The BBQ chicken was flavorful and well cooked. The Kalua pork was tender and really good. The musubi had a lot more flavor than I've had at other places. Now the Kogi fries were amazing and puts this spot in the front lines with others. The bulgogi was super tender, the sauce had a mild spiciness to it, the kimchi tasted fresh and the waffle fries were prefect! The macaroni salad and rice were both pretty standard. We'll be returning

Price is a little high but when it came out I felt ok with it. I like the Mac salad. Not too cute, just good simple Mac salad. The garlic chicken had a really good texture. Crispy and juicy. The only thing I would change is the sauce was kind of wimpy. It was a little sweet and a little garlicky but I wanted a lot more of both. The spicy pork was not my favorite. Spicy pork bulgogi is one of my favorites. The problem I had was it was too dry. So it made the spice a little too forward in the wrong way. I could be talked into coming back.

The location was easy to find, but as with most places out here, can be a little challenging but doable. The place is big. There's a lot of seating indoor and has an outdoor area with bench seating like back home. Already hitting all the positives. The guy at the register is awesome, reminded me of my nephew. He took our order and gave us a buzzer. We sat outside and within minutes our buzzer went off. On the other side of the register is the pickup area. The guy pointed out each entree and repeated what it was. Even though I already knew what the entrees were, I actually appreciated that. It was good customer service. The food was like kanak attak. The portion was humongous. The poke nacho style wonton chips with spicy poke and kalua pig was broke da mout on point! With 3 of us sharing, we couldn't finish it, but made sure we ate all the poke so no left over lol. We also had the meat jun and garlic chicken. They were just as good. Only thing I was not 100 percent happy with was the rice and mac salad. Rice may be fresh but seemed day old to me and the mac salad needed to be thrown out. I did tell the guy. It was starting to have that sour smell. I know they didn't know, but as a local, we know and we have to support each other so everyone stay happy.

Ordered the Hawaiian Nachos: Portions- insane and you feel like you've cheated the business Taste- 10/10 Ordering - 10/10. Easy and straightforward and the workers are super friendly.

You do need to park in the street. At first I did not know where to park because it's on a relatively busy street. The inside has a few tables to sit at to eat. I ordered the regular beef which came with rice and mac salad. The beef was cooked perfectly and as some reviews mentioned it is a little soupy with the teriyaki sauce but I really liked the sauce. It is on the sweeter side. The mac salad was yummy too. They also had three different pies for dessert and I had to go with the banana cream pie which had a macadamia nut crust. What I really liked was the custard was not super sweet. So GOOD.

My only minor gripe was that it leaned a touch salty but it didn't detract much from an otherwise really tasty bowl. It's on the spendier side but the portion size is generous enough that you'll leave satisfied. For the quality of the fish alone, I'd say it's worth it.

Nope. Nope...This is absolutely not Hawaiian food. This is a…read morecomplete mockery of Hawaiian food. To begin with, the mac was DRY. Yes, dry. Any Islander knows, Hawaiian mac is super buttery and creamy. This stuff was barely more than elbow noodles with mayo. And as for their Kalua pork... holy moly... I hope you enjoy disgusting cabbage water, because they do not flash-steam their cabbage and then set the shredded pork on top. No, they literally cook the cabbage to death like a poor Irishman from 1850, then scoop it into the box along with at least a cup of nasty cabbage water with it. The musubi was forgettable at best, with far too little glaze for the size of the musubi. And they were $4 each ($8, as you must purchase 2), which is bonkers expensive for spam, rice, a little glaze, and nori-wrap. Finally: This is nothing more than plain, overcooked crockpot pork, as that is exactly how it tasted. No island spices could be detected whatsoever in any bite. If they ever added any spices, they were likely washed off in all of that foul crockpot water. Ultimately this was a big pile of shredded pork and cabbage goop in a box with plain rice and worse-than-average mac salad. I promise -- you could make Hawaiian food far better at home as a complete novice, even if it didn't turn out very good. Yuck. So fricken gross.
