AHI Hawaiian BBQ | Our Story

Island-style aloha served across Southern California
AHI Hawaiian BBQ brings the spirit of island-style cooking to Southern California — generous plates, genuine warmth, and a menu that gives you plenty to explore. From Costa Mesa to Lawndale, it's Hawaiian comfort food close to home.
A menu built for island favorites
AHI's menu stretches well beyond the BBQ in the name — chicken katsu, short ribs, BBQ beef, mahi mahi, crispy shrimp, and musubi all share space on one generous list. There's genuinely a lot to work through, and most guests keep coming back to try what they missed.

The musubi and the little extras
The musubi sampler is one of those menu items that quietly becomes a regular order — a simple, satisfying way to try several Hawaiian-style favorites in a single tray.

Plates that deliver real value
Guests consistently describe food that arrives fast and piled high — weekday lunch or weekend dinner, the portions hold up. The team behind the counter keeps the energy friendly even when things get busy, and regulars tend to notice.
Four neighborhoods, one menu
AHI has put down roots in Costa Mesa, Anaheim, Long Beach, and Lawndale — neighborhoods spread across Southern California that each get the same island-style experience. Take out, pick up, or order delivery — wherever it's most convenient.
