Parking can be a bit tricky, as indicated by the reviews, but you can find a few spots right in front, or even opt for street parking if you’re lucky. I recommend calling ahead to place your order so by the time you arrive, your meal is ready for pick-up, allowing you to indulge right when you crave it.
To truly appreciate what New Island BBQ has to offer, I suggest trying the BBQ Cheeseburger Deluxe. It's a nostalgic reminder of the simple joys of a good burger and fries, with an island twist. The Bento option is also a must-try, packed with an array of flavors for just $9.95.

Looking for a quick bite this is the place. Prices are good. Service is fast. Food is Ono - nothing to maaayjaaah but it's ONO & CHEAP!
Located in the Sand Island/Kalihi area. Take-out only spot. Super friendly service. Good food for an even better price. There's about two parking space out front. Best to call in your order if you know what you want. Or you can order through a window when you get there. Food is always tightly packed for easy transport.
Only thing I can say is salt and pepper chicken is hammah with side stuffed bittermelon.
Awesome food! I recommend the Salt and Pepper chicken and their Gon Lo Mein. Hannah is the owner her husband and Hannah work very hard to put out a quality product and their customer service is nothing short of excellent. They remember their regulars by name, even by the sound of their voice. They offer catering and party pans just be sure to order in advance.
Best choices and taste excellent. So many options for breakfast and lunch. Highly recommended if you're in sand island area
If you don't remember what a good old fashioned cheese burger and fries tastes like, come here and give the BBQ Cheeseburger Deluxe a try. A nice reminder of what happiness a little simplicity brings. The breakfast combos are a great deal too!
I was around the area and decided to stop in and check out the menu. Parking is very limited but street parking is available if lucky. Cashier was very nice and greeted me as I walked in. They had a very extensive menu that covered a wide variety. The Bento caught my eye which consist of furukaki rice, chicken katsu, slice of spam, teriyaki beef and mahi mahi with tartar sauce all for $9.95 which included tax. Everything was good but my favorite of all was the Mahimahi. The Teriyaki Beef was marinated to perfection, not to sweet not to tart. I also picked up a drink Raspberry Tea Snapple. The place looks a little run down, but I guess it gives it a more comfortable relaxing atmosphere. For the price I think is worth it.
