I saw an article in 614 Magazine featuring Lotus Pho & Hawaiian BBQ and was so excited to see another "taste of home." The photos of the Hawaiian BBQ plates looked promising. We invited some friends and went around 7p. There was one other group ahead of us but I didn't think too much of it impacting our wait time. We ordered a Short rib & chicken combo plate, chicken katsu plate, and 3 for $8.50 spam musubis. We also ordered a melon milk tea (I can never find this flavor!) and a passion fruit tea. Short Rib & Chicken Plate: by far, the best marinade and closest to Hawaiian BBQ that I've had in Columbus. The chicken was really good! Everything was chopped up into small pieces instead of the traditional whole piece of meat (chicken thigh and 3-4 strips of short ribs). The short rib was really good as well. The Mac salad is so good! On the sweeter style like in Hawaii. The melon milk tea was good but overly sweet. I went home and added more milk to it and it was edible. The boba pearls were not cooked enough and tough. My husband really liked the passion fruit tea and my son loved his strawberry tea with strawberry popping bubbles. The chicken katsu plate was not my favorite. The chicken was over cooked and too thin so it was a bit like eating cardboard. The sauce was a more traditional Japanese katsu v. Hawaiian style with ketchup/worcestershire sauce. Overall, it was really good and I'm glad to see more Hawaiian BBQ places around Columbus!

Small restaurant. Menu simple. Have appetizers, pho soup, rice and bbq, teas. There is seating for nearly a dozen but each time I go there most business is take put.

Idk what made my chicken katsu plate Hawaiian because it wasn't the katsu and it wasn't the Mac salad. Although the chicken did taste fine. The dipping sauce was too thin and tasted weird. The Mac salad was overly sweet and it looked like you just added elbow macaroni to a coleslaw. Not Hawaiian bbq related but the Thai tea was way too sweet. Was excited for this but another "Hawaiian bbq" fail. Maybe the other food are good but not willing to try.

Opened recently and this should be considered another gem in Reynoldsburg! The short ribs were a family favorite. I loved the comfort of the spam sushi. So glad to have a spot for yummy, high quality food.
