The chicken and pork were very flavorful and the sauce options are plentiful. I loved the Teri (teriyaki) sauce as it is more of a thicker sauce than a watery consistency.

I've eaten here before but not at this location. It's always consistent, fresh, fast and most of all the food tastes great! This location was clean and friendly. Because I can't go a day without spicy food I ordered the Kilauea Chicken. As advertised it had a kick but also tons of sweetness. The chicken was tender as well. There was not a bad bite in this meal. Especially when you mix a little bit of the rice and Mac salad with everything else. By itself though, the Mac salad left a little to be desired. It was flavorless. Typically it's my favorite part of a Hawaiian bbq plate but this time it just wasn't doing it. Thankfully the chicken was so great!

I believe that due to their business model of only having a few dishes and sides and doing them really well, instead of having a lot of options, is the secret. I know that some of the sides are a bit controversial, but I happen to like them all. I do tend to typically trade the Rice Ball for Steamed Veggies when I can. That was not allowed on this visit. - 5 stars The Atmosphere - Many of these are that modern, somewhat industrial, style that is all the rage. It is functional enough but not exactly comfortable. Nor does this style hold any real personality and you can tell that like so many other commercial places these are designed to hold ANY restaurant should they change hands or locations. Gone are the days where you could recognize the restaurant by its roof or design. Now the only thing to leave the impression is the Logo. Not taking points off for this... just wandering down the lost memory lane of Hut Rooflines and Bells in a façade. - 4 stars The Staff - This staff was incredibly busy and did a great job balancing all that they had going on. Everyone I interacted with was extremely polite and willing to help in any way possible. - 4 stars The rest of the story - So in Kansas City someone decided that if the KC Royals scored 6 or more runs in a game (including ones lost) any Hawaiian Bros Rewards Members could go in and get a free Classic meal. You could order the protein that you wanted in the meal but they were not allowing any other changes as they were just too busy. So, when I went in on a Sunday afternoon the place was packed. The staff was so busy that they were scrambling to do the other tasks, like fill the napkins/straws, or empty the lobby trash. I watched the staff of 5 be continuously slammed with orders and stay at a dead run the entire time I was in the building. I placed my order and attempted to stay out of the way. I had a 25 minute wait but this was only due to the amount of internal and drive thru orders that they were keeping up with. And I must say I was impressed. At the time of writing them Hawaiian Bros has rescinded this specific program and instead now has a reward of BOGO after the KC Royals score 6 runs or more. Let's just say I wouldn't want to be the exec that had to roll that one back!

I tend not to tip in fast food locations as I don't know who would actually receive the tip and as there really wasn't much service I didn't feel the need to tip. Food was brought out quickly but staff was not very personable. This location was rather big but not many people eating there. There were a few dirty tables and the bathrooms were dirty as well.

A few days ago, I went to KC for a quick trip to pick up something I cannot get repaired in MHK, and had a few hours to spend before it was ready. I typically go to stores we do not have, so after stops at TJ's, Sprouts, and Costco, I had not eaten a thing since the morning and was starving, I ordered a pick-up poke bowl at 3:30 PM because it was not far from Costco, and was pleased to see yellowtail as a protein option! I was really impressed with all of the possibilities, including the green tea-coconut rice as a base, and included mix-ins/toppings such as seaweed salad, masago, and tamagoyaki without any extra cost! I had a really awesome bowl and if I did not already have ito en jasmine green tea in my car, I would have eagerly bought a bottle to accompany my poke! Itadakimasu!

Longboards has been part of my story since my UMKC days. I first went after hearing all the hype,…read moreand as they've expanded, I've followed them from location to location. When they finally opened in Overland Park, I was ecstatic -- it felt like my old college staple had grown up with me. One side note that says it all: during KU Hospital orientation, HR did that classic icebreaker -- "What's your favorite restaurant?" Someone mentioned Longboards, and instantly a chorus of people chimed in with "Yeah!" That kind of reaction tells you everything -- Longboards isn't just food, it's a Kansas City cult favorite. Menu-wise, they do things differently. Think grilled burrito-style wraps or deli-style cold wraps, but you can make any of them into an "OG" (their giant version with a hard-boiled egg inside) or turn them into a rice bowl. That's what makes it fun -- the creativity of the flavors plus the flexibility to make it your own. My forever go-to is the Argentine quesadilla flat wrap -- steak, shrimp, guac, mozzarella, pico, and chimichurri ranch. It's basically surf-and-turf at a reasonable price, and the flavors just explode. Easily a 10/5. I usually grab a second item too. This time it was the WOW Kung Pao wrap -- chicken, peanuts, veggies, rice, spicy Chinese sauce. Think kung pao stir-fry, but wrapped up. Perfect balance of heat and crunch, a solid 4/5. Over the years , I've also loved the 5 Alarm Beef (spicy, but worth it). The the Cabo chicken/steak (crowd favorites), and the 619 OG (go big or go home) are prety solid too. And don't sleep on their rotating monthly creations -- some of the most fun menu items they've done. My favorite was One Time in Bangkok -- as spicy and naughty as it sounds. Basically a pad thai wrap loaded with Thai Peanut, Spicy Chinese, and 5 Alarm sauce. Absolutely amazing, and another 10/5. Honestly wish they'd make it a permanent menu item. The sauces are what really set Longboards apart. They bottle a few (Thai Peanut, 5 Alarm, Chipotle Ranch, Teriyaki), and I wish they'd sell their Spicy Chinese sauce too -- it's that good. Same with the chimichurri ranch on the Argentine -- I could honestly bathe in both of them. Pro tip: grab a bottle of Thai Peanut sauce and use it at home to instantly level-up Trader Joe's bowls. Sometimes the bottles are half off during happy hour times. I've tried their noodle bowls and rice bowls -- tasty, but rice noodles aren't my thing. And the Hawaiian sliders? Hard pass. Stick to the wraps, flat wraps, or OG-style burritos and you can't go wrong. The staff is always friendly, the food is consistent -- super quick, super fresh, always hot. Seating is limited (this location is mainly carry-out), but I love the surf-inspired vibe with the surfboard-shaped countertop. What makes Longboards stand out most is the value. They've managed to keep prices fair while maintaining high quality -- even post-COVID, when so many places either dropped standards or raised prices. That combination of affordability, creativity, flexibility, and consistency is rare. Longboards is a KC institution for a reason. Five stars every time.
