First Time Having Hawaiian BBQ Is Delicious and Overall Great Portions and Affordable.I tried their #1 BBQ Mix Best Decision I’ve made For Dinner instead of regular Drive Thru Food.Your order is made as order minimum wait time 20 minutes I suggest you call ahead of time for a family Order.Definitely Be Visiting Once A Month

I actually went here with my family on a fluke. Towards closing time. Yeah, as a matter of fact. We were in the car leaving and we had to stop infront because my youngest daughter says POOOOOPY Dada lolll Im not going to finish lolSorry ... Definitely not a topic for recommendations. ??‍anyway the young lady that took our order, and another employee started putting away the patio furniture while we were driving off. ??? All that to say that even though it was literally minutes from closing. The staff was on point. They actually gave af. You couldn't tell that they wanted to go home, or if they were closing or opening. Food was what I expected and more from the smell I got once I got out of the car. Delicious. We got Katsu, teriyaki chicken, short rib, and I had kalua pork. They even had vinegar. Lolllll She was surprised when I asked. Like mannnnnnn why this dude gonna ask for sum shhhhiiii, oh sir. Yes we have vinegar lmfaaaaoooo. Highly recommend. If i could remember the staff i would name them all. Good location too. In and out. GO THERE PERIOD!!! As a matter of fact I just checked my pics and it was July 9 this year. Closing..... Good job yall...

We went here with a fairly large crowd, 5 adults, a teen, a toddler and a baby. Ordering was easy and the menu was in good sight. The plates run about 10 to 14 dollars and the portions are what you would expect from a Hawaiian restaurant. There weren't any tables large enough to accommodate our group so we pushed two tables together to make one long table. The tables themselves were not clean and we had to wipe them down before use.We sat down and had some laughs before our food was ready. They called our number and we grabbed our food and took it back to the table. It while we were passing out our food that we realized the order had been messed up. They gave us two number 9s instead of a number 9 and a number 13. Two people from my party went to the counter to inform them of this mistake and the lady was very rude. She would not fix the order and stated that she read the order back to us. She might have read the order back to the 1 person paying for the order but he wasn't aware of what was ordered and the lady at the counter most obviously misheard and typed in the wrong number. We let it go and had a good laugh about it back at the table. The food was good, not great, but good. If you've ever had Hawaiian Time in Salem Oregon you would not be super impressed over this Hawaiian place, but like I said it was good. Worth the price, worth the time. The only thing keeping this from getting 4 stars from me was the rude lady at the counter.My advice is if you're going here be sure that ALL members of your party are standing at the register and confirm each and every item when they read back the order, even if it takes 10 more minutes and holds up a line because if they got it wrong they will not fix it.
