Waikiki Hawaiian BBQ, El Cerrito CA

Me and my girlfriend came here on a Friday afternoon super hungry, here’s what we thought of this wonderful place:)

MY REVIEW:
This place is amazing. If you’re in the area looking for something yummy to eat at a great price, you absolutely need to stop in and grab something here.

I got the beef curry, oh my god- it couldn’t have been better. The beef was SO SO tender, the curry was exploding with flavor, it comes with rice and macaroni salad- both of which were wonderful. The portions were extremely generous. That meal came out to less than $15 and was beyond worth, I will be putting this on my list and definitely coming back.

MY GIRLFRIENDS REVIEW:

So so so so delicious this is the best Hawaiian food I’ve ever had. Very authentic you can tell they put a lot into their recipes.the food was prepared quickly and was hot upon arrival.

The gravy they put on my food was so delicious and made everything come together, and I was able to get a side of kimchi which I loved! Definitely will be coming back to try the masubi as they had many yummy options of different types. 10/10

Great Hawaiian food, reminds me of being in Honolulu. Highly recommend the Moco Loco and chicken teriyaki.

Don't bother with the mini version of the loco moco, get the regular size, you will love it, I guarantee it!

There's a breakfast platter of rice, eggs, and Portuguese sausage I want to go back and try next time.

They also have a wide assortment of Hawaiian sodas.

The service is horrendous. The Asian owner is a complete a hole, super rude, not welcoming, won't spend a dime of my hard earned money at this place. Not deserving, learn some respect, service skills and manners and maybe ill.come back.

Hit the spot. I had the curry beef stew with the beef patty and teriyaki beef, malasadas, and fries. Curry beef chunks were tasty and tender, beef patty was also tasty and tender overall the meat and everything was really good. Really glad I came here!

Service was great, order was ready for pick up. Busy area, there is a parking lot inside the block and then a short walk if you can’t find parking up front.

(Photos are taken half eaten I was so hungry lol)

Horrible customer service. The older male individual at the counter has no manners and no respect for his patrons. Too short a fuse. It’s too bad really, but I’ll drive to Pinole for L&L going forward.
