Mo’ Bettahs is a Hawaiian-style restaurant brand known for serving authentic Hawaiian plate lunches. The brand was founded in Bountiful, Utah in 2008 by brothers Kimo and Kalani Mack, who grew up on Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi.

Mo’ Bettahs brings the food, culture, and feeling of Hawaiʻi to guests through island-style meals, generous portions, family-style hospitality, and the spirit of Aloha.

“Mo’ Bettahs” is a Hawaiian Pidgin phrase meaning “more better.”

The name captures the brand’s personality: welcoming, flavorful, generous, and rooted in the culture of Hawaiʻi.

Mo’ Bettahs serves Hawaiian-style food, with a focus on the authentic Hawaiian plate lunch.

A typical Mo’ Bettahs plate includes a choice of island-style protein served with rice and macaroni salad. Guests can also choose options like brown rice, mixed vegetables, or salads to create their plate. Additional add-ons like spam musubi and cookies are available.

The Hawaiian plate lunch is a classic meal from Hawaiʻi with roots tracing back to the 1800s plantation era. Workers from Japan, China, Korea, Portugal, and other regions brought their own foods to share meals together in the fields. The Hawaiian plate lunch became a fusion of all these cultures. It usually includes a protein, rice, and macaroni salad.

At Mo’ Bettahs, plate lunches are served with white rice and macaroni salad, with brown rice and mixed vegetables available. Guests can choose from proteins such as Teriyaki Chicken, Kālua Pig, Pūlehu Chicken, Katsu Chicken, Teriyaki Steak, Shrimp Tempura, and Mixed Veggies.
