So, I read y'all reviews. I went for it. Worth it. Ordered the kalbi short rib plate with Mac/greens/rice and a side of beef rib. This is what I would recommend people. The plates are around $20, and the extra rib (totally worth it) was an extra $3 and change. Get and stuff your face. Thank goodness I put my order for pick up because when I got there, a line of like people was already in play. Plus I saw a few more people come thru after my pick up. The place is definitely a small mom and pop tucked in a corner of a small shopping center and with tables from back in the day. Nothing extra ordinary with the service but I was not there long enough to really asses. I walked to the front of the line and a nice lady asked me my name and handed me my food. The food: Kalbi short ribs DO NOT DISAPPOINT. Freaking tender, meaty and perfectly marinated and moist. Beef Rib please read previous assessment of the kalbi, same for this. Big ol'beef ribs given. 5+ stars. The macaroni salad, I did not mind. I think they really review what people say cause I found it pretty good. I still prefer Ono Hawaiian Mac salad, but this one was not bad. It's Mac and potato by the way. The rice, was well cooked, not sticky as I had read in previous reviews and not dry. Again pretty decent. The green salad, a little wilted, but still enjoyable. Lightly dressed with I'm guessing their shoyu dressing which I enjoyed. Bruh, come and eat the ribs tho. They are finger-lickin, slap-yo-momma good. And the portions make it worth the $20+.

Matiki Island BBQ stands out as one of the best Hawaiian restaurants I've ever visited. Their Beef Ribs BBQ is absolutely to die for, perfectly tender, and bursting with flavor. The Mac Salad is another highlight, boasting a creamy, delicious taste that complements the BBQ dishes beautifully. If you're in the mood for authentic Hawaiian cuisine, Matiki Island BBQ is the place to go. Highly recommended!

Probably one of the best Hawaiian spots I've ate at. The food is set at a good price and is really really good. The atmosphere is well lit. Also with the newly upgraded vents to keep the smoke out is definitely a great addition. Everything is really kept up and clean. The workers in there are also really nice and super helpful.

This place has been on my bookmarks for a while and glad I finally tried it! I ordered the Sam's Beef Rib plate with rice and mac salad ($16.75), I also tried their Galbi and Chicken plate ($17.75). I thought the galbi and beef ribs were delicious! Full of flavor and had a nice bbq char taste to it! The ribs were a little too charred for my liking but it was still delicious! The mac salad is a must try to! I thought their chicken was just decent, nothing too special, you will need to squeeze on that teriyaki sauce they have on that chicken, but overall I enjoyed everything!

Favorite Hawaiian bbq store in the area. The meats are fire. I got the beef and chicken combo with double mac salad with a side of beef rib. The beef rib is my all time favorite, and a side dish comes with one rib but they gave me 2 pieces. The unique thing is that you can taste the fire on the charring of all there meats. The beef and chicken combo was also great. The beef was a little dry but the chicken was still juicy and flavorful.

Wow this was surprisingly good food!!! Located on Lincoln (cross street is Beach Blvd) the restaurant is tucked into a strip mall so pay attention as you approach. Walked in and was greeted by a friendly lady at the counter who helped me make my choices. I decided on the big kahuna family meal and a beef rib plate. Big kahuna - 5 stars. I couldn't tell by looking at the pictures, but this can feed 3 adults or 2 adults/2 children easy. The chicken, beef, and especially the short rib was delicious, and there was plenty of food to go around. I found myself wanting more of the macaroni salad and less rice, but it was all good. At $39 this is a solid deal and I would definitely order this again. Beef rib plate -- 3-4 stars. If you are a fan of beef ribs then this plate is for you. You get 4 ribs, Mac salad and rice, and portion wise, this is a good deal for the price. For me I thought the ribs were a little too fatty for me, but if you are a fan, this is for you. The meat just fell off the bone, and there was a delicious smoke flavor to the meat. I am looking forward to going back to MI bbq. I definitely want to try a short rib plate, and will definitely get the family big Kahuna meal asap. 12

The chicken and beef rice bowl was just the right amount for me. The beef and chicken were slightly dry. However, the sauce that was given made up for it. I love that sauce. The macaroni salad was more mustard base than mayo based. So beware when you get the macaroni salad. The restaurant was clean, had plenty of tables, and parking was relatively easy. The service was quick and the cashier was friendly! FYI order over the phone as the price is different when compared to ordering online!

There was plenty of parking in this lot and tables inside to eat. We came on a weekend for lunch and it wasn't packed. We got our food fairly quick as well. Each plate came with rice and macaroni salad. You can also swap out the rice with extra mac. I wasn't a big fan of the mac salad, it was lacking in flavor. Short Rib (Kalbi) Plate- Very flavorful! The meat was tender and wasn't hard to chew either. Definitely shareable with another person. Beef Rib- The bones were huge and the meat just slid right off! I will say some of the bones didn't have too much meat on it. However, the meat was soft to chew and very flavorful. I paired every bite with rice.
