" PandaBento exceeded my expectations. Not only was the food delightful, but the service was equally impressive. My family and I ordered a variety of dishes, and they all came out hot and freshly prepared. The short ribs had a smokey flavor that you just can’t find anywhere else. The staff was gracious, even adding a complimentary drink, which went a long way in making our meal special. The portion sizes were perfect for sharing amongst the family. I would highly recommend this restaurant for anyone in search of genuine Hawaiian comfort food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Good food, good service, but lacked a bit in authenticity. I had the BBQ chicken which was nice, but it tasted a bit commercial and not quite like the real deal you get in Hawaii. The prices were fair, and the portions big, so that balanced it out. The atmosphere could improve, as it feels more like a fast-food place. I'd recommend trying it but manage your expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" My partner and I had dinner at PandaBento, and we came away satisfied. The food was tasty, and they are generous with the portions. However, the atmosphere is quite casual and could use more decoration to give it a more Hawaiian vibe. The service was good, with the staff checking in on us but could have been more attentive during the busy hours. Overall, a good experience with potential for improvement! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a decent experience at PandaBento. The food was good, particularly the short ribs, although I found them a bit on the salty side. The macaroni salad was a hit with my family. Service was friendly but slightly slow during peak hours. The atmosphere is nothing fancy, just a cozy local spot, but it fits the vibe perfectly for a casual eat out. I would recommend it for anyone in the area looking for good Hawaiian BBQ, just be prepared for a little wait during busy times. " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm a frequent visitor at PandaBento, and I'm continuously impressed! Their teriyaki chicken is my favorite, perfectly glazed and grilled. The portions are generous, often leaving me with enough for lunch the following day. The service is consistently reliable; it's evident they prioritize customer satisfaction. Whether I dine-in or get takeout, the quality never wavers. I highly recommend this place for laid-back Hawaiian dining! " (*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*)
