I love the food, prices, and customer service. I also cater here quite frequently. Lastly, I love the fact that they take Sundays off. Nothing to complain about!

Loved the lemon chicken. Grateful they had low cal beverages other than Diet Coke. The potstickers were good. Mac was good. I used the lemon sauce on my fresh green salad and it was so light, refreshing, and delicious. Pork buns take longer so we'll try those later. Order taker very chipper. Meal arrived quickly. The place is a little buried back in a strip mall not connected to the one next door.

Taste: 3/5 slightly above average taste. Service: 5/5 fast and cashier is friendly. Overall: 4/5 good for its price, definitely worth coming back when I want something decent and quick.

"Fantastic Grilled Delights and Family Vibes!" I recently discovered the Hawaiian Drive-In located just before Southland Mall, and it has become a go-to spot for my family. The prices are reasonable, making it a fantastic choice for those seeking high-quality food without breaking the bank. Conveniently situated next to a jujitsu and auto parts destinations, it's the perfect go-to when hunger strikes. The highlight for me is the emphasis on high-quality protein in their grilled offerings. If you crave delicious and satisfying grilled food, this place deserves a solid 10 out of 10. Beyond the tasty menu, there's a distinct family-owned vibe that adds a welcoming touch. I'm always supportive of family-owned businesses, and this one has quickly won me over. I highly recommend the Hawaiian Drive-In to everyone in search of a delightful and family-friendly dining experience.

It's been years since I've been here. I'm glad they are still around. I ordered the lau lau and Kalua pork combo plate. I told the gentlemen that I only wanted one scoop of rice. He was kind to offer a second scoop of Mac salad. So for the dish: plenty of food for the price. The kalua pig and cabbage was a 4/5. Had a good Smokey flavor, and not to salty. The pork was very shredded so it's not what I'm use to. The Lau Lau was a 3/5. A lot or taro which had a sour taste, one huge piece of pork and a huge piece of fat. But the pork was cooked fine. Rice 4/5 it was a little dried out and the Mac salad was a 5/5. I'm glad he offered me to scoops. It was simple mac, not to much dressing, elbow noodles cooked perfectly. The restaurant was very clean and had constant traffic.

I've been wanting to try this place for a while, so when the opportunity to pick up lunch for my new office came up, I knew this was my chance to try Hawaiian Drive Inn. I ordered 7 Katsu Plates, 7 BBQ Chicken Plates and 12 Spam Masubi. Everything was made to order and delicious. They are so generous with their portions! My co-workers wanted to nap after lunch, it was so filling. I only ate half and saved the rest for lunch the following day. I would definitely order from them again.

Not sure why it took us so long to try this spot, we lived around the area for many years now and we ordered take out for this spot in one week! That's how good it was, we came back. Also you can't beat the price, quality, and portion during these times. Homecooked Hawaiian food at unbeatable prices. We love getting the half/half plate which comes with 2 meat, and 3 sides (2 mac salad and 1 rice, or whatever you want). So far we've tried loco moco, chicken katsu, garlic shrimp, bbq chicken, beef teriyaki, pork lau lau, and kalua pork. Portion wise, the chicken had the best portion. They were all delicious but my favorite would have to be: bbq chicken, chicken katsu, and pork lau lau. The chicken katsu sauce was so good! It wasn't too sweet like how the other Hawaiian chains make it, but had the right sweetness and tanginess. The bbq chicken was amazing! Juicy, tender... mmm. The pork lau lau was so good, hard to find this nowadays so we appreciate it being offered on the menu. I'm looking forward to coming back to try their saimin noodles and other dishes. Inside looks like it has good enough seating to dine-in. We'll try that option next time. The workers were super friendly and fast. Also they have those yummy Hawaiian canned drinks for purchase.

My go to place for Hawaiian BBQ catering! The most reasonably priced place to order trays of food in this economy! The food is also pretty good! They are very nice and accommodating whenever I call in and pick up. Would highly recommend this place!
