The atmosphere isn't exactly inviting, but the food and friendly service were really great. Large portions for relatively little money, much cheaper than on the other islands. Thank you!

The best butterfish on the island! So ono! Fresh, flaky, buttery and moist! The first time we came here, we had to come back the next night . Now it's a must when in Hilo. Service is nice and feels like you're at your aunties or uncles house. I also like the Korean chicken salad, soloing streak, and galbi. Everything is fresh and flavorful, plenty of parking in the back.

Steak on a sizzling plate omgggg get that! It's so gooood. It comes with two scoops of rice and a side. Everyone eating here is local families and friends. This place has such a homey, community vibe. With birthday parties, firemen, construction workers.

The food is always good, and the portions are generous. The wait staff are always so friendly and fast. Love their Chicken Katsu, and especially their Potato-Mac Salad. I always order extra salad to take home. Perfect for lunch or dinner alone or with others!!

Great local restaurant. Many entrees can be combined to make your own 2 choice mix plate. I got Korean chicken + Furikake salmon which were freshly made and satisfying. The miso butter fish was very flavorful but a tad salty. Reasonably priced. Would like to return to try other dishes like Ramen or Tripe stew.

Food, great flavor simple old fashion local style. We had chicken katsu, kalbi, pork chop, hamburger steak and ramen. Everything was satisfying! Our waiter Jontae a few awesome qualities that stood out happy, welcoming, kind and caring. His energy and smile makes you feel how we embrace the aloha spirit. We live Oahu and it's really comforting to see local places still flourishing made me miss my grandma great place we'll be back
