Customer service was amazing and the food was just as good. I got the chicken katsu and the portion size was huge for a good price. It can with a big amount of sauce and the chicken was beautifully crispy. Definitely exceeded my expectations and will be coming back.

I normally go to the Concord location and get the same garlic shrimp dish, but the Concord location is better... this one was disappointing ?

This food will fill that empty spot in your soul at the time when you need it most ? So many faves up and down the menu for when you're hankering for that something different, delicious, and filling. Ngl, their burgers are basically better than those foo foo $12+ "gourmet" burgers across the street or any fast food up the block (except Al's). A regular staple in my monthly rotation ??

Best authentic Loco Moco i have had outside of Hawaii. Hands down the best Mac salad I always get extra to take home. The gravy is perfect, egg is always cooked to perfection and again the Mac salad is top tier.They have a half order “mini” or a full order. The full comes with 2 patties and 2 eggs. Both are great options.Parking lot around the back makes parking easy.Absolutely delicious. I crave loco mocos from here often. Hits the spot every time!Come support this local gem ♥️Parking: Parking lot around back if you can’t find parking on the street.

Me and my girlfriend came here on a Friday afternoon super hungry, here’s what we thought of this wonderful place :)——MY REVIEW:This place is amazing. If you’re in the area looking for something yummy to eat at a great price, you absolutely need to stop in and grab something here.I got the beef curry, oh my god- it couldn’t have been better. The beef was SO SO tender, the curry was exploding with flavor, it comes with rice and macaroni salad- both of which were wonderful. The portions were extremely generous. That meal came out to less than $15 and was beyond worth, I will be putting this on my list and definitely coming back.——MY GIRLFRIENDS REVIEW:So so so so delicious this is the best Hawaiian food I’ve ever had. Very authentic you can tell they put a lot into their recipes. the food was prepared quickly and was hot upon arrival.The gravy they put on my food was so delicious and made everything come together, and I was able to get a side of kimchi which I loved! Definitely will be coming back to try the masubi as they had many yummy options of different types. 10/10

Solid crispy crab rangoon. Nice and quiet place. Solid katsu sandwich. Really hits the spot. Wish it had air conditioning though.

Great Hawaiian food, reminds me of being in Honolulu. Highly recommend the Moco Loco and chicken teriyaki.Don't bother with the mini version of the loco moco, get the regular size, you will love it, I guarantee it! ?There's a breakfast platter of rice, eggs, and Portuguese sausage I want to go back and try next time.They also have a wide assortment of Hawaiian sodas.

The service is horrendous. The Asian owner is a complete a hole, super rude, not welcoming, won't spend a dime of my hard earned money at this place. Not deserving, learn some respect, service skills and manners and maybe ill.come back.
