When the plate came out, I’ll give credit where it’s due — the presentation looked amazing. Unfortunately, the taste didn’t match the looks at all. The macaroni salad had such an overwhelming mayo flavor that it completely ruined it for me — 1 out of 10. The spicy chicken was smothered in an overpowering sauce where I could barely tell what it was supposed to taste like — another 1 out of 10. The short ribs and the other beef were just bland and forgettable, both easily a 1 out of 10 as well.
I honestly don’t understand the hype around this place. I really wanted to enjoy it, but the food didn’t live up to expectations. Great presentation can’t make up for disappointing flavor. Sadly, this was a letdown, and I wouldn’t come back again.
We ordered a little bit of everything and not a single bite missed. To start, the drinks were perfect: I had the taro bubble tea (so smooth and creamy) and my friend had the strawberry fruit tea, which was refreshing and not overly sweet. For appetizers, we shared chicken and beef musubis, crab rangoons, and a spicy crab roll—each one fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care.
For our mains, I had the Hawaiian Chicken Platter with rice and macaroni salad, and it was comforting, hearty, and packed with flavor. My friend ordered the mixed platter with beef, spicy chicken, and short ribs, and every protein was tender, well-seasoned, and absolutely delicious.
As if that wasn’t enough, they surprised us with two Ramune sodas—lychee and strawberry—which were such a fun and tasty touch.
They also let us know they offer party trays for groups, which is such a great option and something I’d absolutely try for a get-together. Amazing food, fast service, and thoughtful hospitality—Hana Hawaiian BBQ is a must-try, and we’ll definitely be back!
I ordered the beef, and it was tender but mediocre flavor. The mac salad stood out to me personally though — I like their take on it. Everything tasted freshly cooked. I also tried the passion fruit tea and the strawberry fruit tea — very refreshing. I felt like they could offer a few more pieces of broccoli only got about 2 or 3
Another thing that caught me off guard was that all food is served in takeout containers with plastic utensils, even when dining in. The utensils were a bit flimsy, which felt slightly out of place given how new and polished everything else seemed.
Overall, the food didn’t blow me away but it was simple and satisfying. I might return for their drinks but not so much the food.
Absolutely, the best fried crab rangoon I have ever had. The pastry was so flaky, so crispy and absolutely delicious! The filling was delicious too; hubby noted a spice or something, in the filling, that makes them taste different than most fried crab rangoons. I noticed it too, but I actually liked the taste.
The only thing I wasn’t a fan of was the sauce. I am used to a sweet and sour sauce or a dark red sweet sauce when I buy these and this sauce really didn’t have any flavor. I didn’t really like it and neither did my husband, but we both loved the rangoons!
Maybe they would consider changing the sauce, or offering more sauce options, but I would still buy these again and maybe just buy my own sauce if there aren’t any other sauce options.
Overall, delicious and I will be back for more!
