Was pleasantly surprised to find that this was only about a 3 minutes drive from me. Inside, it was bustling - by the time we had taken our order, we were 9th in line! Our food came out relatively quickly, but I was shocked to see the constant foot traffic to the restaurant. I ordered the Sam's Plate and a spam musubi as a treat. When I tell you, the meat was practically falling off the bone. It was tasty, and of course, very messy - bring wipes! I will say that the portion size was good (two scoops of rice, one of mac salad/greens, and then ribs), but the meat was a bit on the fatty side for my taste. There are also different options of meat if you're not feeling something so heavy. I took the spam musubi for the road:) but it was a nice snack later.

Matiki always hits the spot!! Me and my family come here at least once a week and are always greeted by smiles and AMAZING smells. The food is fresh, "healthy", and is the closest to home style food you can get. I have tried other Hawaiian food locations and none compare to the quality Matiki offers. If you ever find yourself in the Anaheim area, this is definitely a must try!

This place is fire!!! I kid you not these ribs are magical. The flavor on these ribs are amazing. The ribs weren't burnt and had a nice char to them. It was a perfect heavy plate for me. I got 2 scoops of rice and 1 Mac. If I'm in Anaheim I'm definitely comming back

The place has the best BBQ can't go wrong with the rib plate or short rib plate both are really good. And the rib sause my God it is the best on the ribs or any meat they have on the menu. So if you're a big fan of LL BBQ or other island BBQ places come to this place you will love it here. And get the pork Buns when available trust me

It's a cute little hole in the wall. Better than any fast food establishment, but not lacking on flavor. Meal is $18 including tax. Family ran business, everyone seems so happy and helpful. I would come back and bring the rest of my ohana.

So, I read y'all reviews. I went for it. Worth it. Ordered the kalbi short rib plate with Mac/greens/rice and a side of beef rib. This is what I would recommend people. The plates are around $20, and the extra rib (totally worth it) was an extra $3 and change. Get and stuff your face. Thank goodness I put my order for pick up because when I got there, a line of like people was already in play. Plus I saw a few more people come thru after my pick up. The place is definitely a small mom and pop tucked in a corner of a small shopping center and with tables from back in the day. Nothing extra ordinary with the service but I was not there long enough to really asses. I walked to the front of the line and a nice lady asked me my name and handed me my food. The food: Kalbi short ribs DO NOT DISAPPOINT. Freaking tender, meaty and perfectly marinated and moist. Beef Rib please read previous assessment of the kalbi, same for this. Big ol'beef ribs given. 5+ stars. The macaroni salad, I did not mind. I think they really review what people say cause I found it pretty good. I still prefer Ono Hawaiian Mac salad, but this one was not bad. It's Mac and potato by the way. The rice, was well cooked, not sticky as I had read in previous reviews and not dry. Again pretty decent. The green salad, a little wilted, but still enjoyable. Lightly dressed with I'm guessing their shoyu dressing which I enjoyed. Bruh, come and eat the ribs tho. They are finger-lickin, slap-yo-momma good. And the portions make it worth the $20+.
