The food here is really good. I love that they allow you to sub out regular side or rice for fried rice! Their fried rice with spam and vegetables is so good!I got the Zoe special plate and it was really good!Parking shared with other stores so is the bathroom.There is live performance there as well over the weekends!Would come back again! Everyone was friendly.

Visited Santa Maria for a softball tournament with my daughter. In between games the snack shack was super busy (and expensive) so we opted to check out a local restaurant. Found Zoes Hawaiian BBQ on Google maps with a decent amount of reviews and a pretty good rating.Both my daughter and I ordered Zoes Kalbi BBQ Short Rib plate. Each to-go box came with four two-boned slices of short rib along with two scoops of rice and a scoop of Mac salad. The short rib was flavorful and tender, not under cooked and not over cooked. The Mac salad was about what youd expect. Made for a nice quick lunch on the go in-between games. Price for each plate lunch was $13 and change plus tax. In my opinion not too bad for a short rib Hawaiian BBQ plate. All in all really tasty, fairly priced, and pretty quick service. If Im ever in the area again Id go back for sure.

Menu selection was definitely Hawaiian. Exactly why I drive 40min. Advance ordered the Laulau plate. Even got the Loco Moco to go for tomorrow’s lunch.

The staff was friendly and the food was really yummy! Good variety to try smaller portions of different types of food. Great place for take out or casual eating.

Zoes offers good value Hawaiian food and a friendly atmosphere! I highly recommend grabbing a bite and staying for the music.You can order a to-go box, or sit down for meal (which I recommend doing at least once.)The food portions are quite large, and everything tastes amazing. I dont think Ive ever ordered something I didnt like.The owners are the most friendly people youll meet. They even play music for the guests occasionally. This ambiance, plus the decorations, makes the restaurant a mini-trip to Hawaii.10/10

Got the Katsu chicken with double Mac and fried rice. The chicken was decent, the Mac pretty good but I think could use a little more seasoning. I really enjoyed the fried rice, it had a lot of flavor which I find many places lack flavor in their fried rice.We also got the garlic chicken with double Mac and fried rice. I personally loved the garlic chicken more, but my boyfriend enjoyed the katsu more! All items were delicious.We also got 2 of the juices which were good.

This is one of my favorite places but the service a time was terrible. I ordered online and was immediately called to let me know they had run out of what I ordered and offered to cancel my order or change it, so I changed it. They said they’d update the price difference which never did happen. I arrived at the establishment 20 minutes after my order was placed (which is the time that the text from them said I’d get my order). I was told that my order was not ready yet and so I took a seat right in front of the register area. After another 45 minutes. I was still waiting for my order. Other patrons were coming in for their orders and also made to wait. The whole purpose for ordering online was so I wouldn’t have to hang out in an establishment! So after I found myself too impatient to wait any longer, I stood up and asked the cashier if my food was ready yet. She asked my name and apparently it was ready as it was sitting right in front of the register ready to go. My name was never called and I had to wonder how much longer I would have sat there waiting if I hadn’t had asked again. They called 1 guy’s name 4 times (lol, I was so tempted to take that guys order!) So anyway, we get home, food is no longer warm, taste was not the same as it usually is, and the overall experience was just terrible. I’ll still be eating there again but hope that the establishment will update their ETA texts. I wouldn’t have minded waiting an hour for our food while I was at home, but sitting there in the restaurant for that long was not cool.

If you are used to this, you’re looking for this. I wonder how they got this rating. Wait until you get back to town, don’t go. You’re welcomed
