" PandaBento has made a great impression on me! I tried their teriyaki chicken, and it was cooked just right. The portions are generous, and I love the family-style options too. The service is always friendly, although it can get busy. The setting is cozy, which adds to the appeal of dining there. I would certainly come back next time I'm in town. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently catered from PandaBento for my son's birthday, and everything went smoothly. The food was a hit at the party! The BBQ chicken was flavorful, and the katsu was crispy, served with a lovely dipping sauce. I went in to pick up the order, and the staff was super helpful and friendly throughout. Portions were generous, with plenty leftover for the next day. I've tried various Hawaiian BBQ spots, and I can confidently say PandaBento offers some of the best quality! Highly recommend it for both dine-in and catering! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a mixed experience at PandaBento. The food was good, but my BBQ chicken was slightly burnt on the edges. I’m unsure if this was a one-time mistake, but the flavors were there—all it needed was a bit more attention to detail. The service was friendly, but there was a wait during peak hours. If you're not in a hurry, I'd say give it a try. Not the worst but also not my favorite BBQ joint. " (*Curated Review*)

" The Hawaiian BBQ at PandaBento is worth every star! I was thoroughly impressed with the quality and taste of everything I tried. The katsu chicken was crispy and delicious, and the BBQ beef was equally well-cooked. Prices are reasonable, and the portion sizes are great for sharing or enjoying alone. The staff is also very friendly with a nice touch—offering suggestions on what to order based on your tastes. I highly recommend it to anyone and will be returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" PandaBento never disappoints! I've been there for both lunch and dinner, and the quality of the food is consistently high. Their Hawaiian BBQ is the best I’ve had outside of Hawaii! The staff is very welcoming, and they cater to your dietary needs with great care. The shrimp fried rice has become my go-to dish every time. Don't skip dessert either—the shave ice is phenomenal! Will definitely continue returning here for my Hawaiian BBQ fix! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you are looking for a genuinely wonderful Hawaiian BBQ experience, I've found it! The place may not look fancy, but the food is where it's at! I had their grilled fish and a side of gyoza, and it was incredible. I really appreciated the authenticity and quality. The service was attentive, and I loved the friendly vibe of the staff. I'll definitely return for more, ideally trying out their entire menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" The chicken katsu is a must-have! So crispy and flavorful—it could easily compete with the best I've had in Hawaii. I ordered a combo plate and was pleased with the variety. They even have a unique take on macaroni salad that I enjoyed. The only downside was the limited seating; we had to wait a bit for a table. The staff was friendly and quick to serve. I would highly recommend checking this place out, especially if you love Hawaiian BBQ! " (*Curated Review*)
