The service was wonderful, food was absolutely delicious. I'm super picky when it comes to seafood sauce, but they got it down! Spice is perfect too!

Anyways if y'all want the long review it's on the Google maps review. And this place has so many owners I guess because you don't never know who you're talking to but they don't know what each other's doing because one says it's on the menu the other one says should it be added to the menu So it's a mess Anyways it's not any place that I care to frequent because not only has the food messy but so is the operation anyways yeah I'm done. Honesty from the supposed owners!!! Beware of your check because my daughter asked for some lemon 2x and they didn't advise us that they charged 1.75 each small bowl!!! Then straight up said they have to basically up prices on other things in order to keep the seafood prices down . Then I wrote a Google review and another owner straight up lied on his response to me... I don't like dishonesty and I greatly value customer service in which they fail at both . For a few slices of lemon they messed up a possible regular customer... The food was ok but pretty pricey for what you get. The seafood buffet is about the same price and definitely worth going to instead of dealing with know it all management/owners that will argue over extra lemon.

We went right when they opened at 11 AM because we wanted to get a good seat, and surprisingly, the place was already pretty busy. That's usually a good sign, you figure if there are already a lot of people there, the food must be fresh and good. I ordered the carne asada, my son got a quesadilla, and my parents ordered a couple of different things. The location isn't the best. It's around Central and Louisiana, and there are quite a few homeless people in the area. It can definitely feel a little sketchy, but honestly, that's not something I can really hold against the restaurant. The service, however, was a different story this time. Normally the staff is pretty friendly and the restaurant is well run, but this visit they just seemed off. One thing I've noticed before is that once they realize you don't speak Spanish, the way they treat you can sometimes change. And being Mexican but not speaking Spanish shouldn't suddenly mean you get different service. ‍ The food was just okay this time. My carne asada was warm when it came out, and the meat wasn't as tender or juicy as I remember. There just wasn't anything that really stood out. They do give you chips and salsa, plus a little bit of queso, which is nice. I will say the atmosphere is fun and festive. If you're familiar with Latino culture, you'll definitely recognize the vibe here. It's lively and has a lot of character. Would I recommend it? Normally, yes. But based on this particular visit, I'm not sure. Maybe it was just an off day, or maybe something has changed with the management or staff. I know there's another location, so I think I'll give that one a try next time and see how it compares.

I'm so glad I finally got to check this place out after all these years of living here. The store is in an industrial area, and looking from the road, you can definitely miss it if you blink. It looks a lil sort of like a hole in a wall place and I wasn't even sure it was open by looking from the outside even! But...I did park in the back and checked out the shop! I opted for Loco Moco with overeasy egg, soda and got 2 spam musubi to go. I must say the food hit the spot for me. I hadn't had Hawaiian food for close to 10 years now so it was really nostalgic savoring this thing again. The spam musubi was also great though on a pricy side..but hey..once in a while, it's good to treat yourself with yummy things! The staff there were both friendly. They ended up chatting with me most of the time since when I stopped by it wasn't busy with the crowds. I also learned they do have food truck offerings at events at Hyder Park on select days, too! Just the only things I wished they had some other things like guava cake and mochiko chicken that I really missed too though!

It was awesome and made just right! So why the 2 stars??? It started off with so much potential, then quickly went downhill. I was happy to see they offered delivery, and so I ordered and looked forward to some ono grinds (good food). When I got the delivery and opened the container, my first reaction was "WHAAAAAATTT?????". This was NOT katsu! It was mushy chicken teriyaki-ish swimming in sauce, mac salad that was masquerading as local mac salad, and overall just a container of non-local food. It didn't taste goo either. I was told at the time that it was under new management, but even so, it should not have kicked its standards to the curb. I was afraid to eat their food after that. If you are going to advertise yourself as a Hawaiian food place, make sure you got the goods. We locals know the difference.

I told her that I was just sitting here for a glass of wine awaiting my son and with a tinge of agitation, she said, "I thought u eat here". She snatched the paper away so I said I would just sit at a table holding she wasn't my waitress. I asked if she could bring the wine to the table. Her response, " Yea but I thought you eat here..." as she oddly stood there with a grimaced look holding the paper mid air. Guess who brought my wine? UGH. Oh well, when my sin arrived, we both ordered a pound of snow crab bags each both with an extra potato. The 1 pound orders come with a potato and 1 half ear of corn. He got what he asked for with what looked like an extra crab claw, but less the extra potato. I got 1 and a half king crab legs and 1 potato...no corn. Not wanting to annoyed my waitress as I had obviously did earlier, I asked the only gentleman server who seemed most interested in watching a football game the entire time if I could speak to a manager. I mean, that's what I typically do when my order is incorrect. He said that there's no manager as he rushed to get back to the Seahawks/Redskins game. I get it, I brought my laptop to Walmart just yesterday to watch the 53 yard pass that won US a game the day before. BEAR DOWN! The only difference was that on tonight, I was at dinner in this night, not work. IJS. I digress. My waitress came over, annoyed needless to say, and I mentioned the error to her and she insisted that king crab is what I ordered. I've never tried and have never had the desire to try king crab legs, but ok. She asked if I wanted a snow crab and I said sure but please be sure I got my corn and extra potato this time. She answered, ok, ok, and scurried off (I didn't quite hear the second ok clearly but assumed that's what she said). She returned with my order...again, no corn. I get my bill and to my surprise this order was $153 for 2 glasses of wine, 2 snow crabs and.1 extra potato. I asked about the bill and she said (again with her bad attitude) "I ask you if you want me to take the king crab back and you say no". I responded, "I said no because it would have got thrown away anyway. Because my entire order was wrong I didn't expect to get charged for it. What would you have done with the order other then throw it away anyway?" Her response, "It's MY choice what I can do". Needless to say, my tip was to "Say no to drugs". Did anyone else get the fork on the floor because Crackin Crab certainly didn't know what it could have meant. I jokingly placed a fork face up on the floor next to me earlier that night. I'm not THAT PERSON and have/will never claimed to be. I just wondered if they had a clue. It got swept up with the trash by another worker so obviously they didn't get it. That cruise ship would have moved along like a speed boat with some not so nice comments the next day. Aside of the snow and king crabs being a bit smaller than I'm used to being from Chicago, the food was pretty good. A double bag may have kept the butter melted longer but, oh well. Be sure to sit at the younger Asian lady's tables. Other times I've been there they were always sooooo pleasant.

The service for that visit was impressive, which really made the meal. 4 stars Last week, my son and I returned for another run at just scallops, calamari again, and Cajun fries. The restaurant was busier this time, but not packed and there was still no waiting, but the service was far less than what we had just a couple weeks earlier. The food was good, not great, again.

In any event I intermittent fast and I hadn't eaten so we stopped here on the way back. It's not the most promising looking place on the outside, it's fairly generic, not to mention the generic name. But inside it's cute and clean. The menu is a a good size with lots of options. I ordered the chicken satay and the papaya salad. I can't remember what my wife had but it was good. The satay was nice and not covered in gooey marinade. It was delicate and delicious. The papaya salad was huge and I ended up having it for multiple meals. I ordered medium which turned out to be pretty fiery but delicious. While I've found plenty of good Vietnamese I haven't liked too many of the Thai places here. This is an exception. And now I see that they have a second branch on Nob Hill which is near my house which is great.
