Food I ordered took a lil longer to come out than other places I eat at and was too salty.

Take-out-order got a Melt-In-Your-Mouth Steak, surprisingly tender and juicy with scrumptious flavour, Served with a nice portion of Mac salad and steamed rice, an ultimate comfort meal, delicious, simple & flavorful dinner flavour that the whole family will love.Kid-friendliness: Mini plates, great for kidsWheelchair accessibility: Accessible Clinical excellent type
Food was bad...got the Chicken Katsu and it barely had chicken it was mainly breading...also katsu sauce was water downed was pretty bad and over priced in my opinion

Amazing food as always! It's a must have, multiple times, when I'm back on island! The service is always great, and friendly. Nice and clean place. Would recommend any meal!

I had an appointment in Kalihi and had some time to kill. It was one of those hectic days and hadn't eaten lunch. It was 7pm.It's officially dinner time.I pulled into the parkin lot just past the Jack in the Box by Umi street. There used to be an Elena's there. There must be somewhere I can get a takeout....My hunch was right.There was a Chinese restaurant on the right and Subway on the left. Subway was closed, and I didn't want to get ala carte, so I went to BBQ Mix, which was right in the middle.It's only 7:15 but it's really quiet in there.I walk up to the counter where I was greeted by a cheerful young lady. I decided to try the hamburger steak.I seated myself on the chair after ordering and I was glad I wasn't earning in...The chairs they had were wrought iron and hardwood and let me tell you, if you had told me that it was a medieval torchering device, I would have believed!This was the most uncomfortable piece of furniture my butt ever laid on!I was glad my order came up relatively quickly, as I was up and out the door. "Thank you, have a nice day!" she says, so I replied with a " You too!"I like that kind of employee-customer interaction. While waiting for my appointment, I pick on the plate. There's 2 scoops of rice, mac salad and 3 hamburger patties with brown gravy.The patties look handmade, not store bought.More points there.They are well seasoned and tasty.Very moist and tender.Macaroni for the salad wasn't overcooked, nor was it al dente, but pleasantly done. Slivers of carrots not only add color but give a bit of texture to the mac salad.The one thing that I thought might have been a mismatch was the jasmine rice.Jasmine rice does so well with ethnic dishes, but for me, it interfered with the subtle flavor of the brown gravy.Otherwise, it's a flawless plate lunch, but that's just my opinion. Later on though, I started to get that reaction...I don't know if it was in the patties or the gravy, but there probably were traces of MSG.I normally would've minused a star, but the value of the meal and the bubbly personality of the girl at the counter certainly is worth the high mark.

Portions were big, but I feel like there is room for improvement on the basic staples. I usually will take everything I don't eat home. Not this time, unfortunately.
Hubby, daughter and I came here for lunch. It was our first time trying it out. We used to drive by here all the time but never tried it until today.As we walked in, we ordered and then sat at a table. The soda machine fountain wasn't working so the lady didn't charge for the combo hubby had with a drink. I decided to get the Arizona green iced tea which is always my favorite when restaurants only have canned drinks. For my entree, I got the chicken fried noodle. This was so much for a plate of fried noodles. Plenty of pieces of chicken and this was filling. I managed to finish the whole plate. I drank my Arizona green iced tea. So refreshing. The nice lady brings your food over to you. There's no table service so you basically toss your container in the trash. They recycle the cans since I saw the cans above the trash. My food was delicious and filling but a tad greasy. Not bad overall. I would come back to try other items on their menu.

My experience with BBQ mixed, no issues so far. I'm introducing to my son. Whom is 9 years old. So, I vouch 4 these establishment.

Am very disappointed, I told cashier I gotta feed 10 people and I ordered pan shrimp, katsu, rice, friend noodles. Rice and noodles was good amount, but katsu and shrimp I was like woah! I know it's hard times but damn y'all hustled me bad lol.

Lots of parking, great menu choices & nice serving sizes at reasonable prices. Right by the DLS lab, so I’m ordering from there the next time I have to fast.
