This place made me feel like I was back in Hawaii. Small place,huge aloha and the food is delicious! They have a huge menu and you can find all your favorites! I have been here several times, and this time I got a combo plate with kalbi ribs and teriyaki chicken and a few spam musubi for dinner. Everything I come in the vibe is warm and friendly. They have a keikei menu as well. If you have not been here yet, please come by and support this place!

You will be FULL after visiting. The food was overall quite good, we got the Kalua Moco, Garlic chicken and Chicken Katsu plate, and Hurricane(?) Fries. I'm a sucker for island eats and this hit the spot. The chicken plate could benefit from some sort of sauce, the fries and kalua moco (the over easy eggs were perfect) left me stuffed which ended up being leftovers for later in the night.

Just be aware that this place is really small, only a few seats and tables, it seems like most folks order take out here. I'd also recommend bringing cash here.

This place was great! This was a small eatery tucked into an unassuming business area.

Great portion sizes at great prices. I got the combo plate of chicken katsu and garlic chicken. Chicken katsu was a little bland, which I think is normal honestly, so I wish they had tonkatsu sauce to eat with it. They do have other sauces like hot sauce and ketchup on the counter. Garlic chicken was juicy. We also got the kahlua loco moco, that was similarly great, a little salty. Hurricane fries were delicious. Crispy, fluffy, and well seasoned with what I think is spicy mayo and furikake. Overall paid about $42. Come with cash as card will have a 3.5% processing charge!

Service was good. Lady at the front took our order promptly.

The place itself is small. 1 table that fits 6 and about 5 tables that fit 2-3. Saw lots of to-go orders. Older place, not new and shiny, but I think it's nice it's more low-key.

I would love to try their pancakes and other plate items next time. Would definitely come back!

I am in love with Hawaiian food here in the PNW. This little spot packs a big punch with all of the flavors and delicious food. I dove right in before I could take an og picture. I likely would have ordered a 2 meat plate but I thought doung the Bentonville box would be fun. The atmosphere was fine. It wasn't much to look at and I sat a little squenched near the front door. Hey ultimately I was happy they had indoor seating available. Easy place for pick up only. Worth going to, especially if you're visiting IKEA... It's a family owned small business which makes me feel better about my money spent.

I looked up musubi and this place came up with really good reviews. I was not disappointed. I got three different kinds of musubi. Tempura prawns, spam and Portuguese sausage. All of them delicious. I also ordered a combination plate and got machicho(sp?)chicken and the shoyu chicken. I used to compete in barbecue and the shoyu chicken is a prize winner. So far nothing has disappointed me. Don't expect it to be super clean. The table tops were ok but the floors had all kinda dust and stuff. They do have really nice pictures up though. Make sure if you don't see anyone up front they have a bell next to the POS.

My wife and I finished a long journey through the swedish IKEA hills, leaving with a profound hunger. This restaurant was a welcome tropical oasis that satiated our cravings. The staff helped us navigate the unfamiliar deliciousness presented cleverly through a catalog of pictures. Delicious food, reasonably priced served with a smile.

The best HI food in the area! I recommend this to anyone who is looking for authentic food. If you don’t try the mochiko chicken, you’re missing out. It’s the best I’ve ever had! It’s so crispy and it melts in your mouth.

First things first, my wife has been on a search for the best Mac salad in the greater Seattle area and says the one here is the best she's had so far. I agree. The menu is extensive, with something for everyone. I would happily return to try more. Everything I tasted was excellent. Service was quick. This is a no frills restaurant where the food comes in a take out container but it is absolutely delicious nonetheless.

Amazing food, perfectly seasoned. Friendly service felt like ohana (family). You ever try something and know immediately it's a cut above, made by a very experienced cook or chef? That's how this was. Reminded me of Pine Tree Cafe on the Big Island. I wish it was closer to home!

The good is always fantastic and service is excellent. The musubi is the best in the state and I can't leave without a extra spicy spam musubi to go.
