My experience at HawaU was good! It literally just opened yesterday but the employees were super kind & had great smiles to greet me, they also did give me detailed explanations on their menu & for everything i asked cheerfully.

Now THE FOOD: The popcorn chicken; okay so I'll probably crave these once a week or so .. they were SOOOO good & crispy & coated with Katsu breading so that definitely added a great crispy taste to them! & their sauces are AMAZING! Definitely in house made, the green sauce: i would like to bathe in plssss lol. It was so good! Great quality of chicken too. Also came with a thin bed of fries underneath it and the fries were seasoned perfectly and perfectly crispy too.

The Musubis were scrumptiousss, like wow! I ordered the katsu musubis & they did not disappoint. The seaweed was super fresh too. & the egg omelette in it was soft, light, & tasty.

Food was ready in under 7 mins. Made from scratch

The seating area could be better but in all honesty they just opened yesterday and they did not have too long to convert this place from a deli so I think that will spruce up very soon, but they DID have a really cute selfie wall.

The menu is also not a big one especially for Hawaiian place but they did say they will be adding more things to the menu soon.

A friend of mine's tried HawaU on their first day, she ordered the loco moco and said it was delicious & fresh,

I was on the phone with her as she was eating, only thing we were disappointed in is the loco moco comes with mac & cheese and NOTTT the usual Hawaiian Mac salad.

For someone who has tried L& L Hawaiian barbecue several times, I can say that this definitely has potential to be on that level. The food is already just as delicious they just have to update the menu more but so far so good I was not disappointed at all.

So for a new establishment and keeping in mind the time they had to get this place together and the freshness and deliciousness of the food this place is definitely worth a try to me.
