I ate here the day before I flew back home to Hawaii (3/28)! I ordered the Honey Sesame Katsu Plate and it was so good! Very fresh, crispy, crunchy. And the sauce that came with it was so flavorful. It tasted sweet and a little spicy.I also wanted to order Ube flan but they sold out since I assume they're very popular. I was recommended the other flavor (Pandan). It looked like a bright green color with the pudding and coconut on top. This was so delicious and not too sweet. The cake on the bottom was so soft and moist, it melts in your mouth.I'm originally from Oahu and this place hits home. To the vibe, the food, and the people that work here. You can tell there's aloha spirit not only in their cooking, but with their service as well. Mahalo. :D

Really great menu. Food tasted good. Prefer the Hawaiian buns a little softer.

Everything was delish! Great location. A must try if you're in the area.

First time here and definitely coming back. That Pork Belly Grilled Cheese…..literally devoured in seconds. It was so juicy. Ordered a second one. Coming back soon.

My chicken katsu was rubbery. Seemed like it was left in the freezer too long, definitely not fresh. The quality of rice is poor too.

I love their spam grilled cheese, their chicken katsu, and their mac salad. They are basically a Hawaiian "plate lunch" place with a unique twist. Like they top their rice with green onions, sesame seeds, and some kind of sauce (teriyaki?). This is a really great addition to the 4th St Market and a must-try.

This place is super good! The chicken katsu is great. Highly recommend.

Good afternoon people eatswitheddie is back @fakasislandgrill in downtown Santa Ana. I’m at the @4thstreetmarket eating this belly pork cheese sandwich. Meat is tender and so cheesy along with waffle fries. Nice little snack when you are in the area. #belly #downtownsantaana #dtsa #pork #waffle #fries #cheese #santa #ana #eats #eddie #food #bread #hawaiian

I celebrated my birthday this evening in this great restaurant. Well we passed a fantastic evening and the restaurant was clearly one of the reasons for the outstanding evening. The stuff helped in a splendid way, the meals were tasty and my friends were so glad. We shall absolutely visit again for more celebrations. Thank you very much.
