I went here with a group of friends for the first time, the staff were pleasant, the interior could use some work, but, there were some serious issues. Out of our group of 5, one of us had to wait a half hour to get our food. When we ordered, we were the only customers there.
I ordered the seafood plate with beef, the beef was generic teriyaki beef, mildly disappointing but, it was fairly good. The fried shrimp was really soggy, had no flavor, and i had a piece that was still raw, not something i’ve seen before. The fried fish was actually worse somehow, it was flavorless mush, in a thin fried coating, it was more disgusting than I would’ve thought possible. The rice was overcooked somewhat, which, no big deal. The macaroni salad wasn’t my cup of tea, not sure how it stacks up to expectation for those who like it. Honestly, the best part of my food, was the cabbage salad.

I cannot recommend this place, and the experience was bad enough that I felt compelled to write a review.
The other members of my party had equally disappointing experiences.

I ordered from here through DoorDash just now, and oh my goodness. I’ve never had moshiko chicken before, and this was the best juiciest chicken I’ve ever had before. The macaroni salad is to die for, and I also got a spam musubi and it was the best I’ve ever had. The rice was also cooked to perfection, new favorite Hawaiian spot!!

Service was great, staff was friendly and we received our order quickly but this is not legit Hawaiian food. This is Chinese-fusion Hawaiian food. The mac salad was a huge miss for me. I think they make it in house and it did not taste like authentic Hawaiian Mac salad, it was very acidic and left a bad taste in my mouth.

Ordered a side of Portuguese sausage twice and get Spam Masubi instead. Kalua pork is pretty bland also.

I had my doubts about this place, but it was surprisingly good Hawaiian bbq. The portions are big. I like that you can custom your sides too and no extra charge for brown rice. It's just a far drive for me since I live in Seattle. I would come back if near the area.

Worst customer service ever even the food is great. The girl working on Tuesday 23rd around 5pm has a biggest attitude on customers. Doesn’t even to how to great and say thank you. Cold shoulders with debt collector attitude. FIRST TIME DISAPPOINTED AS A LOYAL CUSTOMER. Thank god that she’s only working on this type of food place lol !!! Seriously please take an action
