As a local, I have to say, I was rather disappointed. First off, when I order a cheese burger, I typically expect them to come with lettuce, tomatoes and onions (usually) but not here, I literally got two buns with a patty and cheese.I believe they actually forgot about my order. I ordered my burger and then went next store for a smoothie. I got my smoothie, after standing behind 2-people and still returned and had to wait a while for my burger. They seemed a little confused in the kitchen. I actually think they forgot about me and rushed to get the burger out.Additionally, when my order was finally ready, they handed me my burger wrapped up..... but that's it. No bag, not container, no paper towels, Just the burger itself handed to me.Needless to say, I will not be eating here again. The burger wasn't good and the presentation was just very sloppy.

Best Chicken Katsu by far. Yum!

Hidden gem in Kailua. Delicious options for lunch and dinner (breakfast is not the best). Great prices and serving size. Decor and speed of service could use a little work but the food more than makes up for it. Visited multiple times even though I usually never go to the same restaurant twice on vacation. Their Mochiko chicken is a must try Hawaiian food.

The girl behind the counter was super nice and the food was great! I will definitely be back!

So, out taking care of some errands and get a little hungry. I stop here and I'm glad I did. A huge selection of choices. Not very busy but it needs to be. The food here is delicious. I ordered the dumplings to start and got the Shrimp with Black Bean Sauce. Dumplings are very nice sized. Cooked just right. Now that shrimp and black bean sauce.....hit it out the park!! I mean it was really tasty. Service was good. She is very nice and the chefs did a great job. Highly suggest you come here . It's all cooked fresh so there is a little wait for you food. Well worth it

Ate here two days in a row, everything is fresh and hot, with a great taste. Small location, but big flavor.

If you're visiting Kona, skip the boutique and tourist shops and go here for actual local breakfast and lunch. You will get so much amazing food for half the price.Orange chicken, Chicken Katsu, loco Moco are my top pics.

Had their garlic chicken and it was delicious! Portions were as expected and the chicken was flavorful as well - very spicy and garlicky chicken! Plenty of sauce at the bottom too to dip your rice in. Macaroni salad was so-so.

Very good everytime. They're nice and fast. The best salt&pepper fish I've ever had! Everything is good ?

The food here was hot and pretty good. Loco moco was good. Food came out fast. Tons of items on the menu.
