Got take out here and ordered online. I got the bbq chicken and beef combo. It came with a side of macaroni salad and rice. The salad was solid, but I wasn't a huge fan of the chicken. It was a little dry, but they gave the sauce on side so that helped. I'm used to more tangy and sweet teriyaki sauce their sauce didn't really seem like teriyaki based; more savory and sour if anything. The beef was good! Super tender. Overall it was a solid lunch for the price, but not my favorite Hawaiian bbq dish I've had. The staff was nice. There is seating inside as well. I just got takeout. read more

QQ Aloha BBQ - Bbq chicken and beef - Asian Fusion Near Me - Lompoc, California

Ordered via door dash - and arrived to my place within 10 min, which probably means it was all pre cooked and then put together since I'm 1 mile away. Sauce came on the side - didn't really remind me of a teriyaki sauce it's more tangy and soy sauce tasting or I guess like a watery A1. Tried all meats without the sauce chicken was cooked well, not dry at all. The beef had a weird after taste. Short rib was good, nothing was overcooked. Wish the meat was topped over cabbage like other Hawaiian spots instead of a lettuce salad ( which of course I didn't eat) Mac salad had a good mayo to macaroni ratio but didn't taste like anything it was extremely bland. Musubi - wish the spam was a bit thicker but the rice ratio was good, rice was cooked to perfection. Spam wasn't cooked in sauce nor was there sauce in-between the rice and spam. Missing the sauce - so I tried it with the sauce I mentioned above but not a fan of the sauce so didn't like it together. read more

Order the $15.00 combo plate and it was terrible. Chicken was burnt, no seasoning on anything! Huge disappointment. All the meat was over cooked. Mostly they gave me rice, a tablespoon of macaroni salad. I will never order again! read more

Save your money, it's not worth it and definitely would not recommend it. Craved hawaiian bbq, walked in shortly after they just opened. Not even 5 mins after I ordered and sitting down at a table, I already got my food, to which I questioned. I didn't hear any grilling going on, it was cold when I opened the container and it tasted bland, no seasoning. I usually don't complain but i started to feel nauseous a couple of hours later... Not going back ever again. read more

We use to order from here a couple times a month- loved the Kobe ribs, beef and chicken plates, island salad & family meals. But the last 2 times we've been extremely disappointed by the taste and quality of the food. The island salad use to be crisp iceberg lettuce, edamame, and shredded carrots with a delicious sesame base dressing. The last 2 times- the salad was bagged iceberg with previously frozen peas & carrots- no edamame- nothing fresh. The ribs use to have flavor and have a nice grilled char without being dry- these times they taste like they were microwaved! Very chewy, bland flavor, no sauce or grill marks whatsoever. The rice and macaroni salad was dry- nothing like before. Needless to say unless we find out the old cook is back we won't be ordering from here again. read more

really great food! everything is seasoned really well! will have again :) also can't beat the prices for the amount of food you get is very reasonable ($10-18) read more

I have eaten here a hand full of times and the food is always really good, I have no complaints

Worst rice I've ever had in my life ... mushy on the outside and crunchy in the middle - not edible. I don't even know how you can mess rice up this bad ! I can't support a restaurant that doesn't quality check the one side dish that is essential to 95% of their dishes offered. Masubi also had the rice and a very very thin slice of spam. I don't recommend this restaurant. read more

It was a sub-mediocre version of L&L. Nothing was done really well. The short ribs were not it though. Even the rice was mushy. The inside wasn't particularly clean. The girl at the counter was pleasant though. read more

Extremely delicious food! I ordered the BBQ chicken mini meal and my husband ordered the spam musubi. It took a minute to get but that's because everything is made to order (my husband even said the musubi was too hot and had to wait for it to cool down). It was extremely delicious and exactly what we needed for our little beach picnic :) One star was lost because the inside of the restaurant seemed a little bit dirty and maybe needs a bit of an update! read more

QQ Aloha BBQ - BBQ Chicken mini meal - Asian Fusion Near Me - Lompoc, California

First order was disappointing, second was very disappointing. Gave them a third chance after some time--still a letdown. Dry rice, flavorless meat, spam musubi with zero taste, and to top it off, hair in my wife's food. The mac salad was the only thing worth eating, and that's where the lone star comes from. As for all these glowing 5-star reviews? Either everyone else's taste buds retired early, or someone's paying for fake praise, because there's no way we ate at the same place. read more

This is a great place for great comfort food! The spam music is on point and the staff are so friendly. 10/10 would recommend to anyone visiting or living in Lompoc. read more

I don't usually write reviews but... Came here on my lunch break, was craving bbq. I ordered the bbq short ribs, and they were super disappointing. Literally 75% of my food was inedible, all fat and bone. And it literally looked like they just threw all the food into the box, it was super messy. Also the cashier was super rude. She took a phone call (on her phone) in the middle of me ordering. Maybe I just caught them on a bad day, but that's crazy. read more

My first time into Aloha BBQ and it won't be my last. I tried the spam musubi and chicken platter. Wow! The smoked spam went perfect with the sticky rice. The chicken cutlet was light, moist, and flavorful. Next time I'll try the fish. read more

I shouldn't expect the food quality and portions to be anything like the Hawaiian drive inn joints in Northern California. Shrimp was puny. Chicken katsu was meh. Could've went to Panda Express for egg rolls and wonton things. Spam Musubi was lacking that glaze that I'm so spoiled with but I was hungry. They have a lot of sauce packets. The girl taking my order was very sweet. read more

First time coming here won't be coming back. We ordered the appetizer sampler and they didn't give any sauce, katsu chicken was burnt also didn't come with katsu sauce, rice was over cooked, bbq ribs was tasteless, etc etc etc read more

Ok, I'm a sucker for Hawaiian BBQ. If I ever happen to roll through a town and see a random plate lunch restaurant, I'm there. QQ Aloha BBQ in Paso Robles totally surprised me; we "accidentally" passed it looking for another place and I had to try it. I ordered the BBQ Beef and Chicken combo and was super impressed! The serving size was abundant and I loved the marinade/sauce on the meat and poultry. The mac salad and rice were spot on as well. The prices are super reasonable and there is plenty to grind on. There was a constant stream of people when I was there, but food was prepared very promptly. read more

Terrible rice every time we come here. So overcooked. Decent bbq chicken and crab rangoons read more

The food is yummy and prepared quickly and the portion sizes are generous. The macaroni salad is excellent and so is the chicken and the sauce they use. The prices are reasonable and it's a clean causal place. You can eat in or take out. read more

I am not from the Central Coast area but went here with my husband. their food is to die for! now i know where to go when i'm in town! Good price and good service. Would definitely come back again! read more

I think every city and every town should have its own Hawaiian BBQ locale. I might be sounding a bit over the top but to me this holds true. This kind of food is something different altogether. A perfect meal for lunch or dinner. The chicken Katsu with the macaroni salad is the staple for me. Even bolder, grab the combo with the short rib added, grandiose to say the least. read more

The indoors was clean but no seating due to covid. The inside was clean and the staff was very friendly. The food was tasty but only with the help of extra BBQ sauce. The beef was tough and grisly. The chicken was cooked well. The food lacked color and isn't appetizing to look at. Overall the meal was quick and cheap but did taste okay. read more

QQ Aloha BBQ - First time here. Getting the Aloha BBQ mix with Mac salad BBQ chicken with the white rice plus the sampler - Asian Fusion Near Me - Lompoc, California

I'd never had "Hawaiian" food before. Or I didn't think I'd had? Anyway, my husband really likes a place in Goleta that he frequented when we lived there. So he wanted to try this place out. Unsure of what I would like, he suggested I get teriyaki chicken because I know I like that. So I tell him sure, just get me the bowl. I don't like macaroni salad etc. He texts me they don't have teriyaki sauce so he got me bbq sauce on the side. Alright whatever I'll give it a shot. He also ordered the appetizer sampler that had a variety of fried items. I dip the chicken in the "BBQ" sauce and it tastes like teriyaki...call it whatever you want, that's teriyaki sauce lol. But hey, it was good so I poured it over my chicken and white rice bowl. It was tasty, on par with every other place ive had teriyaki chicken. The prices are also super reasonable. It was only like 5-6$ for the bowl and it was a perfect lunch size for me. The reason for not having 5 stars though is that appetizer. It was so bad. The fried shrimp were basically inedible, the sesame balls were naaasstty, egg rolls were not good, chicken dumplings were meh, and the crab rangoons, I mean, it's cream cheese and dough, so those were fine. I'd go back for a small lunch again, I'd just skip the apps. read more

It's your typical hole-in-the-wall hawaiian fusion place. QQ is really similar to L&L and it reminds me of the late night food I used to eat back home. The food is pretty good. I think I got the 36(?) It's the korean kalbi ribs with bulgogi and fried shrimp. Kalbi was a little fatty but it makes sense because you're paying so cheap for an incredible amount of food. By the end of my meal, I was beyond full and I had to save my leftovers and share it with a roommate. It did get a little busy when I was there, so I suggest ordering online and picking it up! read more

Pretty good Hawaiian bbq. Would recommend for takeout , the inside seating is probably good for lunch.

Ordered fried shrimp, grilled mahi mahi, and short rib plate lunch along with SPAM musubi and the sesame balls. The ribs were flavorful and not greasy, the shrimp ok but a little dry, the fish was very good but I'm not positive it was really mahi mahi. Nice to get sesame balls but I thought a bit expensive for 6 small balls. Unfortunately what ruined the meal was the rice. It was only partially cooked and basically inedible. The same with the musubi. The person who made the meal would have known the rice was not the right texture but still served it out. I had brought a friend's there thinking the food in the past was fine. It did not leave a good impression with her. read more

There bbq chicken was tender and flavorful. The rice was cooked just right and reminded me of the rice we eat in Hawaii. The macaroni salad was also very good and reminded me of Hawaii. Next time I would order more macaroni salad with tummy meal. The prices were good and they offered takeout with Covid going on. read more

We (the Mrs, a friend and I) chose to go here because of the reviews on yelp. The Mrs and I got the #1 on the menu, and my friend got the spicy bowl and dumplings. The food was great. I think the portion sizes were appropriate for what we got but I think I would get a bigger portion option on the menu next time. My friend requested I add that when they say spicy... it's spicy! Overall great food. Would recommend. read more

Had to review and give 5 stars after the amazing service we got here. There was a misunderstanding with our order and it was fixed right away. Our food came out quickly and we weee given some makeshift plates to use for our kids. The family meal was a great deal and good size for our family of 6. We enjoyed our meal and the owner even helped us clear our stuff while we were trying to do that and herd our kids out the door. Would recommend for the food and family-friendly service. read more

Lots of food , decent prices. Always packed, order to go or eat in. Cashiers always pleasant and helpful.

The food through out the years of eating here has always been a good experience. BUT lately something has changed. I really don't like to give a negative review unless I am extremely disappointed on consistency. " to the owners" you lost my business read more

Order Crab Rangoons, Chicken Katsu and Beef Short Ribs! Prices are great. Food was delicious. Portions are perfect.

Solid example of very good food. Had the Katsu Chicken and enjoyed it. Ample serving with white rice and macaroni salad. Nice sweet sauce available which does add to the taste quite nicely. Atmosphere is okay, but would suggest take out ad the best option because of limited seating. Nice people and good service. read more
