Hawaiian BBQ — Restaurant in South Pasadena

The taste of their food is spot on. A real delicious taste, but their prices have gone up tremendously over the years. 2 pieces of spam masubi used to be $3.50. Now it's $5+. Mini portions of food entrees used to be $7, now they're basically $9. Used to come here a lot, but not anymore for that price.

Update as of October 2020:

Food is still spot on but now they even jip you on the portions as well. My almost $9 mini spicy pork (photo) came with meat that could fill up about 2 tortillas. I guess you should always go for the regular size but I’m afraid even that went up in price to maybe almost $12. The added meat doesn’t look like a lot either for that much. I’m way better off driving to the Hawaiian place across the street from East LA Community College on Atlantic and getting a full on single meal that will last me lunch and dinner for $7. The place is called Ohana Hawaiian Island BBQ. It’s so good and they give you so much food and the...

First time here. I don’t get the whole “Hawaiian bbq,” thing. It’s basically any spot that sells beef/pork,chicken with some sauce.

Menu says combo includes “any,” two meats…so I order bbq chicken with Spam…owner says with a cold, smug voice, “No Spam.” I said you said “any two meats, the menu says any two meats…” Still no Spam LOL! What a joke. The food was no better than any charred chicken spot with teriyaki sauce. Mac salad was bland. NO roll. The bbq with onions also bland. To top it off, I paid almost $16 for what is $10.99-12.00 elsewhere. Place was dirty. Hard pass...

Love love this place. Best hawaiian bbq food around the area. Price is ok food is delicious, and the workers are always nice. I get the BbQ combo and the dumplings.....the food is delicious and they have very generous portions!!!. I don't work around the area anymore so I don't eat there too often as I used to. I wish they had another restaurant closer to were I live but they're a pops & moms small business which I think is what makes it so authentic. I definitely recommend them, if you ever find your self in beautiful South Pasadena you have to make sure to stop by and try their...
