Keoni Island Food

Been wanting to try this place out for sometime. Got the obligatory musubi for my two kids and they approved. I also got them the garlic furikake fried chicken and they devoured it. I was able to get a couple bites and it was delicious, tender, slightly crispy and oh so freaking good. Can't wait to come back and try more. Gentleman at the counter was helpful in making a selection for my kids.

PROS - Garlic chicken is SO good! Will for sure go back for that. Mac salad and slaw were good also. Loco moco also good, but see con list....CONS - We love runny eggs, but the eggs were SO underdone that they were translucent/raw and slimy on top :( A little more cooked on top would be way less gross. Also the bathroom smells terrible (like grease trap that needs to be cleaned?). Last con was the ube malasada. Would have been great if it wasn't so greasy and soaked with brown oil :(

First timer. I ordered a single plate today and found hair in my mac salad the moment I opened my box. Super disappointing. I normally don't try to bash restaurants. But I don't even want to leave a review about the food after seeing this. I was really excited to try to this place too.

I had eaten catered food from here through my work and I thought the food was good so recently I reached out via email that I got from their website to order 60 spam masubis for a baby shower. Their response was quick and the process was easy. Then, just the day before the baby shower I asked to add on mac salad and pork belly. They were so kind to accept my last minute order.The spam masubis were a hit. All 60 were gone. People ate several even though there were lots of other foods. I will come back to try the chicken katsu. Will definitely order from this establishment again.

I have been here 3 or 4 times now, their food is delicious and the employees are so welcoming. I highly suggest upgrading to the spam fried rice, you won't be disappointed.

I have been hoping there would be a good Hawaiian bbq restaurant that would be closer to my house and when this one opened up only 3 miles away I was ecstatic! Staff here are always very friendly and welcoming. They have a good selection of food to choose from. You can call in for an order or go in. Seating is limited but it's cozy and clean inside. Food is to die for, always hits the spot. Everything always tastes as good every time I order. They also have a dessert menu. Parking is easy bc it is in a good decent area. Highly recommend.

After spending the day in Anaheim, we were hungry. Yelp guided us here with the 4.5 avg rating, and the pictures looked great. It's located on one end of the plaza, and we scored parking right in front. The place is small. There are only 2 tables that can seat 4, the others are for 2. It's very casual here. You line up and place your order at the counter, and they'll hand you a number. Then, they will bring the food out to your table. Plastic utensils, water and napkins are all self serve. Service was decent. Not really feeling the true Aloha but nothing to complain about. We had 2 combo plates and a bowl: Garlic furikake chicken bowl was good. You'll definitely taste the garlic with the strips of fried chicken. Both combos had the kalbi, one with BBQ chicken and one with garlic furikake chicken. Both came with Mac salad and coleslaw. The mac salad tasted nothing like the Hawaiian flavor, and it had a fishy furikake sprinkled over it, which made it weird. The coleslaw was bitter, without any of the sweetness in actual coleslaw. The BBQ chicken was pretty tender but underwhelming. It just lacked flavor. The kalbi had good flavor with some pieces more tender than others. One piece I got didn't taste as fresh as others. The garlic furikake chicken was probably the best, with bold flavors. We also got a guava filled malasada. Generous filling and warm, it hit the spot. Too bad it's something that should be eaten fresh, or I would've ordered more to take home. I can only assume there aren't many other Hawaiian joints in the area to compare, and based on the demographics of other customers and the staff, this may be the best that's available, thus the high rating. We left full, a bit weighed down and a bit disappointed at the sides of our combo.

The best Hawaiian food that i've have in a very long time! All of their combos are stacked and made with quality care. The galbi was so tender and pork belly was the perf texture. Even the macaroni salad was 10/10 what i ordered: * chicken katsu sandwich * loco moco* furikake chicken and galbi plate * pork belly and teriyaki beef plate * filled malasadas * ube horchata * aloha maid my fav were the galbi and pork belly! service was also great, he gave awesome recommendations and food came out pretty fast

Keoni Island Food is hands down my favorite place to grab a bite when I'm craving Hawaiian food. Their menu consists of various delicious dishes such as their popular Garlic Furikake Chicken, Loco Moco, Kalbi, and more. One time, I remember eating here and the guy next to us came up to tell us that it was "the BEST galbi he's ever had in his life". If that's not telling, idk what is! They also serve house-made malasadas! Soft, chewy, and perfectly sweet.What we ordered: Garlic Furikake Chicken Plate Kalbi Beef Short Rib Plate Garlic Butter Shrimp Plate Soy Garlic Glazed Salmon Plate Malasadas

Never disappointed when I eat here. It is a smaller place so not too many tables/seats. Highly recommend the beef bowl.
