Niu Hawaiian BBQ: Experience Authentic Hawaiian Barbecue in Redding

We were doing a road trip and needed a place to have a lunch but did not have much time. Portions are large, food is great for the price, the eatery was very clean and service exceptional. My husband got bbq mix with beef, short ribs, chicken that comes with rice, veggies and mac salad for $16.99, I took seafood mix with fried fish and shrimp also comes with rice and mac salad for $14.99, highly recommend as this is great alternative to fast food and burgers. Mac salad was really good! Since it was our first time we were also given to try various sauces as complimentary add-on. The menu has great options for different size portions. There are enough tables to eat inside, but they also pack nicely for to go. The gentlemen who was at cashier on 1st of May 2pm was exceptionally professional and polite, going extra mile. Highly recommend this place!!! Added bonus is that we were driving electric car and there are superchargers 5 min away, so you can charge the car while having lunch to save time.

I love this place! Im sorry for not leaving a review sooner. This place hooks it up with the portions and a flavor to match! Cant find anything else like it up here in Redding. Hands down best spot Tried the Chefs Special Garlic Chicken. If only all the meals were as hot and amazing as the chefs special but i understand. Always room for improvement but congrats on being the best

Food was great! And the service was even better! The woman with pink hair was amazing! I'd come back just to talk to her!!

My son and I stopped into NIU Hawaiian BBQ and left stuffed, happy, and already thinking about when we’ll be back. The vibe inside is simple but inviting with island touches, beach mural, bamboo accents just enough to give you that Hawaiian escape without needing a plane ticket. Now let’s talk food: We ordered the Spam Musubi and the BBQ Mix Plate both were absolute winners. The musubi was wrapped perfectly, with just the right balance of rice, spam, and sauce. A perfect starter. The BBQ Mix Plate was no joke. It came LOADED with a mountain of beef, ribs, and chicken all grilled to smoky perfection. The ribs had that beautiful char that gives you a little crisp on the outside while staying tender inside. The chicken was juicy and flavorful, and the beef was seasoned spot-on. And yes the cold macaroni salad? Honestly hit the spot. Creamy, chilled, and the perfect contrast to all the hot grilled goodness. Portion sizes? Let’s just say you better come hungry or plan on taking some home. This is a solid spot for anyone craving big flavors, generous portions, and a little slice of the islands right here on the mainland.

Mr. Lee has officially created the perfect blend of Asian–Hawaiian fusion—flavors, magic, and love all on one plate. Finding this gem truly makes it a Merry Christmas for me. Tucked away in beautiful California, this restaurant has been open a long time for a reason—it is genuinely special. If Mr. Lee were on DoorDash, I would have already ordered everything on the menu. The food is magical, the flavors are unforgettable, and the experience feels made with care and heart. I can confidently say you will not be disappointed, and you’ll be very happy you came.

i’ve been coming here for years on and off but consistently for about 8 months now. my food is always delicious and there always quick. kailey is amazing ( i’m sorry if im spelling that wrong ) she has my order & name memorized and she always has a smile when i come in. it really makes someone want to come back over and over not just for the food but for the experience

This place is amazing. Great food, quick service, and delicious food. We always get great portions and greeted with smiles!

We love this place! We just moved to redding 3years ago and maybe only go to 4 places to eat out (there's not many good places here) this restaurant is one of our top picks. Everyone is always so nice I've never had any issues with my food or something missing. Love their drink options! Only wish they had garlic shrimp like other hawaiian bbq places but that's my only complaint
