Vibes were chill inside. The kind man working gave us 2 spoons and 2 chopsticks with our food. This is a broth I won't be forgetting anytime soon.

I stopped into this fairly new, tiny, cute little restaurant…read more There is street parking and public parking lot only 1\2 block away. There are only a few seats lined up against the wall (bar style) and one table of 4. There is a piano too, and they have a sign saying they teach piano. As small as it is the menu is even smaller with maybe 10 food items. But they sell authentic Hawaiian coffees and special grains of Asian rice. Many choices of smoothies & juices as well. Them mango smoothie was a nice size and delicious! I ordered my food to go and had a very short ride so the good was still hot. We tried the Hawaiian Garlic shrimp. Small size was plenty as it had 7 shrimp over sticky rice with some mixed vegetables in a cheesy buttery sauce. It had nice flavor. Also tried was the Hawaiian Ahi Bowl ( poke) which had plenty of fresh tuna with same veggies. Again a small size was plenty. Lastly I tried the Musubi which is a slice of Spam on top of a bar of cooked sticky rice with seaweed paper around it to get it together. Hawaii has been the # consumer of Spam for many years so I had to give it a try. The salty, smokey flavor of the "meat" along with he sticky rice was a good combo, but the seaweed wrap just gave it a slight fishy taste I could do without. I would say to try U'I for a change up for when you are in the mood for Asian food.

Flavors were decent but a bit too overpriced in my opinion. Not enough shrimp and their side of veggies could be switched out to maybe fries or fried spam as this area has a lot of kids/teens. Their beef had a good flavor but was a bit dry. Shrimp was slightly mushy but had a good flavor. Overall the proportions to price did not match up and left me wanting more

Shoutout to her because she let us linger and never rushed us and always has a smile on her face! Service overall is great and our waters were constantly being refilled. My first and I shared: - yellowtail Musubi - scallop Musubi: this was good but I think I prefer yellowtail or a more traditional spam Musubi. - chicken loco moco: I always get this because it hits! It's honestly a lot of chicken and my friends and I never finish. - Hawaiian macaroni salad: I always order this because the portion that comes with the chicken loco moco isn't enough and I always want more. - cabbage: this was on the house and honestly my new favorite dish! I love cabbage

Restaurant week started this week, so ofc I booked my first spot right away…read more Unfortunately... We did not start off strong I was initially looking forward to trying this spot because I never had Hawaiian food before and this spot was featured on Michelin guide. So I thought the food would be We ordered: Iberian lamb chop, (spice rub, watercress, toasted mung bean, nuoc cham dressing) - Ngl, it was ...meh. and I usually love lamb..but to give credit where it is worth, the portion was like an entree so that was nice. Grilled spanish octopus (gochujang glaze, acorn jelly, sesame, crispy garlic, kimchi-pork sauce) - the portion was really small, 2 bites and it's basically gone. Unfortunately, not enough to make an impression on the taste. Peekytoe crab fried rice (smoked salmon, mentaiko, salmon roe) - it was loaded with the ingredients. But also meh. Mochiko chicken loco moco (fried dark meat chicken, rice, fried jidori egg, mac salad, gravy) Best dish of the night. The chicken was fried perfectly, the meat was juicy and the egg was runny. Bruléed hawaiian pineapple (lime zest, 'alaea salt) Not sure what I was expecting.. but it's basically a slightly caramelized pineapple. I love pineapples so I was fine with it. Pineapple upside down cake (cherry sauce, coconut ice cream) Never had an upside down cake before so I was excited to try it.. unfortunately, my impression was it tasted like a biscuit. The coconut ice cream was yummy tho. Even though the food was meh, the staff were really friendly and accommodating. We weren't able to RSVP beforehand because they were fully booked.(It's a small spot) So they sat us at the bar, which made it easier to chat with the staff. And it's cute that the place was filled with Polaroids ( on the ceiling, walls)

There is a high top table for standing if you want to eat there, but it's small. The food is prepared pretty quickly. I usually get the salmon poke bowl, which is good. I've also had the shrimp and kani poke bowl, which has a bit too much spicy sauce on it. I also like the macaroni salad. Wiki Wiki is a solid option in Dekalb. I would recommend.

I was specifically in the mood for a poke bowl, so I went with their Wasabi Shoyu Salmon bowl. That salmon might not look intimidating but trust, the wasabi is there and every few bites takes you aback (in a good way, of course). Serving size was solid and ratios were great. I didn't ask or look into it but I do wonder if there's a way to modify toppings.   Really good meal. This may now be my go-to poke place.

We ordered delivery (can't comment on the restaurant space of service) and it arrived hot and fresh. We tried the make your own poke bowl with salmon and tuna (you get to pick two which I really like), over white rice with edamame, cucumber, avocado, mango, sesame seeds, onion crisps, seaweed salad and the poke sauce (with a side of siracha aiolic) along with the two protein BBQ bowl with beef bulgogi and pork katsu, with cole slaw and mac and cheese over hawaiian fried rice with katsu sauce. The katsu was still crispy and while I don't normally care much for fried rice, the hawaiian fried rice was very good. The poke bowl was fresh with a good amount of fish and again, I loved all of the toppings and things that you can add for free (the avocado is extra). Both bowls were very tasty and good sized portions. Given the quality and quantity, the prices were very reasonable (especially compared to other poke places) and I would definitely order from here again.

Yet another crappy ghost kitchen disguising itself as a real restaurant to an undiscerning public…read morethat doesn't question anything on delivery apps. None of the uncanny AI slop photos of the food ever resemble the actual slop actually being served out of some sketchy nondescript door. There's at least two other fake restaurants besides this one that I've caught operating out of this specific 5th Ave location ("Glazed Hen" Korean fried chicken is another one), but whichever group runs them always sets up the same slate of fake restaurants in the same buildings. 1140 Utica Ave in Brooklyn is another known physical location they operate this scam out of. In the meantime I need for y'all to be a bit smarter when you go on these apps. DoorDash usually labels ghost kitchen junk "virtual brand" in small print on the store page, but UberEats and the rest all lie. If it's a place with a weird name that you never heard of that's delivering at all hours and has a suspiciously high rating on the delivery apps compared to here on Yelp, despite having no internet presence to speak of (no social media) it's a huge red flag. Don't support this scam.
