Liliha Drive Inn

"Decent portion in a togo box. A restroom is available outside the diner. Lots of people chose to take out instead of dining in."

"My love of Hawaiian food and BBQ runs long and deep but I have never been to Hawaii until now. On the bus to the Aloha Stadium Swap Meet, my husband saw the “Hawaiian BBQ” sign for this inconspicuous diner on the corner, so that meant we just had to try it on the way back. Best. Decision. Ever. The entry door is on the parking lot side, and there’s about 3 four person tables inside. It’s the old school Asian restaurant feel you don’t find anymore - faded pictures of the menu options on the wall, older chairs and tables, and one person at the counter with another in the kitchen. There is a vast menu but we decided on two ‘minis’ - bbq ribs and mochiko chicken - they were anything but mini. My goodness the portions were huge, we were only able to finish one container. The mochiko chicken was sooooo crispy and moist and addictive, unlike any mochiko chicken I’ve had outside of Hawaii. The bbq ribs were meaty, and soft, and the char was beautiful. I want to try more of the menu. 100000% will be revisiting before heading back home. Killer food at this hole in the wall. Highly recommend!"

"Place is great! Big portions, decent prices, parking, nice staff, and tasty meals."

"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 sixteen year old son said to me... "We should just eat here the whole time" it was that good... Oh and the macaroni salad was probably the best I've ever had."

"Great spot for Hawaiian breakfast and lunch plates. So far we’ve only tried the Garlic and Mochiko chicken and both were great. The max salad is also on point here. I’m definitely looking forward to try a few other dishes. They have a parking lot next to the restaurant which makes it easy to stop in and get some good eats."
