Homestyle Hawaiian 1558 East H Street, Chula Vista, CA 91913

"Ordered to go. Korean Chicken - 1st pic: those brown spots are dried out & hard. 2nd pic: Katsu chicken - tasted plain. 3rd pic: battered zucchini- too much batter that zucchini did not stick to it, parts of batter was still raw. The macaroni mayonaise salad tasted plain. 4th pic: $10 wilted salad. We went around 6pm - maybe bad time to go. Maybe the food tastes fresh early in the day"

"I was recommended to Homestyle Hawaiian for some authentic Hawaiian food. My husband hasn't had chicken katsu in a long time. We ordered 3 plates and some musubis. Two katsu plates and a kalua pig plate. My husband was so deeply disappointed in the katsu. Katsu is a local Hawaiian dish that originally came from the Japanese plantation workers who settled in Hawaii. The name comes from the Japanese dish "tonkatsu". The breading from the katsu was coming off of the chicken and the katsu looked like it wasn't cooked for very long. The kalua pig was subpar at best. Also, the katsu sauce smelled like barbecue sauce and was not at all like the katsu sauce that my husband was used to in Hawaii. I saw a previous review from two months ago that says that this location is no longer owned by the same owners. Maybe that's why the food and overall quality has changed. If you were born and raised in Hawaii or have been a Hawaii resident for a long time, you will understand. Maybe this was just an overall bad experience, but unfortunately I don't think we would be back again when we are in San Diego."

"As always this place never disappoints. Some really good authentic Hawaiian food! Whenever I’m back in San Diego I make it a mission to come and eat here! So filling and delicious! Kind of bummed they don’t have Dole Ice Cream anymore but they did suggest a place called MJ’s Deli just up the stairs, however was closed at the time. Will be back again!!"

"Delicious food! I haven’t had Spam since I was a child so trying it again was interesting but delicious! The meat lumpia was a little disappointing. They didn’t have much flavor. The sauces were delicious and I loved that they made they’re lemonades fresh as they’re ordered."

"Hello, before eating here, please take a moment from your day to read: We just visited this place recently (on Tuesday before watching Venom) and was extremely dissatisfied and with our visit. First of all the staff wasn't friendly. It seemed like the two cooks were on their lunch break and were disappointed when we walked in (giving us dirty looks.) And the main guy seemed like he was having a rough day when taking our order, repeatedly saying , "anything else".. I ordered the Korean Chicken with their Ponzu sauce and a side order of salad. (Attached a pic.) The salad barely had any dressing (which was good because I'm cutting but still) The main thing I received after coming here was hardcore diarrhea and vomiting before watching our movie. I was on a 15 hour fast before eating here so I know this place was the cause. I was reading some reviews and some people got food poisoning from this place as well from ordering the chicken.. Beware of ordering any chicken from this place.. would have much rather went to L&Ns, El Pollo Loco or my moms house than eating here. I am definitely not coming back here ever again, and if I can help prevent at least one customer from food poisoning, then I truly believe that this was a successful google review.
