"WOW. We had a long day of travel and realised we were starving. I was wanting BBQ but saw mahi mahi on the menu. We don't have this in Australia. It came with rice, mac salad and garden salad with a sauce, we chose passionfruit mayo. The meal was the perfect portion and super nice. The sauce was amazing. Service was quick and the outdoor seating adds to the atmosphere. Might have to come and try something else while we are here. Only issue was they didn't take cash."

"With all the different types of fried chicken places, it’s hard to find one that’s different and unique. I came to try their fried chicken sandwich and wow! This thing is massive, delicious and constructed really well. The chicken is so big, it makes the bun look like a mini slider bun. The chicken was crispy and moist and very well seasoned. I love that the sandwich had a pickled daikon (takuan) on it to give it a twist to the traditional pickle and the fries were nice and crispy. I also got the loaded fries with chicken and again yum! The fries came loaded with queso, pickled jalapeños and the crispy fried chicken. Again everything fried to perfection! My only complaint is I wasn’t a really big fan of the queso flavoring (but that’s just a personal preference thing) . Otherwise would definitely come back if I’m in the area !"

"Ordered the teriyaki chicken on rice here tonight, 10/10! Absolutely delicious. Fries were delicious also. They gave us the fries as courtesy as they were closing for the evening but it may have been our fault as our son changed his mind on what to order. All looked great on the menu, he couldn't decide. He was thrilled with his choice. Highly recommend this place!"

"We were invited to eat some chicken at Waikiki Chicken in Paradise. We had the Fried Chicken Loco Moco and the Loaded Fries with Chicken. First of all, you can’t beat the Loco Moco! Just to improve on this, they use Fried Chicken instead of Hamburger in it. What I really mean is that Fried Chicken, Eggs and Rice is a great combination. You can’t go wrong. Next, we had Loaded Fries with Chicken was cooked to perfection. The chicken and fries were nice and golden! To top it of there are a wide variety of dipping sauces such as Guava BBQ, Lilikoi, Spicy Mayo, and Ranch. But my favor was Pineapple and Ginger sauce. Don’t sleep on that guy. The service was fast, and the staff was friendly. If you have a chance and you’re in Waikiki, I highly recommend this place as a grab and go!"

"I got this meal from Waikiki Chicken in Paradise serves a delightful fusion of flavors with their fried chicken and curry dish. The fried chicken is perfectly crispy, seasoned to perfection, and incredibly juicy. Paired with a rich, aromatic curry that has just the right amount of spice, the generous portions make it great for sharing.Highly recommend for the kids meal also."

"I got the loco moco fried chicken plate. The salad was tasty; the chicken was crispy outside and soft inside; the egg was perfect. Our food came in a reasonable amount of time. The gravy was amazing."

"I've been here before, I really like their chicken but yesterday, for some reason I felt like the chicken batter was hard, not what it use to. The last time I was here the fried chicken was tasty and crunchy but not hard. It was really good. Hope they change it back how they used to batter and fry. I'll be back to check them out again."
