"This was a spur-of-the-moment stop to get some quick grub before an evening at Glen Ivy. Didn't bother to check reviews (which I normally do beforehand) since we really just wanted to get a cheap bite to eat. I've seen Maui Hawaii Barbeque many times before, as it sits near my bank. This was my first time here and honestly, it wasn't bad. Reading all the bad reviews kind of made my stomach churn just a little, but most seem to complain about the timing of the food coming out. I concur. The place is dated and could use a good re-vamp to spice it up. I ordered the Fish Sandwich, and a Pineapple Smoothie with Boba. My friend ordered a Teriyaki Chicken Bowl before me and it came out within about 5 minutes. For whatever reason, my Fish Sandwich took a good while to come out. I must have gone up to the counter at least twice and it still wasn't ready. There was one other party seated and already halfway done with their meal, so I was baffled at how long it was taking. There was only one cook from what I could see, and he seemed to be taking his time. The petite lady who ran the register was nice. When my sandwich was finally ready, she brought it out to me on a tray, along with my smoothie. The sandwich itself was pretty damn good if I must say so myself! The fish was nice and hot, and it was a very good size. The smoothie was not the best I've had, as it really just tasted like a bunch of frozen pineapple chunks were blended together with ice and poured into a cup of boba. Bland and blah, but I was not expecting it to taste great coming from a place that specializes in Hawaiian fast food. Ended up ordering another Fish Sandwich for a friend who was running late, and came to join us. Funny that her sandwich came to us in about 5 minutes, compared to my wait of about 15 or so. She had no complaints either. Overall it's a solid 3.5 stars for me. Good customer service, and easily accessible near the 15 freeway with an open parking lot. If I had to come again, I would, but I'd hope the cook steps up his game. Maybe he was in chill mode since it was a Sunday afternoon, but we were in a little bit of a time crunch. Other than that, the food is good but some of the prices are high imo. $6.39 for an order of 2 Spam Musubi??? You can buy a can for around $5 or less and have at least 8! Oh, and if you need to use the restroom, you have to ask for the key which is attached to a spaghetti ladle! Don't lose it, lol!"
