I would eat here again and again Food was delicious despite the semi-run down feel of the place. Chicken Katsu was just as good as my wifes!!!If the place was a little cleaner, it would get a 5.0 for sure

It makes me so sad to write this review since this place has been a family staple of mine since high school!We ordered takeout today and our Poke bowl was not fresh at all, the dressing was changed (this used to be our favorite dish here) and everything had a strange, almost rancid aftertaste.The Kalbi plate had ribs that were all nearly burnt. The only saving grace was the rice but that was about it. I truly hope we just caught them on an off day and this isn't a regular standard for their quality!There are much better poke places around that are make-your-own that are much fresher than this, but for now we won't be coming back. I'm heartbroken.

I wanted to try the ono plate but got there too early so they were only serving breakfast. I ordered the longonisa and eggs. To my surprise it was way better than Lola's by MFK.

This is my family's go-to when we visit OC. This is one of the few places in SoCal that serve meat jun just like they make it Hawaii :)It's a casual spot where you order and then sit. Staff has always been friendly. The plaza is nice and lots of parking. They also have a clean restroom.We love their kalbi and chicken katsu, always freshly cooked. Their garlic rice and mac salad taste just like in Hawaii too. I really like their glass noodles, and they are very generous with the servings.

Lunchtime. Monday special ..... Teriyaki Chicken with Veggies & Glass Noodles (sai-foon) over Rice with a Drink. All for $6.99 (save at least $5). There is enough food to get full. Leftovers? Just a small portion. Small enough to finish eating, or take it home & get 3-4 spoonfuls of rice & whatever you brought home from above mentioned items. They have an open drink dispenser, so you can drink as much as you want then refill it to take it with you.THIS IS A GREAT DEAL!! A MUST HAVE if you're hungry for simple Hawaiian style food with a drink to wash it down.Aloha, Mahalo, Happy Eating & Fight On!!

Weekday dinner, a few people dining in but adequate seating. Ordered the lava plate and chicken katsu. Lava plate come with beef, chicken and spicy pork. All the meats were marinated well and delicious , you have the option to choose a side I went with rice and Mac salad. It comes with so much meat that I wanted 2 scoops of rice instead of 1.The chicken katsu was pretty disappointing. It was dry and tough. Some pieces seemed like they were fried twice as the sides were dark instead of the white chicken. I would skip chicken katsu here as go with the marinated meats.Overall a decent place, we had 1 good plate and 1 disappointing plate.

Back again for another tasty Hawaiian meal. This time I ordered the chicken bowl with extra veggies and glass noodles. Super yum. I also got their Hawaiian punch as my beverage of choice and it was surprisingly good and not too sweet. I like coming here because service is good and ambiance is good too. They have a screen with videos that shows views of Hawaii and its surfing. Just currently their dole whip machine is down, so I wasn't able to get any sweets but hopefully it will be fixed soon!

Slightly below average. Tried the musubi with spam, Poke salad, and Combo coco. All were below average. The staff was friendly and helpful though. Nice outdoor seating.

Another great experience here! We enjoyed our favorite platters, the grilled hawaiian chicken with vegetables and adobo pork omelette. We were promptly greeted when we walked in, the staffe friendly and inviting. Our food was served hot and delicious!! Highly recommend, if you're in the area, you have to try the hawaiian chicken!! Other notes: the restaurant was found clean and tidy, including the restrooms. As usual, thank you for your hospitality and great service!! 5 STARS!!!

If you enjoy Hawaiian bbq and have had it often, then you will like this place due to the food meeting your expectations - the usual filling portions, popular macaroni side, well seasoned protein, & sauces. The service is good. I got the chicken katsu with vegetables and macaroni. I do not know why (seriously there is no obvious reason), but I for some reason didn't try this place for so long in case it would be bad? It's clean and looks normal, but I think Hawaiian bbq is hit or miss so I was nervous. This place is good though. No complaints. If you're hungry, just try it.
