Really good food. I work for amazon so time is limited for lunch and they brought out my delicious plate in 15 minutes exactly just like the lady said it would. Much better than l&l bbq and ono Hawaiian bbq. Huge portions. Friendly also.

Had a baby shower last weekend and order from William BBQ in San Carlos. The food was a hit at the party. I ordered the bbq chicken, Wagyu beef, fried fish, broccoli, and macaroni salad. I love their their macaroni salad that had some Coleslaw mixed in. The food portions were big and we were able to take some home. They also delivered to the house since I bought a certain amount. Came with condiments (teriyaki, fish sauce, hot sauce, and ketchup). I highly recommend them. Will certainly order from William BBQ again. Great friendly service!

Fantastic hole in the wall Hawaiian BBQ. Definitely worth checking out. My BBQ chicken and Katsu Chicken combo was great. Interesting Hot Wheels collection on the wall.

Food was great you can tell they put a lot of love in it. Make sure you ask them to try the BBQ with the “secret” salsa macha

Convenient, good tasting catering options for at-home small parties. We appreciated the delivery as well. Thank you!

We LOVE this place - it's the closest to a 'plate lunch' and portions are great. Bbq chicken, katsu chicken, short rib & wagyu beef are what we keep ordering in different combos. If you have a small gathering, consider using their catering for the main dish and at least 1 side. We ordered bbq chicken & mac salad for 7 people (instead of ordering separate meals) - it was hit! Yes, I could have made both, but for the price, got to relax and visit instead!!! You need to either call or go in (we used San Carlos location) to see the catering menu- they don't have it on the website yet. We ordered at 1pm & they had it ready by our 3pm pickup time. All of the staff are friendly- they are working the hot grill, but will still share a smile!

**Hidden Hawaiian BBQ Gem – William BBQ** I stumbled upon William BBQ and what a delightful find! This hidden Hawaiian BBQ gem is a must-visit. I went for lunch and ordered the BBQ Wagyu Beef and Chicken Katsu combo. Both were cooked to perfection—flavorful, tender, and absolutely satisfying. I also requested extra broccoli with my meal, and they delivered! It was fresh, well-cooked, and complemented the main dishes perfectly. The portions were generous, and the service was friendly and attentive. If you’re in the mood for Hawaiian BBQ with top-notch ingredients and great flavors, don’t miss this spot. I’ll definitely be coming back for more!

Nice and warm family business. Great value for Hawaiian BBQ. Not the most healthy choice but I love it. Quality is very consistent.

Super massive portions, delicious food, very sweet family running the restaurant. You can really tell how much love and care they put into their food and service. We had the BBQ chicken, chicken katsu, and ribs. I think all were delicious and the Mac salad was not too sweet. I appreciated all the sauce options as well. Please support you will not be disappointed!

Walked in not expecting much but was greeted lovingly by a sweet family running shop by themselves. They seemed delighted that we were eating In and the small homey setting really felt like they inviting us to sit at their table. The spam masubi was incredible, served fresh, with a sweet sauce, and a little touch of pork sung in there made all the difference. I got the wagyu beef with egg meal. It also came with that signature sauce and the meat was perfectly seasoned and tender. As we left, packing up the leftovers off the heaping plates of food, the father ran out to give us some extra sauce and make sure we didn’t leave without knowing how much we were appreciated. The incredible food and the family’s hospitality truly made it feel like I was eating a home cooked meal with my grandparents and I would love to come back and support them more!

Wow this place is amazing. If you’re thinking about it or looking for a great spot, don’t look any further—this is the right spot. Also, somehow the best Mac salad I’ve had anywhere in USA or Hawaii. Props to these folks.

No frills, large portions! PBS kids was playing on a TV in the corner so our kids were entranced and we had a very quiet dinner. Most people get takeout from here but it was convenient enough for our family of 5 to dine in.

Decent food but the chicken was very saucy and peppery, not exactly what I expected. I also got a single piece of broccoli which was weird, but I stole from someone else and it was good. Didn't really dig the mac salad. I think I'll come back and order something else.

The short ribs had to much sauce on them to see if the ribs had seasoning on them. The Mac + Slaw+ 1 literal piece of broccoli this restaurant excels at with flavor. First off they gave 1 literal piece of broccoli, the piece was good and I think grilled but they gave only 1 soo that was a turn off to want to order from here again. I'd order the the sides for sure if I did order again but the short ribs I've had way better and made way better without a sauce to save them to taste good.

Ordered for takeout. The bbq chicken was overcooked and the bbq beef very fatty. Grilled onions were perfect. The Cole slaw mac salad was delicious and the best part. Great service and made quickly.

Super disappointing. Awaited 20+ minutes for a chicken BBQ mix. The BBQ chicken tastes boiled with bottled teriyaki sauce and the katsu chicken seams airfried.
