Big Island BBQ & TEA House

Delightful Hawaiian food experience. Loved the Mac salad and green tea. Combo mix plate recommended. Excited to return.

A family member was craving Hawaiian food; therefore, we got take-out from here, and we were all content. We opted for all macaroni salads (no rice) for each combo, and the $3.75 charge each is excessive. At least the mac salads were more flavorful and creamy than L&L's version.Katsu chicken: crispy panko crust with juicy chicken always makes this a solid choice, 4/5 stars.Bbq mix combo: the bbq beef, kalbi rib, and chicken thigh were all slightly sweet but savory and tender, 4/5 stars.Spam masubi: standard, the usual more rice than spam ratio, 3/5 stars.The service was friendly and fast despite that the food was cooked to order. We'll be back for more!

This place is not good. I ordered the curry chicken and what the gave me was something like chicken katsu with a cup of curry. I was expecting something like Hawaii type of curry chicken katsu, not chicken katsu and a cup of curry???? The BBQ mix was sooooo small and the short ribs was rubbery. You're better off going to Ono's off of Newport Road. It's the closest you're going to get to authentic Hawaii lunch plate, not the best but the closest.

I ordered the mango matcha latte and asked if the sweetness could be decreased and the employee working told me no. It's a mango puree, and clearly you can put less. I ordered a family meal with 2 orders of chicken katsu. I asked about the katsu sauce and was told 2 are given per order and i should have 4 in my bag. In the picture, i obviously don't have 4. I didnt ask for nor want the other sauces. The sauce it what basically makes half the katsu dish. Next time, please give me what I want, especially if I spent that much on dinner

Same story, bad service, I don't know why everyone in here is not very friendly because you're running a "Hawaiian food" joint with no aloha. I usually just come in here for boba and it missed the mark by far this past visit. The matcha was so bitter, I couldn't finish it and it just went in the trash. My friend's galaxy tea was overly sweet and she also didn't drink hers, too bad they don't ask for a preferred sweetness level, for sure won't be back.

I was visiting my mother in Murrieta and she was craving Hawaiian BBQ so we picked this place. She loved the barbecue plate and I ordered a Loco Moko, this is my go to plate at any Hawaiian barbecue place as it features a hamburger patty. I forgot to ask if it was a former frozen patty before I ordered and my meal came with two frozen patties.They were higher quality patties, but you can definitely tell the difference from a Hawaiian place that makes hand formed burgers. Go back again, but not for the Loco Moko.

Super sweet kids working here. I ordered 3 bubble teas and they were reasonably priced. ATTENTION OWNER get your employees some AC. The temperature was sweltering hot for the guests. NOT cool to make anyone cook or work in that heat. (Pun intended). When it hits 107 outside AC is a necessity and no longer a luxury.

Delicious Hawaiian food and very friendly service. Came here for lunch and got the BBQ combo. Everything on the plate was deliciousI recommend the short ribs for sure and the macaroni salad was amazing Delicious

S/O to Robert at the front end! He is very kind, sweet and professional. He helped me with fixing my order and even let me pick it up another day when it wasn't raining. My typical order is the chicken and beef combo plate, and it was very good!

I ordered delivery and they called to tell me the driver accidentally got the wrong order. Mistakes are made and I'm happy they fixed it. They said "we know you are regular" but it was my first time eating from here. I wasn't a regular before but I definitely am now. Food was very good and fair for the price. I got the bbq combo and have zero complaints at all. Spare ribs are necessarily my favorite but I loved there's and the chicken and beef were equally delicious. Thanks :)
