★★★★★ 5.0 Angelena Moio · Nov 2025

chicken katsu curry was wonderful! great curry flavor & perfect crispiness.. definitely a good full portion for the price. garlic shrimp flavor is amazing! ‘ez peel’ shell that they say you can eat but definitely has shell if you’re adverse. I picked off most since I didn’t realize that until later, whoops! maybe best mac salad I’ve had?! has potato mixed in too & just a great fresh flavor. guava lemonade also delish!

Our first time at this place all the way from Florida, and it was a knock out. Great location, great selections, great creations, great combinations, and great flavors. The owners and the staff are truly amazing, making sure you have the best experience with the Hawaiian cuisine. This place is definitely a keeper. Check them out and try everything on their menu; you won't be disappointed.

The Mom's Garlic Chicken was delicious. Nice and crispy outside with a juicy chicken inside. The flavor on it was great. Add some chili water to the rice to make it extra delicious

★★★★☆ 4.0 Elijah Steinbauer · Aug 2025

The food was good and the folks working were really nice. They didn't have much for gluten-free. We got the combo and my wife took the macaroni. My favorite was the glass noodle once I added the orange vinegar sauce. We sat outside which was nice. They had plenty of indoor seating when we were there.
