First time customer, unfortunately was not able to take a picture, because I devoured my food. Overall, plenty of parking at this location, stopped by during lunch, owner provided great customer service and was undecided on what I wanted, there was so many options here. He provided what customers usually order and what he recommended. I got chicken katsu with beef, my buddy also order Hawaiian bbq mix, and we ordered bbq chicken masubi, first time having that. Food portion was packed, I was full and was barely half way done. Price was fair for the amount they give you. I would come back here instead of ONO. Overall they look like they have repeating customers, owner seems to know his usual which is a good sign. I definitely recommend. read more

We walked in expecting a place similar to one I had been to before. Many Hawaiian restaurants look alike and serve the same dishes. It was inside seating only, so we decided to give it a try. We ordered BBQ short ribs and fried shrimp with rice and macaroni salad. Any food made fresh usually tastes good. Not this time. The beef was dry, the fried shrimp was tough and overcooked. Making good food isn't hard, but this time Waikiki didn't deliver. I don't think I'll be back. They accept credit cards and cash. read more

This is always a great spot for a quick lunch bite when craving Hawaiian Food. Its a small business privately owned and service is always good here. Ambience is not much to write about - its functional and good for a quick lunch bite. They've have got a few small tables to grab a quick lunch and food is in the mark. My goto dishes here are Garlic Shrimp Plate, Chicken Katsu and Beef BBQ. Can't go wrong withe either of these. Always a good experience getting food from here ! read more

They have the BEST chicken katsu. I tried Aloha Stacks, Katsumura, Big Bros, the Loft, and they were disappointing. Katsu was crispy, generously breaded, and has good flavor. The portions are huge and plates are very affordable Service is fantastic, they communicate and are courteous. I definitely want to go back! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

I ordered a chicken teriyaki plate; it was pretty good. Except many pieces had loose fat so I had to remove it each time. They serve a lot of cabbage below the teriyaki chicken. If you are in a rush, I do recommend this place. The male cashier was pretty friendly as well. It is a small space inside. read more

I just stopped in and tried it out on the recommendation of AI since I'm catching a concert in Inglewood. What it lacks in character is more than made up by the quality of the food. It's a shame actually because this could be one of the best Hawaiian barbecue places if they would put a little bit of effort into doing something with the generic bland interior that only has four paper leis making up their entire decor. The beef dish is oddly looking very black, but it's delicious. I would highly recommend it. The Katsu chicken was fantastic in the short ribs were also very good. read more

Waikiki Hawaiian Grill - Outside sign - Hawaiian Near Me - Paramount, California

Pulled up and got me the mix plate, decent portion and around $16 I think. Anyway I only got one rib, took a bite, pretty good, like other spots I have tried. The chicken had also a decent flavor to it. The beef on the bottom was also alright, nothing to ride home about. I think this place does beat the big food chain Hawaiian Ono by a bit but not by much. The Mac was creamy, solid, straight to the point. Last but not least the rice was pretty bland and not fluffy. Kalbi Ribs: 7.8 Chicken: 7.2 Beef: 7.2 Rice: 5.9 Mac Salad: 7.8 read more

Waikiki Hawaiian Grill - Hawaiian BBQ Mix - Hawaiian Near Me - Paramount, California

I love Waikiki Hawaiian Grill. The inside has tables and chairs if you want to eat inside. Their portions are pretty big if you get a plate. I love their garlic shrimp plate and I always get double mac. The service is amazing. The aunty who works behind the counter and helps pack the food is always so kind, friendly, and helpful. I eat here often and always forget to take pictures of the food I order here. Highly recommend to check them out! You won't be disappointed. read more

Waikiki Hawaiian Grill - Chicken and Beef Combo - Hawaiian Near Me - Paramount, California

Came here since. It was in the way to my drive to LA and also cuz someone told me to get some Hawaiian food and I found this little gem! The place was def in the downtown area and was in a shopping center plaza. Parking was plenty and the inside had quite of seating inside. I had my order for dine in and just I saw it was huge (portion wise). And I only ate like 1/3 of it. So it was pretty generous for the price!!! The staff was pretty friendly and you can see them cook the food as well. It was super quick. Like I ordered and not even 5 min and boom it was out!! So fast and friendly!!! read more

Food is good. Ive had the beef, the spam musubi, and the mahi grilled and breaded. Everything has been tasty and nicely cooked. The staff is friendly. I look forward to returning. read more

This was good! Great price for the portion size. Those that helped me were very nice and friendly, I felt welcomed for my first time. I went during dinner time and with a dinner rush happening, the place was well kept and a great environmentz Anyways, I got half katsu and half bbq chicken plate (chicken combo) and the portion was big. The pepper flakes in the bbq chicken threw me off, but the flavor was still there. Katsu were thin, but I didn't mind. Kastu sauce was thin and runny, couldn't really get a good scoop of sauce with my katsu if that makes sense. A lot of cabbage underneath the chickens. Spam musubi was good, thin rice which was good. Nothing else to report! Good experience read more

This place feels like the baby of a hood chinese food spot married a fast food hawaiian spot. As dry and not fresh as the food was, it still had more taste than the Ono hawaiian food places One of the few places that has pot stickers, musubi and cran rangoons on the same menu. Def more variety and ordering flexibility than Ono. As mentioned, food was pretty dry. Was grilled fresh but you can taste its been sitting for a minute. Place is a little grimy, gives it character. Will prom come back just for the sides. read more

The most affordable Hawaiian food around and we have enjoyed everything we tried here. The portions are huge for an unbeatable price. My kids and I loved it. Service was great and food came out quick. We were able to replace the rice or veggie with more of the delicious macaroni salad which my kids loved because it doesn't have veggies in it. read more

I've been going here for years and the food has honestly never disappointed. It can be a little pricey depending on what you order, but it's definitely worth it because everything is always so good. We always get the teriyaki chicken , fired rice, the beef plate and it's consistently juicy and flavorful, and it comes with cabbage, rice, and mac salad. The mac salad is always super creamy and just hits every time. The service is easily a 10/10, they're always on top of everything and the food comes out fast. The place itself is pretty small, just a little spot but it gives it that cozy, local feel. Overall, I'd rate this place a 10/10 and I'll definitely keep coming back. read more

This review is for dine in, take out, and catering! lol as you can tell, we are a fan. We first discovered Waikiki about a year ago. Started with just ordering take out and then we dined in once on a weekend lunch. Takeout was always super easy and food was fresh. The one time we dined in, it was also a great experience. The restaurant had two entrances, so it's easy to get in and out. Order comes out quick and you can see how their kitchen works. Super easygoing vibe. We recently ordered their food for a 80 people party. They were very easy to work with and were wiling to accommodate to our requests (ie putting food in separate trays etc). The ordering and pick up process were seamless, and our guests loved the food. Highly recommend! read more

A Hidden Gem for Hawaiian Comfort Food! I found a true hole-in-the-wall when it comes to Hawaiian food -- and it did not disappoint! This friendly, family-run spot serves up incredible fried rice, noodles, and all the Hawaiian classics with portions that are absolutely huge and flavors that are supremely satisfying. Let's start with the variety: you can mix and match so many options to create your perfect plate. My mom highly recommends it! You can place an order to go or enjoy your meal there -- either way, the staff is incredibly warm and welcoming. My husband ordered the combo mix and was shocked by how big it was... he couldn't even finish it! My brother loved the loco moco, especially with the rich gravy (they even gave extra on the side). I was blown away by the generous size of the kalbi ribs -- so flavorful -- and the chicken katsu was perfectly crispy and fresh. My brother also tried the Hawaiian-style fried rice and gave it two thumbs up. If you're craving Hawaiian comfort food, this place is a must-try. The food, the portions, and the service make it a spot we'll definitely be coming back to again and again. Don't miss it -- you won't be disappointed! read more

This spot is low-key fire I rolled into Waikiki Grill not expecting much, just craving something different--and the shrimp plate delivered. First off, the portion was solid. They don't play around. Shrimp were grilled to perfection--juicy, tender, with a buttery garlic flavor that smacked hard in the best way. None of that overcooked rubbery mess some places serve up. These were legit. Came with rice and mac salad, island-style. The rice was fluffy and soaked up all that garlic sauce like a champ. And the mac salad? Creamy, cool, and hit that sweet contrast to balance out the savory shrimp. You could taste the island influence without having to fly 6 hours to get it. Staff was chill and got the food out quick. Place is clean, simple, and you can tell they care about the food. If you're in Paramount and want something flavorful, filling, and slightly tropical without paying a tourist tax, Waikiki Grill's shrimp plate is a move. I'll be back to run it back--or maybe try the short ribs next. read more

Great portions and price comparable to similar options. I got the Hawaiian combo mix (bbq beef, bbq chicken & beef short ribs) & a chicken katsu. I feel like the bbq beef & chicken here are less fatty & not as dry compared to other places. I preferred the katsu here as well - it didn't feel like it was heavy breading. Ordered everything to go via phone & service was very fast and efficient! read more

Waikiki Hawaiian Grill - Hawaiian fried rice Mmm so good - Hawaiian Near Me - Paramount, California

The food here is amazing. I decided to try the mini version of the plate I usually get and went with the chicken katsu mini and I still had leftovers!!! The man taking my order was super friendly and generous with the condiments. He did mess up on one of the items on my order, I ordered the mini beef plate and got the mini bbq chicken, miscommunication but the restaurant is loud with all the cooking going on right behind him so I won't give him any fault! I went as soon as it opened, order 3 meals and a side and took about 15 mins but there were plenty tables and chairs to sit at while I waited. read more

Walked in here for a quick bite and was surprised by the taste and quality! The staff here was welcoming and kindly took my order. I ordered the classic bbq chicken plate and the chicken was so tender and flavorful. The macaroni salad was also good. The price was affordable for such a big serving size, it was enough to last me 2 meals. Will be back if I am in the area again! Plenty of seating inside and plenty of parking space in the plaza. read more

This review is strictly for the food at Waikiki Hawaiian Grill. We ordered a big spread that included the fried rice, pineapple fried rice, loco moco, spam musubis, and the Hawaiian plate with barbecue chicken, teriyaki chicken, and katsu chicken. The portions were huge--definitely enough to feed several people. We spent around $75 and ended up with way more food than expected. The pineapple fried rice was the clear standout--sweet, savory, and full of flavor. Everything else was solid, though nothing really blew us away. Still, the food overall was satisfying, especially if you're hungry or dining with a group. We'd definitely go back if we were already in the area, but probably wouldn't make a special trip just for it. If you're nearby and craving Hawaiian-style comfort food, it's worth checking out. read more

This is my Go to for combination fried rice and House noodles! The food is delicious and the service is really great. I definitely recommend the combo fried rice, I get mine without the pineapple. Also get the house noodles and a side of macaroni salad. The location is in a small plaza. There's about 8-10 tables to sit and some more seating in the outside area. A lot of parking for sure. I usually order on the phone and in 10 mins it's ready to pick up and enjoy at home read more

By far the best place for Hawaiian-style food for a reasonable price. This place is amazing. I've been coming here for years, and the quality of the food has always been on point. I've never been disappointed when coming here. Customer service is always great. The inside of the restaurant isn't that big, but you'll be able to find a place to eat because most people get their food to go. I definitely recommend trying this place out. Tell them Lee sent you. Lol. read more

food is really good been coming here for years but ive noticed the new plastic serving plates they use now carry less food which leads to less serving portions and their prices have gone up i just dont think its fair . . will hesitate to come back now its way different before you were able to get a generous amount of food for the price now this place has gone downhill . . it was better when they served with their old foam serving plates read more

Both times trying this place the food is good, fresh and on point. I've only tried the chicken teriyaki plates with rice and Mac salad. Not much flavor from the Mac salad.
