I didn't want to eat another poke so after a long day walking at the Japanese Garden I looked on Google and found this restaurant. This place is just minutes from the garden and cemetery. When we got there was empty so I was a little worried but I am glad we stopped by cause MAN... it was delicious and the service was also great. Just before we were leaving more people started to come, I was happy to see the place full cause they deserved it. If you looking for a reasonably priced Hawaiian food restaurant, this is your place. I ordered the teriyaki chicken and hubby the shrimp with kalbi and they both were amazing, 10/10.

Stopped in for late lunch. Wanted to try some local food. The staff was, the dining area was pretty clean. But the mochiko chicken they recommended was not good, a heavy deep fried dark meat chicken dish. Tasted mostly like batter, minimal flavor, only rice option was white rice but they serve fried rice? I would have paid a couple of dollars more for fried rice?

Also I got the side salad option and it was just some lettuce and a tomato slice but the put the hot chicken and hot rice on it. So it’s warm to hot lettuce?

Does anybody like warm/hot lettuce as a salad option. Salad should have been in its separate bowl. The pink dressing was flavorful.

Woukd not come back..would other Asian dishes or BBQ or wings be better? They also serve burgers, fish burgers, bbq burgers, hot dogs, shrimp burger, etc,

I might have tried a fried rice option but $15-$16) seems high. I think value of the $11 meal I got was not there?

Vegetarian options: Several rice and veggie options

Parking: Busy strip center. Found a spot pretty close to restaurant around 130pm. Busy parking lot but you will find parking may be a short walk.

I. Came in for a Teri burger. I have to say I was disappointed when I got my burger it was a piece of flank steak between a sesame bun with cheese. Lettuce. When I immediately when up to the girl and said this is not a Teri burger she stated that I ordered what I received. Although she was wrong I went back to my seat and ate the flank steak with Teri sauce on it.
It did not taste very good because I wanted a Teri cheese burger. The fries were out standing.

Had to leave a review!! My food was reallly good. I want to try more food from this place. I am not a local i am visiting my sister who is, but I really wanted to experience the local experience and try all the local food. This place had all local customers when i was there. I saw no tourists during my visit. This place has really good food I’m telling you!! Hope i get to try it again before I head back to mainland.
