I came on a Friday afternoon for a sweet treat. I've tried Ululani's in Hawaii and was excited to see Hawaiian shave ice offered in Bakersfield. The ambiance is very airy, open, and clean. I used the touch screen to order a Hawaiian shave ice with mango, guava, and orange passion flavors. I chose the lychee jelly and mochi toppings. The service was relatively fast and the server was friendly. The shave ice had larger ice chunks than Ululani's, making it so I had to stab the ice a lot with the spoon. The small plate made it sort of difficult to eat since everything kept toppling over. The flavors were quite good though especially with the vanilla ice cream on top! The orange passion was my favorite! Overall, I had a great experience and will be back next time I'm craving Hawaiian shave ice. read more

Luau Grill - Hawaiian shave ice - Hawaiian Near Me - Bakersfield, California

If you are looking for a breezy escape from the daily grind, this spot hits the mark. The atmosphere is immediately welcoming, and the setup is modern. You can order via a tablet or at the front. While the vibe and pricing reminded me of another Hawaiian spot in town, it holds its own as a solid afternoon destination. The Main Event: Kid-Sized Comfort I opted for the Shrimp from the kids' menu. It was the perfect portion size, though I wished for some greens. The shrimp was impressively crispy and provided a great crunch. The Sidekick: Mac and Rice The macaroni salad did not miss a beat. It is hard to go wrong with mac salad at a Hawaiian joint. Paired with the rice, it provided that classic, starchy comfort. The Snack: Spam Musubi The Spam Musubi was exactly what you would expect, though this version was particularly heavy on the rice. It is a very filling addition to any order. The Verdict Overall, this is a great lunch spot. The prices are a touch high, but the quality makes it worth a visit. I am already planning a return trip for the Shaved Ice. read more

I am a Luau Grill fanatic at this point, going multiple times a month. Everything on the menu I have tried has been absolutely delicious, and they keep their quality is consistently high all days of the week. Their fried shrimp and fish dishes have worked their way into my regular orders of kalbi beef and chicken katsu. Their sauces are so good, it's hard not to just drench the mac and rice. Pro tip: You can change the mac to rice ratio of your dish for no extra charge. I always go double mac and single rice. They're very quick with their takeout orders, always having mine ready when I swing by to pick it up. This is part of the reason why I frequent them as often as I do, they've become my high quality, quick and easy meal which fills me up and often leads to leftovers with their generous portions. The prices are affordable and there are lunch and small meal deals and specials regularly occurring and worth looking into. The restaurant is always super clean and their team is very friendly and welcoming. read more

Very friendly staff and waited till we were ready to bring out the shaved ice. The katsu was crunchy and flavorful! The shaved ice was wow, wow, wow! The perfect and refreshing cold dessert for the summer. The ability to choose three flavors and add some yummy toppings really ties it all in together. Will definitely be back! read more

We love this place. We decided to stop by to eat before we saw a school play. It's always clean and smells delicious right when you walk in. The food is amazing. My boys like to get the spam musubi and shrimp appetizers. I like to get the salmon plate with rice and veggies. There is always so much on the plate that I can share with my boys and everyone has enough. After we had dinner we decided to try the Hawaiian ice. It was perfectly sweet and was big enough to share. I think next time we will just get one. The staff are always friendly and I think the owner was there. She is sweet and I always try to let them know how great the food was. We try to come here often. read more

I would definitely come back. Hawaiian cuisine is very similar to Filipino BBQ or Filipino flavors so the food reminds me of comfort food. If you're not sure what to get here, you can try the combo plates that have the different meat options and everything is really good. Prices are really good too, it's not too pricey and you get a lot of food for the price. One plate literally feeds 2 or more people. Parking is a little bit crazy since there's a lot of establishments nearby. No matter what time you come it's super busy so if you're in a rush, this area may not be a good stop for you. Restaurant is clean. The place is fairly new, but you can tell it's clean because I saw employees constantly cleaning up. The place hasn't been too busy when I have visited, but it seems pretty constant with customers. That's always a plus since that tells you that the food is fresh. read more

This place is my go to spot for Chicken Katsu, it's always so crispy and tender. The one thing i wish was different was the katsu sauce, it's good but it seems pretty watery compared to other katsu sauces from other establishments. The spam musubi is one of my favorites although, it's very filling since they overload it with rice. i love their mac salad here and there's nothing like hawaiian mac. The service is quick and the workers are very nice! The area has an electronic kiosk and you can always order with someone at the front counter if you need to pay cash. The restaurant is constantly kept clean and they have self service sauce and utensil areas for whatever you need. read more

Luau Grill - Chicken & Beef - Hawaiian Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Great Hawaiian BBQ huge portions and good prices. The bbq beef is tender and very flavorful. Short ribs are a little chewy but taste is delicious. Mac salad is spot on and you get cabbage too. Katsu chicken is also excellent. Everything we've eaten here has been good. Everything is made fresh so expect a little wait but it's worth it. I don't love shrimp but the shrimp here were breaded just like the Katsu and very crunchy. It's a great place to grab food and have leftovers for tomorrow. The staff is very friendly which is a bonus. Go check it out and experience aloha here in Bakersfield read more

After running at Riverwalk Park, we were looking for new places to go to and happened to see this restaurant. I have always wanted to try loco moco and I am glad I got to try it here. I am not sure how it should taste like, I thought the gravy was a little bit salty but still finished the whole mini meal, which I think was not mini at all! Our food came with rice and macaroni. Their shrimps and sauces were good, too! I love that they have the kiosk where you can order so I can take my time and explore their menu fully. Judging our empty plates, I think that we will be back! read more

This was my 1st visit and so far so good. I was greeted as I entered the building. There are 2 computers to put your orders in instead of the cashier. On this visit I didn't use the computers. Menu is different in store than on like DoorDash. They seem to be a bit higher. Store was really clean and not so loud. On this visit I ordered the Mini chicken Katsu and man was that packed. I wish it had veggies tho. I also ordered krab ragoons. There were good but needed some kind of sauce like sweet and sour and then it would have been perfect. Over all I liked the food and portions were really good size. I do want to try other meals but I love Katsu. They have a sauce bar which I like but the Katsu sauce was really cold I like mine just a tad bit warm but other than that this place rocked it. read more

We have been wanting to try this place but always miss it . Finally we went there and I really liked the food and simplicity of the restaurant. True we all go to fancy places pay a lot of money more than what the place of the food is worth of or not . Any way they cook right in front of you give you in a to go box and all the sauces utensils etc are at the table . Enjoy the warm delicious food and have a blast . People working here are fast and courteous. read more

Had to try the only other Hawaiian competitor in town! Had the bbq combo. For this you get a heaping amount of food. About 3 thighs, 2 thighs worth of katsu, and beef. Crazy amount of food. The rice and Mac scoops are also larger than typical! Had to wait a bit for my food so I know they make them fresh. I don't think they have the traffic just yet to cook portions ahead. While you do get 2 days worth, I must say the quality feels lacking most especially with the sauces. The teriyaki sauce is very salty and the Mac is quite bland for my tastes. If you prefer quantity then this is the Hawaiian place of choice! read more

Luau Grill in Bakersfield offers a delightful taste of the islands, and their Very Tasty Hawaiian BBQ plate is a prime example of why they're my new local favorite. Service was quick, and is a generously portioned meal and truly delivers the flavor and the portion size requirements for a meal above $20 yet this meal is sub $17. The combination of BBQ chicken, flavorful beef, and tender short ribs is a meat lover's dream, each cooked to perfection in some kind of Hawaiian BBQ marinade.(my guess) The meats are consistently juicy and packed in the container.This protein powerhouse about 38g with ample servings of fluffy white rice, steamed cabbage, and classic macaroni salad. It's a truly satisfying plate. Beyond the BBQ, a must-try is the rangoon. These crispy, golden parcels arrive piping hot, after being freshly prepared to order. The filling is a creamy, and the crispy wonton wrapper provides a satisfying crunch with every bite. The temperature of the crab rangoon is a small detail that often gets overlooked, but Luau Grill served them at their peak, enhancing my first overall experience. While this place is casual, the focus here is clearly on the food, and Luau Grill excels in delivering authentic, flavorful Hawaiian cuisine with generous portions. It's a reliable spot for a hearty and delicious meal in Bakersfield. Try this place just once before you head back to your favorite barbecue spot , you wont regret it read more

I would have a picture of the food but I ate it to quick! Seriously this place never fails! Not stingy with their servings absolute bang for your buck! 1 plate feeds me and my fiancé no problem and I'm a big fella! 10/10 would recommend totally amazing every time we go! Love this place! read more

Had a wonderful lunch at the Luau Grill! Ordered the Moco Loco. My wife ordered the mini(no so mini) pork plate. I love Hawaiian style macaroni salad, and theirs was so tasty! The pork had a great pork flavor, not too much seasoning. The rice was nice and fluffy. The patty, egg and gravy for the Moco Loco tasted great together! They do have a self service area for sauces, which is nice to see. Seems like too many places are doing away with those. All around an excellent place to eat. Thank you Luau Grill! read more

If you're craving Hawaiian BBQ in Bakersfield, Luau Grill is the spot. I ordered the BBQ Mix Plate and was blown away it's the perfect way to sample the best they offer. The plate comes loaded with BBQ chicken, beef, and Chicken Katsu, all grilled to perfection with that sweet-savory island flavor that hits just right. The portions are huge (definitely enough for two meals), and everything was tender, juicy, and flavorful. The rice was fluffy, the macaroni salad was creamy, and the meats had that perfect char grilled finish. You can tell they care about quality here. Service was fast and friendly, and the place was clean and welcoming. It's now my go-to for Hawaiian BBQ in town. Highly recommend the mix plate if you want the best of everything! read more

Luau Grill took over the old Pizza Rev spot. I was so excited to have Hawaiian BBQ closer to home. The restaurant is very clean. The staff was wiping down tables, chairs, and trash areas. Our food came pretty quickly and very fresh. The portions are a good size and the price is very reasonable. We had the Kalua pork, bbq chicken and bbq beef. The beef really stood out and was a family favorite. We appreciated being able to get the sauces as needed. The bbq sauce, katsu sauce and sriracha were a nice addition. My family is already asking to go back. read more

Luau Grill is a solid choice if you're looking to get your Hawaiian BBQ fix. The restaurant is clean and open. The portions are HUGE compared to other places which is a bonus. We ordered 4 minis and an order of Spam Masubi for 4 people and there were plenty of leftovers. The minis we got were BBQ Chicken, Chicken Katsu, BBQ beef, and Kalua Pork. Make sure you get some sauces for dipping your meats. The macaroni salad is nice and creamy and the cabbage is cooked perfectly leaving some crunch. The wait was a little longer than I expected for not having many customers there at the time but probably because they made it fresh which I did not mind. The only issue I had was the to-go packaging. The bag was so thin that the container tore it and they stacked 4 containers vertical which caused it to tip over while driving. Despite picking it up right away, this caused a leak in my car. Good thing I had the all weather mats or else my new car would be smelling like food forevermore. I think Luau Grill should work on better to-go packaging to help out their customers to ensure a better experience. read more

I ordered their lemon pepper chicken salad and it was definitely different and interesting than any other salad i've had! I've never had one with sunflower seeds before actually and the sauce along with it (spicy cashew dressing & green goddess dressing) were excellent recommendations by the cashier. Service was good and helpful. They also had two kiosks to the side if you prefer to order yourself. The place has cute decor and was very clean. read more

Love me some Hawaiian bbq. I got the Aloha mix which is bbq chicken, bbq beef and a short rib. Always good to have options. This place is comparable to Ono. I think you might get more food at Ono though because I typically get the place similar to this. The macaroni was ok but not my favorite. And i felt like I didnt get a full 2 scoops of rice. I need rice! My sister kept complaining that the food was salty, however, I did like her chicken katsu. They have a little more to offer and their menu board soes include the pricing for party platters which is always good to know. read more

I've had Hawaiian BBQ a lot and this one is just okay. The place is nice and the food is cooked to order which I like, but it wasn't my favorite and that's because I've had really good ones. I gave this a 3 star not that it's bad I've just had better. read more

So ono! Knew it was good when I walked in and the place was filled with people who looked like home. We ordered the family meal. They say it feeds 4 people, but it easily fed our family of 6. We ordered two orders of the chicken katsu and one of the bbq chicken. The katsu was so good and I loved the mac salad. Portions were big. Only complaint was that it only came with 4 scoops of rice- I was expecting 8 (2 per person). Food was really good and I'll definitely be back! read more

Tried this place last week on Tuesday and was still eating it on Thursday! The portion sizes are incredible for the price! And the food was SO yummy! I ordered our food for delivery so I didn't have any direct contact with staff, but the order was packed up nicely and got here in a very timely manner. I was impressed because we had 11 orders total and everything was exactly correct! Spam musubi is one of my guilty pleasure foods and I HAVE to try it when I find out a place has it. Unfortunately, the spam musubi wasn't my favorite here (no sauce, no egg - just spam and rice wrapped in seaweed) but that's okay because everything else was so good and so filling! Still a 5 star joint for me! read more

Luau grill is the best Hawaiian BBQ in town! The staff was very attentive, and my food came out pretty quick.

We were in the area and as I was about to walk into pokeland, I saw this new place. Thought we'd give it a try. We were about to order our separate meals and saw they had a family meal. We're a sucker for family meals which came with rice, Mac salad and 3 proteins. Were opted for the katsu chicken? Bbq chicken and bbq beef. It was a ton of food and the food was great. Says it's good for 4 but the food was pretty hefty and we still have a lot left over. Service was pretty quick, staff were all nice, and the inside was nice and clean. Still brand new since there were still balloons and all but something cool to have instead of an Ono Hawaiian. read more

Tried this for the first time a couple of weeks ago when my employer catered some of their food. It was really good so I decided to pick up their family meal tonight. I ordered on line and went and picked up. They are located in a very busy shopping center, parking is hard to get. Walked up and the food was ready. Lots of tables so you can go in to eat. I got their bbq beef, lemon pepper chicken, fried shrimp, with half rice half Mac salad. Everything was delicious. Oh the cabbage is under the meat. A couple of weeks ago I had their pork and chicken katsu, and that was good too. I like the fact that they have a variety to choose from. Salads, bowls, combos, mini meals, family meals. I will definitely be picking me up a salad for lunch. read more
