“Mini spareribs (boneless) plate was among their Thursday selections. Mini consists of a scoop of rice, Mac salad and brownie. All the spareribs and sauce smothered the rice, which you could barely see. The meal gets "mushy" if you don't eat it right away. But that's expected when the main dish isn't separated from the rice. The overall taste was good, nothing exceptional. They don't overpower their food with spices, salt or shoyu. The portion is generous; especially, for an $8.00 mini plate. You will have leftovers if you're a small eater. Scoopers is definitely worth the drive if you're looking for a good, plentiful meal at an exceptionally reasonable price.“
“Everything is delicious! Not only delicious, but affordable. May this small little gem of a restaurant always prosper may the hands that prepare these delicious meals have many more years of service to come. I'm not one to take time out to write reviews, but Garden Island Cafe deserves it. Thank you.“
“Three reasons why I decided to try this place. First, the place was packed with customers either ordering or picking up their takeout orders. Two, the menu is huge! They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Three, the place looks as if it’s been here for awhile, meaning people come back.Hawaiian style plates. Various meats, rice, and noodles. Decent to good food. Very good price for the amount you get. Good parking. Located in an old neighborhood.“
“I was roaming around the Waipahu area and yelp search brought me here. The food here was interesting. It seems like mixed local Asian dishes. Ordered takeout: steak plate with noodles, potatoes, and Spanish rice. Food was pretty good. I like the cheese potatoes. Pricing was okay. Not cheap eats but decent food for the price.“
“First time there & last. There's an old smell upon entering. The food took longer than expected. We both had the hamburger steak & the corn on our plates looked awful. The Portuguese bean soup was the worst I've ever tasted & it was visually unappealing. Our hamburger was very hard & dry & my ff could have been cooked longer. Nobody likes white limp ff. I will say the server was very attentive & he had his "customer service" hat on. This place could use an update in decor & food.“
“My husband's place to eat prime rib. He says, "it's the best he's ever had." I've tried some dishes, and everyone was good. But, my favorite is the stuffed salmon with garlic mashed potatoes. Service is always the bomb. Overall, it's just a great place to come and grind. You won't be disappointed.“
