“You know that song that goes “I love you for so many reeaaasssooooooonnnss, I love yoooouuuu for all seeeaaaasssooonnss” that’s what I hear when I eat their food. Now I love me some bbq and that macaroni salad? “I get so weak the knees I can hardly speak” 10/10 every time I went there which was almost every night for the 10 days we were visiting Lihue. I hope to come back soon??!!!! They also have some really cool wild chickens and chicks wandering around so atmosphere is 20/10.“

“I really enjoyed the food here - so tasty and generous portions. Also, very reasonably priced. A sign was that the place was filled with locals for dinner i.e not a tourist trap. I had to come back again before heading to the airport.

Vegetarian options: Certainly vegetarian and vegan friendly with a lot of options in the menu. You’ll certainly not be having to settle.“

“The decor was a little eerie, it looks like things haven't changed for 30 years, there was loud bassy music leaking from the bar next door, but somehow... the vibes were just right! The portions were large and the food was really yummy!

Definitely come here if you get the chance! Fried rice upgrade was super worth it as well.“

“Non-chain Chinese food. Large quantity and good value for money. There is a parking lot and no toilets.

The taste is quite delicious. One that I can recommend.
Since we are a Chinese restaurant, we are open even on Christmas, when most people around us are closed.“
