"I recommend the kalabi ribs. I've gotten take out several times. It is great when on point but they are inconsistent. The last time, the rice was mushy, the Mac salad too salty and warm. Chicken and ribs were good."

This place was delicious! I ordered the #1, which was the beef rib plate, and my wife ordered the #2, which was kalbi short ribs. The beef ribs were tender and would melt in your mouth. She liked her kalbi ribs, but they were a bit chewy. The plates came with 2 scoops of white rice and one scoop of their potato macaroni salad, but we substituted one scoop of rice for two scoops of Mac and one scoop of rice. For both meals, I paid about $33, and it was worth it. Most hawaiian places are about this price, but my beef rib plate almost couldn't close in the take out box because there was so much food. It is worth a visit if you are in the area and I'm sure it won't disappoint. There are a couple...
The pineapple swirl is a bit expensive but far better than what Disney serves. Yes, it is good. I was surprised by the simple dressing they use for the green salad, it was tasty same as the macaroni salad, creamy and fresh.. The teriyaki sauce was nice, really nice. The overall BBQ were yummy, and as a family we really enjoyed the rib the most, then beef. Pitifully chicken were on the dry side but the sauce were made to enhance the chicken meat for sure. I can't stress
Good food can be extraordinarily good, eliciting good memories. In the case of Matiki Island BBQ, it fell WAY short of the meals I experienced while living in Hawaii. While the Chicken teriyaki (left) had a good taste, the chicken was dry. The Macaroni salad was my most anticipated item of this meal; as I loved it in the ubiquitous Hawaiian Plate Lunch meal from The Rainbow Drive-in in Waikiki. This fell short too. It felt like calories wasted instead of well spent. My
No greeting upon entering as the only customer in the establishment. I greeted the cashier and she ignored me. Not the best start. The marinated meats in my entree were delicious and very favorable, however the white rice was old and soggy and the pasta salad was warm and extremely over peppered. Half my entree went uneaten. I will not return and would not recommend to anyone. I would rather spend my money elsewhere. Good luck to them though.
