    Whole chicken
    Pauline T.

    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!

    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

    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.

    The juiciest chicken!!! Busy establishment but great service and amazing flavour . Big restaurant with a gift shop attached to it Will definitely come back here

    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 saw this place as we were heading to the north shore and decided to stop. It's located off the highway and the smells from the bbq was mouth watering. We waited in linevfor about 15 minutes and as we got closer the line got longer. We ordered the chicken as well as the beef plates and a sde of garlic shrimp ..we waited about 5 minutes for our order. meanwhie we located a table inside and waited for our number to be called. Thee are quite a number of tables inside and as quickly as they fill they also empty. Our order was called and we picked it up and began to try the dishes. I always tell my husband dont order what its not known for but we had to try everything..lol. So we tried the beef it was tender and flavorful, went well with the rice. The chicken!!!! The chicken is so tender, moist, yummy! Barbecued to perfection!!! It was so worth the stop , yet we had one more thing to try. I was disappointed at the shrimp we got in the North Shore which says it's the best - Nope!!! This garlic shrimp was by far superior, crunchy, moist, garlicky but in the good sense- not to garlicky just right! Yummy Huli Huli chicken was so good that we had to make another visit from Waikiki! This is a Must!!! Take time out of your day to head over, it is so Worth the Drive!

    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

    Decided to give this place a try this past weekend because it started popping up on my IG feed. We're locals and we always pass them, so we thought we'd try it! I was surprised at how full their parking lot was- we arrived around 1:45pm on a Saturday. I think we stayed for about an hour. But the time it was nearing 3pm, the parking lot was clearing up. Just something to note down. We drove towards the back and parked near their back entrance. I didn't realize they had more than just huli huli chicken! But, we came for the chicken specifically, so my bf and I shared a whole chicken and ordered an extra sauce on the side just in case it was needed. Our food arrived about 5min after ordering. Not a long wait! I have to say that this was a really good chicken! BUT I don't think it's the most authentic huli huli chicken. The outside (like the skin) does in fact taste super good like huli huli chicken, with a nice light char. But the huli huli chicken seasoning wasn't able to be penetrated through the meat itself. I have to say that the chicken is VERY VERY JUICY! Just because it didn't feel like an authentic huli huli chicken doesn't mean this is in no way a bad chicken- ITS SUPER GOOD! Just knocking it down a star because it didn't taste like a super authentic take on it. Decent amount of chairs and tables inside. No one sat outside during our visit but it was actually super hot today, so I guess everyone wanted to take advantage of the AC inside lol I definitely recommend still coming here; esp if you want a good tasting chicken

    Came back and had the garlic shrimp plate - it was ok. I would like to try the fish next time. The place gets a little Smokey because the chicken is being cooked right outside the front door - so just something to be aware of.

    Chances upon this place on our way to Kualoa Ranch. At the end of the day we came back to try the place. Unfortunately, they only had chicken and no beef or other items available from the menu. We brought back chicken, macaroni, and rice to our hotel and it was super delicious. Glad we were able to try it on our way back from our day's activity . Service was fast and everyone was nice. We also ordered a mango smoothie which was truly refreshing and good.

    Cool sign near the entrance.

    Last time I was in Oahu and was driving up the East side, I saw the smoke billowing from the roadside at Yummy Huli Huli Chicken. We didn't stop by because we had just eaten, but I KNEW I had to go the next time I visited, so that's what I did! Upon parking you just smell the smoky goodness. The two titos working the pit in the front gave me full confidence that this was going to be bomb! The Huli Huli Chicken was juicy, tender, and had a great smoky taste! Def lived up to the hype. Someone on YouTube said their mac salad is one of the best on the island, and I must say, it was super good as well! I took a plate of BBQ Teriyaki Beef to go, and it was delicious as well! I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Oahu!

    Really wanted to like spot but the chicken was a bit dry here. The flavors were great and had a nice Smokey flavor and decent seasoning but the chicken was overcooked. The sauce was on the sweeter side and wasn't something I personally enjoyed. Service was quick and food came out shortly after. If you are looking for something quick and easy then I would say this would be a decent spot to try. The seating arrangements kind of remind me of a diner/ cafeteria.

    Could not love the food here more. The chicken was so delicious and juicy. It was nicely seasoned without being incredibly salty like at another restaurant I've tried. The restaurant is connected with a souvenir shop with cool knick knack and shirts. It was cool to be able to catch them prepping and cooking the chicken. Wishing I had some of that chicken now.

    If we're ever on that side of the island, this is our go-to spot to get food…read more Furikake chicken is a must try! It always hits the spot. Not too salty, not overly seasoned with furikake, and the pieces of chicken are pretty generous. I do recommend calling in your order ahead of time. Sometimes they don't answer (because they're busy), but it's worth the wait most times.

    Heard about this place from this guy on IG @onlyfoods808 lol he made the furikake chicken look so…read morebomb. So I had this on my to try list. KJ's located on Kaneohe side in Windward City shopping center, next to Genki Sushi and shaka shaka tea. Man, I didn't take no pictures, but inside looks kinda washed up. They could use some upgrades for their dine in. Reading other reviews, there was a lot of mixed reactions, so I was scared, but I gave em a chance trusting @onlyfoods808 review. On Yelp had some good reviews and bad reviews about the furikake chicken. At the counter, the girl was nice and patient. Wife wanted to order the stuffed cabbage but was out. So ended up ordering her furikake chicken and crisp Thai. I got the furikake chicken and garlic chicken combo. Got to cop one of their banana breads, and a large soda. Was thirsty. Good price. All in all came out to $40. They have this little snack area off to the side of the cashier where the banana bread was, but was pretty much empty. Drove home to nalo to eat. Couldn't wait. I must say, their garlic chicken was good. I liked the garlic chicken better than the furikake chicken. To me, the chicken was not dry. Was tender and the garlic chicken had a nice sweet flavor. All was good. Wife enjoyed her food too. The crisp Thai was almost like the garlic chicken mixed with sweet chili sauce to add a little spice to it. That was good too. Man for some reason the Pepsi was good too lol could've been that I was just thirsty but I'm so glad didn't taste dirty. U get some places where the soda get one funky taste, like dirty, like they neva clean the stuffs for a while or somethin lol I learned that from the wife lol ... sometimes, soda can taste dirty lol glad theirs wasn't. Anyway, would we come back? Yes, 10/10 recommend. Go check em out.

    Ok, my house of 7 (multigen) eats here 2-3 times a month. Honestly, things are often missing or…read morewhatever, but we just pull off and go in and they fix it. I gotta say, our mobile orders are huge at any restaurant because we got a full house, and a few people like to complicate their orders so I never hold it against any restaurant when sh*t is little off. Anyway, we chose Jack's tonight, big order as usual, one was just my grilled chicken sammy, no bun, add bacon and Swiss style cheese. Holy shmokes. They made a beautiful lettuce wrap out of it, which I assumed they were just gonna put chicken and bacon in a wrapper...anyway I'm uploading a pic, friggen amazed. Delicious. Chicken wasn't rubbery, no weird hard parts. The rest of the order was on point except missing curly fries, but I just park and went in and they gave it to me no probs even though they were busy. Everything was fresh and good, except my mom needed to add shoyu to the fried rice, but for real why you even getting fried rice at Jacks is nuts. That is a hard no for me. Ok, but, overall this Jack's isn't terrible and typically the employees are so just...positively normal. Like people behaving normally..but also.. real-happy. I can totally tell the employees are getting along and get no negative vibes, which I really appreciate. Anyway, I think the Kaneohe Jack's might be upping their game, might be worth it to try. Remember, all the franchises out here are mostly individually owned or..ugh just so many variables but, things vary per location. Good luck. Oh, enjoy the pic of the lettuce wrap I attacked. SO ONO*** BTW for people who never eat fast food: nothing ever looks like the pictures for ANY fast food place, unless you in Japan, so just friggen eat it.
