Waikikie Hawaiian BBQ

New comfort food alternative. Food was good for the price. The crab Rangoon was homemade instead of generic frozen ones. The service was really fast and owners are nice. Good option to try out the cuisine or quick bites.

Ordered waikikie Hawaiian bbq restaurant through Uber Eats and I was truly impressed! The food arrived warm, fresh, and absolutely delicious. The portion sizes were perfect, filling without being overwhelming. Everything tasted so fresh and flavorful, and you could tell it was made with care. I’ll definitely be ordering again! Highly recommend if you’re craving something tasty and satisfying.

It's certainly not the best Hawaiian BBQ I've had, but it's probably the best I've had outside of the 9th island (Las Vegas) and it CERTAINLY beats L&L. Curry is more soup than gravy, which I didn't love, but the katsu is crispy, the bbq beef and Spam musubi were both delicious, and albeit the prices are a tad steep, the portions are pretty solid. Mac salad was good, too. Again, way better than L&L's.

This place is always absolutely amazing. From the owners being super nice to the best tasting Hawaiian food, this place is a gem. I’ve been coming here with my daughter since she was 5 or 6 years old, she’s turning 21 next month and we still come here!

I got the mini Loco Moco and the plantains. I definitely wasn't ready for such a big plate of plantains but they were so good. The Loco Moco was great. With the mini you get 1 scoop of rice and macaroni salad. That alone would have filled me up but I was hungry. The staff there was very personable and was telling dad jokes. I also got reminded of a show I needed to get back into while it was playing in the background. I do like that the staff also joked around with the food delivery people. I'm from out of state but the staff made it feel like a community. A little positivity can go a long way. Even my introverted self felt welcomed. I hope I have time to go back before my trip is over.

We tried this spot looking for something new around here and it was well worth it. Great employees they're all on a really good vibe and their service is phenomenal. They make everything so fast but quality is not sacrificed in the process. The portions are also huge!! You will have plenty of leftovers. Loved the food and the dining experience, ill absolutely be back again soon.

Honestly I have been trying to get to some Hawaiian BBQ spot somewhere in Atlanta. I am a closet lover of Spam and knowing this is a Hawaiian staple I was down and the husband was game (he's a foodie). It may not look like anything spectacular but it is. I ordered the fried rice that had spam, shrimp, egg and pineapples and had some kona smoked pork on the side (and mixed it in). The husbster had the kona pork and chicken lunch special. Hands down tasty with cute and funny jokes to boot! Definitely glad this was out first exposure to Hawaiian BBQ.

A nice and warm place for a quick comforting meal. Big Portion alert. But cannot resist ordering the spam musubi

I lived by this place for years and never went. And then one day I decided to stop in. The vibe is very casual Hawaiian tiki type decor. Both the older gentleman and woman are friendly. I got the beef, katsu chicken, and BBQ chicken. It came with rice, cabbage and Mac. The Mac definitely is the show stopper here. I started getting a double scoop because it's just that good. Definitely would recommend this place!

I had high hopes for this place, but the overall experience left me a little confused. Passed by it for many years and decided to give it a shot, although I'm not sure I'd give it another. It's a quirky little spot with a tiny, TINY parking lot of off infamously busy Briarcliff Rd. Getting in and out is rough to say the least, and patron traffic can create a conundrum. There might be more parking in the rear, but don't quote me on that. There is an adjacent parking lot that accommodates overflow. But this place is affordable, the owners are nice, and the vibe definitely carries the theme of Hawaii. Takeout was easy. Now I haven't been to Hawaii (YET.... **manifesting**) but I have a strong suspicion that this is not the best native Hawaiian food in the area. Perhaps I just didn't get the right things this time around. The menu offerings are fairly simple, with emphasis on rice, macaroni salad, and a meat. They do have a good variety of appetizers. The food was just okay to me. The sauce that came with the dumplings was vinegar heavy with a water-like consistency, and frankly just not my cup of tea. We got the Hawaiian BBQ Beef and BBQ Chicken. It honestly just tasted like a standard teriyaki sauce, and maybe that's all it is? The meal wasn't memorable, but fairly priced. I like to gauge restaurants that serve a specialty cuisine based on the patrons - if I see the restaurant is frequented by the ethnic group whose food it serves, I'm ecstatic. I can't say I've seen that from Waikikie in all the years I've lived in the area, which makes me question its validity that much more. Maybe there's just not a lot of Hawaiian people in the Atlanta area... I'll give it another try though and see if my opinion changes at all.

Amazing food and service! I had never tried this spot before so I decided to go for lunch with my family. Boy was that a good choice! The employee at the front was so kind in giving suggestions. Two of his recommendations were the bbq beef and teriyaki chicken. I got this as a plate. The beef was AMAZING! So tender and a great filling option. The price was also very good coming in around $13 for two meats and two sides! Wish I knew what was in their sauce cause it also complimented everything I got. Would love to return for the service and yummy food!

Pretty good Hawaiian food but wished the katsu was thicker and there were more veggies under the meats! Came by on a Friday night and I was picking up but the person at the counter was moving really slow with cash when there was just one party in front of me.

I really enjoy this place. It is affordable food with a friendly staff. I got the Garlic Chicken with pineapple with two scoops of rice and mac salad. I got the Spam Musubi. This is a stand alone venue with limited parking in the front and more parking out back. The chicken was definitely thighs and a good mixture of vegetables and pineapple. The price makes it worth it. The flavor makes it a steal. The rice is nothing to write home about. Mac salad was a nice addition. The protein has good flavor that comes from the sauce. There is a slight kick of heat from the garlic. The Spam musubi is good. Not that tasty but the rice makes it very filling.

I really wanted to like this place more! I came in craving Hawaiian comfort food -- especially some macaroni salad and spam musubi. The spam musubi ($6.50 for two pieces) was a letdown: the spam was barely griddled, no furikake in sight, and way too much rice and seaweed. It just didn't come together for me. I tried the Chicken Combo ($11.99) to sample both the BBQ Chicken and Chicken Katsu. The BBQ Chicken was disappointing -- hard and dried out chicken thighs that tasted like leftovers. On the other hand, the Katsu was solid, crispy and satisfying. The macaroni salad was excellent, creamy and flavorful, exactly what I was hoping for. Very much on the plus side, the staff here are super friendly and service was fast. Overall though, the food was hit-or-miss.

Georgia doesn't have many Hawaiian bbq spots but this one was a visit I made wayyyy back before Covid! My husband and I decided to go for a drive and visit this place again. It is on a busy road so traffic can be tough to get to but once you get to the spot you are met by parking in the front and back. It is a very homely and cozy restaurant with a lot of decor and plenty of seating. You do order at the counter and they bring you, your food. We ordered chicken katsu plate and we found a seat. The owners Jean and Jason were there and we struck a friendly conversation with them. Our food arrived not too long after. Everything was delicious and cooked at the right temperature along with great size portions. We finished our plates up completely and didn't feel over stuffed. We really enjoy this place by the delicious food, and friendly staff. We try to come here as much as we can.

I've been wanting to try this for a long time. I ordered online and got the kalua pork & chicken combo. Both come with/2 scoops of white rice & 1 scoop of mac salad. Everything was delicious! I would recommend eating the chicken katsu right away cause when you reheat it, it's soggy because of the breading. I wish it came with more mac salad. I don't like how they charge extra for an online convenience fee. I would try this again.

My friends and I came here curious about it for a while since we drive by it so frequently. It was not very busy on a Wednesday afternoon but they were consistent with their takeout orders. After much deliberation and being told their more popular dishes, I got their Kalua Pork. My friend got their Chicken Combo, and shared the Coconut Shrimp. The pork was tender, moist but a little too salty for my tastes. The chicken katsu and shrimp were sooo perfectly deep fried with a wonderful crunch. Mac salad was decent so I was glad I opted for 2 scoops of that over 2 scoops of white rice. For dessert, we tried their Upside-down pineapple cake. For the record though, we think they forgot to truly turn it upside down. It was sweet but also dry even though there was a good amount of syrup soaked in. Overall, it's a cute locally owned store with lots of unique qualities of its own. Prices are pretty fair so I wouldn't mind coming again!

Son and I came for early Friday dinner. Service was quick and friendly. We enjoyed the spicy teriyaki chicken which came with two spring rolls, rice and mac salad, and spicy garlic shrimp which also came with rice and Mac salad. The rice was on point this time! Both my son and I ate all the Mac salad. We also got shaved ice for dessert as my first choice, the pineapple cake was sold out. I asked about the white Christmas tree which is decorated with service men and women, and at the top of tree is Officer David Rose, whose funeral was today dying in police service protecting the CDC. He came here frequently according to the friendly staff lady at the counter. I appreciate that touch and honor to our military.

We ordered takeout from Waikiki Hawaiian BBQ, and while the food was ready very quickly, the taste just wasn't there. I've had much better Hawaiian BBQ, even from chain restaurants. The chicken katsu was dry and hard, and the macaroni salad was not good at all. It didn't taste like the kind I've had at other Hawaiian spots. The BBQ beef was decent, but again, I've had better. I probably wouldn't come back here. The one positive was the service. The older lady at the front counter was friendly. Unfortunately, the food just didn't deliver.

The service was very nice and the restaurants decorations are very cute. It's refreshing to have Hawaiian type food. I tried the bbq, some different sides, and spam musubi. I would give it a 7/10 I have tried better in the Atlanta area. It's not close to food you can get in Hawaii.

Maybe Hawaiian food isn't for me. It felt like mall food with macaroni salad. It wasn't bad it just wasn't anything I hadn't had before... just by a different name... bourbon chicken is what it resembles. I understand the cultural connection between Hawaii and Japan etc. I expected similarities... but what I got... no thanks. The service was nice quick and the people were nice.

This is the best delivery I've had in a loooong time. First of all very grateful they were even operational and delivering as we ordered via UberEats on an evening when there was a huge storm and power outages all over town. We had the dumplings, plantains, and the Waikiki combo plate which had beef and chicken plus a side of rice+macaroni salad. It arrived fresh and hot. Granted we were hungry and without power but still, everything was delicious. Especially loved that the plantains were well cooked, ie caramelized and almost blackened. The dumpling filling was lovely especially with the cabbage. Enough for the two of us plus a bit of leftovers for $55 including the delivery, tip, etc. Would definitely order again or eat there.

I will be back for sure. And you should try this place out. This place is similar to L&L in a lot of ways (IYKYK). People are nice, ambiance is quaint, clean, and service is good. The food is really good too, which was the biggest shocker to me. I was pleasantly shocked cause I've tried other "Hawaiian" places in other states and it isn't very good or authentic. Got the Katsu curry plate (my go to at L&L) and it was so good, like if you told me it was from same place I grew up eating at I would tell you that you were right on the money. Also got the spam masubi and some fried shrimp and both were excellent. I think if you had to pick one get the shrimp, only because they were fried to perfection and a perfect share with my wife. If you have never tried Hawaiian food before then please give this place a shot, so many things on the menu that something will tickle your fancy for sure. And if you love good Hawaiian and don't wanna go to Peachtree City for L&L, come here. It's for sure worth your money.

This experience was cool, I have had this restaurant on my list for awhile. I got the spicy shrimp and it was served with macaroni salad & white rice. The spice was there but I'm not a fan of pineapple in it, this is no fault to the restaurant. The service was great, its cute on the inside but it was cold.

Looking for something good and filling I decided to try this place because I have not tried Hawaiian food. This was my first time ordering from through DoorDash. I ordered the Waikikie Combo. And it was really good and had enough later to eat. The macaroni salad was good and the seasoning was enough. I definitely will be back to try other things on the menu. 5/5 for food and the placement of the food.

I've always wanted to try Hawaiian food that wasn't a poke bowl, because I love poke bowls, but I know there must be more to the cultural. Very pleased to have found a place here in Atlanta where I can try just that. Ordered the Chicken combo which came with chicken katsu and a barbecue chicken, rice and mac salad. None of the items were particularly flavorful. Everything could've used some salt, even the rice. The barbecue chicken tasted prepackaged to me to the point where it felt and tasted familiar. The spam masubi was tasty and pretty big portions. The saltiness of the spam did wonders. I'm glad I was able to try Hawaiian cuisine, but maybe I'll try something else on the menu.

What I got was super good! It's a hole in the wall Hawaiian place! The workers were very nice. There aren't really Hawaiian places in Georgia so if you're craving Hawaiian food I highly recommend!

If you're a foodie looking for something different and delicious, you've got to check out Waikikie's!!!

You order at the counter and they give you an umber. You fill your own drink cup, and get your own silverware. Staff is friendly. Used to love the spam musubi and plate dishes. Their menu signage changed and got updated but the items are the same. However taste changed. The musubi had too much rice and the spam was cut too thin.. couldn't taste the seasoning that was so memorable before in the musubi. The plate dishes were ok but a tad too sweet.

I was excited to try this place because I've never tried Hawaiian BBQ (my only Hawaiian food introduction is poke, which I absolutely love), and this place seems to have great reviews. I ordered pick up, and here some things to note: Parking: Thankfully, there is parking at the restaurant, but it's very limited. I accidentally took a wrong turn and turned into the business next to the restaurant, which ended up working in my favor since there were no parking spots left at the restaurant. Service: The worker I interacted with was extremely sweet and greeted me with such a warm welcome. There was no one else in line, so I was able to get in and out quickly! Food: I ordered the spam masubi and the Waikiki Combo (beef and chicken). I was excited to try the spam masubi since that is a staple, and I'm so glad that I ordered it! I easily could've downed more of these because it was that good! My one gripe is that I wish the spam to rice ratio wasn't so significant so I could taste more of the delicious spam. Either way, it's such a simple dish that packs a delicious punch. On the other hand, I was not super impressed with the Waikikie Combo meal. I do wish that there was a more even distribution of chicken and beef since I much preferred the beef. I paired the beef with kimchi I already had on hand, which married it together beautifully. I wasn't the biggest fan of the chicken as it was a bit in the saltier side. Also, I honestly could've gone without the macaroni salad since it barely had any flavor. I'm not entirely sure if I will return to this restaurant as it didn't blow me away, but I'm super excited to try authentic, fresh Hawaiian food in the future!

Waikikie is underrated and very fairly priced. If you aren't looking for it you might miss it (and you might even miss it if you are looking for it lol). I've also noticed that there really aren't a lot of Hawaiian food options in / around the city, so if you're looking for some inside the perimeter, I'd recommend Waikikie! I've been a handful of times, most recently I got the Waikikie combo (half chicken half beef) with a scoop of rice and 2 scoops Mac salad. Typically plates / combos come with 2 scoops rice one scoop macaroni. I also got the fried zucchini. The Waikikie platter was huge - it definitely last me two separate meals. Not pictured is also some cabbage under the meat! Needed some flavor / a kick so I added sriracha, teriyaki, and a little soy sauce. They have a little station inside to sauce up your food. This is the type of restaurant where you walk up to a counter and order and pay and then your food is brought to you or an order number is called. Not a full-service place - just a heads up! They have seating both inside and outside. The building and inside could definitely use a spruce/clean. The inside is poorly lit and doesn't look like it's been updated or renovated in decades. It kind of reminds me of the inside of a Taco Bell from the '90s that has been frozen in time, with a different color scheme lol

Hole-in-the-wall Hawaiian! You get a lot of food for a reasonable price! Things you should know: I. PARKING There's a free, private lot out front of the restaurant. Easy. II. SERVICE Timely. There is a fountain station and self-service utensils. When you enter, you order at the register and they'll give you an order number table marker. III. QUALITY I've never been to Hawaii to say if the food is authentic, but I would assume with the ambience and presentation, it is. Aside from that, the food tastes amazing. As for the interior? It's dingy and dated, giving it character, but could use some updating. IV. CAPACITY This place is fairly busy on weekends but we always saw an available table during our stay.

I'm from HNL.. so I miss our local food! I love this place for my go to's like chicken teriyaki... chicken katsu.. and of course spam musubi!!! Friendly greeting and I love the patio area !!!

I've never been to this quirky little restaurant, until yesterday. We planned lunch with our daughter and she wanted to go there, so we did. You order at the counter and then they bring the food to you. We had Spam Musubi and spring rolls as our appetizers. The spring rolls were standard, basically what you would get in a Chinese restaurant. The Spam Musubi was delicious. I don't recollect ever having Spam, and I'm a Baby Boomer. But it was amazing. All three of us had the Beef and Chicken Combo. So delicious. It came with plenty of both meats plus two generous scoops of rice. But here's the surprise. It also came with a side of macaroni salad and it was probably the best macaroni salad I've ever had. Maybe it's the way they make it in Hawaii, or maybe it's just the restaurant's take on macaroni salad. I have no idea but it was so delicious. It was not all " mayonnaisey" and runny and white. It was thick and colorful and beautiful. I will actually go there again for macaroni salad takeout!! The gentleman behind the counter (I'm assuming the owner) was very friendly and happily gave me a run down of various menu items. Service was fast and the ambience was nice. My daughter described our experience as a nice dining experience, receiving our food faster than a fast food restaurant and we didn't have to deal with a waiter"! Give this place a try

A fantastic local gem that transports you to Hawaii. Food is fresh and super flavorful, and there is something for everyone. I personally had the waikikie combo and the beef and chicken were amazing.

I think the picture speaks for itself. They need to learn how to pack food properly for delivery. The gravy ended up all over the and macaroni salad. Why would you pack cold macaroni salad next to hot food with a sauce. It is true that you eat with your eyes first. And this picture says, I will never order from here again. AND IT TASTED BAD!!! More money wasted!

If you've never had authentic Hawaiian food it would be ok. Just food has pineapple chunks or food is made with pineapple doesn't mean its Hawaiian. In order to specialize in a region or area of food. The owner should have visited tasted it from that location or organically know how it should taste. We ate here on another person tiktok review. She must have gotten paid. The food just wasn't it.

I believe it's the only Hawaiian restaurant in the area, so seems to have lots of regulars or people just stopping by to try it out. I can't say if it's authentic since I haven't been to Hawaii, but the food is very good and portion size is definitely worth it for the price. I had it a lot when I was in college so I highly recommend it for students around the area. They have a lot of menu options so there's something for everyone. Quality seems to be consistent from when I had it years ago. It's something that always crosses my mind from time to time as a craving so I recommend it if you're in the area or haven't tried it before.

This spot is a hidden gem! The BBQ chicken, Kalua pork, and Spam musubi are bursting with flavor, and the portions are super generous. The employees are always great and very helpful .

Hawaiian BBQ, truly a niche specialty, but every city needs one. I got the super combo and the loco moco. The take out container came with a cute little card on top, got to love the touch. And then 2 containers of heaping food, though honestly I couldn't tell which dish was which. Loco momo - 2 Pattie's with gravy and 2 eggs on top. It was creamy and delicious. I think this was my favorite. It's comfort food and give you the feels. I think the rice was a bit dry and I think would've been improved if it had been taken out of a rice cooker warm and soft. Can't say I am a fan of macaroni salad but this was pretty solid The super combo! BBQ chicken and beef with gravy on top and 2 eggs as well. What can I say it was good, but even with the gravy the meat was a bit tough and hard to get the flavors as the gravy and eggs smothered it all. The loco moco was a hit for me, I think all the elements of the dish worked together. I like the personal feel and more mom and pop vibes. Would recommend :)

Our first visit to this restaurant. Loved the varied menu! Our ohana ordered chicken katsu with curry sauce, kahlua pork, regular and spam moco loco, and appetizer platters of fried pork dumplings. All entrees came with scoops of steamed rice and chilled macaroni salad and were served on warm steamed cabbage. And shave ice is a refreshing way to finish your meal. Everything was amazingly delicious, and the only way to describe the macaroni salad...yummy! Aloha, Waikikie Hawaiian BBQ! Can't wait to come back!!

I have been wanting to try this place forever and it was just a bust even after seeing the glowing reviews on Yelp. Coming here on a Friday night, it was pretty busy! There is free parking but lot can get crowded. This place is an order and pay at the counter and get the food delivered to your table. The cashier/server here is the hands down the BEST service we ever had and he's so funny. As we were new and people in front of us as well, he offered to run through the menu and provide any recommendations and he was just so helpful! My boyfriend and I ordered the spam musubi, Waikikie Combo, and Chicken Katsu and added pineapple sauce. We arrived at around 7, we ordered our food to-go to not stay too close to closing. It was pretty busy so we waited around 15 mins for our food. The spam musubi left so much to be desired for the high price tag. The spam had no sauce or anything it seemed like and was frankly cut so thin compared to the amount of rice served. The amount of rice packed in this was so unnecessary and I removed nearly half of it. I really wanted to love the Waikikie Combo, but it was soooo salty! Both the beef and the chicken were so unbearably salty even with eating a mouthful of rice each time. The proteins were cooked well, but just overly salted. The mac salad I found to be fine and to be adequately seasoned. My boyfriend found his chicken katsu to be just okay, but nothing stellar. It was still crispy after the drive home, but the pineapple sauce we paid $1.50 extra for was pretty insulting. It tasted like extra sweetened sweet and sour sauce in soft jello form. Maybe I expected something different from pineapple sauce and maybe like more pineapple taste or pineapples, but sauce is a major skip. If they served sweet chili sauce, that would have been eons better. All in all, I don't foresee myself coming back anytime soon.

Ok, I wanted to love this place. I had been looking forward to it for weeks leading up to my trip. Being born and raised in Hawaii and no me living on the mainland we look for Hawaiian food whenever we can. Service 9/10-Everyone was super sweet. They even brought the food to me and opened each container so I could see it. Ambiance 8/10-It's cute, a little cheesy but very clean. Food: Waikike Combo (BBQ beef and chicken) 5/10-Usually a BBQ mix consists of several pieces of BBQ beef and chicken. This was cut up and included onions. I feel like they used the onions as a filler because there was not a lot of beef. It was seasoned well, but the macaroni salad was super bland Chicken Katsu-2/10-The only thing good about it was the crunch. Meat tasted unseasoned. Even the Katsu sauce was bland. Spam Musubi-8/10- Pretty good, but spam musubi is hard to mess up. They had Hawaiian Sun so that made me happy. Overall, if you are from Hawaii or have had true Hawaiian BBQ, you will be disappointed.

First timer and certainly looking forward to coming back to try something else off the menu. The food was superb, the atmosphere was amazing as well. I love the warm welcome and service they offered upon entry.

Food is delicious and tasty and the service was very outstanding felt like I was home again, I highly recommend this place, definitely will be back again, till next time...ambiance was great

It had been a minute since I've eaten here. Outside of getting my hair cut across the street, I don't really spend a lot of time in the area. Had a rare occasion where the family was in the area so we chose to get some food. We got the chicken katsu and coconut shrimp. The katsu was alright. My coconut shrimp was just meh. Kinda tasted like something I can get from the frozen aisle at Kroger. Service was awkward. There were not menus posted until we arrived at the counter so the ordering process can be slow when people haven't had a chance to make a decision beforehand. Then when food came out, I noticed another table received their order very similar to ours. Here's the kicker. They ordered after us. I believe they are under new management since the last time we've been here. It appears they have some kinks to work out at the moment.

Great place if you are craving Hawaiian food/plate lunches! It is a standalone building off a busy stretch of Briarcliff Rd. They have like 4 parking spots in front and more parking in the back. They have a little screened in porch in the front. The inside is super casual but I don't really come for the ambiance. A lot of people doing to go orders but there are some booths and tables inside the small restaurant if you'd like to dine in. You order at the front counter. The lady taking orders was super nice and accommodating. I got the bbq pork and bbq chicken combo with gravy and eggs. It came with rice and mac salad. It was a lot of food and lasted a few meals. The meats/gravy were kind of salty for my taste but I don't like salty food to begin with. The rice helps balance it. I also got an order of 2 spam masubi to go. I recommend eating these fresh while the rice is still soft. They serve hawaiian sun canned sodas and canned/bottled Kona beer. A true taste of the islands!

R and I came here for lunch because he wanted spam musubi, and, since he invited me and was going to pay, who am I to say no? :-) There are less than 10 parking spaces in front of the restaurant, with more (not many, though) spaces behind the building. There is also a larger parking lot at the little strip mall next door, but I would assume that the business owners there would not appreciate any of Waikikie's customers parking there. Due to Covid-19, the main dining area is not being used and is closed - it's either take out from here or dining in the patio, although the patio is enclosed so it's almost like being inside. There are three tables in the patio. I would not suggest eating in the patio because the patio is where customers walk in to either place their orders and/or pick up their food. The employee who took our orders was nice and efficient. She wore a facemask as she walked quickly between the patio and the kitchen, relaying the orders to the kitchen and bringing the food to the customers. R ordered the Kalua pork meal and the spam musubi, and I ordered the Hawaiian bbq beef plate. The pork and beef had good flavor, and both of them were tender. The restaurant provided some nice tasting teriyaki sauce that I put on the beef and the sauce enhanced the beef flavor. Beside the meats, both of our orders came with some sautéed cabbage and onions that didn't have much flavor, two small scoops of white steamed rice (which was on the mushy side - too much water) and a very small scoop of Hawaiian style macaroni salad. Although the spam musubi looked great, the two big pieces we shared lacked the bold salty taste of the spam that I was expecting, and the rice was slightly mushy. My parents are from Hawaii; I grew up in Southern California. I am very familiar with Hawaiian cuisine. The food at Waikikie is just ok, because it missed the mark on some of the flavors of the dishes. I honestly thought the macaroni salad was the most authentic tasting out of the whole meal. It would be nice if management here increased their serving sizes of rice and macaroni salad. Those are actually less expensive foods to make, so don't scrimp on the amount you provide with the meals. Let the customers feel like they got a good deal.

So far the best Hawaiian food I've found in the Atlanta area that matches what I could find that brings me back for more! My go to has always been the Spam Masubi which is very well made and great size for the price. Staff is always friendly whenever coming in and even online orders ready to go when I come in with little to no wait! Nice cozy dining room but seems pretty good size for the building especially with the outdoor seating I've seen (Always passing through to head somewhere so haven't yet got a chance to dine in one day). Definitely highly recommend!

The restaurant has a casual Hawaiian ambience when I walked in. The lady at the cash register welcomed me warmly. I ordered loco moco and the food served quickly. The rice is moist and the mac and cheese salad is perfectly seasoned. I love the runny egg on top on the hamburger patty. Would come back again!

This is a great place if you are looking for something tasty and quick. The service is here is also great! The guy behind the counter helped everyone out while attending to each individual making sure they were doing ok. The ambiance also has a cute Hawaiian feel. My only negative side to it is the price. Im just so used to spam musubi being a dollar where i am from. The parking can also be a hassle when it gets busy. But those are all minor things! Love this place! I would recommend their spam musubi and beef bbq!

Highly recommend Waikikie for a friendly, quick and delicious meal. Have been coming here for years and the staff is always quick, polite, and the food is delicious. Big fan of the chicken katsyu, macaroni salad, and cabbage. The meals are generous and the cheesecake is delicious.

It's been a while since we've been here so we decided to check it out on our way back from a road trip. Overall I feel like the prices have increased significantly and the service or food hasn't matched the price increase. I know there's inflation and everything but at this price point I feel like one thing would stand out (ambiance, food, service, etc.) and I just didn't get that. Fun concept though and one of the only Hawaiian places in town.

Me and my wife came here for the first time and the food was literally what we expected after seeing different reviews not just of this restaurant but other Hawaiian spots like this one. Service was great and the people were nice. We will be coming back no doubt.

The food was pretty good, I got the Chicken Katsu and the Barbecue beef. Both were pretty good. It was cooked fast and the service was 5/5 the cashier was so nice and patient. The ambiance was nice everything was so calming and homey.

Food is fantastic. Everyone I am in the area I eat here. Even if I'm not hungry I'll go grab a spam masubi. (Don't knock it till you try it). People are always so nice.

I haven't been here in a few years so decided to take my friends for a super casual, cheap eats after a successful pool day. We thought it was fitting that we were all sunburnt and eating Hawaiian food hehe. Anyway, it's a counter service and they bring food to you. As a group, we ordered a variety of everything. I didn't taste whatever else everyone had but I did order the BBQ beef and shared a spam musubi. The bbq beef came with thinly sliced rib eye and sliced onions in teriyaki sauce on top of cabbage. Every rice plate comes with 2 scoops of rice and macaroni salad. The beef was sweet but not overly too sweet and tender to chew. The spam musubi was so good too! The sweet sauce balanced out the saltiness of the spam. This meal definitely took me back to Hawaii!
