I got spam and eggs over the garlic fried rice, hubby got Chicken Katsu with Mac salad over the fried rice. Welcoming staff - service was great. The plaza itself is a little run down but that adds to the charm of the place. Its ambiance is a surprise hole in the wall that's worth the stop!

We tried Julie's Kitchen and overall had a good experience. It is run by a husband-and-wife team,…read moreand the lady there was very, very friendly. The service was good, and that really stood out. The food was good overall. The kids liked the katsu rice and the Spam musubi, and the loco moco was good too. The lumpia was a little different from the small traditional kind I'm used to, but it was still good. My sister did not like the poke, but her husband did. My sister said it was a bit too salty for her, but that just came down to personal taste. Overall, it was a warm and welcoming spot with good food and kind service. I would definitely come back.

They put a little too much sauce and there was burnt rice so it was older and had been in the rice pot too long. The pork egg roll was decent. It also came with mac and cheese which was just ok.

Nothing but good words for this family-owned Hawaiian restaurant located in downtown Colorado…read moreSprings. We stumbled across this place by complete chance after noticing some people eating outside the restaurant and telling us how good it was. We decided to pop in and order a small kalbi plate and some drinks. The kalbi was super tasty and authentic. Made me feel like I was eating back home in Honolulu. It was so good, we decided to come back the next day for brunch and had the mixed plate with kalbi, garlic shrimp, mac salad, and white rice. Also had some drinks and a spam musubi. The owner came out and introduced herself to us as well. Just as I thought, she too was from Hawaii and told us that all of the pictures hanging up on the walls were taken by her on the west side of Oahu. Since this place is so tiny and easily missed, I would make it a point to visit this place in the future. Wonderful staff, Ono grindz, and a very happy customer :)

Delicious foods on everything we tried from Kalbi, garlic shrimp, macaroni salad, spam musabi…read more Compared to authentic Hawaiian foods I tried in Honolulu this Roots cafe did very good job on the authenticity. Prices are reasonable for CO and you can pick smaller plate version for cheaper price which I really like. Service is good & fast. The owner who came from Oahu is very friendly & explained to us on her family operation. The atmosphere decors with all Hawaiian pictures, Hawaiian music & moving beautiful Hawaii scenery on the TV. I thought I went back to Oahu when I stepped into Roots cafe. Definitely will be back when I'm around Colorado Springs downtown.

This has become one of our favorite "go to" restaurants in Colorado Springs. Yes, it's a chain,…read morebut going there always transports (and time travels) me back to when I lived in Hawaii so many years ago. Just walking in and being greeted, seeing the Hawaiian decor starts the experience. The ladies working the front are always so kind and helpful with taking the food orders. And you can see the chefs through the window working so hard to keep orders flowing. The food is always delicious. I have not had a bad meal yet and we've been 10 to 15 times over the past couple of years. We love the fried shrimp, Korean style chicken, Loco Moco, and Chicken Katsu. But always the macaroni salad!

I was pleasantly surprised to see L&L when I came through town. I came by and got a small (one…read morepatty) Loco Moco. That was really good. I'd probably order an extra side of gravy in the future. The macaroni salad was average which is about normal TBH. The spam musubi were kind of average as well, perhaps a little dry / stingy with the teriyaki.

Coati Uprise is one of my go-to spots for literally everything drinks, dinner, and fun nights out…read more I've been here for casual meals, solid cocktails, and nights like silent disco that somehow turn into core memories. The food hits, the drinks are always on point, and the vibe is unbeatable, lively without feeling chaotic. Whether you're grabbing dinner or staying out way longer than planned, Coati Uprise always delivers. Easy place to love and even easier to keep coming back to for a good night out.

Lots of good food options: tacos, ramen, juice bars, etc. The great thing is the food you order will be predictably satisfying. Basics will be met. The average side is the prices at every stall and the bar are about 20% higher than they should be, esp for a serve-your-self market vibe. In sum: cool, expected vibe, not really any wow factor, but if you have an itch that means good people vibes, open space, live music potential, this place will get the job done.

Update #2: I spoke…read morewith the owner over the phone regarding the dry chicken, and she was very kind and understanding about it. She told me she had already talked with her staff yesterday and agreed that the chicken was dry, and said she would fix it. I really appreciate businesses that take feedback the way she did instead of getting offended when the feedback is genuinely well-intended. Thank you so much! Raising my review back to 5 stars. :) Update #1: I feel bad having to drop a star, but I've noticed a consistent issue lately. Whenever I've ordered the BBQ chicken, it's been really dry/overcooked. I genuinely love the flavors here and the value is great, but the doneness of the chicken can make or break the dish. Please consider adjusting the cook on the chicken. When they're cooked properly and stay moist, it's an amazing meal. I really want this place to keep being one of my favorites, but this has been hard to ignore. Original review: I've been to Hafa Adai a few times now, and the food is delicious! I especially love the BBQ chicken and the dipping sauce that comes with it. My only complaint is their hours - they're a bit awkward. My husband doesn't get off work until 3, but they close at 3 on both Wednesday and Thursday. Plus, they're closed three days a week, which makes it tricky to find a good time to go.

Once mixed together, the yolk coats everything into a delicious fresh dense bowl that's deeply satisfying without feeling too heavy. The crispy calamari was a great, light, crunchy meal. The octupus pieces were thick and paired well with the sweet chili sauce. The breading wasn't distracting but rather adding to the flavor. The thai chili salmon plate was bright and fresh, with a nice balance of glaze, greens, and noodles. Overall, higher quality for lower price. We will be returning. Cocktails were just as thoughtful as the food -- vibrant, fruity, sweet, and beautifully presented. If you come here, order the Seoul Bowl. It's comforting, flavorful, and easily the standout dish on the table
