When traveling my go-to food is Hawaiian BBQ since I can get a quality protein and some steamed veggies. I really enjoyed their Teri- Chicken, very flavorful, juicy and delicious. The BBQ Mix- the BBQ Chicken was very good and so was the BBQ beef. In addition I loved the mixed of steamed veggies it came with. On a side note, although I was going lower carb for my meal tonight, I tried the ride and the max salad so I could compare to other Hawaiin Bbq places I like. The ride seemed old, some of it was hard and it was luke warm at best. The Mac salad was my least favorite item on my plate. I usually inhale it from other places but the mac salad today has no flavor and I could only eat one fork of it. Overall good experience, I'd eat here again. read more

This is my absolute go-to when I want crunchy protein for a good price. I want to give this place a legit shout-out for everyone to try their chicken katsu. Crunchy outside, meaty, and tasty. They make it fast and for a decent price. They've been in this plaza forever and I hope they stay there. I go at least every couple of weeks here. read more

Really good, considering the price and the ridiculous amount of food you get. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Not the "best", but you gotta keep perspective. This is a casual dining spot, not a fancy restaurant![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The young gentleman working the register was helpful and friendly. He made some menu suggestions based on what we wanted. Our order took about 10 minutes to assemble on a weekday morning. We got the family meal ($47.99), but subbed rice for extra veggies. There's no charge for this and it's an easy way to make Hawaiian food, uh, a little less unhealthy. They did a great job on the veggies - simple broccoli and cabbage, lightly steamed, fresh and crisp, well cleaned and not overly salted/oily. Mac salad was also a winner. Very simple flavor profile, right in the middle, making it pair well with everything. Not too sweet, not too salty, just tender macaroni that wasn't mushy. Kalua pork was mildly seasoned and cooked until tender. It doesn't seem as greasy as other cuts of pork, so felt a bit "dry". DH's tip is to pair it with the mac salad. Garlic shrimp (add extra $3) was a favorite. It definitely had the most flavor, since it used fresh garlic and onions. The shrimp were a good size, not "crisp", but acceptable for a casual dining spot. Wish it had more "wok hei", or pan-fried flavor. Kalbi short ribs (add extra $3) were pretty good. Lol, of course we've had better at Korean restaurants, but that was like twice the price! DH said it could've used more char. The family meal included 3 choices. We also got a separate BBQ chicken plate ($13.99), also subbing rice for veggie. I really liked the chicken, especially with a little drizzle of teriyaki sauce. It was flattened and they got pretty good browning on the pieces. The plate also came with a scoop of mac salad. Lumpia 6 pieces ($6.99) was a special request from little one, who saw it featured in a cartoon with a Filipino family. Honestly surprised by this one...seems fairly authentic with the smaller rolls and even came with the sweet and sour sauce! Doesn't have quite the depth of flavor as homemade ones, but it's close. Tip: for take-out, you need to package your own sauce!! There are two pump dispensers next to the soda machine - one for teriyaki, one for katsu sauce. They have small plastic containers with lids. Be sure the lid is securely fastened! Overall, a great place for take out or casual dining, especially if you're hungry and on a budget. Scratches that Hawaiian food craving! read more

I just placed a to-go order for a family meal, and unfortunately the customer service was extremely disappointing. The employee working the front counter was rude, impatient, and appeared annoyed throughout the interaction. While placing my order, I was still deciding between a few options, and instead of being helpful or welcoming, she seemed visibly frustrated and inconvenienced by my questions. Her attitude made me feel like my business was not appreciated. My family and I have frequented this restaurant many times, but after this experience, this will likely be our last visit. Good food can only go so far when customers are treated poorly. I hope management addresses this issue and provides additional customer service training, as no customer should feel unwelcome when placing a simple order. read more

horrible customer service! changed one thing about my order before she inputted it in and she said kitchen was already making it. lol such a joke! you wanna treat ppl like that then work a remote job! period! read more

This place never gives enough sauce for DoorDash orders. It's a sealed bag from the restaurant and sometimes you're lucky to get one 2oz sauce. Pretty terrible, just give 2 sauces per order and charge us without having to buy it separately. read more

Ordered the Teriyaki Chicken mini meal plate lunch. The dish was excellent with generous portions of bite sized quality chicken thighs. The Teriyaki sauce was flavorful without being too salty. The broccoli, Macaroni salad and rice were perfect. This is a great tasting value lunch. The price is super reasonable at $11.99 read more

Our golf group stopped in after golf to grab a quick lunch. One of our group members said they have a good Kalbe plate. So we all got the Korean kalbe plate with a Diet Coke. The kalbe plate comes with three large grilled Korean short rib slabs with white rice, macaroni salad, and some blanched veggies all for $17. The short ribs were tender but could have had a little more char. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Hawaiian Grill Express is located off of Fallon Rd. In the Target / Lucky's shopping center. No frills, fast food style but has some table and chairs for dining in. Plenty of parking.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Went school shopping & decided to try to get something quick. The staff was friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It seemed like an ordinary fast Hawaiian spot... I think some music would have added to the experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Their beef is really good! I'd definitely order that when I'm back. Chicken was good as well. I got the combo plate, but their ribs were really chewy. Overall, wasn't bad, was super quick. read more

My food was horrible... it was my first time in. The customer service wasn't bad or good. I ordered the Teriyaki chicken plate with a side Asian salad. The Asian salad wasn't what it said on the menu at all. It was just a side salad. No shredded cabbage or shredded lettuce. The teriyaki sauce was so water down, it had no flavor, neither did my macaroni salad. The chicken didn't have the char flavor I love and they charged me $1.99 for a huge side of salad dressing when I asked for another small size. To top it off there was a hair in my salad, so I didn't even eat it. I won't be back... read more

Excellent Hawaiian plate lunch place with good-sized portions and easy takeout service. We catered a work lunch and tried a variety of their lunch options. The kalbi ribs which were meaty and well marinated, and sat on top of boiled cabbage and steamed broccoli, and served with rice and pretty authentic macaroni salad. The lau lau included succulent chucks of fatty and lean pork and was steamed well. The chicken katsu was crispy and tender, although the Kailua port was a bit salty and dry. We enjoyed the spam musubi which has a tasty teriyaki glaze and generous portion of rice. The potstickers were also well cooked and has a mixed meat-vegetable filling. The loco moco included well-done beef patties and nicely cooked over easy eggs and a rich brown gravy. Overall, they were also easy to work with and looking forward to eating there again soon! read more

Hawaiian Grill Express via Door dash to my hotel was quick and good. I ordered the chicken katsu and barbecue mixed grill and both were very good. They prepared my order very quickly and Door Dash delivered to my room within twenty minutes of ordering. The serving size was quite substantial. Each come with the meat served on top of cabbage, with a side of macaroni salad and white rice. The chicken katsu should be delivered witn some condiment, but one will appreciate the crispness of the katsu. A sauce would be the perfect compliment to that crispy textured chicken. That would put the katsu over the top and allow this to compete with most katsu you will have. The barbecue mixed grill cones with the chicken, pork, and beef short ribs cut Korean style. Here the sweet and tangy barbecue sauce lifts the flavor dramatically; though, the flavor, quality and tenderness of the meat offerings seem to stand on their own. With each dish coming in under twenty bucks, this was a very good value and the taste would appeal to most anyone's palate. The speed of the preparation and delivery were exemplary for an early Saturday evening. Moreover, they do not skimp on the meat. Each dish or platter is enough for the hungriest of appetites. Two people could share one platter actually and the overall experience is very satisfying and satiating. Four stars! read more

This is the best Hawaiian food place I've ever had!! The taste is consistent and the portions are perfect. You will not be disappointed if you give this place a try. This is our go to Hawaiian food spot! read more

This used to be my go to place for a plate lunch not anymore. They were getting stingy on the portions which I can deal with but the food quality has gone done hill big time. The chicken Katsu looks and taste like it has been refried too many times . The BBq chicken also was overcooked and stringy. My final realization just need to make it at home. read more

This place is a step up from L&L Hawaiian. L&L fluctuates a lot depending on who the franchise owner is. We stopped trusting the consistency when our Orange County location started to have heavy onions, less meat. I think that one may have closed... Anyway, this place is nothing like that! We usually order the Mixed BBQ that comes with shortribs, beef and chicken. It comes with double scoop rice, one scoop macaroni salad but we switch to get 2 scoops of the macaroni. Yum yum yum. Help yourself to teriyaki sauce. When we got it last Friday, we both received heavy on the chicken and a little less beef and shortribs than usual. It was still good but my husband's favorite is shortribs and mine is beef. If you have a particular meat fondness, probably just get that instead of the mixed plate. And definitely double up on the macaroni salad! read more

We ordered food for my company's All Hands meeting. The food was fresh and delicious. All the food was gone before the end of the meeting and they were wanting more. read more

I really craves for Hawaiian and saw this show up for me on DoorDash, so I decided to give them a try. BBQ Chicken: I have eaten this before, so I know what to expect in general. They gave ample amount of chicken and veggies. The Mac salad was delicious and not too much Mayo in them. The rice was dry, which I enjoyed. The chicken flavor has the bbq taste behind it and was simple. My only gripe was that I couldn't get any teriyaki sauce with my meal, so it was rather dry. It was a bit tough to eat without some kind of sauce. Otherwise, not too bad. I can see myself ordering this again, but maybe something else if I am doordashing read more

Swell! I ate here yesterday after not knowing what to eat & I was quite satisfied. My fiancé & i's meal wasn't too pricey, came with lots of food, and was pretty good overall. For 2 people, it was a little over $30 for their combo plates which consisted of 2 scoops of rice, macaroni, and the meat with a bedding of veggies on the bottom. The container was full! The rice was made well as well as the macaroni. The meat was soft and moist, I just hoped it was a little more flavor but it was good nonetheless; possibly just needed more salt, honestly. Overall, if you're looking for some Hawaiian food, that is made quick and tasty, and in a decent price range, this is a good spot! read more

This place was pretty good. Comparable to L&L. I found the food here was seasoned a little better than other places. Portion size was good as well. Leaving off a star because they didn't give me any katsu sauce which is extremely irritating. Especially when they don't take special requests on doordash and they don't have options to purchase extra sauces. The flavors of the meats and the mac salad were pretty good though so i wasn't that mad about the sauce missing but still would have liked to have it read more

Hawaiian Grill Express - Chicken Combo. No sauce :( - Hawaiian Near Me - Dublin, California

Stopped here for a quick late lunch. The customer service wasn't great. Chicken Katsu ($11.99) - the katsu was super crispy and the chicken was tender. The rice was extremely mushy though so didn't eat much of that. Kaula Pork ($12.99) - forgot to take a photo but the pork had no flavor. It was a little dry so I poured a lot of katsu sauce on this. Again rice was mushy so only ate the macaroni salad. Macaroni salad was okay. Overall, the portions are pretty good for the price point. read more

Been here many times over the years and have always left feeling satisfied. The food quality has always been great and very importantly, they don't overcook the meat! I came here for lunch because I ran some errands; and the combo meal really hit the spot. The chicken combo or the seafood one are both delicious! The staff is courteous and professional and service swift. What more to ask for? read more

Pretty good if you want something very quick and filling. Food came out in just a few minutes, and there was more than enough for one hungry guy. However, the pieces of chicken definitely still had some unpleasant chunks of fat attached, and even more sad was the Katsu had no sauce. The taste was fine, but would go elsewhere if I had more time to spare read more

Ordered through door dash twice now, never had any issues and they always follow the instructions I give on the dishes! - Short ribs are my go to. Thicker cut but never chewy. - Double up on the mac for me. - spam musubi: The rice needs a little more sauce but satisfies the craving when I have it. the spam needs a little more time on the grille. Only reason I'm dinging 1 star is the veggies they include are always overcooked and super bland, they're just steamed. read more
