Kainoa's Hawaiian Grill

Great BBQ. Work takes me through here a couple of times a month and this is my goto stop on the way back to Phoenix. Work will pay for something fancier, but why bother when food is so tasty.

Delicious food. I lived in Hawaii and it really brought me back. I was so happy they had musubi. It was so good I ordered a Teriyaki Bowl and 4 musubi to go for later.

I got the 5 meats plate. Wow. Amazing flavor and moist. I have been to Hawaii and I think this was better than the food I got on the islands.

We love this place! Food is always yummy, portions are big, and service is great. Last time we went, we arrived on a Friday evening with about 35 family members. We were surprised how quickly our food came out and everyone's order was correct. They did an awesome job! Everyone loved their food.

I’ve been going here for years, and overall, I keep coming back for the good food! However, Kainoa’s is not without its flaws. For example, service is always a bit spotty. Hit or miss with the friendliness of the staff, honestly. Sometimes the wait times are very long, and sometimes they’re quick and fresh! Just go at the right time when it’s not busy, or call ahead. The food is ALWAYS delicious, with an occasional mistake — we’re all human. Prices are a bit too high, but for a local joint, it’s not egregious. Definitely love the food overall.
