    Hawaiian BBQ Beef Chicken Katsu
    David B.

    I've always treated this place as a quick in and out for spam musubi (when I've needed a fast meal) and I never took the time to actually see what else was on this places menu... hence this review of a bbq beef and katsu combo. Venturing out, by looks alone you can see they pack it up pretty well. Few scoops of rice, your Mac salad, and self serve sauce (if you're a sauce lover it's perfect). There are those times where you see a picture and you just know the food was good, this was absolutely one of those times. The meats were warm and tender, no rubbery texture or hard to pull. The sauce put the cherry on top, and for the price I was blown away. It has since been added as part of my regular going out list, and I'm mad I didn't try anything else sooner. The lady at the counter is so sweet and she works extremely hard, [[HIGHLIGHT]]there's decent amount of seating inside but tables in the courtyard if it's a nice day out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You won't be disappointed with this Hawaiian bbq joint!

    Asked for 6, gave 3 and 2 spilled. Now I only have 1 cup to eat with 2 orders spam musubi and katsu mix..

    I had a really disappointing experience with Young Hawaiian Barbecue in Chino. I ordered delivery and spent over $31+, but when I asked for six cups of katsu sauce, they said I could only get three. In the past, even at the store, they have the sauce available on the counter wide open, but this time, it felt really stingy. It's frustrating because I couldn't fully enjoy my meal. Instead of prioritizing customer satisfaction, it felt like they were saving a few cents. I might give ono hawaiian a try since they are also on uber. Same price and same tip for the driver. I dont lose anything. This was a letdown for customer that ordered 2x at least a month from ubereats (March 29th, march 22th,Feb 21st, Feb 15th) Good luck‼

    Kalbi Short Ribs Plate

    If you're in Chino Hills and want comfort Hawaiian food. Give Young Hawaiian BBQ a try. They seem to have a lot of steady walk-in as well as phone orders. It's a small little place with five or so tables for sit down eating. Nothing fancy, everything is about the food. The owner is really friendly and greeted us when we came in. Placed our order and waited. The owner brought us this tasty sugar coated what essentially is a doughnut ball for us to snack on while we waited for our order. That was unexpected and really welcomed by my two "always hungry teenagers". My son ordered the two item combo and i feel that is really a great deal for about $14 you get to choose two proteins. He ordered katsu and hamburger patties (you get 2). My daughter and I ordered the short ribs. Loved every bite of it. Definitely recommend a visit.

    10 malasadas included in the Family meal

    I'm not here to knock on the food. It's actually quite good. The short ribs and the Mac salad are so good. The problem comes if you order online at the website. The Family meal clearly states 3 meats, macaroni salad and 10 malasadas. When I got there, they said that I don't get the malasadas. I showed her the menu, but she said with confidence that the malasadas are not included. She said she'll ask the Owner later. There's a section online that asks "How can we make this right?" I told them and gave it several days, but no response. Bottom line right now. Don't order the Family meal online. Call the restaurant directly. You'll get the malasadas and save an additional $7.00

    #5 BBQ Chicken & Short Ribs - tasty
    Michael A.

    I was in the mood for some old school Hawaiian BBQ. After working out I needed some recovery. The place was crowded inside & people on tables outside. A scan of the menu offered many choices & drinks. I ordered a combo plate with Short ribs & chicken. You get 2 scoops of rice & macaroni salad. First off, portion sides were huge. Perfect for those looking for a protein boost. The meat was tender, moist & very flavorful. What I like the most is that the meat is not dripping with sauce because they don't pour anything on it. You need to put the sauce on your own. They have a dispenser with warmed sauces, bbq, teriyaki & katsu. Don't forget to grab some if you're eating to go. Sticky rice was perfect & macaroni salad classically made. Add a bit of shoyu & you are set. Only one gal working the counter, she seemed somewhat distracted but she took my order correctly. One cook on the grill. The food was delicious & satisfying. I can see where some might be put off by the service. I will definitely be back to try more of the menu especially the Lau lau.

    Good food, lady in front is always there and nice. Wish they had napkins more. Chinese family run business? Inside is clean. And bright and good

    Congratulations to the "new management" at Wang Cho for achieving what I thought was impossible:…read moreturning a booming, line-out-the-door weekend hotspot into a sad, half-empty ghost town and now I know why. This was our family's absolute go-to spot despite other KBBQ in the area. 5/30/26 - I walked in with my wife, our teenager, and two little ones (both 6 and under). Just like we've done every visit, I brought Raising Cane's for the little ones because--shocker--toddlers aren't exactly polishing off massive plates of bulgogi and brisket! The hostess informs me that the kids will now be charged for KBBQ even if they're not KBBQ. I politely explain that my kids literally only eat chicken fingers and air, but she brings over a manager (wearing a very official grey shirt) to double down. Apparently, "new management's" brilliant business model involves squeezing a few extra bucks out of kindergartners who aren't even touching their chopsticks. So, congratulations on permanently losing a 9-year loyal family of customers just to desperately claw at a phantom profit from a 6-year-old. Luckily, there are plenty of shiny new KBBQ spots in Chino Hills and Eastvale that actually understand basic hospitality. Thank you, Wang Cho "new management," for giving us the push we needed to finally try them!

I have been to this location before but this is not the location that is nearest my house. Today I had the BLT Wedge salad and it was so good. I really enjoyed it. I have a few favorites like the Burnt Ends, The Cracked Out Deviled Eggs [with cracklings as a garnish, oh yeah] and I have been wanting to try the 2 pcs. Bone-In Fried Chicken. For my drinks, it's on their Standards HH drink menu: Jameson and Gingeraie; hold the Gingerale:) I like their Old Fashion too but Jameson is my drink. I used to like their Red Ale. I heard the new one is good too but I like my Jameson, so it's safe. Oh, did i NOT mention the biscuits with apple butter. So good. When my wife and I have had dinner here, we typically have ordered the Pick 2 Combo. She always gets Tri Tip [small $$ adder] and i switch between the sausage and the St Louis Ribs. Always is enough but you can add a third items for $10. It always goes home :( The service was great at the bar, as usual. This location always has open spots at the bar. Not the case in my local Lucilles.

Lucille's BbQ, you did not fail me. The place is clean, moderate noise but tonight deserves a celebration since USA Soccer team won and family celebrations everywhere. Definitely a come back place and a great contribution to the community. Price was right especially the economy happening in our country.

But the bbq chicken and bbq beef were right on the money. I did have a problem paying $24 for one combo and one drink, as even with these three items, I was still expecting the meal to not be more than $20 total. That will be the main reason I probably won't return. The service was good. It was quick and friendly. And the ambiance was alright too as everything was clean, efficient, and not distracting. I just agree with the statement earlier that there are better rice bowl, hawaiian, and/or teriyaki food joints in the area at either a much better quality or better pricing. This seems to find that line where what you get, though good, is a bit over-priced for what you get and there is no recourse to get something smaller because then you will be over-paying and still hungry. I'd almost give this place a 4 though because I did enjoy the meal quality-wise.
