there are a number of hawaiian food joints in and around pasadena and the sgv, and i must say, hawaiian bbq on fair oaks is my first pick! their chicken katsu is all white meat and very crispy, never soggy, and the mac salad is the right proportion of creamy and a little spicy. other places often have soggy, chewy katsu and flavor-less or worse, too much mayo in their mac salad. i consider hawaiian bbq my comfort food spot and routinely stop there on my way home from work. service is always quick and polite, too.
