The interior of restaurant seemed a little dated and dark, but the service and food here are great. So many choices on the menu made it hard to decide what to order. I had the North Shore plate lunch (chicken katsu). Tasty, sweet sauce on the chicken breast, and a generous portion of food on my plate.

Super tasty dishes, I loved every bite I took. Their dishes are all on the sweeter side, but definitely delicious. Do not pass and plan with an empty stomach. I do have to say that upon entering, the establishment is super dark. There should be better lighting to make the space more welcoming.

This place is amazing!!! The service and the vibe just put you at ease. The food is hands down the best island food I've had in my life. I've been away from the restaurant for 6 hours and Im already wanting to go back. This is now my go to spot when I'm in Seattle.

Omg, this was exactly what I needed - just a steaming plate of carbs and meats. Uber comfort food :) we came on a Saturday night and had to wait about 15-20 to be seated, and takeout was estimated the same wait time.I got a lunch plate (everything is served all day) which had an excellent array of 4 different meats, all great, and their macaroni salad was very good - not too heavy at all. Too full for cake today (very big portions) but saw a lot of people ordering them, and they looked great! Next time will come between Sunday/Wednesday to try their other variety meat platter. Also, love how they offer a variety of condiments for you once your food comes too! :)

First time here, great food, great portions and friendly people. They took the time to partition their booths so we felt very safe. Can’t wait to try the Hawaiian breakfasts.

Two thumbs up. So many items on the menu I’d like to try. If you want some Hawaiian inspired food this is the place to come.Both of our dishes we ordered were fabulous and flavorful. It took a good 20minutes for our food to arrive and the portions were a good size. Don’t want Macaroni salad? You can sub for veggies. We thought a Tues night would be slow but they were relatively busy for their dinner service. The place seems like it could use some TLC but it’s still cute and a humble set up.The staff were also great, quite attentive and friendly. Made some great recommendations:) We came here to celebrate a birthday and it was lovely.Ps. They do run out of their cakes so they don’t always have dessert

First time here. Generous portions and friendly staff who uphold high standards to curtail the spread of Covid-19. Breakfast was so good I ordered dinner to go!

Outstanding place for a cozy meal with a friend! The service was friendly and on point. They were careful with COVID precautions, including sanitizing tables in between use, safety dividers between booths, spaced seating, checking vaccination cards carefully, all service members wearing masks and using hand sanitizer often. The food is wonderful, with big portion sizes and authentic taste. The cake is to die for and I'm not usually a big fan of cake! Prices are reasonable and drinks well balanced. I took a little portion of my food home and it was just as good after a day in the fridge.Overall, it's 100% worth a visit for a comforting meal with a cozy atmosphere. I had a great time with a friend I haven't seen in a while!

Great all day breakfast and lunch spot. Will definitely go back!! Lunch platters are excellent, food was really tasty and service was great

Love this place!! Great food, generous portions, friendly waitstaff. Big and varied menu with breakfast and lunch/dinner options. May have to wait on the weekends- they’re also limiting tables due to covid. Waited about 25 minutes for 2 on Sunday at 12:30!
