I ordered the buy one get one free through Uber eats. Very disappointed that I did not read the reviews before ordering. Like everyone stated, you get a ball of rice as well as a bed of rice, more rice than meat, and macaroni salad tastes like mayo. I had to throw the meals away because the meat was EXTREMELY salty! I could not eat it. Again, very disappointed and I wish I’d never ordered.

For $13 dollars each, this Small - Molokai Chicken is absolutely a rip off. How is this an acceptable amount for the price to be paid?! I wouldn't order from this place again. I used to love Hawaiian bros but this is just scamming customers with stingy amounts. You should be ashamed of what you've done here. UPDATE: after this review the corporate team as well as general manager (Cody) of this location reached out to me. They've apologized for the portioning size and have offered to make amends with a free meal. I really appreciate this and can say that the customer service is A1! Hopefully this serves as a reminder that portioning for the price is one of the reasons why this franchise is a staple.

I ordered through a delivery partner. The chicken and rice was cold. I feel like the chicken should have been fresher and more tender especially on a Friday night. It was pretty tough. I ordered in the past and it was just okay as well. I’m also confused on the size options. I got the 2 meat large mixed plate at $25, I feel like the value of this meal is around $15. Seems like the same quality as a mall food court unfortunately.

I ordered through DoorDash. I had read people’s reviews, which stated that there’s a lot of extra rice under the meat, so I ordered the low-carb option, thinking I’ll get meat with no rice under it. There was no written description of what the meal included, but the photograph for low-carb showed meat, rice, and macaroni salad. An add-on option was “extra rice,” which implies that rice is coming with the meal.What arrived was meat and some pathetic vegetables, which I threw away.

Was craving hawaiian food and my usual hawaiian spot was closed today so J ended up deciding to give Hawaiian bros a try and Im sad to say I was extremely disappointed with their take-out. The food arrived cold and the portion was tiny and the Huli Huli chicken had no flavor besides soy sauce. Safe to say I'll be returning to my other spot after this bad experience.

It was off-putting walking into a ghost kitchen, but the food slapped. There isn’t really much of a place to sit down and eat, but the place overall was really

I tried this place out for the first time and I have to say it is really good. I was confused about the menu at first but the manager Bradley helped me throughout the entire ordering process. Would definitely eat there again!

Am I crazy or did they used to have pork on the menu? Like I remember it being really good. Had a craving for it a few days ago. I didn't see it on the menu. Thought maybe they were just out that day. Checked again today, still no pork. So sad.

Found on UberEats. Quick delivery. Loved the Huli Huli chicken. The Luau Pig was okay but loved with the sauce. I got the Classic Mixed with Huli Huli and Luau Pig with Pineapple Skewer. My fiancee got the Huli Huli Chicken with a side of veggies. There was rice under the meat. Had I known that I would have replaced the ball of sticky rice. We did enjoy the meat, rice under it and the pineapple. The veggies were blanched but not soggy and well seasoned.

The only good thing was the meat. But total waste of mine, food was ice cold, rice was gross. Pasta salad nasty, they somehow managed to ruin steamed veggies. The pickup process is absolute trash as it says go to locker and my food wasn't even in a locker then you had to wait for some guy to come back to the counter to go hunting for it. The right hand didn't know what the left hand was doing here so waste your money here, but is better options around the city.

Doordash order on 2/13 for lunch. I so wanted to give a good review and support a local restaurant. I ordered the Classic - Mixed Plate with Honolulu chicken (dry with no taste or as they describe as chicken infused with fresh garlic, green onions and sesame - there are no garlic, green onions and sesame - see pic!) and Kilauea chicken (savory and spicy). The veggies were overcooked to mushiness and rice was too wet. When I looked at options to substitute for veggies, I noticed there is a bed of rice for the meat, so I omitted that. The meat portions were very little, unfortunately. The mac salad is overladen with mayo with no flavor. I wish I can recommend this place.

The food is horrible. I feel like I'm about to be sick after eating a few bites. "Hawaiian" belongs nowhere in their name or menu. I had the chicken and pork mixed plates. The meat quality was average at best, but the flavor was just disgusting. The macaroni salad was also disgusting. The rice was barely acceptable, and 50% of the lunch/dinner plate is plain white rice. I've had authentic Hawaiian food and this is absolutely not it! Whoever answered the phone was also impolite.
