Kona Hawaiian BBQ —Arvada — Restaurant in Arvada

I hate to be a Debbie downer but I Decided to try this place as we have been watching and waiting for it to open. Went in tonight and I ordered the Kalua pork and was extremely disappointed. The pork was super Duper dry. The cabbage underneath it was not anything to be excited for and zero seasoning. It’s like it was a filler to make your meal look fuller. 3-4 large pieces of cabbage. The Kalua pork that I have had in the past is much juicer with the pork having nice sized chunks and the cabbage is stewed in that pork giving it awesome flavor and still a little crunch on the cabbage. I understand that they just opened but I would hope they would’ve served something a little bit better. Hopefully it changes. I won’t be back for the kalua pork but maybe something else? Hopefully they get larger water cups also because what they’re serving is basically two sips and you are back and forth for refills. Besides what I ordered. The service was great. The atmosphere was great. Customer service was great as well. Just a bad experience with...

I am a DoorDash delivery driver and while I appreciate that you guys almost always have the food ready quickly. I don’t appreciate being treated like a criminal when you force me to show you my Personal phone That I confirmed the order. First of all, in the case that a DoorDash driver actually does steal the order, typically it’s either just canceled by DoorDash or DoorDash will pay the business and take the loss on their end to remake it so your restaurant doesn’t even lose any money so it’s a pointless practice. I had an employee, gripping the bag and would not let go until I showed them my phone. We are on the same team. This is super unprofessional and unappreciated. It only serves one purpose and that is to create animosity between DoorDash drivers and staff. I will be declining all future offers from your restaurant going forward, unless I see a reply from the business owner to this review, stating that that policy will no longer be...

I’ve ordered delivery twice and really enjoyed the food. This location has only been open for about a month, I believe.

First order was a combo plate with the bbq beef and fire chicken. It came on a huge bed of rice with a nice helping of salad. The beef was a little chewy for my taste but the chicken was awesome. Tender, spicy and flavorful without being overly hot. I also got the dumplings. The dumpling filling had flavor but the sauce didn’t compliment the dumpling, IMO.

Second order I got a single item plate with just the fire chicken and a side of mac salad. The mac salad is delicious. Super creamy with a hint of spice. It’s a great compliment to the fire chicken.

I definitely wish there was a way to ask for extra salad dressing…they dress lightly (which is great for delivery) but the dressing is delicious and I want more once the order is delivered.

For the amount of food, I think it’s a...
