Got takeout from Mahalo tonight and it was amazing. I got the BBQ mix plate, such a great combination. Huge portion, nicely packaged. The pasta salad was sooo delicious. My new go to place for takeout!
I love this restaurant. We order from Mahalo routinely and it’s always delicious and cooked to perfection. I love the chicken katsu and the BBQ chicken, but everything is very good. Support this local business and try something new!
AWESOME Hawaiian BBQ! The platters are massive and you can get a combo of anything you want. We loved everything!
I have been consistently going to mahalo ever since they opened, and every time they deliver delicious food with mighty portions that I can easily eat for two meals. The bbq mix and chicken combo are items that I highly recommend that you can’t go wrong with, and don’t forget to pair it with an Hawaiian Sun (Green Tea Lychee is the perfect flavor). The service is amazing and friendly and I honesty wish nothing but growing success for this family business.
Finally tried out Mahalo Hawaiian BBQ for lunch. We got the ‘mini meals’ which still had a TON of food. The Chicken katsu was deliciously crispy and I loved the sauce. My husband really liked the fried fish. The spam musubi was a great addition to the meal as well. We can’t wait to try other dishes soon!
Restaurant was small with 4-5 tables. Food was good and it was ready quickly. Would definitely go there again to try something new. We ate the beef short ribs and poco moco. Leftovers were still excellent. The Hawaiian soda were sweet.
Mahalo is a welcome addition to the Philly Food Scene. Like Hawaii itself, Mahalo offers laid back, simple yet amazingly tasty food that you truly enjoy. I brought a friend and between the Kalua Pork and BBQ Chicken Combo Meal, the BBQ Short Ribs, the BBQ Beef and the can of nostalgia that I had (Hawaiian Sun Fruit Punch), I was brought back to those simple comforting meals I'd had years ago on Kauai. (BTW the Macaroni Salad was "just right..." not too sweet like some places. My compliments to the friendly staff and especially the chef! Mahalo (thanks) is DEFINITELY the word I want to use!
Finally, Hawaiian food in Philly! Taste: 4/5, Value: 4/5, Service 4/5 We have been craving Hawaiian food since we came back from a trip there this summer. The place is small with a few tables. You order with a kiosk which was convenient. We got the Kahlua pork and katsu curry (with curry on the side). The Kahlua pork was a little dry, but had a lot of delicious juices. The katsu was the highlight and was crispy and juicy with very large portions. The curry was rich and flavorful. The mac salad was also very fresh and yummy. The spam musubi was a little bland and the seaweed was slightly chewy but it was still tasty.
Had a huge craving for Hawaiian food one day which was what led me to Mahalo Hawaiian BBQ. The first time we came we ordered a chicken katsu mini meal and a garlic shrimp platter. The mini meal is such a perfect sized portion compared to the regular platter which was all pretty hefty. The katsu was very delicious, tender chicken but super crispy breading. It paired well with rice and of course the classic Hawaiian Mac. I was a bit disappointed with the garlic shrimp though. If you've ever been to Hawaii and had to chance to order it from one of their popular food truck, then you know. The shrimp was lacking a lot of flavor. Overall, this place is pretty solid. I would definitely go back to try other items on their menu or even to get the katsu chicken again
Big portions, lovely staff, and incredible food... what more could you ask for? I absolutely LOVED this place and can't wait to be back! Everything we ordered was incredible and the place was extremely busy with tons of people coming in and out and online orders. Everything is made to order and I especially liked their Chicken Katsu with Curry because the katsu remained perfectly crispy despite being drenched with the amazing curry. We also tried their spam musubis which are also a 10/10 because the sauce coating the spam wasn't too salty. The BBQ Mix Plate is perfect for those who can't decide between beef or chicken and the Loco Moco was incredible with thick beef patties and an insane gravy. They also have so many Hawaiian Sun flavors available which is an extra plus to go with your meal!
