Got the musubi, fries and fresca. The fries and fresca o guava are especially good!

I had the sweet chili garlic shrimp; my husband tried the kalua pork and TERI chicken. Both plates were very flavorful! The prices were good for the quality of food. A cute spot in the middle of 4Th Street Market in downtown Santa Ana if you’re looking for a quick, casual lunch.

Chicken Katsu was awesome, loved the picked red onions that came with it. The musubi was on point!

Delicious food! I had the Chicken Katsu plate and the Crunchy SPAM Musubi — both were excellent. My kids devoured the musubi! The dipping sauce for the katsu was flavorful, especially the Sweet & Spicy Sauce. The staff was also very nice. Highly recommend!

Haven’t been in a couple years. Ordered a plate for takeout and was surprised at how different it looked now. The prices are up and the portions are a fraction of what they used to be. Not at all worth the price anymore.

over priced for some frozen reheated food, would not recommend, i would rather eat dirt. also if you plan on working here they’ll underpay you’re better off at the goodwill.

I was looking forward to trying this place out.  Only to be disappointed that they don't serve loco moco and pork belly anymore.  Second day in a row for my hunt of a loco moco and struck out.  This place is located in a food hall.  They had at least 10+ dining options here.
The person who helped me was super nice and apologetic.  Sadly, at the time I placed my order, the menu wasn't working either.

I ordered:

1.  Kalua pork all rice:  My husband had to settle for this since there was no loco moco.  It was shredded pork and a little dry.  It lacked something.  Maybe if it was a kalua pork with cabbage, it would be juicier and flavorful.

2.  Garlic shrimp w/ chicken katsu:  I was surprised this was a fried shrimp with no shell and was coated in the chili sauce.  The shrimp was a good size as well. Chicken katsu was tasty. It wasn't the standard panko breading. It had flavor that it didn't need the sweet chili sauce.

3.  Crispy spam musubi:  I had looked forward to this, but instead, what was in the bag was furikake fries.  He had assured me everything was there and even highly recommended the crispy spam musubi.  He said it's typically his lunch break snack. Fail.

4.  POG agua fresca: I was surprised this was something they still had on the menu.  It was delightfully tasty and not overly sweet like an agua fresca

Overall, the food was good.   I honestly wouldn't have come here had I known there was no loco moco.  So it was a good experience to try something new.

Nice guys who work there, top notch service! It took a little longer to make my meal then they said it would, so they offered me a free Hawaiian beverage on the house. That’s called good business sense! 👍🏽🌴

I was so excited to try this place, it looked so good. I got the katsu and sweet chili shrimp plate. It sounded so good. I did go in near closing so I will consider that, but they fried my shrimp with the shell on! Wth??! I took one bite out of the shrimp and just covered in shell. I know you can eat the shell but dude come on who does that??? Idk if that was an error or just how they do things there but that was enough to turn me off. The location is cool inside 4th Street market. They were pretty quick service. The sauce on the shrimp was good. The Mac salad was good. But that shrimp shell was enough to turn me off.
