Review

My son and I stopped into NIU Hawaiian BBQ and left stuffed, happy, and already thinking about when we’ll be back. The vibe inside is simple but inviting with island touches, beach mural, bamboo accents just enough to give you that Hawaiian escape without needing a plane ticket.

Now let’s talk food:
We ordered the Spam Musubi and the BBQ Mix Plate both were absolute winners. The musubi was wrapped perfectly, with just the right balance of rice, spam, and sauce. A perfect starter.

The BBQ Mix Plate was no joke. It came LOADED with a mountain of beef, ribs, and chicken all grilled to smoky perfection. The ribs had that beautiful char that gives you a little crisp on the outside while staying tender inside. The chicken was juicy and flavorful, and the beef was seasoned spot-on.

And yes the cold macaroni salad? Honestly hit the spot. Creamy, chilled, and the perfect contrast to all the hot grilled goodness.

Portion sizes? Let’s just say you better come hungry or plan on taking some home. This is a solid spot for anyone craving big flavors, generous portions, and a little slice of the islands right here on the mainland.
