They took my order very long. I had to wait 30 mins.

BEST PLACE EVER. I went with my friends for the first time- not long ago, and since then that's the only place we ever go to. The food is spectacular. The service is magnificent. And the atmosphere/music is so welcoming. There's no doubt; this place is my favorite!(Tip: Try the shaved ice!!!)

Delicious food, speedy Doordash delivery. I ordered the Laulau and a Spam Musubi. Excellent and friendly delivery service by a staff member.

This restaurant has been here for years and has a huge take-out business. I enjoy this restaurant and have been coming here since 2010. Sometimes parking can be a challenge in the attached parking lot. But plenty of parking awaits just across the street. The staff is very nice and works to accommodate dietary needs if you have food allergies. The setting is low-key with little ambiance but good Hawaiian food. The portions are generous and the prices are under $15 for an entre.

I've been to several hawain restaurants in the bay area and this is just the worst. I had their teriyaki chicken and it was so dry it sucked the moisture right out of my mouth. It was what I think is chicken breast that is tossed in a cheap watery teriyaki sauce that doesn't stick to the meat at all with literally NO flavor. While everyone else is actually marinating their meats and using quality sauces and cuts of meat these guys are serving garbage. Avoid this place and drive 20 min to get to several good quality spots in San francisco instead.

I have been here twice now for take out. Delicious. High quality ingredients, excellent flavor, and reasonable pricing. Lucky to have this place here in Marin. Will surely be a regular customer. Thank you.

Amazing food! Macaroni salad is ? and so is the Hawaiian bbq chicken plate I had. Came with the Mac salad and white rice. Hefty portions for sure..definitely didn't leave hungry. I woulda taken a picture but I ate it too fast ?.Parking: Free parking in the evening but costs some amount that I don't know during the day

Ugh, they used to be good, never great, but consistently good. I wouldn't exactly call it Hawaiian food, more like teriyaki and such with one spam item. Ate here recently and the chicken tasted old, nuff said. Time previously my steak tasted old. Service is odd... it's super small inside yet they don't seem to recognize you are waiting. Give it a try for yourself... maybe I'm too picky. I want to like this place as it's walking distance from my house, I just wish they'd pick up their game.

I have always frequented this place since I was a bit younger and it's always been as delicious as the first time I had it. Had come back to town from vacation and was so happy with the amazing service that I remember. The staff is so friendly and attentive and the whole vibe when you sit down is amazing. Nice and relaxing.

Raw rubbery chicken Katsu. Had to throw it away. Sad! Thought I found a new place for the family. Nope!
