The food and service were amazing. We took ours as carry out but it did not disappoint. It’s been years since I’ve tried this place but was incredibly happy with the quality, flavors and diverse menu. The charred beef was ?, incredibly flavorful and tender. The mochi chicken was different than I’m used to but it was still incredibly tasty. The flavor on everything was ?? , chefs kiss. I really enjoyed the pad Thai but my partner wasn’t as invested in that dish.Staff was polite, helpful and very friendly. As I picked up my order they asked if I needed any utensils or napkins, I declined but she very kindly and playfully invited me to check out their sauces.The vibe inside is chill and welcoming. We will definitely be back to try some other dishes in the future.

Absolutely incredible food! The Huli Huli chicken and ribs is out of this world and so is the Kalua Pork and ribs! The coconut cream pie is to die for! The staff is so friendly and so nice and they have great recommendations if you aren't sure on what to try. The atmosphere is amazing and very inviting. Can't wait to go back and try the shrimp. If you're in the area, this gem is definitely worth stopping for!

This place is on a sketchy side of Rainier Ave. the Windows have been broken out and filled with press board. This place is most excellent! The food (wide noodles) are perfect! I’ve only had this food last year delivered when I had covid. Loco Moco. Yup. This place is legit and I fully give it a recommendation. Help them out and sit down.

Best Hawaiian/thai I’ve had in the PNW. Unreal Kalua pork and incredible hot sauce options

Purchased food from the Bruddah Truck during a Zoo Tunes concert, and despite the apparent heat inside, their team remained exceptionally friendly, positive, and quick. The chicken and spicy pork dishes were delightful, with the pork offering a satisfying taste, though not overly spicy. Additionally, their sides, including slaw, macaroni salad, and rice, were incredibly delicious.

Really enjoyed the short rib huli combo. The short rib was great and the chicken was fantastic. Decent mac salad and cole slaw.

Delicious food, friendly and helpful staff, and a very comfortable atmosphere! I had the huli chicken/Hawaiian grilled beef combo plate and everything was very well seasoned and I feel as though the food was a good value for the price.Parking: Parking lot was behind the restaurant, ample parking during the time we visited.

Second time ordering for delivery from this place and it never disappoints. Our order came to us fast considering that it was a Saturday evening. My husband and I really loved the flavors and the portions of our combo orders, which came with two scoops of rice, slaw, mac salad, and generous amounts of meat! One thing we would like to mention is the quality of the grilled chicken: it was perfectly tender. Not rubbery or overcooked at all.This is my first choice of Hawaiian food if you're in the Cap Hill/Beacon Hill area. Definitely worth the $$!

Friendly staff, quick service, and yummy bites! We had the coconut shrimp, veggie spring rolls, and the Huli huli chicken with short rib combo. It was the perfect amount to share between two people. Everything was fresh and delicious, including the macaroni salad included in the meal. The establishment is decorated beautifully. They even have a “ready to go” sauce station with a menu above that describes what each sauce is made of. Parking available behind the restaurant. Can’t wait to come back!!

Love the vibe here - the staff is always chill & friendly, it's clean and smells like the delicious food they're cooking up right behind the counter. Food is simple and delicious - a big plate of tasty sides, flavorful well-cooked meat with plenty of sauce on the side to spice things up. One mixed plate is enough to fill you up right, but leave room for dessert if you can! The Chocolate Haupia Pie was a fabulous finish to a fantastic feast.

This place used to be a rare treat for us, but now the quality has dropped the past few years. Tastes somewhat better than a standard teriyaki joint : ( but 30% more expensive.

Wanted to have a night in with some good Hawaiian food and this place hit the spooooot. I ordered delivery so I can't comment on the service or the restaurant itself, but the food was delicious! I ordered the huli huli chicken and kalua pork combo, spring rolls, coconut cream pie, and a guava nectar drink. The flavors on the huli huli chicken were really good, I wish it was a little juicier, but I'd honestly just chalk that up to delivery. The kalua pork was so tender and good, had a smokey BBQ-y taste to it. I'm usually not a huge mac salad person, but I INHALED the mac that came with the meat, it was great. The spring rolls were good, always a classic. The guava nectar drink, great. I think the coconut cream pie was my favorite part of the meal. You get a little mini pie that I wish was actually a giant pie. The pie crust is so good and hgggngh the pie itself is so flavorful and creamy and not too sweet. Definitely a new favorite spot, I'd love to eat in next time!

My biggest problem with this restaurant is at the end of the meal when I asked the employee how to despose of the plastic containers, she said they were all compostable. I took some leftovers home, so when I checked out the containers are made of plastic 5pp which is not compostable (or even recyclable here anymore). So they are sending tons of noncompostable plastic out in the compost as a practice. Great! (Eye roll) thumbs down for any kind of sustainability practices.This “restaurant”- the food is mediocre to terrible depending on what you get.I got phased see ewe, it was ok. I wouldn’t order it again, but I would eat it without sending it back or complaining. Imbalanced flavors and too much soy sauce probably.My friend got the curry, it was terrible! Had I gotten his meal I would have returned it. It didn’t even taste like curry.I also ordered to go the coconut prawn meal, I regretted it by the time I got my for-there meal. When I got it home it was as bad as I had expected. The coconut prawn has no flavor, they serve with a from the bottle sweet chili sauce.I went to this restaurant by chance on my way to another Thai restaurant down the street. We stayed because the stars were higher here, so that’s why I’m writing a review to hopefully bring that rating down. This restaurant shouldn’t have higher than a cumulative 3 star in my opinion. I will not eat here again.
