This restaurant sadly burned down in the Lahaina fires. It was a terrific restaurant for Kama’aina and tourists alike. I just spoke to the owner who had family trying to escape the fires by driving thru traffic cones to escape the fires on front street. They lost one family home and another was burned.
The food and service were good but the wait can be very long and unpredictable. The establishment has about 10 tables depending on party size ahead of you. They use a sign up sheet outside the front door. If there are a number of large parties ahead of you the wait can be extreme. We were a party of 2 and waited an hour and 20 minutes. Their menu has many options to satisfy almost anyone and once you’re seated food prep was surprisingly fast.
Make sure you don't come in a rush. The food is perfection. I would say between this spot and Sunrise Cafe, you get the authentic Hawaiian food experience. ? It's a popular restaurant run by a family. We got Sweet and Salty Loco Moco (with burger patty and spam) and the Kalua Pork Hash Loco Moco. Also got chocolate milk, that was delicious ?There was a line when we were there, you just had to sign your name into the waiting list out by the door. Friendly service. ☺️
