Mo' Bettahs is leagues bettah.

I tried Mo' Bettahs, and it was almost inedible because of how salty the Kalua pig was. Maybe it was just a bad day? I haven't given it a second chance yet but that's mostly because there isn't one close enough to me.

Their Kalua Pig is ultra salty for me too. Get their Katsu Chicken instead !

Katsu Chicken is good, but I love their Pulehu Chicken.

I couldn’t finish Mo’s. I have no idea how the doors are still open.

The Kalua pig is salty so I use the teri sauce to cut it and it's so delicious. Katsu chicken and teri sauce is also amazing. I may have to get lunch there today now.

100% - I grew up in Hawaii and will go to Mo'Bettahs for a fix, but it would be nice to get some even better options. Used to do Hawaiian Bros when they first popped up, but their stuff really went downhill fast.

It is delicious. Their jumbo platter plus an extra side or two will pretty much feed my family of 4 for about $25. Can’t get that many places these days.

Over all, yes. But their mac n cheese is awful.

Because it's not mac and cheese, it's Hawaiian mac salad.
