★★★★★ 5.0 Anna C · Feb 2026

My husband and I went here right after we landed because it was on the way to our hotel. It’s a hole-in-the-wall place and we both got the chicken katsu. He got the kimchi as a side and I got the salted cabbage. Both were delicious! Would go back again to try more dishes.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Maui World Travelers · Jul 2025

Some people just love this place, but I haven't found my hit-the-spot dish yet. ATMOSPHERE: Hole-in-the-wall building in Wailuku. Difficult parking. Take out only. FOOD: Nabeyaki Udon Broth has a salty and slightly sweet taste. Comes topped with fresh mushrooms, green onions, kamaboko, chicken, broccoli, zucchini and 1 piece of shrimp tempura. It's good, but the one from Archie's is better (better taste and more veggies.) Chopped Steak Steak filets done with white & green onions and bean sprouts. Doesn't really taste like your typical local-style chopped steak, unfortunately, but more like a cross between chicken hekka & nishime. Chicken Katsu IMO, it's hard to screw up chicken katsu unless you overcook it. Here, their katsu is good. Tender, tasty and a breading that's not too oily, wi

To go only - during the weekdays. But it’s worth a visit if you are nearby. True gem for locals. The chicken katsu and tempora set were so good.

★★★★★ 5.0 Jostein Ovrum · Oct 2025

We went to try the much-praised chicken katsu and were not disappointed. The kimchi side was also excellent. Eat here. Do it!

★★★★★ 5.0 Bobby K. · Sep 2025

Very surprised with the food. I ordered the pork katsu and tempura combo with Chowfun. The katsu was crunchy, tender and very flavorful. Unfortunately my tempura was a little under cooked. It came out soggy. It needed about 1 more minute in the fryer. The very surprising thing was the side of chowfun. I thought as a side, it would be bland and just a filler but it was very good. I could of just ate the chowfun as the main, that's how good I thought it was.
