Excellent customer service provided by Eric last night. And all the employees. The food was hot, fresh, and prepared quickly, even though I walked in on the eleventh hour. (Sorry about that guys) I got a small plate of chicken wings, rice and macaroni salad, the portion was so big for a small plate. The prices are very reasonable, my dish was $9 with tax. I was very full. The restaurant was very clean. The bathrooms were clean. This is becoming one of my favorite little local spots. See you soon, thanks!

Not sure what's going on with the service today or if there's new staff or the restaurant changed up serving sizes, but not happy with the plates I just received. Made a comment about the serving sizes and the girls up front looked lost. My family comes here all the time and I'm very familiar with the serving sizes. This is not worth the nearly $40 I just spent.

One thing about this location, they use fish cake as filler for their spicy ahi poke, it throws the whole taste of the poke off. The location on Losee is the absolute best. But since I don’t work down on the north side I tried this location. It was a big disappointment. But to each its own.

I had steak, it was so dry and flavorless.
And the attendant either couldn't hear me because the glass separator is so high and thick, but kept getting my order wrong.
Finally when I go to the bathroom, it's totally a mess as you can see the photos attached.

Had raw chicken in my chicken teriyaki. It was my first time trying this place and was so disappointed. The chicken katsu was good but i was so disappointed with the raw chicken. Didn’t notice it when i was taking a picture but you can see the raw chicken.

We were looking for some local style food near us after my wife's hair appointment and found this place. Bradda "Gus" was the guy who helped us at the counter, and the young man in the stove with the glasses was pretty funny too. Food was Ono and they offer a handful of sauces that compliment whatever you're eating. We had Teriyaki Chicken, Teriyaki beef, and Ahi Poke. I had the Spicy Poke, believing the other wasn't spicy, but it was, so mama couldn't eat it. Meals also come with 2 sides. The open environment was awesome, I think we were there about 1:30 or so, so it was after lunch time traffic, but that's just how we like it.
There's ample parking as well. Enjoyed our visit and will definitely be back.
Shout out to them for offering a military discount. We gave it back to Bradda Gus for his outstanding service🤙🏽🙌🏽

Wheelchair accessibility: There isn't a wheelchair access door, but we got in fine and we're able to move around easily with as much space as there is inside🤙🏽

First time eating here. All of the meats were cold. Not hot, not room temperature but cold. It's really a shame because the kimchi and mac salad were great.

You have one aggressive employee, he got upset because I wanted dressing on the side. he threw his hands in air and threw a fit. I’m glad he went in the back to deal with it. I understand he’s upset but please don’t take it out on your co-workers or customers. Not sure if I feel comfortable going back to get food here. Needs more training

The food is decent. I like the Kalua pork, a tad salty but still good.
