    Hamburger Steak chicken katsu combo.
    Gina H.

    This establishment is one of the more affordable fast food spots. I would have to say that it was just ok. I would have to say portion size for $14 is kinda small. Chicken Katsu curry was as expected. Gravy is from Their curry stew which is to be expected. Just don't expect Japanese style curry. Hamburger steak was thin and very underwhelming. Once I got the fish sandwich and that was stinky. I would never recommend or order it again. Whenever I stop by, I would recommend sticking to the hamburger. It gives old fashioned drive inn vibes. Fries are usually good. Fried chicken is one of my favorite things here but it's not home style flavor more Chinese style Which is still Ono.

    BBQ Mixed Plate

    We ordered the mix plate and the garlic chicken which came with rice and mac salad. This spots a super hole in the wall with no seating inside. You actually can't even order no inside and just at the door. However, the lady working there was sweet and our food was ready very quickly. As everyone stated, the portion size is pretty big. The pricing is affordable compared to most places! I would say the garlic chicken was mostly batter and thin pieces of chicken but the mix plate is worth it! The meats were well seasoned and tender. Next time I will definitely get the mixed plate.

    Takeout lunch in Aiea, O'ahu, Hawaii... I was in real starvation mode when I figured out that i was hungry because I hadn't had lunch yet. It was after 3pm when I looked through my list of places that i haven't visited. M & M BBQ had pretty good reviews from friends such as Bruddah Fran, Rod U., Peter T., Emi H. (Former Community Manager of Yelp Hawaii), Clay Y., Kathy Y., Cathy T. (Former Yelp Hawaii Ambassador), and Mikey C. Of Ventura! Located on the ground level of a two-story building, next to the former Aiea Library, M & M BBQ is takeout only. The entrance of the restaurant was blocked off with a table. Order and pay here. If you have cash, you can avoid the credit card fee. Service was pleasant and efficient! I got my Hamburger Mix Plate and BBQ Mix plate quite quickly. I ate the Hamburger first... real comfort food! The beef stew (with tender meat, but slightly bland gravy) was hidden under the teri beef. I didn't really care for the teri beef, but it filled my tummy! Next, I was disappointed in the BBQ short ribs (kalbi), but was pleasantly surprised by the BBQ chicken... wow! And I don't really like chicken! This one was well marinated and yummy! The rice was good and the macaroni salad was great! Gosh... It all evened out! The prices were reasonable! I'll be back!

    Always great to come back here either for breakfast, lunch or dinner. We love to support small business / mom and pops shops. They're the ones that brings back to old school days. Their portion on the mink loco Moco was just right for me and the Mr. Had the bento special that filled him right up! Mahalo M&M BBQ for another satisfying yummy in our tummy ;)

    We are visiting island on vacation and this was our first stop to eat. We were all hungry! Food lives up to the ratings. We all ate everything on our plates and portion size is good too. Unfortunately, we had to eat outside by door but it made meal even better. Definitely worth the stop.

    I happened upon this place situated right across the Aiea Library. A Small littlr hole in thr wall next to island manapua. This is strictly take out only. They say they open at 8:30 am and they literally come in to open thr shop at 8:30am. An asian lady and man more past the middle age. They was old skool ..very appreciative and service oriented. The food is your typical plate lunch fare and thr portions are decent and prices very affordable. If you are looking to grab good food at fair prices give them a try..nothing wrong here.

    We were looking for a local spot near Pearl Harbor and found M&M a mile away. Highly recommend making the drive and grabbing a meal. The prices are also good!

    Food and prices are good here. The beef curry was really tender and went really good with their mac salad. The hamburger patties are homemade which is hard to find nowadays. It's only take out no dine in anymore.

    Sweet & Sour Spareribs
    S M.

    Tried the sweet & sour spareribs for $11.90 and found it to be delicious and they gave a lot. The lady working was very friendly and sweet. This is definitely a hidden gem.

SERVICE: friendly n' fully staffed INTERIOR: one person/party can enter at a time. No dine-in; just order n' pay. EXTERIOR: in the same plaza/across from Dipped by Dee.

Got there around 12:55pm n' the line was maybe 10 parties deep. After waiting 30 minutes, entered store to pay n' receive food. In total, about 1.5 hrs. Suggest getting in line immediately after placing phone order bc if unpaid, still gotta get in line to pay. PARKING: free lot that was completely full during our visit, tiny spaces. OVERALL COMMENTS: portion was huge; more than enough for two people. Plate was heavy. They don't skip on the fried rice n' chicken. Spicy ahi was definitely spicy, the kine heat you can't stop eating. The firecracker chicken was yuMmmy n' saucy. They gave at least 6-7 good size pcs. Maybe a combo of sriracha mayo n' sweet chili sauce. You get it all: sweet, savory, with a slight heat. Now the lup cheong fried rice was so good. Not dry at all n' very flavorful. The potato Mac salad was a good cool down n' to cleanse the palate. I'm already wanting it all again, which means everything was Ono!

    Super disappointed with the crazy service tonight…read more I placed an order outside using the kiosk for just a chicken katsu special at 5:52 PM since it was crowded inside and ended up waiting 45 minutes for that one plate. It wasn't just the waiting, it was the service and lack of communication that pushed it over. After placing my order, I entered the restaurant and waited on the side since there wasn't a place to sit and wait. The worker who was stationed at the front soon came back and asked "How can I help you?" and I mentioned that I ordered on the kiosk outside and she walked away without saying anything. Around 10 minutes in I noticed the worker mentioning to every person in line only after they tried to order that the wait would be 30 minutes for anything on the grill since they had a big order. The questions that came to mind every time a person attempted to order was "why wouldn't she tell them that they would have to wait 30 minutes from the beginning before they even tried to order so they could reevaluate if their orders needed the grill?" And "what items are not on the grill?" Every person in line would get frustrated as she wouldn't even show what items didn't need the grill.. They would say "Okay I want to order this instead" and she would keep saying "that's on the grill so you have to wait 30 minutes." Like they were supposed to know.. Who wouldn't get frustrated? Time went on and I found myself still waiting at 6:30 PM. When i heard her mentioning the chicken katsu wouldn't take long since it's not on the grill. No update, just me sitting on those high chairs obviously waiting for my order. It's worse because you don't get a buzzer for using the kiosk. I decided to ask about my order but still had to wait in line to talk to that same worker. When it was eventually my turn, I said "I wanted to check on my order" and showed her a picture of the kiosk with the order number because the kiosk didn't print a receipt for me and rudely responded with "Your order's already ready" and just handed it to me.. Excuse me? No one even bothered to tell me it was ready and she spoke to me like I was supposed to know it was ready. How long was it ready that I was wasting my time waiting there? Also, please fix the option on the kiosk when you select the chicken katsu; it should have the option or be defaulted with "White rice & mac salad" like your app. The kiosk is misleading and doesn't say you don't need to select "all rice" or the other up-charge options. So when she gave it to me and she said all rice I explained to her that I thought it was making me choose an option and she got defensive and said "No it doesn't." She eventually took it to the back to put mac salad then returned and rudely told me "Next time just don't select an option." Wow. It was not my fault that no one called me to tell me my order was ready. It was not my fault there was a flood of orders during dinner time. I like Oh My Grill but please do better with the customer service, especially with the person who's in charge at the front. I understand that it gets overwhelming when it's busy but the communication and customer service was just the worst. No one deserves to be treated like that especially when we come often. This was such a horrible experience.. Maybe won't come back for a while.

But, it is on our list of places we try to get to every time we are in Hawaii.

    We all ordered the same burger. Double cheese burger…read moredeluxe with dirty sauce The Grilled Apostle: 6/10 Ordered the double cheeseburger deluxe with dirty sauce from Forty Niner Restaurant. It looked huge and inviting. The burger itself tasted good as it was cooked with bread mixed in it to make it soft but once you started eating it, the burger fell apart. The bun was thin so it was messy as the sauce and burger started falling out and you needed a lot of napkins. Some people like it messy but it's not my thing. The onions and pickles were a perfect match. Too much American cheese. ________________________________________________ The Premium Purists: 5/10 I was looking forward to trying the burger at Forty Niners and hoped it would be an old fashioned/traditional style deluxe burger. It definitely had the look and right toppings but the patty was a little disappointing. After my first two bites the patties crumbled into pieces and the texture seemed off. It was too mushy and lacked good beef flavor. After learning they mix breadcrumbs in their burger patty, I think the patties I got were not mixed well and the ratio of beef and breadcrumb was off. That is probably why the texture was off, it lacked beef flavor, and crumbled. I would honestly give it another try and go with a single patty. ________________________________________________ The stack analyst: 7/10 Tried the double cheeseburger(dirty style) at 49ers and it was delicious. The fried pickles were the highlight for me. I love fried pickles and they worked really well on the burger. They also didn't hold back on the caramelized onions, which added flavor. The burger had four slices of cheese, so it was definitely rich. The patty had a nice sear on the outside, it did fall apart though. I would've liked a little more salt, but I know that comes down to preference. Bun was nothing special, just your standard setup, but it got the job done. I'd definitely come back and order it again! ________________________________________________ Double stack daddy: 6/10 The burger had a solid foundation, but it was missing flavor and could've used more seasoning. The biggest downside was the bun--it fell apart after the first bite, making the rest of the meal messy. Not a bad burger, but it didn't stand out, and there's definitely room for improvement. ________________________________________________ Bruddah big buns: 4/10 Da patty was mushy. ________________________________________________ Captain messy hands, keeper of the drip: 8/10
