The Ultimate Hawaiian Short Rib Experience in the Pacific Northwest

When it comes to authentic Hawaiian BBQ, nothing speaks louder than the quality of the beef. At Buddha Bruddah, our Hawaiian Short Ribs are more than just a meal—they are a labor of love. From our original location in Seattle’s Beacon Hill to our popular spots in Kirkland and Kenmore, we’ve built a reputation for serving the most tender, flavorful short ribs in the region. Whether you're a local or just passing through Bellevue or Redmond, one bite of our Choice Grade Angus beef will transport you straight to the islands.

Choice Grade Angus Beef & Artisanal Marinade The secret to our ribs lies in the preparation. We start with Choice Grade Angus Beef, sliced thin in the traditional flanken style across the bone. This cut is ideal for absorbing our house-made marinade, which features a sophisticated blend of Soy, Japanese Sake, and Mirin. The Sake and Mirin work together to tenderize the beef, while the brown sugar, fresh garlic, and pungent ginger create a caramelized glaze once it hits the high heat of the grill. This isn't your average BBQ; it’s a balanced, umami-rich experience that honors the fusion of Japanese and Hawaiian culinary traditions.

A Local Favorite from Bothell to Woodinville We understand that our customers in Bothell, Shoreline, and Woodinville value quality and authenticity. That’s why we never take shortcuts. Every plate is served in the classic Hawaiian "Plate Lunch" style. The two scoops of steamed Jasmine Rice are the perfect vessel for the savory juices of the grilled beef. Our Mac Salad provides a cool, creamy contrast, and the Asian Slaw adds a zesty, vinegary crunch that balances the richness of the Angus beef.

Bringing the Aloha Spirit to Every Neighborhood From Mercer Island to Sammamish, Buddha Bruddah is proud to be a staple of the PNW food scene. Our Hawaiian Short Ribs have become a top seller on our Food Truck and at our brick-and-mortar locations because they offer a premium dining experience in a casual, approachable format. If you’re looking for a hearty, high-protein meal that captures the essence of a Hawaiian summer, look no further.

Quality & Ingredients

Premium Cuts and Hand-Made Marinades

We exclusively use Choice Grade Angus Beef, ensuring superior marbling and tenderness. Our ribs are marinated for at least 24 hours in a signature blend of Soy, Sake, and Mirin, along with fresh-crushed garlic and hand-grated ginger. We use real brown sugar for a natural caramelization that creates those iconic char marks on the grill. The Jasmine rice is premium long-grain, and our Mac Salad is made fresh daily with a traditional recipe (contains egg).

  • Allergens: This dish contains soy and gluten (in the beef marinade) and egg (in the macaroni salad).

Perfect Pairings

Elevate Your Meal

The rich, savory profile of our Hawaiian Short Ribs pairs beautifully with a sweet and creamy Thai Iced Tea. If you want a variety of textures, add an order of our Coconut Shrimp as an appetizer—the crispy, tropical crunch is the perfect prelude to the tender beef. For a true "Island Style" feast, we recommend adding a piece of Spam Musubi to your order, creating the ultimate combination of salty, sweet, and smoky flavors.
