    Grilled Mahi Mahi Plate ($18)
    Wendi K.

    4.5 Stars We ordered takeout from here for a lunch meeting, and I was impressed by the thoughtful packaging featuring dividers for the various components of the mixed plate. The online ordering system makes is very easy to order and has lots of options for modifications. The Grilled Mahi plate ($18) was exceptional. The tender Mahi was enveloped in a rich, spicy, and creamy sauce. I chose to substitute extra macaroni salad for the rice, and it was both luscious and delightful. Solid!

    Kalbi and chicken
    Meralina M.

    This place serves up some amazing food full of flavor! The portions are pretty decent as well and the service is quick. The kalbi is a bit thin but they provide a decent amount of it! I personally don't think the side of cabbage adds much, but that's just me! Overall really substantial portion sizes :)

    Came to support them cuz they were robbed again on May 11th!

    On May 11, 2024, Buddha Bruddah went on social media to lament they have once again been broken into overnight - at both Kirkland Kingsgate and Kenmore locations on the same night! We changed dinner plans that evening to get takeouts from their Kirkland eatery, which is takeout only. The restaurant was cleaned up and business as usual by evening time - except for the plywood for a door, which is still there two weeks later. We phoned in our order when we started driving there. The wait wasn't too long. They have only one small bench to wait for orders. More chairs would be nice. The inside is a mini grocery store in addiction to the ordering counter and a fridge for desserts. They also have a table of tiny cups of sauces with a scale of spiciness. Service was friendly, though low-touch. The Food: Fried Chicken Garlic Basil, $15 - 4 Stars Served with mac, slaw, and rice (which I sub'd for extra slaw at no charge), fried chicken thigh is mochiko battered, topped w/ tamarind glaze, fried garlic/basil. The chicken is very tender and flavorful. I was having (too much) fun sampling all the sauces, mixing them with the slaw, and dipping chicken pieces into them. I don't know what the original flavor is! Regardless, all the sauces made the food tasty and a different taste with each bite, if I wanted. Kalua Pork Loco, $16 - 3.5 Stars Instead of the normal loco moco, this version using Kalua pork as the protein, topped with house gravy, fried eggs, furikake. Hubby said it was tasty, but he kalua pork, possibly because of the gravy tasted too salty. I also questioned the too-pink color of the pork (see photo), but he said it tasted fine. He hasn't been ill two weeks later, so I guess it was ok. We told our in-laws about this place two weeks ago, who live minutes away. They have ordered the family sized mix plate - twice! So, I am rounding the overall rating up to 4 stars.

    Garlic Fried Rice, Buttermilk Fried Chicken Katsu, and Loco Mocos - yummm!
    Marcie S.

    We were pretty stoked to find out there's a Hawaiian spot near by and when it came time for a take out dinner we both agreed to give this place a shot, and I'm glad we did! Our order was ready quickly and was fantastic. As close to authentic as you can get outside of being literally in Hawaii. We had an order of the Buttermilk Fried Chicken Katsu and the Garlic Fried Rice for the kids and two Loco Mocos for my husband and I - the portions were very generous and we all happily shared. For as simple of a concept, I feel like Loco Mocos are hard to perfect. They are either delicious or they are nasty - and these were absolutely delicious - the meet was perfect, they gravy was well seasoned, and they egg was the perfect texture. The mac salad was one of the best I've ever had. We'll be ordering from here again - highly recommend!

    Absolutely disgusting and I gave this place 3 tries. Didn't order for over a year so I was thinking maybe its better now! The chicken was as hard as a rock had to be days oldthe flavor was a cross between ketchup and burnt! Entire dish was dry including the broccoli! Cole slaw tasted like soy sauce! I cannot fathom the good reviews on the website! Everyone has a different pallet but they should be ashamed serving old dried up flavorless food and 3 different occasionsim in utter shock and believe me im not one to blast restaurants but when its this bad people need to know! The pics dont do justice!

    Huli chicken

    This place is close to home so I decided to finally check them out. I been to their Seattle location before so I knew what to expect. The decorations was pretty cool in my opinion, it reminds you of a mini outdoor market in Asia. They have thes rice bag hanging on the wall as decorations hahaha The people here was pretty nice, I ordered my food online, and came 20 minutes early, but they were nice enough to make it on the spot for me so I didn't have to wait. Food wise: portion is very generous Fried chicken with garlic basil - Xtra slaw no rice --- the chicken was delicious l, good flavor, soft but crispy Huli chicken Xtra slaw no rice --- the meat was little dry in my opinion Both came with one scoop of macaroni salad and some cabbage slaw. The macaroni salad was peppery and creamy. I didn't care much for the slaw as it was literally just cabbage, the dressing was very light. I also grabbed a container of sambal to try and it was definitely too vinegary for my taste. They have assortment of sauce laid out with description of each one for you to try Overall, food was a 3 star for me but service and portion increase it to 4 star

    Decent photo of what you see walking inside. This is take-out only. No dining in. Its our first time. 40% of their menu has GF available!!
    Julienne P.

    Note that this is take-out ONLY. You cannot eat there. Check out the menu that I took a photo of since its the easiest way to check out the menu, especially if you are gluten-free. 40% of their menu is GF!!! We would return. We liked it but did not love it. We ordered a ton of different dishes to try it the first time since we love this type of food but can NEVER find it GF. We didnt find the coconut shrimp very good - just ok. Most beef dishes were a 4 out of 5 It is worth trying for yourself since I think we were being a little more picky than usual. The staff was amazing. So friendly and so happy to help us figure out the menu. They also have a mini market were you can buy some related food items. If you are in the area, give it a try!!

    I love Hawaiian food, and Buddha Bruddah was the next stop on my search for good Hawaiian food in Puget Sound. I came here for dinner with a friend around 7pm on a Thursday, and they were pretty busy with takeout orders. I ordered the huli chicken and hawaiian beef combo, and the food came out suuuper fast, in a matter of minutes. The combo comes with 2 scoops of rice, some slaw, and a scoop of mac salad. I opted to substitute one of the scoops of rice with mac salad instead. Their mac salad is definitely one of the best I've had in this area. I also liked how they were very generous with the sauce, whether it be over the meats or the rice, cause the huli huli chicken definitely would've been a bit dry without it. The slaw was probably the worst part of the meal, it was kind of bitter and I feel like it would've been better if there was some dressing for it. They also have a table inside with a bunch of different sauces that you can pick from - they have a sign in front that describes each sauce and the relative spice level. I'm terrible with spice, so I opted to try the 2 lowest star ones (I think crying tiger and I forget what the other one is called). The sauces were really, really salty - not sure if they accidentally put too much fish sauce in this batch. Overall the combo came out to be around $24, which I thought was reasonable given that portion size was generous and it was enough to last me two meals. There's no seating here, so not the best spot to catch up with friends over food, but definitely a solid spot for Hawaiian food.

    Huli Huli Chicken and Beef Combo
    Crissey Y.

    This was our first order from this restaurant. We ordered from Uber Eats. It took too long to receive our order. We were hungry and almost finished it all. The presentation was good. However for almost $50, we didn't think it was worth it with an average of $20/plate. From what we ordered, we enjoyed the Smokey Huli Huli pork best. The pork is tender but too dry and couldn't eat much of it. The chicken was tender and tasty. It tasted like a glorified teriyaki chicken with more robust flavors. The beef was a bit tough for me. The macaroni and lettuce simply had lack of taste and bland. Finally, there was a tiny little hair mixed in with my macaroni which grossed me out. Sadly, it's not memorable enough for me to repeat anytime soon.

    Rice Bags as decor is so cool!
    Chris P.

    We've come here twice and the food is outstanding. Great spice levels if you're into that kind of stuff, with authentic, rich flavors. We ordered the Mochiko, Spicy Sesame Chicken and the Garlic & Basil, all of which I would highly recommend. Their self-serve Chili Sauces are awesome too. Try em all, but I love the Prik Nam Pla, a flavorful Thais chili and fish sauce based chili sauce. Delish on a dish - and a lot of it! Staff is always great and this place has cute decor (rice bags galore!), but unfortunately no indoor seating so we had to eat in the car. No worries, the food is worth it!

    Delivery review In…read moreshort We finally started to satisfy our craving for kimchi fried rice, and theirs is excellent, as is the soup. A little expensive, but they have good specials. You really taste the spice if you ask for it. In long We've been talking about kimchi fried rice for 3 weeks, and finally got an order in. We're trying to cook at home more these days, but we opened the app and we were total suckers for the special. It was just a few bucks off, but when we built the order, it was 2-for-1, so we have an awesome pile of leftovers now. Showed up fast, still plenty hot. Kimchi fried rice Awesome chewy texture, great spicy tart kimchi flavor, savory fried egg on top with extra seasoning just on the egg. We got our 2-for-1 on the rice, and the portion is pretty big, so we will get at least 4 servings out of this. Tofu mushroom soup Ordered 4 stars, and there's actual noticeable kick to it, which not every place does. Excellent flavors. For $25, 2 little cups doesn't seem like much, so if I see that 2-for-1 again I might put it in on the soup instead of the rice. We're trying to think of delivery these days as a rare treat, and this place more than met the mark. We had a dozen other dishes in the cart before we could make up our minds, too. The whole menu here looks great.

Yet, it's disappointing to say that we've been sourly disappointed the last 2-3 times we came here. Not sure if it's management change or something happened, but Nakagawa lost its magic with us. 1. The service has been terribly slow and just not inviting anymore. After ordering, we waited easily 35-40 min for the food. I know it takes time to meticulously prep rolls, but after 30 min of just sitting and waiting, you can't help but start feeling hangry. And this isn't just a one-time occurrence - this happened multiple times for us. 2. The bento box quality. I LOVE bento boxes - it was such a treat to dine on so many different Japanese options, like a sampler box of goodness. Ranging from nigiri to sushi, from tempura to the soup, bento boxes have a special place in my heart. Yet, I feel like Nakagawa's bento boxes have sadly missed that mark. The protein (chicken teriyaki/katsu) tastes old and oddly mushy, and the portions are quite small, just leaving me wanting more. Don't get me wrong - the fish is still good. Solid place for seafood, paired with a lengthy wait. But Nakagawa just lost its touch with us, and driving that 30-35 min trek is not worth it for us anymore.
