I enjoy eating here. It has a fun family atmosphere and great food. Parking is on the street which can be a challenge.
The food here is always FANTASTIC. So fantastic that I even took a plate across country, over 2000 miles and ate it for dinner. I always get the combo platter. This time I got the Korean chicken and teriyaki pork. In the past, I’ve had the kalia pig and teriyaki chicken. The macaroni salad is so good! I love that they put a bed of cabbage on the bottom, and it soaks up the yummy sauces and wilts a little. The flavors are so umami and complex. The right amount of sweetness, the right amount of salt, fluffy white rice, macaroni salad that breaks up the salt. *chefs kiss*
Update: 4/25/22I love coming to this place. It's got the best Hawaiian food around. Tonight I ordered the poke appetizer and the combo platter of Kihei ribs and ribeye beef. Came with rice and they're fabulous mac salad... unbeknownst to me they had a back room. Decorated with Under the Sea themes . From pufferfish and glass globes, starfish and fish netting. I enjoyed sitting back there made me Miss Islands..Always great food... Patio seating available when the weather is nice.. kip ching had the ribs and Mac salad.. he loves his mac salad .
I ordered a medium and there was definitely enough for a leftovers lunch the following day. The teriyaki beef was excellent. Tasty and a pretty good value. A combination difficult to find in this post COVID restaurant world
Really great food and a nice space, even had outdoor seating which would be nice in the summer. It’s counter service and they bring you the food in to-go containers, which I actually think is a smart move because their portions are large and you’ll need one anyways, but also that cuts down on dishes which means they don’t have to have as much staff which is necessary for small businesses right now to keep costs lower and the doors open. I respect that. It’s not to say they weren’t staffed, because all our needs were met in that regard, just that I see the advantage from a business perspective. Anyways, good food and a good place to check out.
This restaurant will always be a classic for me, my family, and my friends. We discovered it during our college years and really love the low prices for large servings of delicious food. The employees are nice and very quick getting you seated and to serve food. We never have trouble finding street parking nearby.
The food was great and arrived to the table quickly! I had left my wallet there and the owner met me halfway to return it. Talk about amazing service. I ordered the Teri chicken, and am excited to try their teri beef! They also have musubi!!
My partner and I ordered the teriyaki beef sandwich and a combo platter with korean style short ribs and korean chicken. While the sandwich was good, we did not get the short ribs in our platter. It was all chicken which was very dry anyway. Overall, the platter was just okay, but they either gave us somebody else's order or messed ours up, even after my partner clarified with the cashier that we got the korean ribs and chicken. Which is too bad because the food is pretty expensive.
We dined in as a party of 6. The ambiance of this place is delightful. Very great murals, lighting and gives a distinct hawaiian vibe. All of our food came out at the exact same time and it was all nice and hot. It comes in plastic boxes so it's Easy to take home or eat on the go if you want. Waitress was so nice and attentive even though they were getting a lot of phone calls. My kihei ribs were slightly chewy but had great flavor, and the teriyaki chicken / sauce was delightful. My wife said that her shoyun chicken was the best chicken dish she had ever had in her life. Everyone enjoyed their meals and we even got free cupcakes for dessert, imported from the islands themselves! A little on the expensive side but the portions were hefty. We will come here again if we end up back in Portland!
OMG THIS IS THE BEST HAWAIIAN FOOD IN THE ENTIRE STATE!!! The Shoyu chicken is TO DIE FOR and I usually can't eat very much.... but I finished the WHOLE THING!! I wish I lived closer because this would be my go to restuarant every single night if I could. Everything was cooked to perfection, and the staff are so friendly and nice. They gave us free cupcakes too!! We love this place and highly recommend it to everyone!
