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.

Overall: 3.3/5 [dine in]…read more We ordered on the kiosk and the food was ready quickly. Mixed Plate Classic ($12.99) + Seasoned Vegetables ($1.00): We chose the Honolulu Chicken, Kilauea Chicken, white rice, and seasoned vegetables. The veggies tasted like frozen veggies and the white rice came underneath the chicken, which we didn't realize until after. Had we known, we would have chosen the macaroni salad as our second side instead. The Honolulu Chicken is supposed to be garlicky but the flavors were just alright. The Kilauea Chicken was way better and had a nice little spicy kick. The white rice was also okay but a bit on the harder side. Additional Teriyaki Sauce Cup ($0.25): We ended up pouring this over the vegetables to give them some flavor. SPAM Musubi Single ($3.79): Not good. The rice was hard and they just poured teriyaki sauce on top of the spam. Skip this one. Pineapple Luau Slider Single ($3.99): It was okay but I wished it was made with Hawaiian rolls. Scoop Macaroni Salad ($0.99): Also just okay. It tastes like a black pepper macaroni salad. You can skip this one too. Mini Twist Soft Serve ($1.99): A mix of blue island wave and pineapple Dole soft serve that is fat free, dairy free, gluten free, and low calorie. This was really good and a great way to end the meal.

Overall: 3.7/5 [dine in]…read more Looks like your average fast food joint but the service was better than expected. The cashier who helped us was really nice and gave off small family business vibes. Ekolu Plate ($18.29) + Teri Steak ($1.99): We got the Da Big Boy plate to share which comes with 3 meat choices, rice, and a side. We went with pulehu chicken, katsu chicken, and teri steak with white rice and mac salad. The katsu chicken was the best, followed by the teri steak, then the pulehu chicken. If I come back I would just get the katsu chicken plate. The teri steak was okay and the pulehu chicken was lacking flavor, though it is probably the move if you are watching what you eat. The mac salad was addicting and did not feel or taste heavy at all. They were also nice enough to let us try all their sauces including teri, katsu sauce, spicy mayo, and yeobo, but none of them really stood out. P.O.G. Juice ($2.99): They charge this as a 22 oz regular fountain drink which is a great deal. P.O.G. stands for passion fruit, orange, and guava and I am not sure if they make it in house but it was really good and one of the best juices I have had in a while.

Hands down the best Hawaiian BBQ in DFW, IMO! The food is ALWAYS freshly made. The katsu is…read moreperfectly crispy, and the teriyaki sauce--according to my husband--is the BEST. Everything else we've tried has been pretty high up there too. Service is super quick, and the guy at the front is always attentive and friendly. The space is roomy, comfortable, and has plenty of seating. The menu is pretty large, but somehow everything is spot-on every time. Definitely our favorite Hawaiian BBQ spot. We come here A LOT, and it never disappoints!

Although there was an employee behind the counter, her responsibilities do not include order…read moretaking. There was a kiosk for that. Even though the employee had yet to interact with me, I am prompted for a gratuity. The photos showcasing the menu items were not helpful. For instance, the photo for the Kalua Combo showed a chicken dish and Kalua Pork. When I was prompted for a chicken item, there were no photos. I could not select the chicken shown in the entree. Unlike the online menu which included Teriyaki Chicken, I only recall BBQ Chicken and Chicken Katsu as options. Fortunately, I opted for the Chicken Katsu. For my beverage, I chose a Hawaiian Sun canned drink. My order was served within 9 minutes. The service already did not match the gratuity. When I asked about my drink, I was pointed to the display case by the kiosk. Sadly, beverage delivery was neither one of her responsibilities nor included service. On their menu, "veggies" was included in various entrees. Veggie would have been a better description as the only vegetable was cabbage leaves. The cabbage was placed underneath the chicken and pork. The water from the cabbage caused the bottom portions of the meat to be soggy. Due to being breaded, the chicken was not as affected as the pork. Of the items served, I enjoyed the macaroni salad the most. It had plenty of flavor. The Kalua Pork which were not soaked in cabbage juice had an okay taste. Not only did the breading on Chicken Katsu provide flavor, it protected the chicken meat from being soggy. While a fork was served with my food, I had to grab a knife from the dispenser. The Chicken Katsu could have been eaten with a fork alone; the cabbage would have been difficult.

They offer a two-meat plate with rice and your choice of a side. I tried the teriyaki chicken and Katsu chicken . Overall, the food wasn't too bad. The teriyaki chicken was pretty good, although I do wish they would've given me more sauce. I wasn't a big fan of the macaroni salad, but the customer service was really good, which is always a plus. The restaurant also has plenty of seating, so it's a nice option if you're looking for a casual Hawaiian meal. Overall, I'd say it was worth trying, but I'm still on the hunt for my favorite Hawaiian spot!

The chicken had a nice little crunch to it and it tasted amazing, especially once you drizzle the sauce on it. Surf and Turf Plate was also delicious - I ordered it with half bulgogi beef and half coconut shrimp. The bulgogi beef was full of flavor and I loved the crispness of the shrimp. All their combo plates come with rice, macaroni salad and an egg roll. The portion sizes were great and well worth the price.

I…read morethink it's kind of crazy to have the entire establishment staffed with only one person to ring up order and make the order after ringing it up. As I'm typing this, I'm still waiting. Who knows when I'll get my order. Meanwhile, let's talk about service and ambiance. This place is casual like a coffee shop/Starbucks vibe but not. Service was awesome. The lady was courteous, patient, and helpful. Got my order at 12:33. It took 25 minutes, which isn't bad for a decently substantial order made to order. I used to make the drive to order from their original location. Unfortunately, this spot is not like their original location. I'm disappointed. We ordered 3 combo plates, spam musubi, and fries. The fries were soft like they were undercooked. Flavor was lacking. Spam musubis were good and about the only thing I would order again from here. The combo plates were pretty gross. It was SWIMMING in grease. By the time we got home, the rice had soaked up a lot of the grease so the rice was all greasy. Still, there was a pool of oil at the bottom of the plate. I tried to savage as much as possible, but the rice just felt like I was eating grease. See pics for reference.

Finally made it in for lunch!…read more I love the decor & vibe! Super cute, family friendly (small play area for kids/games) place!! You order and pay at counter then pick your plate at window to left of register when ready. Drink station in room to right of register. You choose your size plate that comes with rice, chosen protein(s) & a side. We each got a small plate ($12.99) that comes with rice, one meat, one side, & aloha sauce. The HAWAIIAN CHICKEN was delicious! So juicy and flavorful! Rice was good. SWEET & TANGY SALAD was good but average (good choice of lettuce mix. Dressing is like a tangy italian). My Mom's GARLIC BUTTER SHAVED SIRLOIN was the bomb. The MACARONI SALAD is good but needed a little something in my opinion - maybe some fresh green onion on top. The aloha sauce is good. We will be back to try more!

We also ordered the Otai beverage which was refreshing and delicious, but very very sweet. The chicken katsu tasted and looked like what it was supposed to be. The Poke obviously wasn't fresh, but it definitely had flavor. The spam musubi was flavorful and delicious. The teri beef bowl was ok. The bbq chicken was delicious as well, but they kind of burnt the sauce or marinate so it kind of took away the traditional taste of a local bbq chicken plate. The kalbi was flavorful, but overcooked to the point that the meat was pretty tough like jerky. Each plate came with mac salad and a small salad. Overall, a bit pricier than other Texas restaurants. Staff are pretty friendly and they make your food when you order so it was fresh. There are only four dining tables with limited seating. Ample parking spaces.

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!!
