Hawaiian Isle. — Restaurant in Plastow

So I’ve been to this place three or four time now on the last year, and each time is worse than the last. The service is terrible, the food is nothing but a pile of grease, and the it has no flavor except salt. We went there the other night with a group of six of us. Our waiter started off ok, but when I had to ask for more water four times and wait ten minutes for a refill I knew we were in trouble. We had to ask for more hot tea more than six times and that took over 20 minutes to get. I know Saturday nights are busy but we went there before 6. Having to constantly ask for more water and then just asking for a pitcher because I was tired of waiting really agitated me (and he refused to leave a pitcher of water at the table because “they only do that for parties of 20 people”). We also had to ask for more duck sauce five times, which again, took more than ten minutes to get. For someone who’s livelihood depends on service, our waiter seemed content to let out table of six sit there with no drink refills or anything. After the food showed up, he just ghosted us.

The food tasted like it was fried in old oil. The crab Rangoon had no crab in it! It was just cram cheese - no imitation can or onions in any of them! All of the food looked mushy or shimmered with grease. We ordered orange beef and there was no flavor on that either, just salt. We bit into the spring roll to have a pool of oil pour out onto the plates.

Before I went to dinner last weekend, my rings fit fine. I couldn’t even wait to get home two hours later without having to pry my rings off my hands were so swollen with salt. Two days later and my hands and face are still visibly puffy. A gallon and a half or more of water, and I’m starting to be able to get my rings on with some work. This is on top of the fact that both my husband and I had horrifically upset stomachs for almost 48 hours afterwards. I had to skip my Sunday gym class because my indigestion and upset stomach from the night before were plaguing me still!

Just avoid this place. I’m told it was good at one point in its history but it’s just garbage now. From now on, if I want Chinese food, I’ll go to Li’s, or order takeout from...

We came here for dinner. I was home visiting family, and obviously you need to eat Chinese food while in MA. Came here because heard okay things. Right off the bat the sever was very rude, aggressively rude. To the point we thought we should just leave because he was annoyed we were in his section. The place was dead, and we planned on ordering a ton of food, so I mean it’s 5 pm… business right. He also rudely carded my sister, carding is not the problem.. once you’re over 30 please card us… it was how he singled her out and was once again aggressive about it. Food came out quick, tasted good, and then a cute mouse came and snuggled our feet. Of course we were shocked but also I mean it’s the food business, but we ended up losing site of it, and the sever came over and asked if we needed water. We said no and casually joked about the mouse running around . He disregarded us and pretty much shooed us out. Hefty bill, still tipped 20%. It was an experience for sure. Won’t be going back…. But Giving one star for not getting...

Hawaiian Isle Restaurant is where our Christmas party is. I've been here in yr. 2023 and will be going back this yr. 2024 I can't wait , we just walk in and someone will tell us where to go which has been in the Big area and be seated, we order what we like and it comes out fast and fresh and hot and the staff is always great and gets things right. We talk to everyone and get acquainted and have great conversations and drinks and food and music playing in the background and laughs and stories to share LOL OM LOL 😆 I love the staff they are top notch in my book and pleasant and fun and always available and great people ,we always give a good tip for that one or two staff members that done a excellent job for us. Co-workers and friends have a great time with everyone and enjoy. We even get take out for later. It's the best restaurant for Christmas parties or any occasion or One on One or family. Have a nice time 😀 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2025...
