DQ Hawaiian BBQ is a local-owned restaurant bringing the warm flavors of the islands to Elk Grove. We serve up classic Hawaiian BBQ plates, crispy chicken katsu, juicy BBQ short ribs, and fan-favorit…
I seen ads for this place on Instagram. Decided to finally try it. This was VERY good. I wasn't expecting a pineapple on the Fish Sandwich I thought it was a yellow tomato first LOL but then the sweetness kicked in and it was a yummy twist. The price went along with the portion of food I got, I'd consider it very reasonable. Flavor of the Macaroni Salad was good too. I loved both items and look forward to trying more on the menu. Also the lady I spoke to on the phone was very kind. Thank you for the delicious meal DQ. :)

This is officially my favorite place to order Hawaiian BBQ from.
Look at this Loco Moco. Just look at it.
The moment I opened the container, that rich brown gravy was glistening, pooling perfectly over two thick hamburger patties and soaking into the rice underneath. It wasn’t watery. It wasn’t thin. It was smooth, glossy, and generous, the kind of gravy that hugs every bite. The eggs were cooked exactly how they should be, the whites fully set with those lightly golden, crispy edges, and the yolks soft and ready to melt into everything below. Once that yolk breaks and mixes with the gravy and rice? It’s over. That’s the bite right there. The patties weren’t dry. They weren’t burnt. They were thick, juicy, and seasoned perfectly. And the portion? Let’s just say they did not hold back.It was hot, fresh, and ready right on time for pickup. The young lady at the counter was friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. This wasn’t just food. This was comfort in a container. Five stars without hesitation.

I've tried other Hawaiian barbecue. This Hawaiian BBQ I liked the most. The only thing I wish was better was the lumpia. The flavor was great but they were soggy from being steamed up in that little bag. The chicken was amazing. Nice sear and great flavor. I also liked the macaroni salad a lot. I would definitely eat here again.
