Hawaiian King Bbq - Daly City

Hawaiian inspired plates of bbq meats, rice, and macaroni salad

Came during a weekday lunch, and got the Chicken combo, which came with half katsu chicken and half BBQ. Overall service was good and staff was friendly. The food is definitely a different story though. I was given two sauces, one of katsu sauce for the chicken and another sweet teriyaki tasting for the BBQ. I think it was definitely needed, because my BBQ chicken ended up being pretty dry and lacked flavor compared to what I’ve had from other Hawaiian offerings. The katsu was alright if not a little bit overdone, to where it tasted more like a cracker dipped in katsu sauce. Not my favorite, but might consider coming back on the right day.

They are fantastic such a great service and a prize I normally get white fish with rice and salad

Food was ok but the portion they give is less than generous compared to other Hawaiian places. I got the combo chicken plate and was given one bbq chicken breast cut into strip and same for the chicken katsu. They also added some veggies which was just boiled with no taste at all. However, I did like their BBQ sauce which was not overly sweet. I wouldn’t come back unless I am really craving for Hawaiian and it was the closest options.

FOOD POISONING YESTERDAY I STRONGLY SUSPECT FOOD POISONING FROM THIS ESTABLISHMENT. I ORDERED THE BARBECUE PLATE WITH RIBS BEEF AND CHICKEN AT ABOUT 5:30 IN THE AFTERNOON. THEN BECAME SICK AFTER MIDNIGHT. ABDOMINAL PAIN, VOMITING, DIARRHEA, AND FEVER. THOUGH I CANNOT YET CONFIRM SALMONELLA OR OTHER BACTERIA, I HAVE NOT BEEN TESTED YET, BUT I AM IN THE MEDICAL FIELD AND THOSE ARE TEXTBOOK SIGNS OF FOOD POISONING. ALSO DID NOT EAT AT ANY PLACE ELSE FOR 6 HOURS BEFORE EATING AT HAWAIIAN KING. STILL SICK TODAY WITH SYMPTOMS. I LET SAN MATEO COUNTY KNOW TO INVESTIGATE AND CONFIRM. THIS RESTAURANT HAS NO DIRECT NUMBER TO WARN STAFF.
