wowed. There was so much sauce on the chicken, it was hard to tell how much chicken there actually was. I also ordered 2 spam musubi for the plane as we had an early flight the next day. The rice was dry so the musubi kind of fell apart. It was recommended to eat wirh the Katsu sauce so I had a small cup in the container. It was a lot better with the sauce. Overall, if we ever do go again, I would pick something else for myself however it is a limited menu. It would be difficult for them to compete with Panda Express 3 doors down.

    SENTRY - WATCHING RESTAURANTS…read more Hawaiian Bros 4445 E Thomas Road Phoenix 85018 It was lunch time and companion and I were passing by and decided to stop. This is a relatively new store with a new concept. I enjoy good Hawaiian food if it is authentic as served in the islands. The most common is called the plate lunch. In Hawaii it consists of your protein, and usually 2 scoops of potato salad and a scoop of macaroni salad. Not exactly the right meal for a carb conscious person, but definitely a tasty meal. On entering this store we immediately noticed that there was no place to order from. Instead, there were large computer screens with items you could select from. While I am not from the modern generation that is fully computer literate, I had no problem figuring it out and ordering. I ordered the Kilauea Chicken Classic and a bottle of water. Companion ordered the Molokai Chicken Classic and a Coke Zero. Everything in the place is made for easy cleaning and non destructivity. The chairs are made of metal and are one size fits all. Unfortunately, they are extremely uncomfortable to sit in and if your rear appendage is slightly on the larger side it will not fit in any way and you will be left sitting on the edge of the chair. In due course our food arrived in plastic boxes. Not the end of the world, but it would have been nice if they had been marked so we knew which was which. Because the flavors were so similar it took a bit of time to figure out the foods. The Kilauea Chicken was O.K. but nothing to write home about. It came on a bed of rice along with a ball of rice and some macaroni salad that was great. Creamy and made like that served in the islands. The Molokai Chicken bordered on inedible. It was so overcooked that I had to stop and buy toothpicks on my way to remove the remnants from my teeth. Once again, it was served over rice with a ball of rice and the same, excellent macaroni salad. The macaroni salad was the best part of the meal! Serving protein over rice and then adding another ball of rice is ridiculous. 2 Stars
