    Spam musubi

    This location is horrible at making musubi. The spam looks uncooked with the smallest dab of sauce on it!!! Ugh I'm so disappointed! No flavor except the saltiness of the spam. I was craving this so bad because I've had amazing experiences at other locations and I'm pregnant lol but I know now not to go to the one around the corner from my house for it. Please do better or hire cooks that actually try.

    We used to live down the street from here and have always loved eating here. Everything is made fresh daily here. So since our move to NE Mesa we don't come as often we just happened to be over on this side of town and decided to come in and grab some dinner to take home. We got the pork and beef it came with salad and steamed rice. I loved the beef it was soft, in bite size pieces, tender and the sauce it was cooked in had just the right amount of kick to it. Now the pork had a nice evenly balance of smokey flavor to it but I wish it had been cooked in a sauce also. Anyways the customer service was great, they had a good system of working together well and the restaurant itself was all around clean I've never had a bad experience here.

    Worst plate lunch ever.....Teriyaki Chicken/BBQ Beef

    This is the worst Hawaiian food I've ever had. I could have purchased the terriyaki chicken and beef from Panda Express for less and I would have had bigger portions for $3.00 less. I ordered the teriyaki chicken and beef plate. Small portions with cabbage under the meat to make it look like you got more. Way too dry and salty. Horrible waste of money. Go to Hapa, Moku, Big Islsnd, or L&L. Pass on Ono. The only thing that looks decent is their Katsu chicken.

    I ordered takeout from this store about 5-6 times. I was sick and took time off to rest at home. Without any nutrition I was hungry today and purchased their food again and was very shocked after receiving it! The small amount of nut bone is not even 40% of the previous normal standard. To me, this is cheating! And you deceived a patient. It is shameful to deceive! I think there is something wrong with the management of this store. Several times before, I have clearly felt that the reduced quantity has inadvertently made me sick. During this period, the reduced quantity is unforgivable! It is recommended not to go to this store, maybe other branches are better!

Bring on the BBQ and try a new to me location! What I ordered: - Baby Back Ribs: very delicious and tender - some of my favorite ribs recently - Green Chili Mac n Cheese: fairly average Mac n Cheese, and something I'd order again as it complimented the ribs - Cowboy Beans (Pinto): not a fan, and I should know better as team baked beans (skip next time) - Green Chili Corn Bread: pretty moist and a good flavor - green chili is a tasty addition - Old-Fashioned Bread Pudding : SKIP THIS ITEM - mushy and ended up putting in the bin I didn't eat all, and had as leftovers the next day. The ribs were surprisingly just as delightful as the first day! This order has intrigued me to take a trip to the establishment to see the ambiance of dining in, and the service the staff provides. Though, Uber Eats did make it convenient and they were exceptionally friendly dropping off. If you are in the mood for BBQ, I recommend Waldo's.

The prices were very affordable and shocked how little we spent to satiate four teenage boys, and four adults. Every was pretty satisfied with the food (solid 4/5).

I ended up not eating entirely. - Potato Salad: very good and enjoyed this throughly! - Juicy Brisket: pretty juice and a solid brisket. - BBQ Sauce: the two sauces on the table were okay, but nothing standout. This is a counter service location, so you order and they grab your food to then go find a table. Very relaxed, and plenty of tables. It was easy to grab for a larger group and I'd keep in mind if I ever need to dine with 6+ people.
