Never order any pick up/ delivery. They will mistreat your order severely. I have ordered twice and both times they missed items and gave small portions. Reached out to a manager and they replied willing to reconcile but didn't follow through. read more

Drove up to Hawaiian time today, handwritten sign on the door says not opening at 11 AM. The door was unlocked, it's 11:20am. So, I went in. No one came to the register. Now, it's 11:30. Finally the cook behind the counter says, "We're not open." Another customer walks in from an online food order and says "Is my food ready?" What appeared as a manager, says "Not for another 15 minutes or so." Guy asks for a refund. Meanwhile, cars pulling up to go inside to place orders. Not sure what happened here. But, I won't be going back. read more

Better call first and make sure they will take your order before you drive 20 minutes on a Friday at 1:00pm. Came in and waited 5 minutes just to be told they aren't taking any orders. What kind of business is that. Lobby wasn't even full. read more

I wish the service was a bit better. I find my order is always a little wrong regardless of if I go in-person, drive-thru, or order on doordash. Having said that the food is always good. I often crave their mac salad. I fear their mac salad is better than the other local Hawaiian options in Salem I've tried so far. Their meat is on the dry side. read more

Yummy! This is a restaurant that is both delicious and reasonably healthy, very little wait time at all to order and get your food. I LOVE the Huli Huli chicken and macaroni salad. The rice isn't bad either. read more

Went to this location and had a horrible experience. We ordered a Ali and a regular size of the huli huli chicken. For the regular I requested no Mac extra rice and instead for double Mac. The fixed this no problem. However we ordered two drinks and when we went to get them we found that the machine was out of carbonation and syrup so we let them know and after waiting a good ten-fifteen minutes with them trying to fix it we went to the counter and requested a refund as it would not be ready during our stay. The worker Bella who I assume is the manager on shift or shift lead was extremely rude when we declined her offer for us to get one of the Hawaiian sun drinks due to medical dietary needs. Practically threw the paper with the refund at my friend and then refused to give a corporate number or number to her supervisor. Food was extremely dry and flavorless, soda machine was disgusting, multiple lights were out, multiple tables were dirty despite having just opened. Clearly this restaurant is not ran well and the employees need to be retrained on customer service. read more

Drove here to get Kahlúa pig at 2:45 to find are out of it. What a joke. Nice I came here for no reason. It's not even close to dinner time and they are out and don't make more. read more

Amazing service every time I come in. The food is always good. Veggies are always fresh and the price is amazing.

The food is delicious . Really friendly staff and they provide great service! They can get really busy at times so not the fastest option, but it's always been worth the wait read more

went for dinner last night with family and and they screwed up on every single order that was there and then the manager that was on duty last night decided to give a big thing of rice when I only needed a little bit for my dinner customer service was kind of OK but the manager was rude and a jerk didn't like it won't be going back for a long time if we go back read more

I had ordered from here Friday (01/15/2021) for my other half and I, I was not disappointed in the least. I've been wanting to try this place for so long and have heard so many great things. I was able to finally experience this all first hand! The food was very tasty Presentation was on point The portions were pretty stellar too! We will be returning and will be regulars! Thank you! read more

The food is really good I go there anytime I am in Salem. The service is ok sometimes they forget the forks but they are nice people.

Update: 6/24/2020 tried this location again and take out was a mess, sauce all over the bag, absolutely ridiculous. This SUCKS! Because their food is good, but their attention to detail sucks! This was my new favorite restaurant. But the last two visits have ended in disappointment. Both times all they had was chicken. No pork, no beef. What the heck? One visit was dinner time and another was lunch. I'm about done wasting my tile with this place. Also the empseem mad at the world. read more

Hawaiian Time - ##6. Mauna Loa Chicken Plate Lunch - Hawaiian Near Me - Salem, Oregon

Hawaiian time has really gone down hill. We've tried several times every few days to go and get food from them. They're never open when their hours say they are. We even try calling before going and they just let their phone ring, poor customer service in my opinion. Which is a bummer because we really enjoy their food. I don't think we will continue supporting them from now on. read more

Apparently they can't stay true to the hours they have posted. I have wasted my time driving here multiple times just to find out they are closed before 7pm on a week night when it says they're open till 9pm online AND their doors. Absolute joke of an establishment. They also have no idea how to answer a phone. read more

One of my all time favorites! The Huli Huli chicken is so amazing. I know they took a hit to their staffing during Covid but they're getting it all back these days. Food is delicious, portions are great, menu has great choices. Yes their prices went up a bit after Covid but everything else in world went up so that's not surprising. I'm still completely willing to pay their prices for the food. read more

The staff playing and yelling from the kitchen. No drinks no beef no service. Middle of day so I assume the manager is part of playtime. read more

Hawaiian Time - Very small amount of food for 8.50. Half the size and twice as sloppy. - Hawaiian Near Me - Salem, Oregon

This was a go to lunch place with some former coworkers but I haven't been since COVID. Was looking for something to be delivered for lunch and was excited to see they deliver to my address (I live a little off the beaten path) My husband and I each had the Kalua Pork lunch plate. I substituted mac for his rice as he is not a rice fan. Not sure if it was the packing or the driving but his sauce had completely spilled out of the container, luckily it didn't spill into the mac. The food was just what we wanted on a stormy, wet New Years Day. Now that I know that we can get contactless delivery, we will be back for sure. read more

We came from Hawaii less than a year ago. I guess the creator calls it Authentic Hawaiian plate lunches, but I tell you, it is so far from authentic, it tastes strictly Mainland. The only thing authentic is the names of some of the food. They have a Regular size plate, Alii (which offers three scoops) and Dakine (which is super small). Dakine does not mean small in Hawaiian pidgin. The teriyaki sauce tasted like shoyu and some sugar, and was extremely watery. Teri sauce is usually syrupy, thick like pancake syrup. The Mac salad was salty, mayonaissy, and peppery. My husband got the teriyaki beef and kalua pig. The Teriyaki beef was not cut like back home. It was small pieces like bulgogi, and was lacking ginger. They didn't have lomi lomi with the kalua pig. And needless to say, the whole restaurant was lacking Polynesians. The hāole girl at the counter didn't even understand what my man was saying. When I worked in a Japanese grocery store, I learned the lingo. How else do you give authenticity. Hawaiian Time is definitely on some Hawaiian Time. I bet the workers don't even know what the phrase "Hawaiian Time" means. Never again. It was rubbish to put it nicely. PS They offer huli huli chicken, which has a distinct scent. I did not smell huli huli in the building at all. Also, the pics others posted of huli huli chicken looks nothing like huli huli chicken. It looks like a wtf... read more

3ed time they have messed up my order. I Called and told the person on the phone that our order had been messed up the last two times we have ordered from them and for them to please take note of exactly what I wanted. He told me he was the manager and he would make sure it was done properly!! I Ordered chicken and vegetables with extra chicken no rice and only one scoop of macaroni and I wanted two orders of that. Sent with extra teriyaki sauce. delivery guy gets here and I have no sauce whatsoever. Which every order I have gotten has always had sauce in it when I didn't ask for extra sauce. ‍ So I call asked to speak to the manager. He said well I know your order was done right because I made it. I said OK but I wanted the sauces and I didn't get any. He said OK well this is on the cashiers to put the sauce in. I said so it is the cashier's fault? ‍‍ I asked him if he could reimburse us some of the money or give us a gift certificate for our next time or something because this is the third time something has happened. I spent $29 on 2 orders and paid delivery $6. He said No he didn't see that it was ok to do that just because of it missing sauces. The point is it has happened 3 times now. Lesson learned I guess. Not how I would handle things at any of the restaurants or bars I have worked at but to each their own I guess. Not returning read more

I am not sure if it was an off day or what but our experience was not that great. When we arrived there was maybe like 8 other people sitting down eating and most of the tables were dirty and hadn't been cleaned for people to dine at. They had no ice and no soda machine and offered luke warm water. My chicken was just ok it was really fatty and dry . The rice and the mac salad was good. The windows were filthy and the place needed a good mopping. read more

Driving around doing various stuff in the Mission Street area, i thought i would try out this place.. Have no real idea about this style if food. Went in and its an order at the counter type place then they bring your grub. I ordered the Huli Huli Chicken with a side of macaroni salad..and rice. Food came fast and they gave a nice amount of chicken but way too much white rice..small bit of mac, they should do more mac then rice. Chicken was nice, mac salad was OK but didnt strike me as being anything specially "hawaiian". Place wasnt too clean. Average..if you love white rice you will love this place. read more

ive tried a lot of Hawaiian food and this is some of the worst! the service was alright at best. and it took forever read more

Pretty gosh darn great! I ended up getting the grilled teryaki chicken with vegetables - which were sautéed perfectly--the chicken with a crispy outside yet tender inside. Generous portions of the rice and macaroni as well. Service was super quick and best of all just 8.95--a smokin deal! read more

I patronize this location and the one on Wallace. There is more parking at this location but more venues too, and the slots are tight for a full-sized truck. They can get super busy around the lunch hour and I was spooked by the difficulty of social distancing, last visit. Clerks are pleasant, and they have a table with free masks for patrons who have forgotten theirs. I'm a big eater for a senior but even their smallest size is a heavy meal for me. read more

More than 5 stars for the food! The teriyaki sauce was so good that I want to go again! And the large lunch plate was around $13. That is a good price. Must recommend this place! read more

Was so impressed with the manager at this location. I asked for something custom about my meal and it was misunderstood. The manager personally came to apologize and offered to remake my meal. He also gave me the order that wasn't made correctly (which was very good). The food was great and the service was excellent. So nice to see a manager who cares so much about his customers. I feel very good about this Hawaiian Time and would definitely recommend it. read more

Excellent food and we will be back. The macaroni salad is one of the best I have ever had. I would like to see the outside of the place cleaner. We went on the drive through and there were boxes and garbage all over the place and not thrown in dumpster. Made me wonder if they keep the kitchen the same way. read more

Who doesn't like things Hawaiian? Not many people. From what I've experienced, Hawaiian and Polynesian food tends to be tasty, filling, and features delicious glazes and seasonings. With that in mind, stopping in to eat at Hawaiian Time along OR-22 where it has a name, west of I-5 slightly before it takes one into the center of Salem, seemed like a plausible idea. I had Hawaiian Time's huli huli chicken, served as a combination, along with a soft drink from their machine. Huli huli chicken is essentially their teriyaki chicken and it was good. The quantity of meat provided was also respectable. The other items rounding out the combination platter are white rice and macaroni salad. The white rice was just sort of there, unless kicked into gear with some soy sauce. The macaroni salad tended toward the sweeter side, but it was very tasty. The service was routine and forgettable, meaning there were no issues. The price was reasonable, as was the wait time for them to call out your order. The Hawaiian Time store sits back in a strip mall and, once you've pulled into the strip mall, you can't miss the store, owing to the Hawaiian floral motif painted onto the stucco walls. Inside, the eating area is spartan, but it's also very airy because of windows both in the front and the back, as well as tall ceilings. Because of this and the cleanliness, you might want to eat your food here and, whether you eat there or take out, the food will be given to you into this interesting recyclable clam shell. O.k., I see I forgot to involve L.A. in this discussion. First, one can't argue with Hawaiian backyard luau type food and the good food had at the tacky Polynesian dives of yesteryear's Los Angeles. That's where and when I discovered this type of food. Second, it's weird that I grew up in the mainland U.S. city that is the most connected to the Hawaiian Islands in terms of flights, yet I've never been to Hawai'i, always opting to go to Florida instead. Third, remember those stupid teenage "books and authors" jokes, like "Under the Bleachers by Seymour Butts" or "Down the Yellow River by I.P. Freely?" Well, as I pondered eating here, the joke from that very stupid teenage collection of jokes entitled "Hawaiian Pleasure by Kamanawanalea" came to mind! Well, it's time to grow up, so maybe it's better to phrase it this way: Q: "What time is it?" A: "Hawaiian Time." I'd say I'm at 3.5 stars with this branch of 7 Hawaiian Time stores in Oregon's Willamette Valley, with that being the overall rating for this store to begin with. I wouldn't say I'm a fan, but Hawaiian Time is definitely ok and I would eat here again. I'm giving this place a very strong 3 stars. read more

Always speedy to get food out. I recommend #3 on the menu to everyone I take here. The food is very good and the portion size of the regular is very decent. It's usually pretty clean and usually when I go there isn't much of a line. read more

This place is so not Hawaiian Time I tell you kanakas. It is the run of the mill if not a fallen off with shoyu and sugar flavored teriyaki. No lomi salmon to go with the L&L style production line kalua pig. Mac salad is salty and no more the right taste besides salt pepper and mayo. Not even mixed good. Sorry but this will be my last visit to Hawaiian Time. I am Kanaka and will say this isn't Hawaiian Kine Grindz, not even close. The supposed teriyaki and kalua pig mix. Close da mouth not broke da mouth. read more
