Reviews for Big Kahuna Hawaiian BBQ in Lexington, KY
Traveling through Lexington during vacation and wanted to try someplace new. This restaurant came up on Google map search,... decided to try it. Great find!! If you're in the mood for something a little different, give them a try. The pulled pork istraditional but their sauce is unique and the platter comes with sticky rice. They have other meat options too. Read more
Insanely good. Katsu pork is too good for words but I?ll try. The breading was perfectly crisp and the pork juicy and cooked to... perfection. The sauces on the pork and sticky rice are great as well. Go ahead and ask for extra sauce as you?ll need it foryour second layer of pork. The macaroni salad is delicious and creamy. The pulled pork is great as well. Without sauce it iswonderful and then you add their sauce and it is another level. Read more
Delicious, packed full of flavor. I got the tofu plate and the tofu was perfectly seasoned and blackened, then topped with... grilled pineapple. The Mac salad reminded me of my mom's and was delicious. Got the Hawaiian fries which were crispy andflavorful, I found them a bit salty but there fries smothered in sauce so I just added a bit more sweet to balance them for mypalate. Overall I'd definitely come back next time I'm in the Lexington area. Read more
We came for lunch on a Sunday it was low key was not too busy and actually much cuter inside than the outside has you believing.... The staff greeted us warmly and helped us decide on food. The food came out quickly. We took it to go only because the stoolswere very uncomfortable but that is our only complaint. We both had the Katsu pork plates. Everything made to order and perfect.Will absolutely be back. Read more
Definitely a must try restaurant! I got the Katsu sandwich and was surprised with the amazing Asian flavor. I also had the... macaroni salad, which usually I am not a fan of, but it was delicious. They don't have a lot of seating so be sure to beat thelunch/dinner rush. Read more
The Katsu was absolutely delicious. The Pulled Pork was succulent and perfectly seasoned. The sticky rice tasted amazing with... the sauce. The macaroni salad was just alright with a tangy flavor. The Big Kahuna Burger was a total disappointment with aninstitutional patty reminiscent of a hospital or school cafeteria with a pineapple ring and some bacon as you can see from thepicture. The food was served quickly after we ordered. Overall this was a great value and we will definitely return for theKatsu and recommend this restaurant to others. Read more
We passed by the place on our drive and we were surprised that a Hawaiian restaurant existed in Lexington. We made it our... mission to come back enough though it looked sketchy from the outside and even from the back entrance. They have great food!Absolutely delicious and the portions are generous for the price. Their musubi was a little plain, I usually have it with moreglaze on the rice. The inside is very cute and aesthetic. The cashier/waitress was super friendly and nice. We?ll definitelycome back! Read more
Someone told us that we had to try this place out. So we decided that we were going to check it out to see how it was. The... parking is a bit tight. That is the very 1st thing that I noticed upon arriving to this restaurant. Thankfully, there wasn't alot of people inside. There is another lot available for parking which is Just about 10 to 25 feet away from therestaurant. When entering from the front or the back you have to walk up a flight of stairs.. I wouldn't say this is wheelchairaccessible. Upon entering it is a smaller restaurant. There's approximately 6-7 tables with bar stools up to them. The staff isextremely nice, welcoming and helpful. She Offered some suggestions based on the Popularity. I took her up on one of thesuggestions, which was the pulled pork I was not disappointed. My boyfriend tried the Kaula Burger and he wasn't pleased withit. Needless to say he didn't leave hungry because I shared my food with him, due to them giving you Great portions. WE WILLDEFINITELY BE RETURNING!! Read more
