    This food was delicious! My wife and I got the tempura shrimp as an appetizer and it did not disappoint at all. The tempura was crispy and the shrimp tasted good! We got a grilled chicken breast and Hawaiian short rib plate and a crispy shrimp plate. The chicken was moist and delicious and the short ribs were amazing! I wish I got more of the ribs. My wife loved the crispy shrimp too. And the combo of rice and macaroni salad was over the top. With a promotional deal, they gave us two free drinks too! We will definitely go back. The crew that was working was extremely nice and friendly. And the overall shop was very clean.

    WOW! Food is amazing! Went here during their open day and got the chicken teriyaki plate, bbq ribs, spam masubi and it was delicious! The kids ate the spam masubi with the dipping sauce and that was so good. They absolutely devoured it. The chicken and bbq ribs were really good. The portions were huge and I loved the mac salad it comes with! Will definitely be back!

    New place just opened in Norco. Went on their grand opening Day for their BOGO deal combo plates. Took them both home for myself and the family to try. Everything was delicious! The seafood mix combo, I highly recommend if ur a seafood lover like i am. It has shrimp, white fish & scallops. The BBQ mix combo has chicken, beef & short ribs. All combos come with Mac salad snd rice. They also sale outside of hawaiian bbq items things like lumpia and boba drinks. Pretty large menu, even a small portion item menu for kids. The place is a bit small with tables to sit at but if busy, be prepared not to have an available table to sit at. There is one table for 4 outside in front. Service was good and the staff is very friendly. Depends on how much food you order, does take some time with everything made fresh here.

    Service was quick and very friendly! The store was very clean, has a handful of tables if you want to eat there. I got the bbq beef mini meal and fried gyoza. The gyoza were crispy and tasted fantastic. The beef was great, and I enjoyed the Mac salad as well. Will definitely be back!

    Chicken Katsu Mini Meal

    I went on the first day they were open. It was a little chaotic because their card machine wasn't working yet. But the staff was super friendly and the food was really good. I got the chicken katsu mini plate and it was plenty of food (I couldn't even eat it all). My daughter got the BBQ chicken plate. She said that was tasty as well. I live nearby and will be a frequent customer.

    This food is very similar to Aloha Stacks in Irvine. This food was amazing!! I feel the Loco Moco…read morewas better here than Aloha Stacks. The rice was cooked perfect, spam and eggs and well, but the gravy was the star of the show. So tasty and went perfect with everything. The Island Chilaquiles were super yummy as well. Everything was cooked to perfection and the rice was a nice touch. Again, both similar to aloha stacks. We got the mango smoothie and the iced Hawaiian coffee. The mango smoothie tasted very fresh and not too sugary. The coffee was pretty basic but had a nice touch of cream on top There is indooor and outdoor seating and you order at the counter (nice and helpful people) and they bring it to your table. It gets busy so go early!!

    Ordered for pick up and appreciated that it was ready fairly fast. I would recommend this over…read moreordering and eating there. The parking here is a little tough, there's plenty of parking but they're also next to a starbucks drive through so watch out for that if you park in that 1 way lane. It's a bit disorganized inside for pick up. I was told to wait around the corner, but there's no space as people are exiting from paying at the register. It got a little confusing and cramped. Ordered chilaquilies - 3/5 would not recommend ordering for pick up as the chips get soggy fast. Other than that it was okay, plenty of pork. Corned beef hash 3/5 - solid nothing crazy Oreo pancake 3/5 tasted like you'd expect. It's a decent brunch spot, but gets super packed with tough parking. I'd go back at an off time, but it's nothing crazy.

    There's like 3 businesses in Rodeo X and clearly this is the crowd favorite (unless people don't…read morewant beer super early on a Sunday brunch/lunch). Plenty of parking in the plaza since it's huge, but it can get quite busy (mostly looks like people for Starbucks and the grocery store though). Rodeo X was mostly empty when I went, hopefully it picks up because man that was sad to see. Maybe food halls weren't the answer to the economy (looking at you Haven City and Blossom Market Hall amongst others). Anyways, there were 2 families there and another person ordering to go and they all had food from Shootz. Really says a lot about how it's a crowd favorite. There was no line when I ordered and they called my name to pick up my order fairly quickly. I believe they have an app, or the very least you can order ahead of time for pick up. For my lunch, I got the: 1) Mint Peach Limeade: -No ice or sweetness adjustments, I got it as is and it's from an ever flowing machine at the front next to the register. Similar to those machines that cycle through lemonade at Hot Dog on a Stick. Got this immediately. -Not bad. Like slightly milky sweet peach drink with a subtle mint after taste. Pretty unique, the reason why I immediately resonated with wanting to order it. 2) Kimchi Butter Katsu Chicken: -I got this spicy. -Comes with 2 decently sized cut slabs of chicken katsu. Super juicy, deliciously crisp exterior. Covered in their signature kimchi butter all over the chicken and their rice. It was to the point where I JUST picked it up and some was already coagulating on the edge of the to go box. -Mega indicator of how rich and indulgent, and likely not healthy for you but delicious as a fried food treat once in awhile. -Generous portions of crisp green onions and furikake on top. -Each bite was rich and delicious. Usually rice is just a carb to help with the savory and salty intake of a protein, but it was also made really addicting with the kimchi butter. There's a slight kick from the spice, but nothing substantial. Some of that spicy powder was also on top of the mac salad (also rich and delicious). -Easily lots of butter, mayo, etc. used so of course it's going to be mega good. I had to stop myself from inhaling the dish so I can take some back for my family to try too. Good stuff, I'd definitely come back, probably with others, hopefully at a closer location to try more of their menu (it's limited but they're super good at what they do) and eat more of their deliciously decadent and filling food.

    The good: The best katsu chicken I've ever had!! (They also have shrimp but I haven't tried it)…read more The sauce is great and the rice is perfect. Large portions. The cashiers and workers are nice, work hard, and the food comes out fast. It seems like most of their business is online ordering for pick up. Everything behind the counter and in the kitchen was spotless. The not-so good: The restaurant is located inside a food court and there are no signs outside the building that name the restaurants that are inside. We had to turn on Maps to find the location. I'm not sure if the tables inside are cleaned by the individual restaurants or are cleaned by a food court employee... but we had to check for sticky tables when trying to find a seat. The Mac salad has tuna in it. It's not to my liking but my husband really enjoyed it. I highly recommend splitting a combo plate(s) with your favorite person and try to avoid leftovers. The reheated katsu and rice just isn't the same as when it's fresh.... So even with having to check the tables - I do recommend eating at the food court for the freshest and tastiest experience
