★★★★★ 5.0 Michael · Dec 2025

This place is definitely Ono!! It’s a pretty basic Hawaiian menu eatery with fair amount of seating is very clean, but the environment was kind of bland But that’s OK because the food made up for it. The menu covers all the basics.. The price is very very reasonable in fact it’s a killer deal. I had the Hawaiian barbecue mix plate and egg guava hand pie.. The mixed plate was a lot of great food for not much money. The teriyaki beef was a good size portion and a little on a sweet side, but tender.. the barbecue chicken was also tender and flavorful. My plate came with two thighs. The best part and I did not expect it was this combination included a short rib. The short rib was actually tender and very, very meaty. The mac salad was basic and the two scoops of rice was decent rice. The guava

People there were nice. Did was so over processed. Chicken tasted weird. Gummy texture, for the meat too. How did they do that. It was grilled breast but texture was like a restaurant bagged chicken finished on the grill. Yuck!
