Hana Hawaiian BBQ

I kept seeing this place all over social media with people raving about it, so I figured I had to try it for myself. I ordered the mixed platter with spicy chicken, short ribs, and another beef option. It came with rice, broccoli, cabbage under the meat, a stuffed crouton, and macaroni salad. Even though the place didn’t seem busy, it still took about 26 minutes to get my food. When the plate came out, I’ll give credit where it’s due — the presentation looked amazing. Unfortunately, the taste didn’t match the looks at all. The macaroni salad had such an overwhelming mayo flavor that it completely ruined it for me — 1 out of 10. The spicy chicken was smothered in an overpowering sauce where I could barely tell what it was supposed to taste like — another 1 out of 10. The short ribs and the

My friend and I had the best experience here and truly couldn’t stop talking about how good everything was. The customer service was excellent—everyone was friendly and welcoming—and the food came out super quickly, which was such a plus. We ordered a little bit of everything and not a single bite missed. To start, the drinks were perfect: I had the taro bubble tea (so smooth and creamy) and my friend had the strawberry fruit tea, which was refreshing and not overly sweet. For appetizers, we shared chicken and beef musubis, crab rangoons, and a spicy crab roll—each one fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. For our mains, I had the Hawaiian Chicken Platter with rice and macaroni salad, and it was comforting, hearty, and packed with flavor. My friend ordered the mixed platter with

I finally got to try their food. The Hawaiian chicken was fresh and filling. My boyfriend got the BBQ platter. I wish I would've got that. The meals were amazing. The seasoning was just the right amount. The flavors were mouthwatering. Everything hit the spot. We met the owner Ming, who was so down to earth. He talked to us about the history of his business and continuous ideas he creates to keep the menu wanting more. He even gave us a sample of his creation. The place was immaculate. The menu appeared endless.

I had an okay experience here. The interior is clean, welcoming, and has a relaxed atmosphere. It’s a newer establishment, and everything looked and felt well-kept. I ordered the beef, and it was tender but mediocre flavor. The mac salad stood out to me personally though — I like their take on it. Everything tasted freshly cooked. I also tried the passion fruit tea and the strawberry fruit tea — very refreshing. I felt like they could offer a few more pieces of broccoli only got about 2 or 3 😒 Another thing that caught me off guard was that all food is served in takeout containers with plastic utensils, even when dining in. The utensils were a bit flimsy, which felt slightly out of place given how new and polished everything else seemed. Overall, the food didn’t blow me away but it was

Went here when I was in Philly since we saw it was halal and their short ribs are so good. The rice and the mac salad is such a good side combo. Really wish there was one in NY but until then I’ll be visiting every time I’m in PA.
