Sunset Texas Barbecue

Barbecue restaurant

👍👍 From someone born and raised in the Texas Hill Country growing up with proper low and slow BBQ, this place does it RIGHT!!! Brisket with that beautiful pink smoke ring under the flavorful bark (exterior). Sausage with a great snap in the casing. Ribs that will fall off of the bone with a gentle pul...

Spicy Ahi & BBQ

Sushi restaurant

👍👍 I find myself here usually once a week getting my fix for some fantastic Japanese food. Every menu item I've tried has been absolutely phenomenal and there's such a great variety, there's something for everyone. Notably, the tempura here is the best I've had on the entire island island. The spicy ah...

Guava Smoked

Barbecue restaurant

👍👍 Restaurant is on the second floor. An elevator is available from the parking lot in the back. We had the smoked duck, and "spicy" smoked pork. Both were delicious, though the duck was on another level. The pork wasn't spicy at all. We had kimchee as a side. It's a bit on the small side and not very...

Yakiniku Sizzle

Yakiniku restaurant

👍👍 Nice restaurant for the bbq evening! The service is great, and the menu is wide with a great selection of the high quality meat. We ordered Wagyu Sampler and Pork Belly, and it was enough meat for two. The bibimbap was tasty and served in stone pot.

Kau Kau Grill

Hawaiian restaurant

👍 Came straight from the airport as soon as I got out. If you love meat, this is the place for you!! Huge portion of meat and very generous amount of rice. Seriously, the rice lasts for days.

Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ

Yakiniku restaurant

👍 It’s a fun place if you have the time. A little off the main strip and the environment was a little rough around the edges, but the staff were aces and cooking your own food at the table was fun for all. The number of menus and options was a bit overwhelming but the staff walked us through everythin...

Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 This is a famous chain Japanese BBQ place which only offers all you can eat option in Hawaii. We have gotten the supreme AYCE for 45 per person at lunch and we could recommend this again. You will want to first clear out all the limited options. Kaubi was by far the best with the secret pot came i...

Liliha Drive Inn

👍👍 This place was amazing... Seriously some of the best food I had in Honolulu. We got the hamburger steak and the mochiko chicken. Totally hit the spot! Michigan chicken was crispy, tender and flavorful. The hamburger steak was juicy and drenched in gravy... amazing comfort food. After going there my...

Chicken In A Barrel BBQ Wahiawa

Restaurant

😐 Ordered from this place on Quick Cuisine because of the free delivery and I was honestly pretty impressed. My wife got the BBQ sample platter and I got the loaded fries with beef, which was absolutely delicious. I also got the chicken tacos and I was impressed. I'd definitely suggest getting a half...
