Fried saimin with Teri beef is the bomb. Generous portions not salty, meat is super tender and sauce so onolicious. Will go back definitely. Great choice BF!!

My go to for fried noodles and teri beef, spareribs but Roast pork was a bit salty. Over all was good. Always a take home for their apple turnovers

Food was great and got my order quick. Very good prices.

We just happened upon this gem by accident and were amazed by the quantity, quality, and value. We had the spare ribs, Teriyaki Chicken, and pineapple freeze and they were huge and tasty. They had an additional two scoops of rice and noodles that came standard with the $14 meal. Come hungry.A few things you need to know. All the locals call ahead because it takes a while to make your food and there is no where to sit. If you order at the window, expect to wAit 20 plus minutes. Those who called ahead picked up their orders and walked away. Way better plan!!Also there is no seating. This is 100% take out. If you must wait, be prepared to stand in the limited shade or in the full sun (another reason to call ahead!) Also, they will keep calling your name to pick up your order when it is ready even if you call ahead. It seems to really bug them if you call ahead and are not there when the food is ready. So call ahead 15 minutes or so ahead of when you plan to arrive, and not more. There are no heat lamps I could see and your food will get cold if you wait too long.Despite the drawbacks, this is the best place to eat on the island. You won’t be left hungry or broke. And the food is as good or better than places that charge 2-3 times as much. Well worth the trip!

Portions are big. They were under staffed, no one available to take orders. The food also takes a while to make, we waited for 20 min for 2 plate lunches. The noodles were only ok... it didn't have much flavor at all... a little disappointed after all the reviews.

love it always da best noodles ?

Your employees upfront. The ones who represent you. Unorganized and dysfunctional. I made a phone order. Waited 20 minutes when one woman ran around like a chicken without a head on. She brings my phone order and I give her a 20. Ten minutes later I am looking for her at the opposite window asking for my change. I commented to her...looks like the manager is off on saturdays...can tell.

Stopped here for a quick bite. Ordered a cheeseburger with fries, and a vanilla pineapple swirl ice cream. The food did not disappoint. The workers were nice and courteous and the wait wasn't too long. The prices were worth it because that was the best authentic cheeseburger I've had in a long time! Definitely recommend!

Before the pandemic, great food and service. Since, missing food, rude employees. The new management needs help. I ordered beef stew and was given- rice, noodles and Mac salad- no stew. That's 2 times in a row.

We grab some take out. It was easy and quick. Very popular we went in the afternoon for our dinner. It has been a few years since my last visit.The wait was pretty quick their was 5 >10 people waiting.?Once we got home we dug in.The food was so delicious, plentiful and priced right. The service was friendly. Highly recommendSorry no photos...
