We were in town for just one night. Being from Hawaii I always want to get Hawaiian food if the…read morecity I'm traveling to has it. I found this place on yelp and decided to try it because of the reviews. I'm glad that I did. First of all I really liked the friendly service. They had Hawaiian music playing so I really felt at home. I let the guy at the register know that I was from Hawaii and he asked if I could taste the food before I left and give him a review. We had ordered the Aloha Family Meal. It comes with 7 scoops of rice, 4 scoops of Mac salad and 3 proteins. We had chicken katsu, kalua pork and kalbi. We paid an extra $2.99 to get the kalbi. It was worth it. I tasted everything and was happy that I chose this place to eat at. Everything was great. This meal is for 4 people but there was only 2 of us. We have a lot of leftovers for the plane trip home. I got some gravy to put on the rice and katsu. They have katsu sauce and curry sauce if you want. I tried the katsu sauce and it's a little different from Hawaii. The curry sauce that they have is a green curry. I really only like Japanese curry so I didn't try it. The rice that they use is calrose and this is what's supposed to be used. I spoke with the owner Andy and he was very friendly. He ended up giving me 2 spam music. I can't wait to eat it on the plane. If I ever come back to Dallas I will stop by as soon as I get off of the plane. People please stop by and give them a try. You won't regret it.

The salad dressing is tasty, and salad is fresh. Macaroni is also excellent. I'm glad I ordered this. Love it! Will definitely be back again. Place is modernly designed and furnished, brightly lit, and plenty of parking in the plaza for easy in and out. Service is 10 out of 5, friendly, attentive, above and beyond helpful for indecisive diners. Can't wait to try the other dishes.

Ana's Island Grill I'm born and raised in Hawaii, so I have…read morehigh expectations, but also know that there's a possibility that the food won't taste 100% like home. We walked in and Fiji was playing, so I already liked the laid back vibe. People working here were friendly. The spot is small with three tables, but it seems that most people take their orders to go anyway. You can see them cooking your food, which I like and food is cooked when you order. I ordered the laulau plate. The tossed salad was fresh and crunchy w/ dressing on it. At first look, I thought the mac salad would be dry and bland, but it was good! The laulau had a lot of pork in it. I was hoping for more luau leaves and a piece of fish, but it was still delicious. My husband had the short ribs and liked the flavor of it. We also ordered a few Spam musubis for our breakfast as we drive back home and was surprised that they make it with two slices of Spam. In summary, if we lived in the DFW area, this would be our go-to spot for Hawaiian and local food.

First time and the food was so delicious! Great portions as well! We tried the Kalua pork, tempura…read moreshrimp, pulehu chicken, and katsu chicken. The Kalua pork is similar to pulled pork and had a nice smoky flavor. The Katsu chicken and tempura shrimp were definitely favorites, but the pulehu chicken was the most surprising with how tender and flavorful it was! Will definitely come back especially if they continue to play Studio Ghibli movies on the TV ;D

They get a lot of online orders so they were busy with that, but I didn't mind because I was checking out the menu. I got the bento box and it was delicious. A large bed of rice with everything else sat upon it, I was pleasantly full afterwards. I grabbed a guava cake to take home and it barely made it home because the cake was DELICIOUS. I love guava and their confection was perfection. I seriously still think about it and can't wait to come back and try it again. I also got the wings, which were crispy and super favor full. I also got to try the butter and pumpk

Alright now, this place is a gem!…read more I work with someone who raves about this place, and I finally decided to try it. Walking in, the young lady at the register was so sweet and pleasant. I had an online order and arrived a bit early, she politely let me know there would be a little wait, and I did not mind. I would, much rather wait, than walk in twenty minutes early to see my food just sitting there. It is a small space, but one that comes with warmth. What I chose: Mixed Plate Teriyaki Beef - The first bite, YES! The meat was seasoned so well, I was afraid the teriyaki sauce would overtake the flavor; it didn't. Both, the sauce and the seasoning complemented each other very well. The beef was thinly sliced and free of fat. I can't stand enjoying a bite, and out of nowhere, boom, a piece of fat. I'm not a beef person, but I'm so happy I tried something different. Hamburger Steak: I couldn't wait to try this, it's delicious! The patty is plenty and well seasoned; it isn't heavily seasoned, but well seasoned. It was juicy and not dried out, which sometimes happens. The gravy was perfect, and went perfectly with the meat patty. Next time, I will ask for more gravy and onions. I love grilled onions with meat patties. With my order, I asked for steamed veggies, but received rice instead. I don't eat rice often, but this is the one time I was happy with the mishap. I had a small bit with the gravy and patty, delicious!! Sides: Mac Salad and Rice - I didn't order rice; instead, it should have been steamed veggies. As I said above, the rice ended up being a great mishap; it was perfect with my meat patty and gravy. The mac salad, sadly, I didn't like. It wasn't horrible, it just didn't hit the right taste buds. Chocolate Mac Nut Cheesecake: I only tasted a spoonful of this, but it was good. I wouldn't get it again, for me, it was too sweet. They do have another cheesecake, which looks like a plain cheesecake, with a sauce on top. That, I will try. Spam Musubi: There seems to be more rice than what I am used to, so I cut it in half, and it made for the perfect bite. This was more than enough food; I have plenty to take to work for lunch and will have more to enjoy for dinner. I am so happy I visited. I will definitely visit periodically for a hamburger steak, and I am anxious to try their panko shrimp. Add them to your list, it is a must!!

There are a few spots around that are Hawaii-inspired, but nothing compares to this. Honestly? Think of it like Zippy's or Grace's Inn, but even better and affordable. #iykyk My husband spent most of his adult life in the islands and ordered Loco Moco (two eggs, two patties, total classic). I went with the Fried Fish and Teriyaki Chicken. The fish was crispy and the chicken was tender. Yum! Every plate lunch comes with cabbage, mac salad, and rice. Broke da mout! Huge bonus! They have a drive-thru. You don't even have to get out of the car to get a quality plate lunch. We will definitely be back. Mahalo nui loa!!

I do not recommend eating here just for this alone. My guess is the juice is just some garbage ass mass produced slop and isn't even organic.
