Everything is always amazing. Best spot in DT Davis. Food is always spot on and definitely worth your money.

I've been on a little bit of a Hawaiian BBQ kick this past year, so, the last time I was in Davis, I stopped by Tim's Hawaiian BBQ for dinner.I chose this place based on the crowd-- it was beyond packed with college students, which told me that I would probably get a good value for whatever price I paid for my meal.I also noticed the aroma from about half a block away, and it smelled incredible.I ordered the half and half combo plate with short ribs and chicken katsu, with sauce on the side, to go. It also came with one scoop of macaroni salad, and two scoops of rice. Even though there was a huge crowd, I didn't have to wait very long for my food to come out. Staff was friendly, and everything looked relatively clean.The portion sizes were very generous. There was enough for nearly three meals. I could have easily split this with someone, and still gotten full. The portion of ribs was particularly generous.The flavor was very good, but not my favorite of all time. I could see why it was popular with the college students, but also why it was on the cheaper side. I would definitely try this place out again next time I'm in Davis.

While in the area for work, my coworker and I decided to grab some lunch. And, as two local Hawaiians, we naturally found the Hawaiian spot. We just had to check it out and give it a rating.Upon walking in, we noticed the vibe was open concept, clean, and chic - not your typical Hawaiian ambiance (Surf, Beach and palm trees?), so we were a bit skeptical at first. But with all the great Yelp reviews, we decided to trust them, and boy, are we glad we did!The food arrived quickly, and the chicken was absolutely delicious - juicy and bursting with that classic Hawaiian BBQ flavor. The mac salad was outstanding, and the rice was perfectly sticky and tasty.My coworker indulged in the tonkotsu ramen and musubis, finishing the entire dish with a smile. We saved the musubis for later and will definitely be back for more.Overall, the food quality was top-notch, delivering authentic Hawaiian flavors that we, as locals, wholeheartedly approve of. "E mālama pono," which means "Take good care" in Hawaiian, certainly applies to the care they put into their dishes. If you're in Davis, this place is a must-visit.The portions were generous, too - I had enough leftovers for dinner and was happy to satisfy my cravings a few hours later.I totally recommend this place!Hope you like it!

- Mediocre food. - Dry chicken katsu. - Chicken musubi tasted old.- Rude service which is funny given the self-serve kiosk. There was two girls in the front: one appeared lost and confused which made me think that she is new. However, the other girl in a white top and claw clip was a major b- --you can fill in the other letters :)). Ridiculous attitude, expressions, and mannerisms (which she clearly lacks). But they're Davis kids so what do you expect--can't say that I'm surprised. I wouldn't come again.

Tim's has been the go to Hawaiian BBQ spot in Davis for years. Any time I'm in the mood for BBQ chicken, chicken katsu, or salmon I'll come here. Their Musubi is decent too, and they also have things like poke and ramen but I've never tried them. Quick, tasty, and affordable grub that is reasonably healthy if you get the veg instead of rice/Mac salad.

Incredible portion size, fresh and ready within 10 minutes of ordering. Everything tasted great - chicken katsu, spam musubi and fried shrimp are favorites!

Date: Tuesday, August 6th, 2024Party of: 2Meal: Dinner TakeoutHow Ordered: via phoneTime Picked Up: around 9:30pm*Loco Moco ($16.95)*Kalua Pork ($16.95): all Mac ($0.75)*BBQ Mix ($17.45)*Three Style Mix ($10.95)*Bag ($0.10)The hubby and I were on the way home and decided to grab Hawaiian BBQ takeaway for dinner. I initially was going to place the order online, but the site they use charges a fee, so I decided to call it in instead. I think it was less than $2, but every bit counts right?I haven't had Hawaiian BBQ in a while and places in the Bay where we are, the portions seem to be getting smaller. Shrinkflation anyone? The portions here were generous. The hubby really enjoyed the loco moco. My mixed plate was tasty as well. And the short ribs were a thicker slice, so nice and meaty.Great spot for Hawaiian plates. And they are open relatively late for a Tuesday. Til 10pm!REVIEW #3508

I was already in Downtown Davis for an event at Molly Jasmine nearby and decided to try Tim's Hawaiian BBQ. I remember when this used to be Island Fish Grill, and before that, Fish's Wild. Two kiosks for self-ordering. Although they also have ramen and other items like fish & chips and tacos, I stuck with their Hawaiian fare. I got the Spam Musubi and the Curry Chicken Katsu Plate (2 scoops rice, 1 scoop mac). My main got the BBQ Mix plate (chicken BBQ, beef BBQ, shortribs) with mac and fries, and a Hawaiian Sun drink. For dine-in, they had cucumber water and water at the soda fountain. Lots of tables inside, very clean, and Bon Appétit streaming channel on TV. Food was ready without a long wait, text message when it was done. The spam musubi was good, and the macaroni salad was great! There was a huge portion of chicken katsu in that clamshell for the price, so much that I could only finish half. The curry sauce itself was interesting, not quite the flavor profile I expected to be more like Japanese curry, but still good. I wonder if their actual Katsu sauce would be a better choice for next time. Open late-ish, located next to T%. Since it was near closing time, the gal did let us know when the kitchen would be closing, and the last call for any food orders.

Meh. Beef is too salty. Chicken katsu didn't have much flavor and the fish was more panko than protein.
