I've been to Hawaii many times but I usually stay in tourist areas, so I don't get many chances to venture out and try local food places. But this place absolutely hit the spot. Service was standard and we were seated within a few minutes. Considering it was lunchtime and it looked like a lot of locals were there, the food came out pretty quickly. The ambiance was clean and reminded me of a modern cafeteria. We had poke, short ribs with brown rice and mac salad, mochiko chicken with white rice and mac salad, and the Hawaiian loco moco. The poke was so good and so fresh. Hands down, some of the best local food around. Highly recommend this place as I will definitely be back!

I don't know if it wasn't mixed right, or was just plain old. Laulau was small and dry. Kalua pig was good, but tasted a little old. Lomi salmon was good. The poi was like 2-day old, thick, dry, and sour. The haupia was little funky, solid, and grey. The white rice was brown and old. The loco moco gravy was super dark and chunky, the meat paddy tough. The mac salad tasted like detergent (like they never wash the pot good). Felt like everything we was eating was Sunday leftovers. The cashier was super soft spoken, and quite frankly she didn't seem to know what she was selling, or just plainly could not hear or understand her.

This place is basically sensory overload in the best way. You walk in (after waiting outside in…read moreline) and there are so many things to look at and choose from that I completely understand why people say to know what you want before you get to the front of the line (and the line wraps completely around inside the tiny little space inside. It's part seafood market, part, part plate lunch spot, and they have SO many things besides poke. There are musubi, bentos, fried chicken, fish patties, shrimp, sushi, noodles, and all kinds of other local goodies. The line can look intimidating, but it moves pretty quickly. The poke is obviously one of the big reasons people come here, and there are a ton of varieties to choose from. The spicy ahi and crunchy garlic ahi are especially popular, and the mochiko chicken gets a lot of love too. We did like the mochiko chicken a lot! This is definitely a grab it and go kind of place rather than somewhere to sit and eat. I can see why locals make this a regular stop because you could come here several times and still have plenty of things to try. My favorite turned out to be the poi mochi!

They cooked it perfectly (well-done and don't hate me!) haha. It is the juiciest burger I have ever had. However, I feel like the fries serving looks a lot smaller than the last time? This meal is over $22 so I would hope to have the fries at least fill the rest of the empty space in the to go container when in fact, the fries looked like less than a handful. The next time I visit, I'm definitely going to try something else.

I used to go here all the time to get my filipino food fix. Unfortunately they closed the Kalihi…read morerestaurant and now have to make the drive out to Waipahu. If you have never been here I highly recommend you trying their filipino food. Portion size is good and worth the money but the main reason you're buying their food is cause it's winnahs. I did take out a few of their menu items. Their special for July is lechon Kawali, pancit, pork gisantes and pork adobo fried rice. It's good to get this or mixed plate with 3 choices. It allows to try more of their menu selections. While one is good 3 or 4 is much better especially if coming here for the very first time. You won't be disappointed. I called in to place my order and it would be twenty minutes which is fine cause that's how long it took me to get there. The food was hot and ready to go. I made sure my ac was off so I can enjoy a nice hot lunch. The place was crowded even at 1pm. People know good food when they eat it. Lots of parking. The lechon Kawali was good. It's nice and meaty with some nice soft fat pieces. Oh so good. Yeah if you are worried about cholesterol then this might not be for you. If not you gonna enjoy it. The pancit is good. The pork gisantes which is more commonly known as pork and peas is really good. It's like stew and you wanna mix your rice with it. If you like eggs over easy then you should have that over your gisantes. It's sooooooo good. Kinda like Loco moco except it's stew. When that yolk breaks and blends in with the gisantes hoo boy. Just really good stuff there. Then the main attraction is their pork adobo fried rice omelet. I believe they were the original restaurant that brought it out. I might be wrong but they make it just right. Every bite is so good especially when you bite into one that has fat in it. Yummy. Yeah not a good choice if you're staying away from cholesterol but if not you're gonna enjoy it. The pork adobo fried rice is not dry like some other places I've tried. Ok I admit i love filipino food. I had to get dinuguan. Chocolate meat. Another winner with rice and really good with over eggs on top of it. Nice tender succulent pieces of pork. Oh my God, it's so good. I also got Shanghai lumpia. This is da bomb. You gotta eat this one hot and fresh. If not it gets stale and soggy so I ate this first. You dip it into vinegar. I like a little heat so I add Tabasco to it. Great with beer. It's so good. I'm missing it already. Then the final dish i got was their sari sari. It's soup with mixed veggies, baby shrimp and lechon. The soup is delicious and comforting. It's great on a cold night or maybe when you're feeling sick. Better than your chicken noodle soup for sure. It's also great remedy for that hangover you got last night. Lol All in all you just gotta try it. Let me know what you got and how good it tasted. Enjoy and thank me later.

I called and made a complaint and all the lady said was , sorry! I asked to speak to the manager or supervisor and she said that they don't have one. WTF! I'm calling the owners tomorrow! My daughter took a bite and started chewing and felt something hard . I'm soo upset!! Update: 7/16/26 Called Melissa the owner to address this issue. She seemed very concerned and worried about my daughter who found it in her mouth. Thank God my 1-1/2 year old grandson didn't swallow it because he was eating it with my daughter!! Sooo dangerous ! Melissa will investigate this. Thanks Melissa. This taught me a lesson , as well as having a phobia . ALWAYS check your food when buying from restaurants or fast food.
