Local BBQ place that has good burgers and a mixed BBQ plate! I like their mac salad! Pay in cash to save 3% surcharge.

Tried the Chicken Katsu Curry which tastes more like a chicken ramen flavor mixed with a gravy, pretty salty. I wasn't thinking it would be an actual scratch curry but I've had a similar dish from South Korea and that was scratch made. Not a fan of places that the food tastes like it's from a powder container, but typical nowadays. Use some vegetables at least in the preparation of the curry or cut the salt in half.

As for the food portions, the price is quite acceptable. Id say have the sauce as a side dip instead given how it's closer to a salty gravy. Katsu breading had a good flavor and the chicken cooked well. Id eat here again if near by as curry aside, food was good generally.

That all considered being in Hawaii first time seems customer service in saying hi or really responding is missing. I thought it was a one off but even here to get to respond had to repeat an inquiry. Seems odd but not being from here maybe this is normal.

Went to order dinner. No one was inside. It said open on the door. Saw someone in the kitchen who was trying to hide from us. Went around 6:00 pm. Toooo bad told them to change sign from open to close!

We drove here right from the airport and it was the right choice. The food was made fresh when we ordered it, and everything came out so good. There were seven of us, and all seven people were happy. Lots of locals ordering.

Honestly: I’m disappointed in *myself* for not finding this place sooner! Got the loco moco plate and let me just say- it’s not only packed full of food, but it’s also packed full of FLAVOR! The mac salad was absolutely on point as well. The young lady that assisted me at the counter, Taney, was an absolute delight, and shared her insight on the best “go-to” items on the menu with an added twist. :) I’m already excited for what I’ll try next!

This place is a hole in the wall but wowza is it good. Everything was insanely hot and fresh. The calamari was great. Everything was sooooo flavorful and delicious and the service was fast and excellent. Prices are super reasonable for the area. Highly recommend.

Parking: Kind of a crazy parking lot but even on a holiday weekend there was plenty of space.
