The Kalua pork and the teriyaki chicken were my favs. The mac salad was delicious and the pineapple coleslaw was really good! I was pleasantly surprised by the coleslaw, actually. Rich, sweet, light and crunchy all at once! The portions are huge! I have two meals easily. Definitely the best Hawaiian I've had in Salem!

This new location is much larger than the original and has inside seating with tables for about 20 patrons. The inside decor is clean and hip with custom-made neon lighting. Their is ample parking at this Commercial Street strip mall, right across the street from Washman Car Wash. For this take-out order, I ordered a plate of Shoyu Chicken with Macaroni Salad, and for the other plate, I ordered the Kalua Pig & Cabbage with Sweet Corn. Both plates were large portions that tasted great and filling. Excellent job in keeping the food quality consistent.

The service here is good, but what stands out to me is that I feel like I am sitting down to a family meal! The restaurant itself is on the smaller side and on busy nights, expect them to be full. When it is busy, the sound level is good - we did not struggle to communicate with each other, which surprised me due to the size of the room. There looked to be another space through some doors, but I didn't adventure back there. The food is delicious and you can tell that the chef has spent quality time ensuring that his execution is great. I have ordered numerous dishes, the pork and chicken are excellent, however the spam musubi left something to be desired. If you are in the area and in the mood for some Hawaiian food, stop in, you wont be disappointed - just be sure to check the hours first as they close between service periods some days.

Also ordered an extra side of mac salad which was added into the plate rather than the side but was a significant amount.

Regardless, the chef gave me and my girlfriend a totally unexpected side of mac salad which is huge. Definitely a returning customer!

I really enjoyed the sauce for the Katsu, I added a side of Kimchi. We also ordered the Small Kine with Shoyu Chicken with rice and Mac. The serving portions are decent size.

Didn't pick up the phone multiple times an hour before close, audibly complaining about getting customers 20 minutes before closing (a full drive through when you're supposed to be closed would blow their minds).

Dude with the curly hair/beard/sultry voice was awesome though please don't be mad at him, blame the evil lady... I'm never complaining about West Salem Hawaiian Time ever again.

By the time my uncle and I made it over to 'The Yard' Mr. Tukufu had already sold most of his food, it had apparently been a very good day for him, understandably so. Nevertheless, we ordered some leg quarters and he kindly obliged despite appearing to be worn out from the long day. When we came back around to pick up the food I was shocked at the size and weight of the take out bag that was given to us. Mr. Tukufu had certainly hooked us up and when we got back to the hotel we had an absolute feast. I am confident in saying this was the best soul food I have ever had. You could tell it was made with love and sincerity. Thank you to Mr. Tukufu for being so generous, it was not lost on us. We look forward to seeing him again the next time we are in Salem.
