    My orange chicken had 0% chicken inside, just fried gross small nuggets that you can eat. My BBQ chicken turned out to have teriyaki sauce on it and I had an allergic reaction and went to hospital. The manager refused to refund or fix my order the next day so I called my bank and a lawyer. Won $100,000. Avoid this place it's literally dangerous!

    Finally, a new Hawaiian BBQ spot in San Rafael--and it does not disappoint! The BBQ chicken is a standout: marinated to perfection, packed with flavor, and incredibly tender. The portions are generous, making it a great value for the price. If you're craving island comfort food done right, this place is a must-try. You really have to taste it to believe it.

    Chicken Katsu Plate
    James A.

    Inside everything looked clean, service was good. I got the Katsu plate and some Crab Rangoons. The Katsu was very dry and tough, way overcooked. The Rangoons didn't come with any sauce :(, Rangoons with no sauce aren't very good. I won't be going back, food was a huge strike out.

    My order 2 scoops of macaroni salad But no chicken katsu that I was charged for and didn't rec

    I ordered through door dash for pick up everything was fine but I'm missing a whole chicken katsu plate. Instead of going through door dash and making it a hassle I called and was completely rational explained I just opened it when I got home. The employee then told me "well I don't have an extra order so have a good night" and hung up. Terrible customer handling skills. Door dash won't give me a refund because it was a pick up and their staff doesn't care enough to meet in any middle ground

    Hawaiian bbq mix

    The restaurant was fairly clean. I'm guessing the area that wasn't may have just been occupied and they hadn't had a chance yet. I wanted some katsu and galbi. I told the very helpful gentleman at the register and he suggested bbq katsu mix. But when I looked closer at the menu I realized it didn't have galbi. So he changed it to the Hawaiian Bbq mix. I thought he suggested that because it had katsu and galbi. When I got home I thought they forgot the katsu but realized there was no combo that had both. So once I came to terms with the fact that I did not have katsu, I tasted everything. It was delicious. All the meats were tender and tasty. The sauces were good over the rice and meats. The portions were great for the price. I would definitely get again but next time forgo the galbi to taste the katsu. Can't give a 5 because I have had better but it was good and I would get again. 4.5 if it was possible.

    Chicken katsu was crispy but the macaroni salad was basic. Quick service but I wish they put a little moreintoe into their food quality.

    The food is fresh, flavorful and you get plenty of it. Plus, it's cheaper than a flight to Hawaii.

    Was looking for a place that does a good Chicken or Pork Katsu so decided to try Mauna Loa Hawaiian…read moreBBQ. I went in off hours, 230 pm in the afternoon. The inside was clean but dated, Upon Entry I was immediately seated, The hostess was very was nice and was able to answer my questions on the menu. Ordered the dinner portion of the Chicken Katsu with rice and macaroni salad, Egg Rolls, and the Fried Gyoza. The Gyoza's came out first, These were really good as they weren't deep fried but pan fried with slightly crispy bottom with chewy top. The sauce that they give you with the Gyoza's went well along with the green onions. The Egg Roles came out next, They were good as well and freshly fried. The sweat and sour sauce went well with the rolls, wasn't too sweet but had a bit of spice as well. The Chicken Katsu plate we next, the Katsu was freshly fried which perfect as it keeps the breading from getting hard or to crunchy and the chicken juicy. The Katsu sauce went well with the chicken rice and macaroni salad as well. Overall I enjoyed my experience and will come back to try other items on the menu in the future. A bit of advice, parking is tough in downtown San Rafael, If you go during prime dining hours expect to have to look for parking if you're driving.

    Tried this spot because of the good reviews. But if you have been to Hawaii, I can't recommend this…read morespot because the flavors did not remind me of Hawaii at all. Also, nothing is served with mac salad... The prices are pretty decent for SF. Maybe that's why this place is popular. They are takeout only and have one bench outside for you to eat at if it's free. Tried the garlic shrimp, the moco loco (idk why they swap the words), and the furikake chicken. Also had a spam musubi (when I ordered online for pick up, I couldn't add egg which is usually an option according to the Toast website). The garlic shrimp was missing a flavor that Hawaii has in their garlic shrimp. The color was very red but it was not spicy. They do have an option to make it spicy though. It was bland to me compared to what I'm used to when I visit Hawaii. The moco loco gravy was good, but the beef patty tasted dry and overcooked. They did have a runny egg too but it was oddly underneath the patties, so we broke the eggs while trying to split the beef amongst 3 people. The furikake chicken is probably better if you eat it right away since it's lightly breaded. We took it home so by the time we ate it, it was soggy. The sauce it is cooked in is a little sweet and wasn't too bad. The soggy chicken ruined the texture for me though. Each dish was served with a little bit of cabbage which I liked to get a little greens in the meals. The spam musubi didn't taste like it had any sauce, and they used so much furikake underneath the spam, that it made it taste fishy. Would not recommend. I can't comment on the service much since I ordered online for pickup. The guy who handed me my food after asking my name was nice and polite though. The only reason I'd come back is to try to the shave ice. The group in front of me got 3 for their kids, and it looked tasty. I would not come back for the food, but at least the prices aren't bad for SF standards.

    A solid place for take out. Small menu, but they have a lot of Hawaiian classics. I got half orders…read moreof the shrimp + sausage, moco loco, and furikake chicken. It was pretty filling for two people. They give a lot of rice. Wish there was more protein. Everything was good though. Seems like they have lunch specials during the week for high schoolers at Lincoln. Would come back to try the shaved ice.

    a chicken katsu that measures out to two meals, great deal alert!…read more so I have been here many times, tried the chicken katsu, hawaiian bbq chicken, aloha bbq chicken, and white island fish, which is about half the menu, and always great and always filling so a chicken katsu comes with two scoops of rice, one scoop of mac salad, a small bed of cabbage, some steamed brocolli, and three crispy and juicy pieces of chicken. There are two dipping sauces, a plum based katsu sauce, and a soy sauce hybrid. The katsu sauce has a little bit of heat, but mild enough that my SO whom normally does not eat any spicy, can handle it. Which ever combo or item you pick, it's outstanding. Because the items have a lot of food, I usually skip the appetizers. So for either lunch or dinner, you have two meals out of any items. Service is great, I usually order on the phone and pick it up, but ordering in person or online is fast, staff is great and friendly. the decor is simple and the place is very clean. There are about seven tables and parking can be limited when the place is busy.

Also had the hamburger steak lots of rice underneath the patties and not enough gravy. The beef patties were large but it no beef flavor; more breadcrumbs. Service was very nice the girl at the counter was cordial. The ambience was that of a cafeteria; a few tables white paint. I was hoping the food would make up for sparseness; I will try it again maybe different choices and maybe a better review.
