    Whole chicken
    Vicki L.

    The chicken is so yummy! Juicy, flavorful, and satisfying. We got the whole chicken for 21.95 to split with the family. Definitely get the extra sauce for $1, you won't regret it!

    Huli huli chicken yummy, indeed! Fresh tender chicken slow roasted over fire. Beef teriyaki was tasty, thinly sliced and not too salty. Pair it with steamed rice and mac salad, you have the perfect bite. Fresh fish was delightful. Added zest with a few squeezes of lemon and tartar sauce. Fish was hot and flaky but would have been even better if the batter was crispy. Restaurant super clean and service was friendly. Ample parking out back. Mahalo!

    I'm ashamed to admit that this was my very first time trying huli huli chicken. So what can I say about my first experience? Well... it was a little underwhelming. Maybe it's because I don't have a baseline comparison, but I feel like huli huli chicken gets hyped up so much that I expected a massive flavor explosion. Maybe this is exactly how it's supposed to taste, but to me, it was just very simple. It tasted more like a standard roasted or baked chicken. I didn't really get that deep, smoky charcoal flavor that I thought a real-deal huli huli chicken was supposed to have. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't bad! It just wasn't "stop the car, I need to come back tomorrow" good. Maybe it was just an off day for them, so I'm happy to give it another try sometime down the road to see if it hits differently. But for my very first taste test, I wasn't really that impressed. Shucks!

    Whole chicken (chicken plate + extra side chicken) and kalua pork with cabbage plate

    Been wanting to try this place for a while and finally stopped by. We got the whole huli huli chicken and the kalua pork with cabbage. The chicken was the highlight for sure. Juicy and flavorful. If you order the whole chicken, do yourself a favor and get it chopped up, it's way easier to eat that way. The kalua pork with cabbage was okay. Nothing wrong with it, but if I came back I'd just spend my money on chicken instead. Simple menu, good food, and worth a stop if you're craving huli huli chicken.

    Here's a polished Yelp review you can post: If you're craving authentic local Hawaiian food, do yourself a favor and stop for the Huli Huli chicken here. Trust me--you won't miss it! The aroma alone is enough to make you pull your car over. They cook everything right in front of their spotless establishment, and the smell of the chicken roasting over the grill is absolutely irresistible. The Huli Huli chicken is outstanding--perfectly seasoned, incredibly juicy, and packed with flavor in every bite. The macaroni salad is fresh and nicely chilled, making it the perfect complement to the hot chicken. The white rice is cooked just right, and everything comes together beautifully with their delicious pineapple teriyaki sauce. The portions are generous, the prices are very reasonable, and the quality is top-notch. If you're visiting the area, it's just a few turns away from Kualoa Ranch, making it a perfect stop after a tour. Great food, friendly service, excellent value, and a true taste of Hawaii. Give this place a try--you won't be disappointed!

    Tasty roadside restaurant with smokey chicken you can smell cooking as you drive past. Good lunch stop on the way up to North Shore and there's indoor seating if you need to beat the heat and bugs! Pretty popular so there is a line but the food was worth the wait, and it comes out quickly once ordered. Huli Huli Chicken - juicy, smokey, great sauce (ask for extra), filling piece Shrimp - juicy, plentiful, sauced up!!, spicier than it looks in the best and balanced way, garlicky

    This a great family restaurant located in Kaneohe. You cant miss it when driving on the Kamekameha Highway. Just follow the smoke and flavorful smell of chicken as they say. I appreciate watching the staff grill the chicken and how dedicated they are to creating a nice sit down meal for us to enjoy. Indoors, there is plenty of seating to escape the hot summer days. We ordered their famous chicken, a teriyaki beef, and their fish plate. Each was filling and delicious. Their prices here are also very fair. I would come back again to this iconic family restaurant for this memorable local experience

    The place was packed, but the service was very timely. The atmosphere was super casual. The chicken... definitely some of the absolute best chicken I have ever had.

    Stopped by for a quick bite after Kualoa Ranch, just a few minutes south from Kualoa Ranch ticketing. We saw the whole chicken on bbq grill outside the restaurant on our way to Kualoa Ranch. 2 staff members were grilling the chicken in the heat- dedicated! They were nice too. The inside of the restaurant is actually clean and well-kept, which was unexpected based on their location and exterior. Nice and cool inside with many tables to dine at. They have restrooms towards the back of the restaurant. You stand in line to place your order, and then you can to-go or dine in. We ordered the whole huli huli chicken (doesn't come with sides unlike the half chicken plate), teriyaki rib eye beef plate, and the garlic shrimp. They give you the option to cut up the whole huli huli chicken into 4ths, 6ths, or 8ths(?), which is convenient. The chicken was well-cooked, very tender, and delicious! The teriyaki rib eye beef was OK- very thin. I wouldn't order this specific plate again. The garlic shrimp plate was delicious! I think the garlic shrimp here is much better than Giovanni's or any other place- very succulent and well-cooked. I also liked that they give you the option to keep the shell on or off, which is nice. The mac salad was good too- has little cucumber slices in it. A bit on the sweet side, but not overly mayo heavy like other places and the cucumbers give it more of a refreshing taste. Service was good too overall. The staff member who took our order was super nice and welcoming. The only negative thing I would say is that it took 20+ minutes to get our order. They give you a number on your receipt, and call the number via mic when ready for pickup at the pickup window. People who ordered after us were getting their orders before us, so thought maybe ordering the whole chicken was the issue... but turns out someone ahead of us was given one of our items. He returned the boxed entreé to the pickup window, and the staff member put it to the side. Then when I went up to ask her about our order, she said, "oh that's the order" and grabbed the same boxed entreé that the other customer brought up to the window and placed into our bag. Didn't say anything as the other customer said he didn't touch the food... just opened and looked at it. Normally I would've said something, but I witnessed the whole situation, so it was OK. I would recommend the staff member to not do that going forward... since once served to another employee, it should be set aside and not served to another. But overall, it was a 5.

    Right off the road with plenty of parking. These guys make the best Huli Huli chicken. Delicious macaroni salad too. The line is worth the wait.

We were seated 30 minutes after we checked in around 4pm. The Last time we dined here was 2023 and everything looked the same. Luckily we were seated by the railing with some epic views. Kristy was our server last night and she did socks and amazing job. She had this beautiful warm smile. She was friendly, knowledgeable and very sweet. Everything was amazing from start to finish. Hopefully when we come back Kristy will still be here so I can request for her. Thank you HJ and Kristy ! We will definitely be back soon !

This location opens at 4pm and does not take any reservations but we had very little wait, 25 minutes, even arriving at 4:05pm with a line already formed. While waiting for our table we made our way down to the garden and walked around and enjoyed the turtles and fish in the little lake they have. This is a great photo opportunity. Once our table was ready we were seated and our server came over quickly to get our drink orders and any appetizers we wanted to put in. Their poke and island ceviche were delicious. They also provide complimentary bread with guava butter that was amazing. Since I was celebrating my birthday I decided to go for the prime rib that many have compared to a steak out of the prehistoric era. It was cooked perfectly and the potatoes and green beans were great sides. This will definitely be a place I return to with friends and family due to how great the service was and the beautiful view and delicious food. The best part of the night was the Liliko'i Crème Brulee. I cannot wait to go back for more.
