Laki Hawaiian BBQ — Restaurant in Covina

Good food, great portions but even better service. Ordered the BBQ combo with comes with chicken, beef and a kalbi rib. Portions were great for beef and the rib, but chicken was ridiculous. They give you two huge portions. I would have been fine with just one, but surprised to find another piece hiding underneath. Meat is tender and juicy. Not overdone or dry like some other places. It also comes with two scoops of rice and a scoop of Mac salad. The only comment about the food was the teriyaki sauce is different than I’m used to. Not bad, just different. Hard to put a finger on it, but it is thicker and almost has a Chinese flavor profile over Hawaiian, but again not a bad thing. I called ahead the order was ready when I arrived which is always nice, but when they saw me taking pictures of the menu for posting online, she offered me a free milk tea and said “she trusted I would post or check in later and wanted me to have a free drink”.

The yolk was cooked solid. It was about 15% over easy. I believe the egg is cooked with one of those weird plug in egg cookers. I ate all of it because I do not like wasting food. Not worth the $18. This is a staple dish of the restaurant's theme. See photos...

As a combat veteran, I highly recommend. Great food. Great portions. Above that, the owner will go above and beyond for you. On 6/9/2024 I lost my phone but didn’t realize until I got home. I called the location and he immediately looked at his cameras to see if he could locate. To my amaze a homeless person put my phone into their backpack and the owner was able to retrieve for me. When I arrived, the owner handed me my phone. I am grateful and...
