Chief's Huli-Huli BBQ Reviews

Boy oh boy where to start first, the wait time was outrageous half hour from order to pick up for just a scoop of Mac, two scoop of rice, about 6 shrimp and a scoop of pulled pork. Then everything was SUPER greasy, not to mention the pulled pork was overly salty and full of fake liquid smoke or powdered Hawaiian pork seasoning. Nothing compared to when I was on the island at all. AND it was $25!!!

The lady working the trucked seemed really chill. The food was amazing!!! Price wasn’t too bad because they give you a decent amount of food. I wish I took a picture but it looked soo good I ate it before I got the chance lol. Huli Huli chicken with pineapple chicken, white rice and Mac salad. Amazing.

I get that it is a good truck but if you’re not going to fill delivery orders then take your truck off the delivery apps. Tried ordering multiple times just for orders to get canceled every time

Sorry to hear about this but, can you tell me what time of the day and with which online company did you used. This will help me find your problem and see this will never happen again.

Wow! Best Hawaiian local food I've had in Houston ever!!! It took me 2 years to be in this area at the right time. I feel like I need to move closer. 😕

Please don’t ever go away. I will seriously mourn if you do. You’re the best thing that ever happened to Uber Eats in this area. The food is SPECTACULAR!!!

"Denise, you just made our entire week! We aren't going anywhere as long as we have customers as wonderful as you supporting us. Knowing our food brings you that much joy is exactly why we do what we do. Thank you for the incredible love!"

The food was absolutely amazing! I ordered the big island trio with the short ribs, teriyaki beef, and huli huli chicken and it was so good. The Mac salad was also my favorite, I wish they did more scoops of it in the plate. My only complaint would be that the spam to rice ratio in the musubi was so disappointing, the spam was extremely thin :( other than that, I’ll be eating here again!

Aloha Moeaki, Thank you so much for the love and for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review! 🙏 We’re thrilled you enjoyed the Big Island Trio and that the mac salad was a hit (noted on the extra scoops 😉).

Aloha We really appreciate the honest feedback about the musubi — we’re sorry it missed the mark for you. We’ll definitely be sharing that with our team, because we want every bite to be just as satisfying as the rest of your meal.

Thanks again for supporting us, and we can’t wait to have you back eating with us soon! 🌺

They had the best chicken katsu in the area. I’m so sad they moved so far away!

I paid nearly $30 and waited at least 30 minutes for incredible nasty AND lukewarm food. Honestly, it was awful.

Nice staff, nice atmosphere, additional parking in the rear of food trailer park, on weekends there are cones set up to guide you... Huli huli opens at 3pm weekdays and noon on weekends

Wanted to give them a chance and try them out. I try ordering a plate but they said they were out of fried rice, didn’t give me an option, just wish me out of luck. Why are you out of rice if 99% of your plates have rice. This was still early in the afternoon on what seems to me a slow day for them.

Ordered on door dash- I can’t say enough good things about this place. The food is the best Hawaiian barbecue I’ve had in Houston. Authentic flavors and perfectly grilled meat. The mac salad is perfection- such an underrated spot. I would highly recommend the Kalbi (Korean marinated beef ribs) and Huli huli chicken (perfectly seasoned grilled chicken)

Everything tasted fresh besides the chicken. The chicken was cold, dry, and had no seasoning.

Zero stars. Not at this location. Unable to locate and despite what the owner says. They don’t answer the phone for orders.

Just ordered one order of Lumpia. They forgot about the order. Had to wait additional time. They did not even try to compensate for the oversight
