10/10… food and service is superb no lie

Really good smoothies and fast service and great food!

This is one of the best lunches I have had in long time . Colleague suggested this place and decided to take a shot . Not the nicest or cleanest neighborhood , however this place is worth the trip!!! The quality of food is amazing and the portion is huge !! I looooveee food and can eat quite a bit but wasn’t able to finish the combo . And let me tell you this girl can eat .😃 I highly recommend this place . And the people are super nice !

Big portions for around 12 dollars per order. The food tasted great and was delivered super quick.

Got take out from here and it was amazing! The food was so good and the portions were generous. Def a hearty and homey meal. We enjoyed it a lot and I will def order from here again. Especially enjoyed the garlic shrimp, chicken katsu, macaroni salad, and spam musubi!

Great selection of this food. Must try Oaklandishhhhhhh.what a taste. It’s an amazing

The best Hawaiian BBQ spot in the bay area! Loved their Chicken Combo and Aloha BBQ mix! They also have family meal deals! Yummy

Fast service. Good quality meat and vegetables. One thing about these places that shows quality is blanched but crunchy vegetables. The chicken katsu was crispy but not burned and the inside moist. I have been consistently well served at ilava.

we (meaning me) got lost(oh no!) trying to get to ono and so i absentmindedly asked my bff, google to get us to the nearest hawaiian restaurant and thus ilava you too, google. mwah! :)

Was in need for some food and came upon here. The food was amazing and worth it.

Love the food! :-)

The Ilava Hawaiian BBQ restaurant offers a delightful blend of flavors and a laid-back island atmosphere. The menu features a variety of grilled meats, seafood, and traditional Hawaiian dishes. The grilled meats are often well-marinated and tender, providing a delicious taste. Accompanying sides like macaroni salad and rice complement the main dishes nicely. The service is usually friendly and attentive, contributing to a pleasant dining experience. Overall, if you enjoy the flavors of Hawaiian cuisine and a casual dining experience, the restaurant can be a great choice to savor delicious BBQ dishes with a touch of the islands.

The girl at the front had an attitude, this garlic shrimp is too salty, the macaroni salad has no taste whatsoever AND there was a gray hair in my food.... absolutely disgusting I'll never spend my money here again...

Greeted with a smile and excellent customer. The food is really good and the Teriyaki sauce is yummy ❤️🤩. Nice portion sizes and no problem with substitutions...the barbeque beef is the best...but if you prefer chicken you will not be disappointed. And the price of the food is still reasonable...and it's clean in the restaurant...

Good food and they give you alot for your money. I would recommend the smoothies as well, they are great!

Best Hawaiian food I’ve been able to find in California. Good price, large portions, taste amazing, great quality ingredients, and very friendly staff. Every time I’m in the Bay I make a point to visit.

bomb Hawaiian bbq! love the chicken katsu and beef. highly recommend!

Amazing quality of meat! Excellent customer service! Will come back again!

Great portion size and delicious fresh bbq! Also kind customer service!!

Best chicken Katsu. Mini meal enough food for one but I like ordering full and saving half for another day. We’ve ordered the party trays and it taste great. I like the fried fish too. Call and order pick up, bit cheaper. Great spot.

Great customer service. Great food; my favorites are the tonkatsu and korean BBQ. Wish they have one the SJ area.

The food was disgusting and it tasted OLD. I immediately got sick an hour after eating this food and the cabbage tasted soggy and bitter. Most respectable Hawaiian bbq places serve crunchy fresh cabbage. I had to throw it away and I’m extremely disappointed I wasted my money and my lunch time on this “food”
