"Disclaimer: I did order the meal that I am reviewing from DoorDash so an actual in-person experience may differ.Look, I hate to rail on local restaurants online, and I generally leave favorable reviews at most of the places that I eat at. However, the food from Hawaii BBQ Restaurant was really not all that good. I ordered the Spicy Chicken/Chicken Katsu Combo, which came with fried rice and an egg. The price to portion sizing was actually great, as you do get a heaping serving. However, that unfortunately was the only silver lining for a rather bad experience.To start off, the spicy chicken had an unpleasant odor and aftertaste with distinct taste of that off-brand soy sauce. The Katsu was alright, but the rice and egg were pretty bad. I hope I just got a botched order because the photos on other reviews look great, but you can clearly see that the rice isn't cooked uniformly, and salt was the only distinct flavor that came off of it. The egg was runny and fried well, but the lukewarm temperature threw me off. I get it, food won't always be delivered piping hot, and this is probably my fault having it delivered, but it really wasn't that palatable otherwise.Overall, I would give this place a skip if you plan on ordering, unless you live close by. However, if you're blitzed on a Friday night and are craving some comfort food, this place might just hit the spot."
