The Kuli kuli chicken was smothered with bbq sauce which is normally fine, but it was way too much. The amount of fat (skin) on the chicken was easily 1/4 of the weight. It was a little salty, but my first time so maybe that’s normal.The Mac salad was good, but too cold. Something to be said about food that isn’t so heavily contrasted in temperature.

Good food but we got 2 lunch meals and 2 cokes, cost $55. That's nearly New York lunch prices.Not many seats if you want to dine in.
Excellent food. Incredibly friendly service. Best Loco Moco I've had since eating at a place in Hanapepe. Just an amazing, perfectly cooked piece of beef with a delicious gravy. Awesome Mac salad. Will be back time and time again I'm sure.

Having just come back from a trip to Hawaii, i find myself often craving Hawaiian food. Luckily this place opened up! A small menu but varied items makes me want to go back! We tried the garlic chicken and teriyaki beef - they were both flavorful! They didn’t stand out particularly so i may not order them again. Service was excellent. Agree with other reviewers in that not much counter space so feels more like a set up of taking to go.They do often have a special that changes listed on their website, which keeps the menu exciting!

Ordered online for pickup for a group of people. The Hawaiian food is good and not unreasonably expensive.
