"I've been going here for years for both takout and dine in. However after the pandemic its been takout only. The food has always been good and the service too. My go-to plate is the island white fish. But the Loco moco is good too."

"Good customer service both upon entering and leaving. Food is good for bbq chicken but the short rib tends to go on the dried side and more fat. Overall it was good first time experience"

"Being from Hawaii it was not the best but it was pretty close. We ordered spam musabi and they were a little dry. They dont cook the spam the same as in Hawaii with the sauce but still good."

"A typical Hawaiian Food, a nice BBQ meat + rice + macaroni & cheese.. I suggest you to go for their BBQ Chicken or BBQ Short Ribs, as I think it's very nice.. It's a tad sweet, but not too sweet.. And the Short Ribs especially is very soft, which is nice.. I don't think the Beef is nice though, the Beef is slightly below average.. The price is a standard price, you can get a full meal at $8-$12.."

"The prices are reasonable and the food was good! I ordered the BBQ chicken and I was impressed by the flavor and the quality of the chicken. It wasn't dried out but was nice and moist. Exactly what I would want. The macaroni salad was okay, It wasn't the best hawaiian macaroni salad I've had, but it wasn't worse either not a whole lot of flavor to it . The service was really fast like within 2 minutes. The atmosphere was typical small busness resturant. Nothing elegant, but functional and clean. Yes, I would recommend it."

"Shop is kept clean, the lady working there is incredibly sweet and helpful, and the food taste and quality is excellent. Was looking for this shop on Google but it was giving me a bad address. The shopkeeper told me over phone where to go. Furthermore when I came back to work and gave my team their lunches they said out of the Hawaiian Grills they've been to, this place is the best in terms of taste and quality. We will be coming back as regulars!"
