We got: - lychee Bellini - POG cocktail - 2 glasses of Riesling - yellowtail Musubi: this is my friend's favorite - unagi Musubi: this is my favorite! - chicken moco loco: a must order - side of macaroni salad: they was on the house because I normally order this, but we weren't too hungry and the chicken moco loco also comes with macaron salad - chocolate Sundae: the ice cream is at the bottom under the whipped cream. I liked the graham crackers (on thinner side) because it added right amount of crispiness. There isn't really any chocolate but rather these gelatin chocolate pieces at the bottom, but I wasn't really feeling that. But overall I can't say no to ice cream! Everyone was lovely!! Service is great as always We chatted with Acadia and Pye came by to say hi to me and to give us our dessert. It really feels so nice to be remembered and chat with familiar and friendly faces which is why I keep coming back.

Got the grilled octopus, lamb chops, mochi fluke, mentaiko spaghetti, azuki bean brownie and chocolate haupia sundae. The execution on these dishes were amazing. Tremendous job on the cook for all components. The vegetable pairings and choice of garnishes were excellent. Portions are a bit smaller for the price point, but still left full Service was also really quick. Staff were all really friendly and attentive to our needs. I had a reservation ahead of time as well. Space inside is on the smaller side, but cozy enough to have some room. Handful of tables available and some seats at the bar. Restroom available as well. I would love to try other items on the menu for next time. Every dish that came out wow'ed me. Very impressed!

They have many menu options ranging from preset poke bowls, to make your own, combo meals, and mini meals. Drinks are about $2.50 a piece, and a wide variety of Hawaiian Sun, casual soda. I was tempted to get the mini meal since I don't eat a lot, but I ultimately caved and decided to get the combo meal since I wanted to try the Kailua pork too. The verdict? The Kailua pork was a little too salty for me, it comes mixed with like cabbage or lettuce, and overall very mushy which I didn't mind. However the Chicken Katsu came with a bbq type sauce and everyone thought the sauce was delicious. My fiance ordered the bbq mix which included the bbq chicken, beef, and short ribs and I thought the beef was so yummy. The portion size was big. All the combos come with either 1-2 scoops of rice and macaroni salad. My meal was pretty perfect for 2 whole meals for me. I ate the katsu with my leftover rice for breakfast the next morning! The food comes in takeout containers which makes it very easy for you to take to go if you don't finish. I might have to come back and try the poke next time...

The menu had mostly Hawaiian options to choose from. The pricing was very reasonable as well. I had the customizable poke bowl ($15.95). There was a number of different options to choose from with different proteins, toppings, sauces, etc. I had a base of brown rice with avocado, cucumber, sweet corn, edamame, mango, ahi tuna, spicy mayo, ginger, wasabi, jalapeno, green onion, and cilantro. This was nicely done. Everything appeared fresh and it was a good size portion. I would have just liked to seen a little more ahi tuna present, but besides that, very pleasant and filling. I also had the spam musubi ($2.95) and a side of macaroni salad ($3.95). The musubi was okay. It was a little dry. There needed to be more sauce present. The macaroni salad was a heaping portion, and it was tasty. There looked like a lot of mayonnaise present, but it was not too overpowerful as some type of sugar seemed to be incorporated to balance it out. Regardless of what it was, the salad was flavorful. Will I go back? I would.

BF said it was interesting but I loved it since I grew up eating spam in the Philippines. Lol. Place is casual, you place your order on the tablet, pricing is reasonable. It's located in a strip mall with adequate parking.

Only 3 negatives: #1 - The online ordering system sucks if you like to customize! #2 - They aren't open late! #3 - They need to bring back the punch cards for rewards!

What more can be said about this friendly neighborhood Polyn-Asian restaurant? The food is fair --…read moreroughly on par with your favorite local Chinese takeout spot -- but the food alone isn't really the reason you come here. Walking inside feels like stepping into a themed Disney or Times Square restaurant, just without the inflated prices, and that atmosphere adds a fun calming charm to the experience. You're probably not going to get a "knock your socks off" meal or world-class service and the cocktail menu can feel a little mysterious, filled with drinks you may or may not recognize. Still, no matter what you order, some fruity and alcoholic concoction will appear at your table, and chances are you'll enjoy it even if you're not entirely sure what it is. At the end of the day, it's just a great little spot -- perfect for birthdays, family dinners, kids, or simply a fun night out.

Honestly really cool interior, water falling over the rock walls and tiki huts for booths. Just once you get to the food it was underwhelming. The chicken in the lo mein had no flavor along with the chicken in the soups.

Dumplings 8/10 The complimentary wonton chips were nice to snack on while we waited. Chips 9/10 Then the entrees. Once again the chicken in the lo mein was bland and boiled. The pork lo mein was basic and not better than a take out spot. The flambie steak platter was insanely disappointing with what described as a filet mignon truly was a 2 ounce flank steak on top of a salad of over compensating bok choy to account for the lack of meat in a tangy sweet sauce. The other Hawaiian steak platter was also disappointing for other reasons. With this platter there was a whole steak served on a cast iron with bok choy all over, probably still compensating for the lack of steak on the other plate, but no flavor. The sauce this steak was served in had no flavor, the bok choy had no flavor, the other veggies had no flavor and the steak had no flavor.

What an unexpected bright spot in my day!…read more I stopped by Pokemoto and ordered the Signature Hawaiian bowl along with mac salad, and everything was fresh, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying. As someone who spent two months in Hawaii, I have a soft spot for Hawaiian-inspired food, and this meal definitely brought back some great memories. The atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed. I brought my laptop and spent some time working while I ate, and the vibe was perfect--comfortable, clean, and inviting. The owner was especially kind and made everyone feel welcome. You can tell there's genuine care behind both the food and the customer experience. One of my favorite surprises was the complimentary Dole Whip-style frozen pineapple dessert. I wasn't expecting it, and it instantly transported me back to the Dole Plantation in Hawaii. It was the perfect sweet finish to a delicious meal. The decor was cheerful, the staff was friendly, and the food was fresh, light, and full of flavor. I also appreciate that there are plenty of options for those looking for gluten-friendly choices. I'm not from the area, but this is absolutely a place I'd return to. Great food, great people, and a genuinely positive experience from start to finish. Highly recommend!

When I first arrived, I was taking a look at the menu on the wall to get familiar with it. I had questions for the woman working behind the counter and she seemed confused when I tried explaining.

Next time I will probably do an online order to see if there are more ways to customize a bowl.
