The poke was soaked in soy sauce that was too salty, it was difficult to eat. The fish tasted like a block of salt.
The food was excellent and the staff was friendly!

I come here for the teriyaki salmon plate. Salmon is grilled perfectly every single time, I can't get over it. Mac salad always good, rice always made perfectly.

Ok food, and I’m a lover of Hawaiian food. Prices are high but typical in these times. Food is a bit salty, kind of like my review. Max salad is good.

Our family was searching for a quality Hawaiian restaurant and were not disappointed. The portions were generous, enough to share between two people. We ordered the teriyaki chicken plate, shrimp, and katsu, all of which were delicious.
The only area for improvement would be the cleanliness of the patio. There were cobwebs above the tables that could be removed with a pressure washer.

Loco moco was highly underseasoned. The gravy is watery.
The bathroom needsss repairs badly. The toilet seat was broken and you needed to pull a rope to flush. ?♀️

Been going here for a long time and it’s been going down hill. Tonight, we got there at 8:30pm, and the bathroom was out of service (couldn’t even wash our hands), our food was packaged to go and the food was ‘eh. Shrimp was burned, moco loco patty was not fresh. Probably the last time we eat there. It’s also always cold. Sad because we like supporting local businesses.

A dog friendly place! I ordered the grilled catch of the day. It wasn't very good. It wasn't seasoned or anything extra. Just a piece of grilled fish. My daughter ordered the tuna sandwich which was very good. My husband ordered the tofu stir fry which was also very good. The spam musubi appetizer was good.
