A reliably tasty Hawaiian bbq spot, this location has quickly become one of my favorite dinner…read morespots in downtown Berkeley. I would definitely recommend the chicken combo- it comes with two types: deliciously crunchy panko-crusted chicken (meat tastes fresher than L&L Hawaiian) and teriyaki chicken. Meat portions are generous, and can easily be enough for two whole meals. Food also comes really quickly (~10 min) and the staff have always been nice when I've visited. All in all, a great spot for yummy protein at a reasonable price.

I'm not that hard a sell on Hawaiian plate lunches, but I can tell the difference between…read moreexceptional ones from the ones that just cut the mustard. Actually mustard might be a helpful condiment to offer to address the blandness of the food here. I'm not saying it's bad here because it clearly satisfies the student populace who obviously need sustenance to make it through their midterms and finals. For me as someone many years from my undergrad days, however, my point of reference relates to the plate lunches I could find on Oahu. Using that point of comparison, I suggested to Jamie W that we give it a try during one of our weekend Berkeley walks. Jamie ordered the $14.99 BBQ Chicken & Beef Combo Meal. It was a hefty portion suitable for a growing post-adolescent. The meal came with the requisite two scoops of rice, one scoop of macaroni salad, and steamed cabbage underneath the meat (Photo 5). He pronounced it middling when it came to flavor satisfaction. I went for the $13.99 Hawaiian BBQ Beef Bowl. It came with the same sides, and the satisfaction level was comparable (Photo 6). Listen, if I was young and running late to my study group, I'd be so in.

The interior is clean, minimalist, and spacious. The employees are nice, and the service was fast! I ordered Chicken Katsu with all Mac salad for an extra $1.

The veggies were blanched to perfection. I'm already thinking the next time I'm gonna come here! Definitely a gem!

a chicken katsu that measures out to two meals, great deal alert!…read more so I have been here many times, tried the chicken katsu, hawaiian bbq chicken, aloha bbq chicken, and white island fish, which is about half the menu, and always great and always filling so a chicken katsu comes with two scoops of rice, one scoop of mac salad, a small bed of cabbage, some steamed brocolli, and three crispy and juicy pieces of chicken. There are two dipping sauces, a plum based katsu sauce, and a soy sauce hybrid. The katsu sauce has a little bit of heat, but mild enough that my SO whom normally does not eat any spicy, can handle it. Which ever combo or item you pick, it's outstanding. Because the items have a lot of food, I usually skip the appetizers. So for either lunch or dinner, you have two meals out of any items. Service is great, I usually order on the phone and pick it up, but ordering in person or online is fast, staff is great and friendly. the decor is simple and the place is very clean. There are about seven tables and parking can be limited when the place is busy.

I love the Tiki Room at Disneyland and this goes right along with that vibe, except no singing. We ordered many "Tidbits and Pupus" to start us off, it almost meant no room for dinner. But our dishes were so good, we miraculously grew a second stomach. I had the Tuna Poke ($24.50) and the All-In Fried Rice ($29.50) for my entree. My friends loved their Madras Curry ($30). Great service throughout and then I got a Free Snowball dessert for my birthday. ($10 value) We also ordered the Decadent Chocolate Cake ($17) to share. I highly recommend this place for a fancy night out!

Well balanced with vegetables and a nice lightly tangy sauce. The calamari has many vegetables fried together. Crispy and lightly crunchy. However, it was a bit on the saltier side for me. Finished it off with the Hawaiian cake and it was delicious. Torched marshmallows on the outside with a big scoop of ice cream on the inside, with a base of an ube cake. This dining experience was excellent. Also fascinating to see the open kitchen in the back where all the chefs are busy curating an excellent meal. I would suggest to get reservations otherwise you could wait up to 45 mins on a weekday (like I did)
