Thank you Maria and the entire Lava Pit crew for making my company event a hit! The quality of the food was amazing, and the quantity was way more than I expected. We will be using you for many more events in the future. Thanks again!

I enjoy their teriyaki chicken plate with brown rice and salad. Each order is prepared after it is ordered, so it is consistently fresh. The same crew has been working there for a while, so the service is good as well.

We’ve been coming here for a while now because they serve decent, affordable and quick hawaiian bbq. This last trip though was pretty terrible, service wise. The lone server cum cashier was so unfriendly, bordering on rudeness that I almost lost my cool. From the minute we walked in the empty restaurant, she was carrying this major attitude, not even bothering to greet us or say any plesantries while taking our orders. And when we tried to have the Kahlua pork replaced because it was terribly SALTY, she was so surly about the whole thing. I’m giving 2 stars as courtesy to all those other times we’ve been here and it wasn’t unpleasant.

Meat didn’t taste like fresh bbq and was a little cold. Rice was old (had some dried out kernels). Service was nice enough.

Good Hawaiian-style BBQ. The katsu items are panko crusted perfection. Combos come with salad and rice. Zero atmosphere. A bit pricey.
