“Mini spareribs (boneless) plate was among their Thursday selections. Mini consists of a scoop of rice, Mac salad and brownie. All the spareribs and sauce smothered the rice, which you could barely see. The meal gets "mushy" if you don't eat it right away. But that's expected when the main dish isn't separated from the rice. The overall taste was good, nothing exceptional. They don't overpower their food with spices, salt or shoyu. The portion is generous; especially, for an $8.00 mini plate. You will have leftovers if you're a small eater. Scoopers is definitely worth the drive if you're looking for a good, plentiful meal at an exceptionally reasonable price.“
“I was roaming around the Waipahu area and yelp search brought me here. The food here was interesting. It seems like mixed local Asian dishes. Ordered takeout: steak plate with noodles, potatoes, and Spanish rice. Food was pretty good. I like the cheese potatoes. Pricing was okay. Not cheap eats but decent food for the price.“
“Good place to get a bite during your work lunch hour. Service was quick, tentative and waitress was awesome. Food comes out pretty quick as well. Good thing when you have to work, bad thing, after eating, that it makes you want to comatose. LOL!“
“Three reasons why I decided to try this place. First, the place was packed with customers either ordering or picking up their takeout orders. Two, the menu is huge! They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Three, the place looks as if it’s been here for awhile, meaning people come back.Hawaiian style plates. Various meats, rice, and noodles. Decent to good food. Very good price for the amount you get. Good parking. Located in an old neighborhood.“
“$20 Kalbi and garlic shrimp combo. The garlic shrimp was shrimply irresistible. The kalbi not so much. Shoulda got the prime rib instead? Rice was perfectly moist. Tossed salad was drenched with thousand island but that's how I like my dressing. Super nice people. Definitely going back again.“
“Lisa was our server and she made the experience there absolutely amazing. She deserves to be recognized as she was super attentive to everyone in our group including the children. We left our lunch super happy and shocked it was one of the best experiences we have had eating at a restaurant. The food was delicious and fresh.“
“Everything is delicious! Not only delicious, but affordable. May this small little gem of a restaurant always prosper may the hands that prepare these delicious meals have many more years of service to come. I'm not one to take time out to write reviews, but Garden Island Cafe deserves it. Thank you.“
