If you’re chasing that island vibe through food, Waikiki Hawaiian Grill serves up a menu that feels like a quick trip to paradise. I dove straight into their Island Favorites, where the BBQ Mix stole the show—sweet, smoky chicken, tender beef, and perfectly seasoned short ribs, all on one plate. The Hawaiian Fried Rice, dotted with juicy bites of meat and veggies, brings beachside comfort in every bite.
Craving chicken? You’re covered. The BBQ Chicken Plate comes hot off the grill with that iconic island glaze. For something crispy, the Chicken Katsu Plate—golden-fried, panko perfection—is a must-try, especially when dipped into their rich Katsu sauce. I also loved the Grilled Lemon Pepper Chicken, which was surprisingly light and zesty.
For beef and pork lovers, the Kalbi Short Ribs Plate is rich and flavorful, marinated to perfection, while the Kalua Pork Plate delivers a smoky, slow-cooked experience that screams authenticity. Seafood fans will find their match in the Grilled Salmon Plate or the Crispy Shrimp Plate—each served fresh, bold, and satisfying.
Waikiki also knows how to do combos right. The Half & Half lets you mix your favorites, perfect for indecisive eaters like me. If you’re looking for a smaller portion, the Mini Meals offer the same flavor-packed experience in a lighter format.
And don’t skip the appetizers—Spam Musubi is a handheld island classic, and the creamy Macaroni Salad is comfort in a scoop. For a quick bite, their bowls (like the Teriyaki Chicken Bowl or Kalua Pork Bowl) are hearty and convenient.
To wash it all down? Go for the Taro Coconut Smoothie or Thai Tea. Refreshing, sweet, and totally tropical.
Waikiki Hawaiian Grill brings island flavor to your plate—with heart, heat, and serious flavor.
