808 Hawaiian BBQ

Tonight, after our walk, we were looking for a place to have dinner and stumbled upon this wonderful establishment where everything was of the highest quality. As someone who is quite particular and picky about food, I made sure to inform them about my preferences before placing my order. To my surprise, the restaurant took all my requests into account, which made me feel a bit embarrassed, but I truly appreciated it. The owner personally prepared the dishes exactly as I wanted, and I am incredibly grateful for that--it was absolutely delicious!I would also like to express my special gratitude to the young lady who took our order; she was extremely friendly and welcoming. Her attentiveness made our dinner fantastic, and both my girlfriend and I were very pleased! Thank you so much, and I wish your business continued prosperity. I highly recommend this place to everyone!

Good food with big portions! Came for a quick lunch and got the chicken cutlet and loco moco combo! Overall the food was good and will be back!

My son-in-law recommended this place for a low price breakfast and he was right. He called in, ordered a take out for us and the service take out was quick. Normal anyway you want 2 eggs, meat on rice. We had medium over egg with bacon and site sausage link (skinless) and over easy with Portuguese saturate. We'll give them a try for lunch and dinner next time. Thank you Josh boi.

We were in the area and decided to pick up a couple of plate lunches to go. 808 Hawaiiian BBQ is a clean, friendly spot near the McDonalds in Waipahu. Ordered the bbq mix and a bbq chicken salad to go. The bbq mix came with rice and Mac salad. Bbq chicken salad had ranch dressing on the side. Both plates had plenty of bbq, so very reasonably priced. Discount coupons on a future visit are given for orders over $30. There is large breakfast and plate lunch menu so lots of choices for whatever you may be craving.

Affordable, huge portions, and fast service! If you're hungry and in a hurry and want something affordable this place is it!! My personal favorite is the loco moco, so Ono and the portions are massive, love their gravy. Definitely not a place to go when you're on a diet.

Huge portions of OK local favorites at cheap prices.A Chinese / Local plate lunch spot. Think of this as your neighborhood L&L or Loco Moco where teri mix, beef stew, chicken katsu sit alongside cold ginger chicken, lemon chicken and chow mein. A place where there are more specials than regular menu items. Letter size pieces of paper taped everywhere with special after special.The garlic chicken, three gigantic, fresh fried, boneless chicken thighs. Crisp and plenty juicy but not much garlic flavor.Based on a "special combo 2,349,854", teriyaki items suffer. The teri beef, over marinated resulting in a sour over powering soy flavor. The teri chicken, cooked perfectly but over glazed with a thick bought in teri sauce. Properly cooked but not crisp fried fish. From the muddiness, catfish? Finally, well fried shrimp that has a definite processed food flavor.Inexpensive. Weighty plates, $16 each.Friendly counter service.It is what it is, giant piles of just OK food.

Lunch in Waipahu, Oahu, Hawaii...There's a group of Yelp Hawaii friends that try to have lunch together on State and Federal holidays. We make suggestions as to where we should meet, and last month's Admission Day took us to 808 Hawaiian BBQ. This is the former location of Hawaiian BBQ House. I was here for Mother's Day, earlier this year. The free shared parking is much appreciated! However, there's no restroom. The closest one is across the street at McDonald's.I ordered the Garlic Salmon plate. It came with white rice and macaroni salad. I believe the Mac salad had some tuna in it... yum! However, the Salmon was a bit dry and on the hard side. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing. I should give it another try since we were given $2 coupons to return since they're in their Grand Opening phase! Service was very friendly and helpful! Thank you!

On a recent State holiday, Admission Day to be exact, a group of foodie friends trekked from town to Waipahu to try one of Oahu's spanking new businesses. The venue was 808 Hawaiian BBQ (808), that is in West Loch Town Station with neighboring businesses such as McDonald's, Hawaii Pot Shabu Shabu, Pizza Hut, Ribs and Broth 3rd Oahu location, and Donnie's BBQ Smokehouse Soul Food Express. 808 opened earlier this month with their grand opening on 8/8/2024. As a townie, GPS easily navigated me here and on a State holiday. It only took a little over 20min one way and I was the first to arrive shortly before 11am. As several more friends shuffled in, I entered 808 with them to check out the restaurant. Interior is spacious and clean. 808 strongly resembles L&L with almost identical menu offerings. I had studied the menu prior to this get together on what to order but scrapped those plans when a lady came to us showing her favorite garlic fried chicken plate. Sold!!!You first order your food and pay at the counter. We sat in a corner and waited for our food. Please note that the restaurant was not busy and it did take some time for the food to arrive. We utilized our waiting time catching up with each other and exchanging recent food findings. It was nice that our plates were delivered to our table. We realized each plate was piping hot, an evidence that food is made to order. For fresh food, the wait is worthwhile in my books. My friends got their food first and after snapping photos with our cell phones, I advised them to start eating so their food would not get cold.The portions are generous here and food was plated nicely but the execution was off. 2 of my friends ordered roast pork but unfortunately the gravy was salty. It was a deep brown color that appeared rich but a bit heavy on the seasoning. Both ate less than half and tossed the rest. Another friend ordered spicy pork but shockingly it was too spicy for him where he only took a few bites and the rest also ended in the trash. We got 2 plates of the highly anticipated garlic fried chicken and it was temperature hot. Chicken thighs are deboned and butterflied, then deep fried until golden brown. However, the chicken sat in the oil too long as the chicken was overcooked. Some areas were chewy and dry. Also, the garlic seemed to be missing. Seemed like this was just a fried chicken plate. On the other hand, the french fries were perfect. Nice golden brown with a great crunch and salted just right. Paired well with ketchup.Customer service was above average. The staff were friendly and patient. Truly 808 is a new business seeking success. Overall, a fairly decent first experience at 808 where I walked away somewhat satisfied. The portions are generous where I was only able to eat about 1/3 with delicious leftovers to take home. Just like any new business, 808 has some kinks to iron out, especially with execution. With lots of shared parking with neighborhood businesses, this location is convenient.

808 Hawaiian BBQ, heard about them from our fellow Yelpers. Awesome find Team! Located in the old Highway Inn spot in Waipahu. Ample amount of parking in a private parking lot. Food selection is very good, lots of local favorites. Very clean and comfortable dining room. We tried the Combination Loco Moco. Hamburger patties with Chicken Katsu served on a bed of rice. Topped with 2 over easy eggs and smothered with wonderful gravy. Their bento had a large piece of deep fried fish with Tartar sauce, nice size portions of BBQ chicken and Teri Beef. Delicious and very tasty. Can't wait to go back to try some of their other delicious dishes.

We ordered thru DoorDash since I wasn't feeling well & did not want to drive from Pearl City to Waipahu. Well... the DoorDash delivery was late because they got lost, so the food was luke warm. I ordered their beef curry bowl which was basically all rice on the bottom, the gravy was thick with hardly any curry taste, one piece of potato and one piece of carrot. There was a lot of meat but the pieces were not fully cooked (simmered) and had a lot of cartlidge so the meat was tough. I had to use a knife to cut the pieces into bite size pieces. I didn't finish the bowl and threw away the rice & meat. My wife's laulau didn't have much taste, the luau leaf and the pork was dry (no fat), no fish either. Big mistake on a Sunday night, will not bother to patronize the next time my wife is hungry for laulau.
