The food here is affordable and the portions are great! I got the furikake chicken bowl, which was around $10. They really load it up with chicken and rice. I didn't taste a lot of furikake in my chicken, but it was still good overall. The plaza has lots of parking and the service was quick. If you are in the area, I recommend stopping by.

I ordered the meat Jun and furikake chicken combo plate with Mac salad which I enjoyed. However, the furikake chicken had a lot of pieces that felt like just skin or batter, only a handful of pieces that were real chunks of chicken. Mac salad was good. Meat Jun was about average. My mom had the kalbi and Korean chicken combo plate which she was not impressed with. She thinks it might've been overcooked or refried. She says she would not order again. Also should note that the seafood menu is not fresh caught, if that's what you're looking for. Otherwise, for the prices it's worth a stop!

The salmon and tuna were all very fresh and everything was very well seasoned. The names are very accurate in describing the poke flavor. Our favorites were the salmon poke and the slippery Hawaiian poke, saucy and great balance of savory, salty, umami, and a bit of sweetness. The wasabi poke had a very very strong wasabi flavor, so be warned! We also tried their ube lemonade and Mac salad. The ube lemonade was a nice purple color, but it didn't taste much like ube and the lemonade didn't taste fresh either. The Mac salad was a bit too creamy and dense in our opinion. So we'd skip these but definitely get the poke + rice bowl!

We started with the Kaulua pork spring rolls. Melt in your mouth. The service was superb from when we first walked in to when we left. Warm, attentive, and friendly.

Sit in the backyard/patio and you'll feel nature all around you and Hawaiian music in the background. In this day the weather got a bit darker and cool, so we sat there looking around taking in so much beauty. It was so relaxing! The menu had variety and the prices very reasonable. We had the veggie burrito, fish and chips and bbq sandwich. Everything was fresh and delicious. Too bad they didn't offer alcoholic drinks because I was really craving a Big Wave, but it's ok since I they did have local coffee. The lady kindly served it in a to-go cup and off we went.

Pro tip: When you make your reservation, ask for a table with a view. Otherwise, you might find yourself in the "VIP section"... which apparently stands for Very Important Passageway--right by the exit. We started with the hot wings, and wow... the house-made sauces were fantastic. They had just the right balance of flavor and heat without overpowering the wings. The real stars, though, were the handmade Italian noodles. You can tell the chef puts genuine care into every sauce--each one tasted thoughtfully crafted, full of personality, and made with a lot of love. We paired them with an Italian Chianti that was a pleasant surprise from their modest but well-chosen wine list. It was an excellent match for the pasta. That said, I kept eyeing the Rutherford Cabernet and now wish I'd gone for the big Cab! The bread was a little on the stale side, but the excellent olive oil helped redeem it. In an area where many restaurants seem geared either entirely toward tourists or entirely toward locals, Social Club strikes a really nice balance. Great food, friendly service, and a relaxed atmosphere make it a place we'd happily return to. 4.5 stars from us--and next time, we're requesting that view and ordering the Rutherford Cab!

Sautéed swiss chard was nice as well and gave us some much needed veggies while on vacation. Definitely a really good spot for a nicer dinner! Would recommend if you're staying in the area.
