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.

Food was delicious with great portions. I got the chicken katsu and BBQ chicken and it was fresh and flavorful. One of the cheapest meals on the island with the biggest portions. Would highly recommend

Pretty good, not the best, but ok. Ordered roast pork and char sui. It was tasty, the skin of the pork was crispy and char sui was tasty. The rice and mac salad was normal. Service was good. Food came fast. Been here couple times.

Quick service and quickly prepared food with huge portions and great prices. I got the mixed plate with rice, chicken with ginger scallion sauce, and roasted pork. Oh my lord it was so good. Maybe I just hadn't had ginger scallion chicken in a while but I loved it and they prepared it well here. The roast pork was also so juicy and crispy on the skin. My partner got the eggplant dish and he absolutely gulped that down as well. We saw some people order a fried chicken dish as well that smelled divine and was absolutely a monstrous size. Next time we'll have to give that a try lol otherwise they have huge options in their menu, from many variety of chinese dishes to Hawaiian ones. You'll probably find something here for anyone.

We ate here a year ago, shortly after they opened (I think...) Laid back atmosphere, delicious Chinese fare. I had the Abalone/mushroom dish...again...:) Oh yeah, the fried fish was the best I've ever had.

If I could give - (minus) 10 stars ⭐️, this is what I’d do. First time, we stepped in this restaurant. A customer at one table draws my husband’s attention not to step on … the biggest, fattest, most disgusting cockroach that ever existed. The waitress stepped on it right in front of us. I turned around, I was out of there in no time.
