★★★★★ 5.0 Kailee Defranco · Mar 2026

Great Laulau here! Other mix plate options available as well. My mom got chicken Katsu with mashed potatoes and Mac salad and loved it! Their tossed salad is served with their house dressing and it's so so yummy!!!

Of course I got the 1 pound LauLau. Also got the Saimin and BBQ mix plate which did not disappoint. Would return for Saimin. Lots of parking, handicap space and great people delivering great service.

Yakitori chicken was fantastic. Chicken Katsu was 4/5. Fried rice was super loaded and really good. 99 cents for a to go cup of soda we already paid for was meh.

First time trying traditional Hawaiian food 🍴✨ Pork LauLau, Chilli Pepper Water, and a fresh Green Salad—all served with the nicest, homie vibes. Absolutely loved it! 🌺 #BigIsland #Hawaii2025 #USA2025
