Reviews for Da Hawaiian Kitchen in Huntington Beach, CA
The best restaurants are the ones that the locals highly recommend. This was one of them! Since it was our first time ( sadly... also our last day) we decided to try the Mix plate and a couple other entrees. The Staff was incredibly attentive, went aboveand beyond to make sure our food was perfect. The second we took a bite, it was all over. Definitely try the Mahi here, it?samazing. The Loco Moco is also delicious. The dining room is small but the wait will be worth it. 10/10 would recommend. Read more
I drove all the way up here for the bacon fried rice! Someone had brought it to a work lunch and it was delicious. When I got... there, they had a menu posted on the counter(see photo) but the menu was also posted on the wall and it was much more extensivethan the counter menu. I asked the girl at the counter and she said they only serve what's on the new menu and that theystopped serving the rest about 2 weeks ago. I had looked at the menu online before going there and it was still showing the fullmenu. The new menu is only mostly just chicken. I had planned on getting the kalbi ribs or kalua pork as I'm not a huge chickenlover. Thankfully, the bacon fried rice was still on the menu! Got a large order to go and that was it. It did not disappoint! I will probably go back again but it's a long way to drive just for a side of rice! If I'm in the area, I'll definitely go inand get the rice! Read more
Food was fine: fried chicken was a bit saltier than needed, and the meat was a little dry. Laulau was pretty good. Mac salad was... okay. No seating aside from two outdoor tables. Read more
Good spot for Hawaiian eats. The fried chicken is the draw here and it?s good. Prices are reasonable. It?s next to the Target... and doesn?t face the street so it can be a little hard to find. This place is strictly a take out shop. However, there are acouple of tables outside where you can eat. Read more
Musubis were good. Great selection of Hawaiian juices. 4 stars because they didn?t have pork laulau :( traveled so far for... disappointment. The loco moco was pretty fair tho. Read more
Since King's Hawaiian no longer has lau lau on their menu (as of June 2021) and Shaka's in Monterey Park is gone (my closest... place for kalua pig) and my vacation to Kauai has been in COVID hold, I had to find a new local place for that Hawaiian fix. Looking at everyone else's reviews and pictures convinced me this was the place to go. Got the DHK plate and CPC Chicken platewith spicy garlic (was originally going to get just the garlic sauce, but a couple of reviews convinced me that spicy was theway to go). The lau lau (they had 2 ready when I got there) did not disappoint. It was decent size and meaty and moist, notsoupy. My husband got the butterfish in the half l left him ???? which he said was good. The kalua had that nice smokey tastethat I love. It wasn't fatty or greasy either. It hit that crave. Kalua was on a bed of cabbage not mixed in to water downthat smokey flavor. The CPC was deep fried crunchy goodness with a garlicky, spicy sweet sauce that kicks you after. Even withthe sauce coating the chicken the crunch was still there. The loud crunch was the first thing I observed with the chicken andthat was from my husband taking that first bite. The chicken thigh was not a small piece either so eating one of the two chickenwas satisfying. The mac salad was different from others that I've had with a nice eggy flavor that I did not expect. I can seewhy others would get two scoops instead of rice, but that spicy garlic sauce on the rice was so good too. If I get to make thattrek back, I want to try the loco moco and bacon fried rice.

As other reviewers have mentioned prior...the CPC DOES NOT disappoint!!! The spicy flavor is just as good as the cpc flavor. ... The potato Mac salad is good. I've attached just the beginning and after of when I started to eat. Kind of curious of theother items on the menu. Will definitely come back after I recover from my food coma. Read more
One of the few legit places for proper Hawaiian poke on the mainland. Not all of them are good here, but it feels like at least... half of them are delicious and worth the trouble. Read more
