Hoku Hawaiian BBQ — Restaurant in Fairfield

Ordered Doordash yesterday. We ordered Chicken Katsu Curry (extra curry sauce +1.00$, all rice, no veggie +1.00$), Loco Moco, and musubi sampler.

My Chicken Katsu Curry came with a single container of curry on the side. This must be the "extra" I ordered. Cause they certainly didn't include the curry with the regular order of katsu curry. All I got was that little container. On top of that, the curry was watery! Like a soup, not a sauce. And the potatoes and carrots in it were taking up over half the volume in the container. So I actually got a HALF container of curry sauce, and chunks of potato and carrot. It wasn't a "sauce". It was soup.

To add insult to injury, you're charging a dollar extra to substitute things of the same price??? I don't like macaroni salad, so I wanted all rice. You charged me for that?! And the rice wasn't even sticky rice! It was DRY.

The loco moco hamburger was overcooked to death. Might as well have been eating a shoe slathered in gravy.

The musubi has BARELY ANY SAUCE IN IT, and since the rice is dry, it's just not good musubi.

Even if they didn't overcharge us, it was still bland and disappointing. If you don't want to make Hawaiian food, do something else.

DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT GET DOORDASH FROM HERE. You will be disappointed. Just go to...

This was the first time for us going here. A good friend of mine tried it a while back and said it was terrible. I heard from another person that it was "ono". That's delicious in Hawaiian. After reading some reviews, I decided to give it a try. Well, after ordering the kalua pork and lau lau plate, and my wife having the kalbi plate (Korean bbq short ribs), the verdict is.....WE WILL DEFINITELY GO BACK! The Mac salad was near perfect, the kalua pork was very tasty and the lau lau was very good. For those who don't know, Lau lau is salted pork wrapped in taro leaves. The fat literally melted in my mouth (if you know, you know). My wife tasted from my plate and said she will order that one next time. Hoku's could benefit from a fountain drink machine. They offered can drinks and they also have a selection of smoothies. The customer service was also very good. Lots of young people working there and they were very polite. I can't wait to come back for my next Hawaiian food fix. I give Hoku's 4 shaka's...

This Hawaiian BBQ location is very cute inside with a very surfer Hawaiian vibe. The young man who helped me out was very friendly and made the experience that much nicer. It's very clean and pleasant inside and the menu is diverse as well as very affordable! I got these six pieces of vegetable pot stickers, but the name is different on the menu. Just can't remember it right now. It was only $5 for six pieces. The outside was very crispy and yummy, but the inside was bland. I had hoped they would have been homemade, but I believe it they were frozen. Nonetheless, I would give this place a try because of the great customer service, excellent vibe, and all the other wonderful items...
