Ko Olina Hawaiian Bar-B-Que

Located in a nice area and obviously more expensive than other places serving plate lunches in a Styrofoam. Good garlic chicken and chicken teriyaki. The mini plates are good enough for lunch!

Do not eat here. Prices are higher then the hotel. Kitchen is dirty, portions are small and it is not run buy Hawaiians. The breaded pork you can buy in COSTCO.

We used to come and eat here every time we were in town. This last time was really greasy, expensive, plain to taste and refills cost as much as a new drink. No one in my family liked the food. Yuck!

racist cashier. wouldn’t smile to asians but grinning ear-​to-​ear to whites. nuff said.

The food matches taste with the most authentic home style Hawaiian meals I’ve eaten. It’s not classy food by any means. Unfortunately, they charge classy food prices, with dishes and drinks for 3 costing over $ 60. If you’re at one of the resorts, you might as well eat at Aulani and save yourself the hassle of playing Frogger on the busy main road.
If you want Hawaiian dishes where the price aligns with the quality, look elsewhere. If you want walkable local fare, this is your closest option.

Don’t bother, bad service and medium at best food. Go to L&L about 2 Mikes away if you can for great Hawaii bbq.

Just mediocre. Kinda pricey but definately cheaper then eating at the aulani resort which I was situated at. Regular hawaiin food choices and plates. I got the Loco moco. So good but definately stick to your ribs.

Absolutely HORRIBLE food and I think the service was even worse. The woman working at the register could not have been ruder to us. Do not even bother with this place even though it is very convenient from Aulani. $ 15 for the grossest fried rice you’ve ever tried? lol — I don’t think so. The Sushi restaraunt next door is 10x better and not much more expensive at all. Just say NO to this place — we just threw it all away.

Went back and found this place not only went down hill, it went off a cliff without a parachute. It used to be a place we’d go to multiple times during our stay. Portion sizes seem much smaller, with a tiny «scoop» of rice. Super greasy. And even with the 10% Ohana card, it’s way over-​priced.
Entire family disliked and we won’t be returning. Yes, it’s super close to the resorts, especially those staying at the Aulani. This row of restaurants unfortunately has turned into a mall or airport food court. Yuck!

This place is not amazing but not terrible. The staff were really nice and the portions quite big. We ended up having leftovers. If you’re visiting and have the ability to store leftovers and finish your meal later… great. If not, then you’re paying too much.

Looking for authentic Hawaiian BBQ … sorry, but stay away from this restaurant. The macaroni salad was runny and very tangy. The chicken was fatty … I can go on, but will keep this review short.

The food was tasty, but thr price was in the high side. You can split each meal for two people, the portions are large. I was happier knowing that there was larger portions. We stopped here to take a break from Aulani food.

I have no idea why this place only has 3 stars! Me and my cousins had great food here. Best Hawaiian BBQ we’ve had. Now they didn’t pull a pig out of the ground but that would have been delicious. Same price as we would have gotten here on the mainland but a better taste for sure! Looking forward to a quick meal here again next year when I return.

I ordered a Chinese chicken salad. You might as well just call this a regular salad. There was only romain lettuce, grilled chicken and wontons. Nothing else AND THE DRESSING WASN’T EVEN ANY TYPE OF ORIENTAL DRESSING. Dressing had no flavor.
I BASICALLY PAID $ 15 for lettuce, a little chicken and wontons. RIP OFF

Horrible food, very greasy, sits like a lead ballon in the stomach. Should have known when there were no locals in the place. Way to pricey for amount and quality of food. Worth maybe $ 10 and bill was $ 50. If you have kids and family and anyone you care about don’t eat here.

Easy because it’s close to Aulani but the food is average and the prices are quite high.

Location:
They are conveniently located in the Ko Olina resort. Parking is limited and the parking spaces are small. There is a 30 minute parking limit.
Food:
I ordered the mini chicken katsu. The chicken katsu was okay. Nothing special. It came with one scoop rice and one scoop macaroni salad. The Mac salad was not cold. The katsu sauce is not a dark red sauce and it’s on the chunky side. The amount of chicken in a mini plate is reasonable.
Price:
A mini plate can range from $ 8-​$ 10 and a regular plate is $ 10-​$ 12. It’s definitely pricey compared to other local plate lunch restaurants.
Overall, it’s nice that there is a local food restaurant in the resort but it sucks that the prices are higher because it is in the resort.

This place is so over priced it’s unbelievable that they still exist, the food is better and much cheaper at the ABC island deli across the street … Highway robbery. Sample: 2 cheeseburger deluxe and a fries $ 23 and they don’t make combo so you’re forced to buy everything separately
Only getting a star because I had to chose it in order to post this

Decent place for a quick lunch or dinner. There are pros and cons to this place…
Pros: good walking distance from our condo… Takes around 15 minutes to walk…
Clean and friendly staff with two televisions… Plenty of seating for families and couples.
The food is decent… They have a large variety on the menu…
Been here two times and I’m pretty happy… BUT nothing blew my mind…
I ordered the butter garlic shrimp with fries and macaroni salad… Shrimp was small but the sauce was good… Didn’t fill me up… But thank god for the fries…
We also ordered the grilled mahi mahi… And that was really good… Nice crispy outside and moist and tender inside… Probably the best dish… Both times…
Second day we ordered the chicken Katsu with fries and rice and the grilled mahi mahi again!
Chicken Katsu was huge portion wen I can usually kill my food but this portion was enormous! It was good… But nothing I haven’t had before…
Grilled mahi mahi is always good…
Cons: they charge for refills on soda… And it is $ 1 something for a freakin refill… Kidding me?
Trash is outside… When your done u have to go outside and dump your trash… Which I guess isn’t so bad since it keeps away the smell…
Parking is tight and small spaces… And if it’s busy… parking is a b****!
Overall it’s decent… But if you have no car and have to walk somewhere for grub, it’s worth a shot!

Food is okay. Saves them from the service they give. And it’s expensive. Service is crap. The girl doesn’t speak. She just stared at us. I asked a question, she stares. And when she stared and tilted her head it was like she was asking «is that all». With these huge frog like eyes. I hate when people give crap customer service like that. If you hate your job, quit. She’s now sitting at the table with one of her friends. –_​_​_​_​-​” wish they had name tags because I would totally write her name down.
I’m not hard to impress when it comes to places, hence why I usually give good reviews. It has to be really bad for me to give 2 stars.

Bön la bouffe est bonne, et le poisson semblait etre frais. Le service n’est pas extraordinaire puis il semblerait que la proprio, bien qu’elle soit bien gentille, est un peu dur d’oreille.
