Sugoi

No trip home is complete without making a detour to Sugoi's for their legendary garlic chicken. Seriously, they've perfected the garlic flavor--it's like they've bottled happiness and served it on a plate. Over the years, their spicy garlic chicken has become my undeniable favorite--it's got that perfect kick and flavor that keeps me coming back for more. And the generous portions? Let's just say one plate is a two-for-one deal. Meal now, meal later. Winning. And let me tell you, I never touch mac salad, like, ever. But somehow, Sugoi's managed to convert me. It's tastier, creamier, and just...better. I'll happily fork it down here. Other honorable mentions? Their salmon, mahi, and chicken katsu. It's a buffet of greatness.The only downside? Waging war with the chaos that is Dillingham Boulevard thanks to the rail construction. But hey, for that spicy garlic chicken fix? I'd brave a traffic apocalypse.

One of the guys at our office makes a run down to Sugoi's to pick up bentos for us every so often. As it was Tuesday, the large bento was on sale for $17.75 + tax. Three of us ordered the Korean Chicken bento while others ordered the salmon. My bento contained furikake rice, a split hot dog, a piece of BBQ meat and four or five large pieces of Fried Chicken and a slice of takuwan. I suspect they use pieces of Mochi Chicken or Garlic Chicken because I tried a piece before pouring on the sauce that was included. The sauce made it Korean (style chicken) and made the rice so tasty I had to eat all of it. It's a substantial meal.I ate half for lunch on Tuesday and the other half on Wednesday. For me, that came to less than $10/day, a deal in today's environment. Recommended!

Ordered 100 combo bentos for a funeral reception. It included Garlic Chicken, Mahi Mahi and Teri Beef. Bento tasted okay but not amazing. Chicken was a bit on the dry side. Mahi Mahi was ok. The Teri Beef was pretty good. Was expecting better but overall satisfied. Owner was accommodating to let me order & pay after they closed for the day. Free delivery all the way to Mililani. There is 3% extra charge for credit card transactions so better to pay in cash for large orders.

Chow fun is not your typical okazu ya flavor profile. More like slight yakisoba sauce flavor. They give lots of chow fun but for a $20 plate I would rather have another piece of chicken. 2 pieces of chicken.

Some friends recommended Sugoi for their Garlic Chicken. We had to try it out.Sugoi located in the warehouse district close to Young's Fish Market, Kamehameha Bakery, etc. Side of Chicken (Crispy Garlic) [4/5]. This is what "they are known for!" The food took several minutes to fry up. It was piping hot and crispy. There was juicy garlic sauce in the box. The boneless skin-on chicken was juicy and that fried skin...yummy.Several tables for you to dine in.The service was super friendly and nice!We found a new place. Come support local.

Unfortunately I want to give them a better review but with the lack of staff I am sure they are suffering a lot. I give them two and a half stars. The garlic chicken lacked sauce. A lot less sauce is given. The flavor of garlic isn't wild like how it used to be. I don't know if they changed their menu but I missed that. The noodles were decent and had a decent amount of ingredients inside. It seems like they just need people and they had a help wanted for cook help!The ambiance is the same as always and the service was good! I will return to try it again because I miss the old sugoi flavors!!

Came here to pick up some lunch for the boys. 8 plates deep and it did not disappoint. Had the garlic chicken/ hamburger steak combo, large garlic chicken bentos and regular garlic chicken plates. Everyone agreed the plates and bentos were huge and worth two meals. Service was fast with the phone order. Inside was nice and clean with place to sit down and eat. Prices went up for sure, but your paying for two meals if that helps.

Oh my goodness. This place is the best. Portion size and taste is sooooo good! I always get the spicy garlic chicken plate and I'm never disappointed. The flavor and tenderness of the chicken is always on point. Our order was also super quick! The uncles at the cash register are also very nice. I always come here when I come back home!

Lunch from Honolulu, Hawaii...My mom seems to prefer dining at home nowadays. I'm often searching for places with takeout and good food. I've heard of Sugoi's, and many of my friends have been there. I thought that I should try it for myself!Shared parking with popular restaurants such as Kamehameha Bakery, Young's Fish Market, and Pancakes & Waffles Kalihi can be challenging at peak hours. Fortunately, I arrived right before Sugoi's closed and parked right in the front!Service was efficient and polite. While I waited for my order, I walked around outside because it was a bit warm inside. Maybe the dining area in the next room has better air-conditioning? It was closed off for cleaning as the shift was almost over.I took the containers of Garlic chicken and Hamburger Steak to mom's house. Both entrées were delicious! The two scoops of rice and Mac salad were included. We weren't able to finish our meals!

One of my favorite spots for a great garlic chickens. Today was more so a 3.5* as 1 of 3 chickens was over cooked and dry. Still their garlic chicken sauce packs a punch of garlic with just the right notes of sweetness. If you want to kick it up a knot h, go with the spicy version which packs a wallop of red chili flakes for heat. They also have an awesome fried rice, which you can upgrade on any plate for $2 per scoop. It's packed with hot dog and fish cake, and a small sprinkle of some added Portuguese sausage and chair siu. They are great for bentos as they also have e your normal fare of plate lunch choices.
