Food: Looking at the menu the place seems more of Filipino cuisine than Hawaiian or a fusion of both with the Filipino side having a bigger influence. The taste was a little bland and simple on the burrito. The Ube Horchata tasted like cinnamon toast cereal.
Atmosphere: Chill atmosphere but tables we were at, were sticky.

This is an island themed small little restaurant/bar in the middle of San Jose. this restaurant serves a variety of island themed food, beer and wine. They do not serve hard alcohol despite saying that they are a bar. That means you won’t be able to cocktails that aren’t made with wine as a base. Hoping to get a Mai Tai, and were disappointed. The food here is good, but if you’re planning on drinking anything other than beer or wine, do not expect to find anything here.The parking situation is decent. You’ll probably have to park two blocks away because this is a busy downtown area. we were only able to find parking that allowed for one hour but this is also closest to San Pedro Square and there is a large parking lot there.Overall, I recommend coming here if you’re looking for a quick bite to eat or want to stop by for a beer or two. if you’re looking for restaurant experience with cocktails (something a Bar would have), you might not find it here

Absolutely delicious Hawaiian/Filipino food! I tried the Sisig, garlic rice, bayrito, poke nachos, and they were all amazing. It was busy so food took a bit to prepare, but there was also $5 cocktails for happy hour!

?CHICKEN ADOBO OMELETTE $17If you like sour food you might like this very typical Filipino dish! Vinegar cooked omelette rice!When it was served, it was really fragrant and appetizing!But I personally don’t like vinegar very much, so the taste doesn’t quite suit me.?DA SITUATION $13I like this very much! It’s a dish that’s perfect for brunchI like the crispy texture added by the tots inside~You can choose the meat according to your preference. We chose Lechon roast suckling pig.?SPICY GARLIC SHRIMP $19Seeing this makes me miss the food trucks in Hawaii.Their seasoning is good and the garlic flavor is less intense compared to the Hawaiian food truck.The problem is that as someone who grew up by the seaI think its shrimps are not very fresh (the meat is not firm but soft)

I went expecting sub par feelings about filipino food in the south bay. You usually see everyone flocking to rene rose, jolibee, goldilocks, barrio fiesta etc. This place is very much a hidden gem. Its not your average filipino restaurant, american/filipino fusion. Lumpia and chciharron for apps. brought back memories. We had da situation with tocino and longanisa bowl. Vibe = chill; food = ????

I might be a little biased due to my heritage, but I can see that as an expert opinion.Atmosphere in this little hole in the wall is on point. Great customer service, Yada Yada. The main thing you are wondering is how is their food?I grew up in Hawaii most of my childhood and I can proudly say that these guys made me feel like I was at home again. The sigsig I got was the perfect blend of juicy and crispy pork. The garlic rice was amazing, just like the presentation of the food. Definitely coming back, and often.

Get the pork belly lechon rice bowl w/ mac salad and an egg on top. Everything goes so well together and the chimichurri sauce just makes it even better!

visited at 12/17/23. finially got a chance to check this joint out after moving here. It was an okey service got the lechon which was the first bowl to try and caught my attention to it immediately. that was great, but i decided with no egg (yea, im crazy.) it had some zest to it to me so that was fine. next bowl was the beef tapa bowl with no egg and it was sweet. overall the place was coo, the bowls to me was okey
