808 Local Hawaiian offers some of the best authentic Hawaiian BBQ I have ever tried. I ordered the Ani platter - beef rib, kalua pork, BBQ chicken, rice and mac salad. The pork and rib were both excellent, popping with flavor. However, the BBQ was the star of the show. Cooked directly over an open flame, you could taste the char beautifully, and the chew was amazing. We also ordered the hot dog and egg musubi, which was also delectable. My partner ordered the poke plate, and though still very good, both marinades were on the sweeter side and the fish had a decent bit of membrane to chew through. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant to anyone on the hunt for a hearty and delicious meal in Anaheim. We will be back!

Nice hole in the wall spot with excellent food. Be prepared to wait as it’s a small team and everything is made to order fresh. Some of the best musubi’s I’ve had in socal. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a new lunch spot!
Some of the best Hawaiian food I’ve had in the area. Not only is the food unreal but the amount of fish they give you for such a good price is insane. Any other poke place would give you a fraction of the food for the same price. Can’t wait to keep coming here
I got the beef kalbi. It was more on the chewy side. I think they have better options here than what I picked. The spinach salad was good, the dressing on it was delicious. And the rice and greens were very fresh. I’d come back just try other stuff on their menu. Good price and service.
After seeing this place on grun with Greg's Facebook, I decided to try it. I got the loco moco plate, island beef rib plate and the 2 for $5 teriyaki spam masubi. I enjoyed the masubi. It was pretty flavorful and well made. The island beef run was also very delicious. For the price and for 3 beef ribs, it was well worth it. The loco moco plate was also good but unfortunately there was no gravy. So I docked my review by 1 star. Loco moco isn't loco moco without gravy. Other than that, I recommend this place. Don't order online, it's $4 more online. Just order in person or see if you can call in an order.
This place is very delicious. The meat is always tender and flavorful. The beef ribs had plenty of meat and the chicken was perfect. I even like the Mac salad. It tasted really good. The service was great. I’ve actually been twice and plan on going again.
