    We came here last week to pick up the family meal deal. It is a good deal and comes with a lot of food (rice, veggie, mac salad and 3 protein) and we also order two orders of spam musubi comes with two pieces in each order. It was my first time getting the family meal deal and compared to another place this one is just ok for the portion. It was just enough for four people. Everything was packaged up nicely too. I do know their mini meals and regular sized meals are very generous portions.

    My dad was craving short ribs and this is one of the closer Hawaiian spots in American Canyon. We came here on a Sunday afternoon for lunch and it was empty, they cook and prepare your food as you order. It wasn't busy and our food came out fresh. I personally like short ribs, the side sauce made it a little more tasty, came with rice and their macaroni salad is just ok to me. My mom go the seafood combo plate which comes with shrimp, fish, calamari, and chicken. It was fresh. I don't think I've tried their spam masubis here but I think it's a competitor to L&L in Vallejo. This location has been here for many years so I'm glad to see it still thriving in this plaza close to super Wal mart. There's plenty of parking! You can also choose to sit outside, there are tables and you can order online, at the kiosk, or online.

    Teriyaki and Katsu chicken

    Surprisingly good for Hawaiian fast food at a fair price. Their traditional style dishes were delicious and it's a nice change from Panda. The service was great and we got our orders in a timely manner.

    Chicken combo: katsu & bbq chicken
    Cindy N.

    It seems this place has gone downhill quite a bit over the years. My son was craving spam musubi and we were nearby so I figured why not. I got him the $9.99 chicken katsu bowl, comes with a can of soda so not a bad deal. He liked it, no complaints. I got the chicken combo for $10.99 +.50 up charge for double mac. Food was ok, but I remember it being better and their cabbage used to be really good, now it's just crunchy and greasy for no reason. Spam musubi was disappointing and skimpy on the spam (Quickly has way better spam musubi) but $5.75 for 2 pieces was not a bad price compared to other places. Service was ok, I like the free lemon water dispenser on the side. I may give this place another chance in the future. Hopefully I was just there at a bad time.

    I ordered the chicken combo. I ordered online which made it a lot easier. You have the option to opt out of the standard two scoops of rice and one scoop of Mac and change it to whatever combo you like to all rice/Mac or half and half (additional pricing based off of choice). I did get more bbq chicken than katsu which was about three thighs of bbq chicken to the one in a half of katsu chicken. The sauce they give you isn't much at all. It's half of the standard to go size of most restaurants and they weren't filled to the top. Their teriyaki sauce wasn't my favorite and wasn't really sweet. I didn't like it at all so I didn't even bother with it. Although the chicken thighs were juicy and flavorful enough I didn't need a sauce. Katsu sauce was better.

    Loco Moco - actually got the hamburger with gravy but was gifted hubby's egg. Best hamburger and gravy around. Ono

    My favorite location for authentic delicious hamburger steak with gravy. Unlike other local spots, the gravy has a nice consistency and flavor. The hamburger patty is hand formed and not pre made. As of today they have closed the dining room, but are serving to go orders. You can use your smartphone or their tablet on the counter. There are a few tables out in the patio.

    Hilo doors locked and closed without notice during open hours. Hours posted on google are also different from what is known currently.

    Garçon, will you be bringing back your hamburger steak and loco Moco? Yours was the best in the area. Best hamburger (hand formed) and best gravy. So sad to see it off the menu. Can you bring it back?

The staff were very nice and on top of it! Getting in orders and helping us out with what to order and how much to order for our group size. So that was very helpful! Very on top of water and refills on drinks as well! The food was amazing! The appetizers were so good! Some of the best lemon pepper wings I've had so definitely check those out! They offer ramen and fries on their appetizer menu so that's different but very cool. The meat itself was fresh and well marinated and very good They offer really fun and different alcohol drinks to try out as well so worth looking into when visiting The only thing would be some of the tables don't have vents directly over them, so you might get smoked out by the table next to you. Not a big deal, they're pretty on top of grill changes and may only be for a second The have high ceilings so most of the smoke goes straight up but in our case came over to our table. Smelled good though The price is reasonable and they even offer sushi for a up charge so maybe that's worth checking out on another visit! All in all great kbbq spot! Good selection, good food and drinks and nice people Will be back! Highly recommend
