Came by Hilo Hawaiian BBQ on a Friday night and was surprised it wasn't busier because the food here is always pretty good! I've been let down recently by a certain other Hawaiian BBQ spot (you know the one), but Hilo has always been very consistent in terms of service and quality. I ordered the two-piece Spam musubi, and it was on point. No complaints. I also got the chicken katsu, which was cooked perfectly, crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. It came with rice and two scoops of mac salad, and the mac was flavorful. My wife had the BBQ mix, and the portion size was nice. She really enjoyed everything on her plate, and it was clear they didn't skimp on quality or quantity. Prices are still very reasonable, which is getting harder to find these days. Definitely planning to make this one of my go-to spots whenever the craving for Hawaiian BBQ hits. Good food, fair prices, and a quiet spot to enjoy a comforting meal. read more

We usually come here when in the area and crave some Bbq chicken and Spam Wasabi. Today we ordered for entire family and ordered some of the same food other Hawaiian restaurant's have. We got Bbq chicken, Bbq Beef and Chicken Katsu. The family meal also came with rice and Mac salad. The portions was smaller than others but it was enough for 4-5 people. Place is clean, has restrooms and enough tables to dine in. For a small plate it's worth it and moderate as far as price. If you're going for a family meal maybe go somewhere else you might get more for the money. read more

We came here last week to pick up the family meal deal. It is a good deal and comes with a lot of food (rice, veggie, mac salad and 3 protein) and we also order two orders of spam musubi comes with two pieces in each order. It was my first time getting the family meal deal and compared to another place this one is just ok for the portion. It was just enough for four people. Everything was packaged up nicely too. I do know their mini meals and regular sized meals are very generous portions. read more

We've been eating here for the last few years and it's always delicious and fresh. The best Mac salad! The mixed bbq plate is so good and a big plate ! Spam musabi is so tasty as well. The chicken Kat-su is hella good too !! Staff is always kind and love that they have all the sauce read more

My dad was craving short ribs and this is one of the closer Hawaiian spots in American Canyon. We came here on a Sunday afternoon for lunch and it was empty, they cook and prepare your food as you order. It wasn't busy and our food came out fresh. I personally like short ribs, the side sauce made it a little more tasty, came with rice and their macaroni salad is just ok to me. My mom go the seafood combo plate which comes with shrimp, fish, calamari, and chicken. It was fresh. I don't think I've tried their spam masubis here but I think it's a competitor to L&L in Vallejo. This location has been here for many years so I'm glad to see it still thriving in this plaza close to super Wal mart. There's plenty of parking! You can also choose to sit outside, there are tables and you can order online, at the kiosk, or online. read more

Hilo Hawaiian BBQ - Teriyaki and Katsu chicken - Hawaiian Near Me - American Canyon, California

I had a very disappointing experience during my recent visit. My niece politely asked an employee or manager for a to-go box, and instead of a simple "please wait" or acknowledgment, he responded rudely. There was no one else in the lobby, so the place wasn't busy, yet he still took his time before coming out from the kitchen area. Even then, he didn't give her a box--I had to go up myself and ask again. When he finally handed it to me, he did so with an attitude that made it clear he was upset. I understand that everyone can have a bad day, but when working in customer service, professionalism should still be maintained. It's disappointing to feel unwelcome, especially in a place that should value its patrons and encourage them to return. read more

Food is delicious, fresh and made to order. Nice place to sit and eat. Service is okay .

It seems this place has gone downhill quite a bit over the years. My son was craving spam musubi and we were nearby so I figured why not. I got him the $9.99 chicken katsu bowl, comes with a can of soda so not a bad deal. He liked it, no complaints. I got the chicken combo for $10.99 +.50 up charge for double mac. Food was ok, but I remember it being better and their cabbage used to be really good, now it's just crunchy and greasy for no reason. Spam musubi was disappointing and skimpy on the spam (Quickly has way better spam musubi) but $5.75 for 2 pieces was not a bad price compared to other places. Service was ok, I like the free lemon water dispenser on the side. I may give this place another chance in the future. Hopefully I was just there at a bad time. read more

10/10 teriyaki chicken with fried rice and crab lagoon so good comes fresh and hot thank you

Always satisfying! The chicken combo with macaroni salad is sooo good. We also love all of their sauces. We had so much we ate it the next day for lunch. Yes, we will be back! read more

I haven't been here in over 2 years and I'm not sure when exactly it went downhill.. last night I had a bbq mix the rice was hard the meat was so chewy the Mac was bland .. I got one side order of Katsu chicken the meat was tender but the breading was soggy and not crispy.. over all I'll definitely be passing on this place from now on .. read more

I ordered the chicken combo. I ordered online which made it a lot easier. You have the option to opt out of the standard two scoops of rice and one scoop of Mac and change it to whatever combo you like to all rice/Mac or half and half (additional pricing based off of choice). I did get more bbq chicken than katsu which was about three thighs of bbq chicken to the one in a half of katsu chicken. The sauce they give you isn't much at all. It's half of the standard to go size of most restaurants and they weren't filled to the top. Their teriyaki sauce wasn't my favorite and wasn't really sweet. I didn't like it at all so I didn't even bother with it. Although the chicken thighs were juicy and flavorful enough I didn't need a sauce. Katsu sauce was better. read more

My favorite location for authentic delicious hamburger steak with gravy. Unlike other local spots, the gravy has a nice consistency and flavor. The hamburger patty is hand formed and not pre made. As of today they have closed the dining room, but are serving to go orders. You can use your smartphone or their tablet on the counter. There are a few tables out in the patio. read more

Best Hawaiian BBQ around. There Teriyaki chickens and macaroni is the best. The employees are always happy and greet with a smile.

I recognize in a lot of reviews, here and other restaurants, people make such a big fuss about someone not saying hello (greeting and bowing to their knees for them) with a big smile to them. I assume you must feel that you are privileged, and are so used to people patting you on the back and kissing your pinky ring wherever you go. I could care less if someone doesn't greet me with a big Happy Meal smile, warm hug, and a pat on the back. The food is great and they seem to be clean...(and they wear masks). That's all that matters. -the lady at the register, of whom I have dealt with, is always polite! Thank you very much for your great service :-) read more

Good food from my few experiences stopping by every now and then. Wish the online order system and phone system actually worked or had notice they weren't open because I ended up going to another restaurant after limping my injured butt over here for no reason. Inconvenient for me at the time read more

Hilo Hawaiian BBQ - Hilo doors locked and closed without notice during open hours. Hours posted on google are also different from what is known currently. - Hawaiian Near Me - American Canyon, California

The prices are high and the portions are skimpy. I stopped going here and would rather get L&L delivered to my house instead.

There is no hospitality like Hawaiian hospitality, so believe me, if I am not on any of the beautiful islands of Hawaii, any island restaurant I walk to that is a chain, will have my expectations low. However, at this chain, the food comes out quickly and you are in and out in no time. Although the hawaiian bbq places in the area are limited, this is one of my go-to's. Only thing I am missing is a mai tai, sand between my toes and a hawaiian sunset. read more

I love this place!!! I always get the #1 it's chicken,2 scoops of rice,1 scoop of macaroni it's always delicious!usually never have to wait more than 10 minutes for the food to be cooked,friendly nice staff at the cash register. read more

Hilo Hawaiian BBQ - #1 - Hawaiian Near Me - American Canyon, California

Used to go here often last year, but going back earlier this week was just an outright disappointment. How is serving chicken not only this thin (in the photo), but also very dry acceptable in the food industry? What I said about this chicken katsu being dry? That's astronomically more true for their BBQ chicken and beef short ribs. I could keep on going with the switch from sushi rice to jasmine rice, a mere tablespoon of cabbage, at the bottom of the plate and the BBQ meat marinade tasting worse. I'm not ashamed at all to be giving such a brutal review because of these unreasonable prices. I really enjoyed this spot years before but I can't recognize the food anymore. This is business isn't run by any cooks or chefs, it's just here to take your money. The owners should be ashamed. read more

Location is a bit hidden in the corner of the american canyon plaza. They have a self-serve kiosk to order, which is new. It may be set up due to covid or having short staff. I waited in line to to place my order. Later, I did notice the staff did take an order for a person on the register. I waited for about 10 minutes for my food. I would recommend this place if you're craving Hawaiian food! read more

Good food every time. My go to is the katsu chicken double rice. Service is always good and prices are fair. They have a good team there and work well together. read more

4 stars for their pork and shrimp potstickers. Well seasoned and a whole shrimp included.

Went to Walmart for sun screen and saw this place! We were excited to come here, Before we head to the discovery animal kingdom Big mistake!!! The person at the register has no personality! A bit rude! I'm sorry I can't eat msg, it affects me to where I will feel like crap all day!!! I asked her do you use msg? "Everything" is what she said Than I asked what doesn't? Salad is what her comment was I guess one word is what she can manage! I than asked her if I can refill my refillable with water and ice! I got a yes with an eye roll! One word again Won't be going back! Food was common easy fast food!!! Very disappointed Brush up on customer service skills! A welcome or hello when walking in is a great start! And A THANK YOU When customers pick up food and leave!!! Oh wait that's hard to do when your back is facing us!!! read more

I was rolling home from the Crusher Games in my Whip Black Beauty and was a little hungry when I happened upon Hilo Hawaiian BBQ.. They are located in a Large Strip mall. So there's Plenty of Parking. I stashed my Whip there and rolled in. Hilo Hawaiian BBQ is a pretty large place . I walked up to the front counter and perused their Menu. I ordered their version of a Seafood Combo- Fried Fish , Shrimp and Teriyaki Chicken and Spam Masubi 12 Minutes later I was brought my food. When I saw my Seafood Combo , I was very Disappointed to say the least !!! Very Small Portions !! I was Appalled !!! The Spam Masubi was good. The Seafood Combo tasted Average at Best. . Sorry I wont be back. read more

Not a place I'd recommend. Their customer service is AWFUL!!!! They do not acknowledge you, want you to only order off of a machine, and will not customize any order. What a way to lose business. Also the workers are RUDE! Can't say is recommend this place when there are plenty of other great places right near. I gave 1 star only because you have to give a star, otherwise I would give 0. read more

I thought I was going to die of thirst. Ok I'm being a little dramatic, but the food at Hilo made us really thirsty! And they don't give you cups for water. Even the cheapest, crappiest restaurants will usually give you water. This place is definitely not where you find aloha. Other than that, Hilo is pretty comparable to an L&L and even has mini and regular sizes like L&L does. I enjoyed my bbq chicken (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/hilo-hawaiian-bbq-american-canyon-2?select=1HHeYBfs1zUB88s4ISnTrA#P09-UDbP2aVCC9TMdYGwXw), which was flavorful and tender. But it must've been loaded with salt, because it made me really thirsty. All would've been forgiven, had I just had some water... My plate came with two scoops of rice and macaroni salad, but I substituted the macaroni salad for more cabbage. I really enjoyed the way the cabbage was sauteed with a bit of oil. They made it better than the L&L's I've been to. The wife got a mixed plate with chicken, beef and short ribs (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/hilo-hawaiian-bbq-american-canyon-2?select=1HHeYBfs1zUB88s4ISnTrA#EPXdxZR2VFZOJvzlWGKb1g). I had a bite of her beef, and it was alright but tasted a little fatty and wasn't as good as my chicken. Winner winner, chicken dinner. The chicken here is a win. The no cups for water policy is not. read more

It was pretty good. I would recommend the masubi. Everything else is just kind of...blah.

Tonight was Hawaiian food for dinner. However, tonight was a bit disappointing. It took about 23 min from the time I ordered to when I received my order. At other times, I'm out in 10-12 min. The food still taste great but the portion is less than before. The price also went up. I ordered the Seafood Mix with BBQ Beef ($9.99) and a Chicken Combo ($9.49). Yelp or Hilo needs to remove the $1 special when checking in. It's expired. I saw it...didn't read the small text at the bottom. Cashier said they no longer accept it. My fault for not reading the disclaimer. But, why display it?.?. I hope their service doesn't stay this way. read more

I have been going to Hilo's for years, I thought it was time to write a review for how much I love it. They are consistently perfect with their spam musubi and chicken katsu. I couldn't recommend this place more, and their spam musubi has to be one of my all time favorite foods. That and their chicken katsu are definitely the best around! read more
