Niu Hawaiian BBQ — Restaurant in Redding

My son and I stopped into NIU Hawaiian BBQ and left stuffed, happy, and already thinking about when we’ll be back. The vibe inside is simple but inviting with island touches, beach mural, bamboo accents just enough to give you that Hawaiian escape without needing a plane ticket.

Now let’s talk food: We ordered the Spam Musubi and the BBQ Mix Plate both were absolute winners. The musubi was wrapped perfectly, with just the right balance of rice, spam, and sauce. A perfect starter.

The BBQ Mix Plate was no joke. It came LOADED with a mountain of beef, ribs, and chicken all grilled to smoky perfection. The ribs had that beautiful char that gives you a little crisp on the outside while staying tender inside. The chicken was juicy and flavorful, and the beef was seasoned spot-on.

And yes the cold macaroni salad? Honestly hit the spot. Creamy, chilled, and the perfect contrast to all the hot grilled goodness.

Portion sizes? Let’s just say you better come hungry or plan on taking some home. This is a solid spot for anyone craving big flavors, generous portions, and a little slice of the islands right here on...

I bought two plates from this restaurant, which I was excited because I heard they have great food. However, I got home and split the plates with my daughter. She found a hair in the food. I immediately called the restaurant and spoke with an employee. She said I need to bring the food back. I explained to hear that we were in the middle of eating it. She said since we don’t have all the food there is nothing they can do. I then asked to speak to the manager and she said he was too busy to talk to me and instead told the girl to tell me it’s against their policy. I asked what the policy is and she said “ sorry, I don’t know” I asked her to ask the manager and she said “ he is too busy” At this point I’m think this is not right and nasty. I don’t mind buying another plate but not sure if I would get another hair in my food. Makes me think how dirty it is behind the counter where they cook the food. It’s clear they don’t care about the already paid customers. Their only concern is helping the customer that are at the restaurant and moving to the next. I definitely don’t recommend this...

We were doing a road trip and needed a place to have a lunch but did not have much time. Portions are large, food is great for the price, the eatery was very clean and service exceptional. My husband got bbq mix with beef, short ribs, chicken that comes with rice, veggies and mac salad for $16.99, I took seafood mix with fried fish and shrimp also comes with rice and mac salad for $14.99, highly recommend as this is great alternative to fast food and burgers. Mac salad was really good! Since it was our first time we were also given to try various sauces as complimentary add-on. The menu has great options for different size portions. There are enough tables to eat inside, but they also pack nicely for to go. The gentlemen who was at cashier on 1st of May 2pm was exceptionally professional and polite, going extra mile.

Highly recommend this place!!!

Added bonus is that we were driving electric car and there are superchargers 5 min away, so you can charge the car while having lunch...
