Never dry, tender and flaky with nice browning. Alternating bites between the two scoops white rice, macaroni salad, broccoli & cabbage makes for a satisfying meal. The kalua pork is tasty too. Expect a short line at the order counter and several parties eating at the tables in this casual place at the Nobb Hill shopping center. Service is always pleasant from the one-person wait staff. They're busy and efficient among all the pickup, catering orders and tables. They have a lot on their menu and the wall monitors may be hard to read so if you're new, grab one of their laminated menus on the counter to review.

I ordered a chicken ramen dish with Fish cake from this restaurant to go. The quantity of soup…read morewas good and all the toppings neatly packed separately. The quantity was decent. The service was quick, I would try more dishes but giving 4 stars as they missed fish cake which I had ordered as an extra. But that's ok since the dish was very good. The chicken was grilled to perfection and was flavorful with the soup

The only thing needs improvement was the vegetables (underneath the meat). They can do better about that, e.g. put salt or make them a bit more tasty. Easy to find parking and food came out really fast after ordering. Solid place for lunch.

The have a wide variety of flavors, and as someone with decision fatigue was a bit overwhelmed, but luckily they have suggest flavor combos, and we decided to try the Coconut Lover, which had coconut, tigets blood (which we were told is cherry and coconut), and passion fruit. We also added vanilla ice cream and condensed milk to top. We were hoping to get their mochi, but were informed that they were out which was unfortunate. The ice texture was on par with the one in Hawaii! Super soft, and soaks up the flavors really well. Definitely recommend adding the condensed milk as it added the perfect sweetness and creaminess. They use vanilla bean ice cream, which I thought was a bit too vanilla bean forward, and which I opted for their coconut ice cream instead. Service was super quick, and they have signage posted that if you want more flavoring, you can ask for more! Will definitely be back in the future

There was only me and my girlfriend there so we got a private show. They took care to cook my vegetarian portion first before cooking her shrimp. For the sushi, presentation is good but the rice is not perfect. I still enjoy all the sushi options they have and would definitely be back. The restaurant itself is huge and I haven't seen it packed. The only downside is the seats on the sushi side of the restaurant do seem older and the one I sat on was ripped.
