Fatboy's Hawaii Kai - Niu

I would not recommend coming here for local food. Since the renovation, Fatboy's Hawaii Kai has jacked their prices up SKY HIGH.For context, I've grown up on the island all my life. My favorite item was the haleiwa bowl (kalua pig, garlic chicken, poke, kim chee, and rice all in one bowl). As recently as early 2023, the price for that? $12.99 or roughly $13.60 with tax.Now, in early 2024, it's 22 dollars, or roughly $23 with tax. That's an increase of ~70%! Most entrees are now easily $20+ when they were $10-$14 before.In addition, they make it absolutely clear that if take out, you MUST eat it outside, which is a change from the previous casual atmosphere they had. To be fair, they did change their business model to a more formal diner style. There are still some green picnic tables out there that you can eat at.To their credit, the portion sizes still look pretty big.However, these prices are just straight up unaffordable, and are alienating to the local customers who have been eating here for years (and in my parent's case, decades). I went a few days ago and all the clientele were tourists, which speaks volumes about who exactly is showing up to eat here and what locals think about this place. I very much understand that the restaurant is in Hawaii Kai (a wealthy area), and that the store just had a renovation. But to jack up your prices by almost SEVENTY PERCENT more than what you used to charge? That's ridiculous. Again, I totally understand they've changed their business model to target a wealthier clientele, but this is just disrespectful to folks who have been eating here for years.I've been warning my local friends to stay away. You should too.

This place was a MUST after snorkeling in Hanauma Bay. The garlic soy chicken, the loco moco, and the strawberry mango smoothie hit the spot! The chicken was SO crispy omg, and bonus, they had crispy chicken skin tossed in there! The staff is nice, the place is clean! Don’t be the person to just go there for a grilled cheese. Get the loco moco or the crispy garlic chicken plate lunch. You will not be disappointed. Get a smoothie to cool off, I wanted 3 more lol.Parking: Big free parking lotKid-friendliness: Kid friendly options like the keiki meal, and standard grilled cheese and tater tots combosWheelchair accessibility: Wide open doors for accessibility, ground floor place

The crispiest, tastiest garlic chicken ever. Undeniably one of the best I've ever had. Portions were huge, service was so kind and incredibly quick (party size of 6). Great place to stop after completing Koko head.

Is place is amazing. Prices are good and food is even better. I've had the Poki bowl and chicken garlic.

Everything I ordered was conveniently out!!! A party member that was with us asked for a spoon The server said they have no spoons, then bought a spoon after they herd us talk about them not having a lot of items… wouldn’t recommend this place, very limited items.??
