Super waiting staff. Super clean top to bottom

Friendly staff with speedy service. Let me preface this and say that I cannot comment on the food too much because maybe my Californian taste is different from what these different foods offered and I did not really enjoy anything that I tried. I tried the Hawaiian, mixed plate, and saimin bowl. They were all edible and the bowl was probably the better of the 3 but all in all the food seemed bland.

We had excellent service. Plenty of seating around 10:15 on a Saturday morning. Spam and eggs for my husband included four or five slices of spam! A lot unless you are a die hard spam lover. His hash browns were cooked well. We both had eggs and they were fine as was my English muffin and papaya. We will be back to try some of the more local stuff like the Saimin, fried rice or tempura. Pleasant atmosphere.

Loved, loved this restaurant! The food is delicious and nicely priced. We ordered a variety of dishes and they all tasted amazing; The Kalua pig, Yakitori Chicken and the famous fried rice are a must try. The food isn't heavy or greasy which is nice because you don't feel tired after eating. The inside is very clean and so are the restrooms, the staff is very welcoming and the cooks had the food out in a short time. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

Local Hawaiian Diner. It was recommended to me by a local. The food was good. I loved the ambiance. Very friendly wait staff who were eager to explain the local dishes and had such pride in their dishes they served. If you want a simple diner that just feels local and that you are supporting local businesses this is the place for you.

We ordered 1lb Lau lau and Loco Moco. Lau Lau was really good with lots of flavors. Food was served fast and service was friendly.

Great food, large portions, fast service. I had the Loco Moco and took some home.

Love the great food here!

Good food and lots of it.

Today I brought nine family members, eight over 60, oldest 86, I was told I could not sit on end of table in order to feed my 83-year-old wife who is unable to eat unless spoon fed. They insisted on telling me how to feed her from across the table, since this was a family meal before family left the island and my treat we stayed, my wife and I did not eat because we were only allowed to sit side by side.
