Shoyu Sugar

That Korean fried chicken is to die for. The seasonings are perfect. The chicken and the ribs went great with the Mac salad and rice. The owner was super friendly and welcoming. Loved the vibe. The only thing was that patrons from nearby food trucks will take over the tables when only a couple people from the large group are actually eating.

Rating: 2.5/5 [dine in] We saw on their Instagram that they’re selling the food truck and moving back to Hawaii, with their last day of service on July 18th, so we had to give it a try. The truck is located in a spacious food truck park with plenty of tables set up on green turf and a decent-sized dirt parking lot. We came on the last Saturday around 1:30 PM. There was a 45-minute wait, and they had already run out of the weekly special (garlic shrimp). To our surprise, their timing estimate was spot-on. The portions were big and everything looked delicious, but the meat themselves were all lacking flavor so you’ll 100% need the sauces.

Fantastic Hawaiian BBQ and very generous portions. We ordered the Korean Fried Chicken, Katsu Chicken, and Surf & Turf. All 3 dishes were spot on! Perfect crispy textures on the fried chicken, katsu, and garlic shrimp. Get plenty of the spicy shoyu sugar sauce. It paired great with everything, and they also have a spicy mayo to go with the fried chicken. I have a sweet tooth, so my favorite thing was the Ube Butter Mochi. Never tasted anything like it, and I got the last one tonight. The owners are from Hawaii, and they know what they're doing! Can't recommend enough.

Bummer this place isn't the same. I remember coming here multiple times a week than haven't gone back since it closed. Had a chance to try it again but it just wasn't the same. Barely any char marks or chargrilled taste like how the old owners used to do. The chicken was not marinated all the way and very chewy. The short ribs were literally a waste of money. It was 90% fat and they gave me 3 pieces not even joking. And it was all fat....they used to be way more generous and used better cuts of meat. Sucks they are representing the original shoyu sugar this way.

Such a yummy dinner! We got several dishes for my birthday and everyone loved it all. It brought us back to being on the island just a few months ago. We had the pork, KFC, katsu and the shrimp. Can’t decide which one we liked best, because they were all so good. I especially liked the sauces that came with it. And portions were good for the price point. And you can never go wrong with the authentic musubi! Will be back!
