Legitimately some of the best Kahlua Pig I’ve ever had in my life. Great service very friendly. Very clean restaurant. This may be one of the best hidden gems in Southern California. The food is authentic yet healthy, very hard compromise but well executed. I highly recommend

Had the pancake/Kona coffee special at 10 am on a Thursday, ends 10:30 am on weekdays. Only one other customer. Added a side of Portuguese sausage. Pancakes were nice and fluffy with a hint of sweetness. Came with butter and syrup. Coffee was smooth, as Kona coffee is normally. Portuguese sausage had a hint of sweetness with a touch of spice. Good bargain and yummy! Service was prompt and friendly. Simple, delicious and short wait to get food.
Update: Price has gone up. 2 pancakes and a coffee is $4.99, and Monday chicken bowl special lunch is now $8.99, but the food is still yummy.
Loved the food! My mom had the Na Ka Oi combo with fried rice, I had the pork bowl, and my sister had the beef bowl. Have also had a salmon combo to go. All were flavorful and generous portions. Staff was friendly and helpful. If you come before 10:30am on weekdays, 6:30-8:30am weekends, they currently have a $2.99 pancake special which includes coffee, dine-in only. They also have a Monday chicken bowl lunch $6.99 special. Casual, order at counter and food is brought to you. Plenty of outdoor seating.

Very enjoyable experience dining at the Hawaiian Grill. The combo loco moco was fantastic, how has no one thought of providing all three meats at once before? The flavors together was superb. Highly recommended!

Came during lunch on Saturday after a failed beach trip. Usually when I crave Hawaiian style, I go for garlic shrimp, Kalua pig, or beef. The coconut shrimp appealed to me the most, but I wanted a mixed platter, so I chose No Ka Oi with fries and green salad. Green salad and shrimp were excellent: salad was crisp with ample dressing, and shrimp had a great coconut aroma and flavor without having too much breading. Fries were also very good: not greasy, crispy outside fluffy inside steak cut.
Salmon was good, but could have been more moist; I added some sauce to mine. The BBQ chicken was only okay: the texture was halfway between jerky and grilled. I would have preferred it more moist, because trying to reheat it in the microwave only dries it out further.
I ate outside, which was fine for shaded seating, but high tables. Inside also has seating, but is unremarkable. I recommend the shrimp and salad, but not the chicken. I’ll probably try beef next time!

Visited this place for the first time. I enjoyed the No Ka Oi combo special which consists of Coconut Shrimp, BBQ Chicken strips, and a Salmon fillet. You can select from 2 side dishes. The meal tasted great. The staff were friendly and efficient.

Tonight was my first time visiting Da Luau Hawaiian Grill for dinner. It wasn’t that busy at all. I was able to browse through the menu and order with ease. I decided to order the BBQ Bowl with Chicken as my protein selection (recommended by employee who took my order), a side of the Potato Mac Salad, and a fountain drink. The food came out very fast. Both dishes looked tasty. I utilized their teriyaki and sriracha sauces over by the utensils and soda fountain machine. Overall, it was very good and I would definitely come back to try some other options on the menu.

First off…the ONLY reason I gave them a 3 in food is cause my loco moco is missing the so important macaroni salad.
Other than that, the burger patty was delicious. The eggs were perfectly cooked over easy so the yolk went all over when I cut into it.
The rice was on point. It was all good.
The ambiance was good with Hawaiian music playing in the background.
But I do miss my Mac salad !!!! That being said, I will be back !

We enjoyed our first experience at this restaurant. The garlic fried rice, tocino, and bbq chicken were all good with favorable portions. We will come back again to try more stuff.

Part 1-I put three stars for this review because not everything is tasteless. Being we’re from Hawaii We are very familiar with how adobo fried rice is supposed to taste and look but this looks like they just stuffed the rice added some pork to the egg it has absolutely no seasoning or flavor. Adobo is a very vinegary flavorful spice and Looks as it should taste dark brown to brown. This absolutely had no flavor doesn’t taste like fried rice and doesn’t taste like adobo. Very disappointed. This is the second time we ordered this the first time we thought maybe we had a bad batch but this time we definitely figured out that this is nothing like adobo.
Part 2 few months later (benefit of the doubt) …had the loco moco again and the gravy taste like water and looks like water. I’m so disappointed, I really want to like this place because it’s the closest thing to comfort food we have for Hawaii.
