The short rib was soooo tender, the shrimp was plump, and the chicken had the perfect fry on it. We loved the sauces that came with it, as well.

I got to Garlic Furikake Chicken (mini size plate) with a free side of Kimchee Cucumbers and Pork Belly Adobo Fries. The Garlic Furikake Chicken was super delicious! I'm so glad I got the sauce on the side, if I had it on, it'll be too much. The furikake really is so good with the chicken. The Pork Belly Adobo Fries is good but a bit too salty for me. The Pork Belly Adobo was the one that is really salty to me. The fries were really good and is crispy and soft on the inside. I'm glad I didn't order a whole order for that. Definitely need rice or something to balance the flavor of it. Plenty of indoor seating. Plenty of free parking. Water is tap water if you bring your own bottle.

I feel like if you want authentic Hawaiian food you should definitely come here. Since it's in a bowling alley the ambiance is laid back diner style. Service was friendly! They bring you your food and clean up afterwards. They suggested items for us to try and explained that most of the sauces and recipes are home made. I try to write one negative/ constructive criticism point in all of my newer reviews: I can't think of one.
