This place reminded me of a small mom and pop place in Carson, Ca called Back Home in Lahaina, but without the big local food menu. The menu items here are basic for a local plate lunch which works really well, less confusing. Musubi was good, glad they added furikake on the rice. The garlic chicken and shrimp was good too. Their style was not exactly how we do it back home, but they got it...just missing one weee ingredient. But maybe that's lani moku's style. Kalua pig kinda salty. It had the flavor but I need the fat with it. Maybe next time I'll ask for the fatty pieces. Overall, I enjoyed this place and ate up my lunch. The guy working there was on point and looked like he enjoyed working there. It says a lot about this place. Thank you for having me here, a hui hou! read more

I've always loved the Lani Moku at Beergarden and was a little hesitant to try the Grill but it was so good! The food is as good as ever, the redhaired girl at the counter was super nice and helpful, AND she made a killer drink at the little tiki bar (big fan of the tiki bar). The restaurant looked clean, aesthetic, and hawaiian lol. Will definetly come here more often since its closer to home. read more

One of my favorite hawaiin spots. Their garlic chicken is perfect every time. So juicy and crispy. Also love their mac salad. On Monday's they do certain plate meals for 7.50$ which is a great deal. Different deals each day of the week. Food comes out pretty fast even when it's busy. It does get busy here. Really nice ambiance, lots of seating. The menu in this location is a lot more extensive than the one at the beer garden. Never disappointed when I eat here. Everything is delicious especially the plate meals. read more

Love this place. The food is amazing. Their Hawaiian soda is refreshing. I enjoy the Kahlua pig with their slaw and noodles. Lani Moku never fails. Service is always top notch and personable Ambiance is a Hawaiian oasis getaway! read more

First tried the food cart out at the Beer Garden in Eugene at a friend's birthday a few weeks back then made my way out this brick and mortar spot. My fave garlic chicken in the area for sure. I noticed they also have a happy hour menu so I'll have to try this another time. Great service and food. They also have cocktail specials and desserts. The garlic shrimp was my second favorite dish here and the noodles and mac salad are also solid. read more

I had lunch at Lani Moku Grill. The place is off by a strip mall. There is plenty of seating area. I ordered their garlic shrimp tacos and garlic chicken wings. They were good, but I am still kicking myself for not ordering their garlic shrimp rice plate as I had been craving hawaiian garlic shrimp. The tacos were good, but the sauce and slaw just took away from the garlic shrimp flavor. The garlic chicken wings were good but it was odd that they decided to pair it with asian sweet and sour sauce. I would've opted for teriyaki sauce or leave it as it because it's already so saucy. Anyways the next time I visit, note to self, order an actual rice plate. read more

Yummy food!! excellent pog margarita good service also! They were also very kind to a disabled gentleman who was a customer while we were there read more

Great food and perfect proportions. Staff is friendly, food is received quickly, and the restaurant has a very decent bar. I usually get takeout because that is what I prefer. If you dine in, bring sunglasses - it is bright! Even still, this is a go-to favorite. And get some banana bread!! read more

Yummy food! Quick and friendly service. Super inviting and fun ambiance! I will absolutely return Full bar read more

Yay Dole Whip!!! They sprinkle some li hing mui on top for some legit Hawaiian flava. So yummy. Garlic shrimp - Nice medium/large size shrimp, perfectly cooked. I'm sure if we ate in the restaurant it would had been even tastier, but was still really good. Loved having the veggie option too - this is such a good value with an excellent colorful melange of veg. Garlic chicken - Tasty but not too garlicky garlic chicken (also this one was less sugary than Chinese versions). We'll get this again...especially for the kiddo since it was such a generous portion! The interior of the restaurant was super cute with a tastefully decorated little lounge area. We'll be back again soon! read more

I was super excited to try Lani Moku Grill, when we walked in the lady at the counter greeted us and was very friendly. I ordered the garlic chicken with half rice/noodles, and my boyfriend ordered the teriyaki chicken. The portions were very small and the chicken was dry and definitely over cooked. The Mac salad was equally disappointing. I also ordered a mixed drink the tropical long Island and could only taste lemon juice. Very unfortunate we will not be returning. read more

Wow Best Hawaiian food in town, I've tried them all Worth the drive out of my way to hit this restaurant up I ordered the pele chicken and teriyaki chicken Portions were large Had amazing taste!! Definitely will be back read more

Hands down the best Hawaiian food in Eugene. My husband and I went here for lunch. The prices weren't bad for the portion. I thought it was so nice being able to sit at the table in a peaceful environment it wasn't too loud or too crowded although I would expect way more people to be there for how delicious it was! The counter person who took our order was very patient & helpful as we decided what we wanted to order. I will definitely be going back read more

I truly expected more out of my Lani Moku grill experience..it had been talked up so much and I had had it before at the Beergarden so I figured the brick and mortar would be that much better..I was wrong.. the food I had was not bad but the portions were very small. My friend got the Tempeh and i tried it and it was like cardboard it was not very pleasant. No drinks were offered and I never saw anything about musubi and that was my main reason for coming. It was a bummer. I think I will stick to Hawaiian time Or Ron's read more

Large portions and the food is so tasty. The staff is so great. It's a clean too. Also offer adult beverages at a reasonable price.

I was super excited to try this new location and have some tasty Hawaiian food. It was nice and busy but we didn't have a long wait to place our order. I had the Pele Chicken, Mac salad and rice. My son had the Teriyaki Chicken, Mac salad and rice. The food was so good and so much, could barely finish mine! Love the new location, get restaurant and the food was super good. Great location, with lots of seating, cute little bar and a great mural. Love the vibe and even though it was busy, great service and fast. read more

I'm sure I've tried the food truck before but can't find a review, but we recently tried Lani Moku's new location in Springfield and we were quite happy. The service was friendly and super fast, and we got there right before a lunch rush. We ordered the Teriyaki Chicken with noodles and the Pele Chicken with noodles (mac salad on the side for both). And started with a Strawberry Lemon cheesecake slice! It was delicious. I wouldn't exactly say it had the consistency of a traditional cheesecake but no complaints, it was perfect. Our dishes were served up super fast and were large enough that we had leftovers to take to go. Only thing I would personally like with a noodle dish, is to have more veggies automatically mixed up/sauteed with the noodles. There was some carrots or cabbage but not a whole bunch. What I liked most about this place is that you can tell the chicken is grilled up, you can taste the difference versus, let's say, Hawaiian Time. And there didn't seem to be as much by way of inedible fat in the chicken I received. I think it could have been spicier but it still had good flavor. There were sauce options I could have added but wanted to try it first without modifications. The inside of the new location is so bright and light, a very nice difference from most new restaurants that seem to be going with dark and darker. Will definitely come back. read more

There is nothing better than having a great meal with great service and then realizing that you dined on their community give back day! We had lunch for the first time at Lani Moku's brick and mortar location in springfield OR. We were greeted with a warm smile and shining attitude. They have fantastic options on their menu. I got the Garlic Shrimp Plate with 1/2 and 1/2 Fried Noodle & Rice and Mac Salad. When I say the shrimp was perfectly crispy AND perfectly cooked, I truly mean it. The portions are so generous that I couldn't eat it all, and when I finished the meal a few hours later, it was still super tatsy! He got the Pele Beef Plate with the same options. It was this perfect hint of heat on the tender beef. I think we both agree that next time we will get all Fried Noodle because they were so damn good. Because it was a midday weekday lunch - we got a couple of fountain drinks - but they do have a full bar with some fun drinks on the menu. Most important to note - on Wednesdays, $1 of every plate sold is donated to a local charity the Lani Moku customers get to pick and vote for each month! Secondly - they now have a happy hour menu We cannot wait to go back! read more

Great amount of delicious food , I did the Kahlua pork, garlic shrimp on noodles with a Mac side! Wonderful good! Great place! Attentive staff! What's not to like ! read more

First off, food, delish! I got the spicy pele tempeh plate which I chose rice and Mac salad to go with. Mac salad wasn't my fav but still good it definitely had spice to it. Also the tempeh was different from what I've ever had. It was very textured and it was really good. The food came out pretty fast, people were nice and big portions! They also have a private room I believe and a cute little photo taking spot. read more

Got to try their food when it was catered at my workplace. Super good noodles and chicken!! Got to try both the teriyaki and fried chicken and it was great, and the banana bread was the cherry on top. Can't wait to try it again. read more

I don't know why it took us so long to try out this place.... It's so good!!! I got the garlic chicken and my husband got the pork tacos. Both were very generous portions, plated nicely, and tasted phenomenal. The service is top notch. They have big nice comfy booths. The peanut butter pie was the best I've had. We will definitely be back. read more

Showed up was greeted immediately. The lady told us to have a seat of our choice and she would be right with us. Of course more people showed up and were served before us. Eventually I walked up to the front counter and had to let them know we were still eating. The food was okay but not the best Hawaiian food I had. The chicken was a bit dry. I did enjoy the spam fries though. On top of all that, it seemed like a very small portion than I would get elsewhere for what I paid for. read more

Amazing. Walked in to order had a great person help me my order. Everything we got was so good. I highly recommend the spam fries I wish we ordered 2 servings. The spam musabi was really good as well. We will be back. read more

Attitude here from everyone needs adjustment. People walk away from the counter without so much as a "someone will be right with you". Quality on the food is inconsistent, burned or crunchy noodles, hard rice, portions for the meat are all over the place and they are out of things constantly. (Looking at you spam musubi) Also refills on anything are non existent since nobody walks the floor. read more

Everything about this place is killer. Tried it for the first time today, everyone who worked there was super nice 10/10, they make you feel super cozy and welcome. Cool place and super great food. Highly recommend. read more

We got a pickup order yesterday and the food was... okay. My teriyaki chicken was dry, stringy and and sauceless. It's like no teriyaki chicken I've ever eaten (not a compliment). The fried noodles and mac salad were great though! Unfortunately, I don't think we'll be back. read more

How is this place not packed to the gills? It had AMAZING cocktails and Hawaiian food! If you haven't eaten here, you're missing out. Staff is super friendly and the restaurant is very clean and open concept. It's bright and has a fun hang ten sign for selfies and ambiance. I promise you, you won't be disappointed or hungry after you leave here. read more

I've always had a great experience dining at the Springfield location, but sadly will not be returning to the one in Eugene. An employee there (short pink hair & heavy eye makeup) is extremely rude. On my first visit she snipped at me as if I was in the way when I was walking up to order. I figured she was just having a bad day, but the next time, she outright refused to make the order I've enjoyed over a dozen times - from both locations. She made up ridiculous excuses for why my order was not possible. First she claimed the sauce on the side would "melt the plastic cup." False. When I requested the sauce on top, she argued it was against the "rules." When I pressed further, explaining this was the same order I get every time, she finally retorted that "we only do that when we're not busy." I left empty handed. Reached out to management, with no response. Really sad because I've always loved supporting Lani Moku, especially with their charitable giving campaigns, but if this is how I'm going to be treated I'll just eat at home and donate to charity instead. read more

I am sad to write this review. Lani Moku Grill use to be a favorite of mine and when they moved to my neck of the woods my family and I were ecstatic! But for me the food isn't the same. And I can't eat there without getting a horrible stomach ache or diarrhea. Not sure if it's the mac salad or something else that's causing me to feel this way... read more
