Was excited to see a new Hawaiian spot! but sadly, the food was not ono! got the korean chicken & this was NOT korean chicken! first of all, it was made with breaded chicken chunks. probably pre-frozen from restaurant depot. but the sauce is where they really went wrong. it was sooo spicy it was unenjoyable. they used the right chili, thai chilis, but they also used chili oil, it was gross. i had to drown it in their bottled teriyaki sauce to wash off all the spice. the mac salad was pretty decent. could pass as a local hawaiian recipe. could use some salt & pepper but at least they used best foods mayo.atmosphere was ok but only because they had maoli playing on the tv. price was not worth it either but i get it, the cost of everything, went up.if im feeling homesick & hungry for a plate lunch, i won't be coming herekatsu's & musubi's may be on the menu, sadly the recipe & quality is far from hawaiian

Been living in RSD all my life since the 90s and a lot has changed and very disappointing. But first this place used to be a taco shop called Dave's and I can see why they drastically changed to a Hawaiian bbq joint. Whoever the owner is has not studied or researched Rancho San Diego and the history and the people...The daves taco shop was ridiculous...15-20 bucks for a carne asada burrito??? Everything was over priced....then it didn't go well so the owner decided to sell hawaiian food.This is my review of the Hawaiian joint and speaking as a Pacific Islander.........NO!!!! You're better off going to L&L or other places cause this is just not good hawaiian food. The portions are huge but the quality sucks. I can feel that the owner is DESPERATE but being creative with what kind of food should be sold here. I know he's the owner cause when I went to Dave's..he was there in his work shirt "Dave's taco shop"...then I went here today to check out the Hawaiian theme and it was the same dude but different work shirt that's says "Dalu's Hawaiian bbq" lol I wonder what other cuisine he'll think of next..hopefully not "Dave's golden Diamond Chinese food" Here's a HUGE ADVICE for the owner. Change this place back to when it was the OG taco shop in the 90s...it was called "LAS PARILLAS" And I bet you anything that if this place got changed back to Las parillas and promoting it on Facebook....all of El Cajon's and Rancho San Diego community and ppl who lived here for years would be coming here in waves...I bet every single damn chair and booth would be filled with customers enjoying simple mexican comfort food. Try it out...if the Hawaiian place isn't getting popular...try the last resort which is changing it back to LAS PARILLAS

Didn't even realize this new restaurant opened and much needed may I say. There's no L&L near by. And I would have to say it even tastes better than L&L. And holy crap the portion is GENEROUS. I mean heck, we ordered two Aloha BBQ mixed (chicken, beef & 2 ribs) and one Teriyaki Chicken plate felt like it weighed about a 5 lbs each. Comes with 2 scoops of rice and scoop of macaroni salad. BBQ were perfectly charred. I also ordered spam musubi - YUMMY! Inside is super cute. A lot of different sitting options and it has a bar area say WHAT?! and I saw they have Malasadas. Definitely trying that next time. So EXCITED for this joint. If you're thinking about it - don't! Just come on by.

We always drive by this place and it smells so good! So we decided to try it! I'm so glad that I did! Because the food is amazing!! The service is also amazing! I was overwhelmed with all the choices and had a hard time narrowing a couple to try. I was glad that customer service is amazing, and they are informative with describing the different dishes. The place is pretty big with plenty of seats! It really looks like it's a local hangout! The food is soo good! I got the katsu and spam musubi. My daughter got the Kalua pork. We both enjoyed our food. The pork is so tender and flavorful. The katsu is very crunchy and delicious. The musubi is a very good size. We will be back to try more items!! All the food that we've tried is delicious

I definitely recommend trying Dalu Hawaiian bbq. This new restaurant is amazing. We ordered a mini plate of teriyaki ribs, a regular plate of Korean BBQ chicken, a 5 piece or lumping, musubi, an order of Malasadas,and a cheesecake. Everything was delicious, with great portions and a decent price. The restaurant has a chill hawaiian vibe with hawaiian reggae music playing. The cashier Sharleen was very friendly and answered any queations we had. We will definitely be coming back here again.

Dalu Hawaiian BBQ is a fantastic spot for a satisfying meal. The chicken katsu is amazing, with great portions and nicely done rice. The prices are fair, making it a good value for the quality you get. It's a refreshing alternative to L&L BBQ, and I'll definitely be coming back again. Highly recommend trying it out!

Below average at best. I rate it 2.5 stars overall. This was our first time. We ordered Chicken Katsu, Garlic Shrimp and Teri beef. First the teri beef. No sweetness in the beef marinade. Salty and tastes like its only marinaded in soy sauce. Not even Shoyu which is what Hawaiians use and has sugar/sweetness. 1/3 of my beef was fat!!!! See picturesThe Chicken Katsu was over cooked and the Katsu had no salt. Also they did not provide Katsu sauce!!!! The Garlic shrimp was just a simple basic shrimp sauted w jarred minced garlic. The shrimp should have fried scallions w chunks of fried garlic. The Mac Salad didnt have apple cider vinegar in it! Bland/plain. Had sooo much hope for this place, but was disappointed! No Poi no Lomi, no Haupi, no long rice etc. this is not "Hawaiian Food"Most other Hawaiian Plate Lunch places in San Diego are much better! For the average person this place may be ok. But being Hawaiian, my family will not be returning!

If you want great Hawaiian food in the East County, look no further as this place has it! The Kalua Pig is excellent and the Teriyaki Chicken is delicious. Even though it's not posted on the menu you can opt to get a two meat combo if you order a regular plate (it costs a couple of dollars more than if you ordered a single meat plate). They also have a value menu which includes a fountain drink. My only complaint was the macaroni salad which is rather bland. Portions are large and the staff could not be nicer. There also appears to be a full bar on site. Will definitely be back to try more of the menu.

Dalu does it RIGHT! Food is in good proportion, priced right, and downright ONO DELICIOUS!! Transported to Oahu every time I eat their food! Great job on the food! I see they are constantly making changes to the decor to match the Hawaiian vibe- the Hawaiian music is RIGHT ON TARGET!
