The boy in the…read morefront counter just said "DoorDash?" and after confirming the boy just placed the food on the counter. My man said "Thank you" and the kid didn't say anything back. We are originally from Hawaii and for a place portraying Hawaiian/Polynesian food and culture we sure didn't feel the "Aloha Spirit". Their customer service was severely lacking! Then the food - we ordered the 2 meat combo plate with the garlic chicken and kalua pig, rice, mac, and sapa sui. Also, the Katsu with fries, guava cake, and mango otai. The otai and the guava cake were decent. The Katsu was cooked well, but lacked crunch. The garlic chicken and kalua pig were so dry and tasted bland. The Mac salad lacked flavor also, the sapa sui was just okay. Overall, just super disappointed in the food. We've heard about them through reels claiming they were really good. We always try to support local, especially the poly community here in Utah but our experience just wasn't the greatest. They claim to be serving "island love" but we just didn't feel it, if you decide to try them, hopefully you have a better experience.

The food was fresh, the staff was incredibly welcoming, and I left feeling completely satisfied. What I Loved Spam Musubi: I happened to go on a Monday and scored the Buy 1 Get 1 Free deal, which was such a win. The rice was packed just right, and that sweet-salty glaze on the spam was exactly what I was craving. The BBQ Combo: I went for the Kalbi short ribs and BBQ chicken. The ribs had a beautiful char and were super tender, while the chicken was juicy and well-marinated. You really can't beat those massive scoops of white rice and that creamy macaroni salad on the side. Island Fire Chicken: I also tried the spicy chicken, and it had a great kick! It was spicy enough to be exciting but didn't mask the actual flavor of the meat. The value here is hard to beat, especially with the Monday musubi deal. It felt like a massive, hearty treat, and it's definitely going into my regular rotation for a solid plate lunch.

Having the food in warmers is smart for prep purposes but it definitely affects the freshness & flavor. Order/receipt pictured below. *Mac salad - too heavy. *Katsu - please give a fresh piece next time not the one that's been sitting under the warmer and was already cut. *Kalua - decent. *Steak - not bad but overcooked. *Guava cake - must've been from yesterday because it was dry. *Juice - always a hit. *Service - typical to go service, nothing special...obviously short staffed so no faulting them there.

It's crispy, sweet, savory, and this one is the star of the show! I've also had the galbi, katsu, and lemon pepper chicken, and while you can find these in a lot of places, it's also great from Island Grinds. The portions are large and are a good value. I tend to get the three meat combos for two people, but I think the $6 combo is cheap and perfect for solo dining!

The folks here are really nice and all working hard to get orders out. Ekolu plate - comes w/ 3 scoped rice and 2 scoped Mac salad. The rice was cooked well but the macaroni needed a few more minutes of cook time but had good flavor ! Our meat choices were - Katsu chicken a bit over done - Teri chicken over done too bad as flavor was good. Teri steak was perfect good flavor and not over cooked. They were busy so I was surprised the chicken was very dry. I know this location is new and maybe a bit more time is needed to get to know this market. We'll be back to give them another try as I know they can put out a good product.

Real authentic Hawaiian bbq good enough to slap your momma. Run, don't walk to the register to order the sinfully delicious garlic shrimp. Let me say that again, if you want an "eyes rolling in the back of your head" moment this is your protein choice. But she's not the only dish to surely satisfy the needs of your tastebuds. Garlic chicken, perfect. It's fried to crispy perfection then covered in garlic sauce done right. Chicken Katsu, amazing (although what chicken Katsu isn't?!?). If you go on a Friday you can't go wrong with the beef short ribs an absolute stud of a protein/meat choice. Yum freaking yum. Let us not forget the sides, the supporting characters that can make the difference between a good show and an epic one. Their Mac salad contains imitation crab giving it that extra something and pushing it above those "other guys". Rice is rice, good job.
