Decided to switch it up and try a new Hawaiian BBQ spot and I'm so glad I did! I'm a serious Loco Moco lover, and when the gravy is right, there's honestly nothing better. Moana absolutely nailed it. The beef patties were packed with flavor, topped with a perfectly over-medium egg that brought the whole thing together like magic. This is THE one! And let's talk portions... huge. Definitely enough to share or enjoy again the next day. The BBQ chicken was just as generous and flavorful. I personally love mine extra extra well done , I need to see that char! I tossed it in the air fryer for about five minutes and it came out exactly how I like it. The mac salad was on point, and I appreciated the cabbage and broccoli on the side because you need a little veggie balance with meals this satisfying. Overall, everything was fresh, flavorful, and seriously comforting. I'll absolutely be back! read more

The BEST place to get Hawaiian BBQ in Vallejo. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place is clean inside with quick service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food is fresh with HUGE portions. The katsu and bbq chicken were both moist and delicious. You can also ask to sub the rice for mac salad, which is the move imo. read more

Moana Hawaiian BBQ - Chicken Katsu炸鸡 - Hawaiian Near Me - Vallejo, California

Quick Hawaiian bbq spot at the edge of this outlet mall, solid place for quick food with huge portions. Service was quick and friendly and place was decently clean. Food was pretty good and filling, and the fish was huge, but it had too much breading. Definitely a solid choice if you're looking for Hawaiian bbq in the area. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The first thing Ive noticed was how clean is their restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I like that. The lady was very nice as well. Now the food was fresh, delicious, moist and a good portion. I ate only half and I was so full. This is my new favorite Hawaiian restaurant now in Vallejo/American Canyon. read more

This is only based on a party tray order. I called the day of, placed an order for katsu chicken to pick up later in the day. Paid over the phone and easy peasy pick up. Had a steady flow of customers. The portion was huge! And it was really good! The chicken was meaty, not all batter. Definitely looking forward to try other items on the menu. read more

Came with family and got the family meal, oh boy is it filling. Fed 3 adults and 2 kids. More than enough. Price was great too. Will be coming back. read more

Ordered a couple times with door dash. Their portion is huge! I ordered the chicken combo and they came with 4 big pieces of chicken. The katsu is crispy! We also tried their spam musubi. However we thought the rice is too much to the proportion of the spam. But they are tasty! read more

This place is good, but if you're local to the area, we know nobody can compete with Got Plate Lunch in Benicia for island food. Read more if you're an island girlie and also need an authentic review for taste. I liked everything at Moana from the service, to the value and price and overall taste. And I'll emphasize value again! Where can you get a Mini Hawaiian plate with A LOT of meat for only 9.95?? Mini Kalua pork - 9/10 The smoked flavor was just right. The meat wasn't dry. The steamed rice was cooked properly. I'm alright with cabbage. Odd to get a steamed brocolli though,I mean I like veggies so it's cool but not typical. Mini chicken katsu - 9/10 Again good amount of portions. Maybe more breading but that's okay, that seems to be the usual these days. BUT I don't think this establishment has "katsu" sauce. We broke out our Japanese bulldog sauce at home. Loco moco - 7/10 Also agree with other yelpers that the gravy isn't enough and the color and taste of gravy isn't on point. Also the egg wasn't runny, but fully cooked through. My son was sad when I tried to prick the egg yolk and nothing happened. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is a quick to go spot with some tables if you want to dine in. But it's like your typical Hawaiian drive in for fast food![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Customer service was good, they're friendly. Again this place is popular for walk ins, takes, door dash and more! They got the food business down! read more

I have been here four times and it has been excellent each time. From the combos to the family meals, the food has been on point. Great flavor, generous portions and friendly service. Some of my favorite dishes are the Kalbi Short Ribs, Katsu Chicken and the Mac salad is addictive. I recently visited the Hawaii and I honestly thought the Mac salad was better than in Hilo, no joke! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The only downside is the restaurant like a lot of good places in Vallejo is in a sketchy strip mall.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But, it's worth the trip. read more

Quality/Quantity - Got two orders of chicken musubis (four pieces total); see picture. Overall good flavors. Generous amounts of rice... See picture. Generous sauces; see pictures.

Plenty of tables. Most customers seemed to take to-go; including me[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]"Hidden" restroom; see pictures.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Open 7 days a week from 10:30am to 8:30pm. Plenty of mall parking. Service - Good, very efficient. I think when I sat down, my food was already ready, lol. Price - $12; reasonably priced for what we got. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success at this location since July of 2024. We are regular customers at your San Leandro location also. read more

My partner and I stayed in a hotel down the road and I found this place on Yelp. Wow! What an experience. Not only is the food excellent quality, they are extremely generous of their portions. The curry sauce was delicious. I also tried the teriyaki and katsu sauce (I'm a saucy gal) and every single one of them was super yummy! Truly one of those occasions where you're sad when you get full. To make the experience even better, the customer service was supreme! The woman working there checked on us multiple times and was ready with a to-go bag when we were finished eating. Prices are very fair and this is definitely going to be my new go-to place next time we're in town. read more

Amazing!! We have always wanted to try this place and after five years of living in Vallejo we finally did. :) Great deal on the mini chicken jatsu meal, delicious lumpia, great fried shrimp, and the ribs we're making my hubby grin!!! Really love that we tried it. Will order again. read more

The amount of food and the quality of food can't be beat. It's fresh, delicious, plentiful, and we have never been disappointed. Definitely give them a try. Favorites are the loco moco, chicken katsu, lumpia and potstickers. Give them a try! You will be a repeat customer! read more

The food was good& the portions were the right amount in regards to pricing; but I got mislead by word "vegetables"-- in my mind, I'm thinking a variety of veggies: carrots /corn /broccoli /cauliflower ... I wasn't expecting just cabbage only.. read more

My parents like to order their short ribs from here and instead of rice they ask for more macaroni salad. Service is good, plenty of parking located next to DD's Discounts. There is a security presence in the area. I enjoy their short ribs and Mac salad from here. read more

New Hawaiian BBQ spot located in the Seafood City plaza in Vallejo! The prices are all really fair and the portion size is huge. We got the laulau and kalua pork. The pork & taro leaves in the laulau was really tender and flavorful! The kalua pork was a bit on the drier side, I also wish they shredded the cabbage and mixed it throughout the dish rather than giving whole cabbage leaves under the pork. The mac salad was tasty and not too saucy. This spot satisfies my Hawaiian BBQ cravings and I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area! read more

If you want hawaiian BBQ and dont mind the drive. All of your favorites are here except the Mac salad (doesn't taste right) for 30% cheaper than other BBQ spots. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very small location with only 6 tables to dine in but order ahead because it gets busy[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

They aren't kidding about generous portions! Each combo meal would likely be enough protein for 2.5 meals! We came here on a whim after the gym. I will admit the location isn't the nicest looking. But there is plenty of parking and the food is worth the trip! The food was delicious and so reasonably priced! We ordered the moku chicken combo plate and the aloha bbq combo plate. Those are the two most popular. They also have a large selection of Hawaiian sun. Three drinks and the two combo plates came out to about $37. The food is all packaged in a to-go container complete with utensils and condiments. But there is seating if you just can't wait to get home to dig in. The ambiance is very casual. It looks mostly like a grab and go set up. The chicken was moist and flavorful! My aloha bbq plate had two large pieces of the short ribs, two large pieces of chicken breast, and another protein on top of rice, Mac salad, and some cabbage and broccoli. The moku chicken plate came with at least two large pieces of katsu chicken and also the bbq chicken. The owner was also very sweet. She asked if we were cold because the door was opened and offered to close it. If you're in the mood for Hawaiian bbq give Moana a try! I'll definitely be back at some point to try more. read more

I haven't had the opportunity to eat at the actual restaurant but I have ordered here via DoorDash/Uber Eats and every time I received my order I was very satisfied. The food portions are really big and it tastes delicious too! I love the veggies that they add- other Hawaiian restaurants do not include veggies. So far (knock on wood) every time I've ordered they have gotten my order correct, it's packaged securely, and I'm just overall pleased. Definitely a must try if you're looking for something fast and a good bang for your buck! read more

Large portions given. That is reason enough to return! But here's more: [[HIGHLIGHT]]tasty food, nice selection, clean restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And service is spot on.

Food is awesome! They serve a huge portion and the staff is really friendly! I highly recommend it!!

Ordered Katsu Chicken times two for my honey and me. Huge portions, the chicken hard to chew and really kind of tough. The Katsu Sauce was good and had a small kick of heat with the sweet., The rice was fine. The macaroni salad was a bit bland, just a bit disappointing. I was really wanting to like it because I prefer supporting local small businesses over chain restaurants. read more

Hubby and I have tried their combo plates twice and we have enjoyed the food and the service. The portions are generous and priced affordable too. The spam musubi is also good. I look forward to trying many more of the offerings. I also appreciate the family meal deals they have too! The inside is small, cozy and welcoming and the workers here are all sweet and friendly. read more

On a night we couldn't decide what to eat, we settled on this establishment serving Hawaiian food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is relatively small with a few tables to dine in if you like.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When you enter the restaurant the counter/cashier is in front where you'll place your order and on the side wall was a fridge with a variety of drinks to choose from. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The dining area was clean and the person taking the order was helpful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The menu had your favorite Hawaiian dishes we ended up with buying a family meal for us all. It came with rice, macaroni salad and choices of meat. We chose bbq chicken, bbq beef and chicken Katsu. We also got Spam Masubi. It was plenty of food for us all and we had leftovers. For the price and a craving check this spot out. read more

Love this place! Generous portions, quick service, easy online ordering. I often get Katsu and most places make it fine. Moana does it perfectly. Even my picky daughter loves it. The Kalbi ribs are also very good. The prices are really reasonable. The ala carte small items are best for small kids. The macaroni isn't my favorite. The veggies they hide under the meat are crisp and fresh. read more

customer service was very friendly, quick & efficient. [[HIGHLIGHT]]it was empty when i went in but it was cleanly & nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] my boyfriend & i ordered the salmon combo & the battered white fish combo. they both came with rice, macaroni salad & steamed veggies. the cashier told us it would take 10 minutes for a to go order so we went next door to DD's & came back 10 minutes later & it was ready just on time which i loved! the battered fish came with 3 servings which i also loved! the macaroni salad was amazing, the only thing i would sort of complain about is i only received one broccoli & the rest cabbage in my steamed veggies. the salmon was also really good but i honestly prefer the fried fish. i will be back when in vallejo! 10/10 recommend. read more

When you've gone to one Hawaiian BBQ place, you've gone to them all. This one is no different, but yet, it is slightly different. First, I will explain the negatives. And then I will explain why the positives outweigh the negatives. I got the kalua pork combo. This is my tester dish for Hawaiian places. The macaroni salad was disappointing. Practically the whole reason I go to a Hawaiian place is for the macaroni salad lol. The sauce was inedibly sweet to my taste. I'm sure some people love it. It seemed even sweeter than pure sugar syrup if that is even possible. The plus is that it comes on the side. Now for the positives. Portions are generous. Sometimes there's just a thin layer of meat covering up all the veggies. They give a very generous helping of meat plus a decent amount veggies + not too much rice. So it was a good balance and there was a lot of meat. The best part was that, even though a lot of Hawaiian places say they serve BBQ, you can't really taste any smoky flavor. At this place, the Kalua pork had a really nice, distinctly smoky flavor and the pork was very good on its own without any sauce. Conclusion: due to the generous and very tasty, smoky pork, this place is a good value and I will be back. read more

The food was very tasty. Katsu sauce tastes homemade. Perfect balance of savory, sweet, and some tanginess. I love the large amount of steamed veggies (cabbage and broccoli). The one star reduction was on the temp of the chicken. It was warm vs hot fresh out of the fryer. I would've loved it more if it was hotter (temp), but I also appreciate that it was an edible temperature where I didn't burn my mouth. Looking forward to trying their other menu items. read more

Ordered a to go of bbq and short rib $19.50 total including tax. Food is good, portions too. It is similar to the ones we usually order from a different place but 10mins away. I was surprised inside as it is nice clean and spacious as compared to what I was thinking because looks like a small narrow area from the outside. Lots of signs and posters of the menu, simple easy to read and order. This one is near me and will try them again. This is a new business, they replaced Cabalen. Located in the same plaza of Seafood City, it is next to DDs and Lees Garden. Ample of parking space in the plaza. Recommended. read more
