Great experience! The view and atmosphere is amazing. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Restaurant is very clean, except the restrooms, that was an opportunity.
We ordered two Luau plates, one with beef and one with pork. Beef was delicious, very well marinated. Pork was ok, very avg. Sides all tasted great. Also ordered malasadas, not as good as Hawaii's but very tasty.
Service was very transactional similar to a fast food restaurant.

A 10-minute scenic water taxi ride from downtown Seattle drops you right at one of the best patio perches on Elliott Bay. The Hawaiian-Korean fare hits every note—crispy katsu and pork sliders, golden fish and chips, and cold craft drinks right by the water. The counter line stacks up heavily the second a ferry unloads, so stroll the waterfront for 20 minutes post-docking before stepping up to order. An absolute 5-star essential for sunny Seattle afternoons.

They got our part of 6 sitting in minutes without a reservation on a Friday right off the boat. Our server was the bartender; he made the group some magical drinks. We had oysters in the half shell, and I had a salad.
