    Ahi Tuna Musubi
    Samantha D.

    It was okay! Took around 15 mins to get my food, and it's a little pricey, but staff were very nice and the food tasted good! Would get from there again

    Garlic Shrimp Musubi
    Peter D.

    After seeing Hiraya closed down, I was happy to see that another AAPI business opened within Union Market. It's a mix of Filipino and Hawaiian cuisines. I decided to try the garlic shrimp musubi and pork sisig. Although the price is a bit steep for the portion size, I genuinely enjoyed my food and am interested to try more of their foods. The garlic shrimp had enough flavor where it paired nicely with the shrimp. The pork sisig and atchara were also a nice combo that made the food memorable. The business owners were nice and very encouraging for me to try all of their dishes. It felt great to support a local AAPI business near me, and I would definitely come back soon.

    Wow this was sooo good. 10/10! The tuna was v fresh and the musubi was 9/10 only cus I had to ditch some rice on my last 2... but I'd still order every time.

    Located at the Union Market Food Hall, Small Kine serves Filipino/Hawaiian food. Had to wait for 8 minutes for my food as it was a busy Sunday lunch. The kalua pork sisig is Hawaiian style slow roasted pork with onions, picked onions, tomatoes, and jalapenos served on rice. It was good, flavorful but the price does not match the portion size.

    One of the newest stands in Union Market, my wife and I got one of the wraps. I ordered the jumbo shrimp one which comes with lots of rice inside wrapped in seaweed. It came in two pieces and was filling. I enjoyed it, but I was hoping for more flavor. The amount of rice muted some of the flavors. I think with some tweaks, this will be my go-to spot at Union Market. Also, the staff were very kind and efficient despite a line on a busy Saturday.

    Tried both their classic spam musubi because that will always be my favorite, but the garlic shrimp musubi was also a hit

    What a wonderful addition to union market! We had the garlic shrimp musubi, tuna tartare nachos, and lumpia -all delicious. Can't wait to try more!

    Love this little place, it's hard to get Hawaiian in DC. I got the spam musubi which is quite a bit of food for the price. My partner who is skeptical of canned meat loved it. Lots of food and great taste. I do wish they gave an extra spicy mayo, but I should've asked. Excited to try more things from the menu

    I was so excited when I saw a Hawaiian food spot pop up near me. The closest I knew of was in…read moreAnnandale so I jumped at the opportunity. I got some trustee items, and I sort of wish I would've tried the Loco Moco because that would have truly told me whether or not I would be able to come back to this restaurant. As of now, I MIGHT stop by/order from here in a pinch BUT I wouldn't go out of my way. Let's begin. Location: it's located in Navy Yard. It's inside of Takorean. They make it easy to order online. It's giving Ghost Kitchen. Food: I ordered two spam musubis, two ahi bowls, and two bulgogi steak bowls: Spam Musubi: I think someone forgot an ingredient... Or two. The rice in these was extremely bland. Further, I'm typically used to there being some sort of sauce/glaze, usually tastes a little similar to teriyaki, between the spam and the rice. That was not the case here. Also, the spam was way saltier than normal. I love spam. It's one of my guilty obsessions, and I eat it about once a week. Yes, I know it's not good for you. However, I say that to say that I know how it typically taste. This was incredibly salty. I might have noticed it because that sauce that I previously mentioned was missing. Also, the rice was super bland. I don't think anybody put anything in the rice, including salt. Not that you need salt necessarily with a super salty piece of spam, but you get me. Ahi bowls: this tuna was so damn dry. DRYYYYYY. The flavor was good, but it was so incredibly dry. It was definitely overcooked and had nothing to do with it being delivered. In the bowl, there is salad, two scoops of rice, and a scoop of macaroni salad. The rice in the bowls was good. The salad was also pretty good. I really liked the dressing. However, the macaroni salad needed some help. I don't like Hawaiian macaroni salads that are overly seasoned, but this one was bland and had no seasoning at all. It tasted like someone over-boiled macaroni noodles, mixed some low budget, mayo in, and let the mayo set in overnight. It was definitely drier than I expected. Bulgogi bowls: Now, Kau Kau... if you're just selling Takorean's bulgogi, then say that. Because it tasted exactly the same... maybe slightly sweeter. Same comments as before re: sides. And again, it hurts me to say that about the Mac salad because I love macaroni salad. That has been one of my favorite food since I was a little girl. My dad's family lived in Hawaii and my Aunt is Hawaiian, so we ate Hawaiian food pretty regularly. Mac salad is my jawnnnnn. The salad was the best item and it's not supposed to be. This place just didn't do it for me this go round. I might be down to try the loco moco in the future but not sure.

BUILD YOUR OWN BOWL (REGULAR) - 10 (12 on Uber Eats) +6 for 2x salmon +6 for 2x ahi tuna +1.50 for avocado I made my bowl with half sushi rice/half mixed greens, green onion, edamame, seaweed salad, furikake, masago, and sesame seeds. However, there were practically no masago in my bowl. I wanted to try a few sauces that sounded interesting, so I requested for the abunai, kabayaki, and garlic aioli sauce but specifically asked for it ON THE SIDE so the entire bowl wouldn't be overly saucy or soggy. Upon receiving, I saw that all the sauce was smothered in my bowl. I also got no utensils even though I requested some. At the end, I left half of the rice and mixed greens because it had way too much sauce which was incredibly overpowering. The quality of fish was fine, and I enjoyed it with the avocado. Meh. I think my experience would have been a lot more positive if the sauce was on the side for sure.

The drinks are kind of pricey otherwise, up to $25 for a cocktail! But the happy hour deals are amazing! We started with a rum punch bowl for $22 and holy crap it was strong! It's also so cute and ready for Instagram, and every time one of us lifted it to drink we felt like Poseidon. From there were got some apps to share. The nachos were pretty good and had a unique flavor profile, and you can't beat $12 for nachos in DC! We continued with $5 mini frozen drinks and wow were those a deal! They were super strong and also super cute! A friend got the Pain Killa and again for $9 it was a steal and the most delicious drink we had. Someone also came by with free Jell-O shots and they matched the mood of our night! The whole bar is fun with quirky decorations and great views. I'm sure it gets really busy during nice weather. Plan for it and come for the best deals during happy hour.

But what landed me on a 3 was value, specifically for my shrimp po boy which, at $18, was literally 3 shrimp on a hot dog bun. See the pic. It comes with broccoli but I had them sub tots. I just have a hard time with the idea that some broccoli, a single hot dog bun and 3 shrimp are worth $18. The fried rice was a much better value in both portion and quality and our s'mores platter was pricey at $18 but also quite ample. Drinks were strong. Not necessarily good. But strong. So whether these drinks were 3 or 4 stars for you depends on your goals. Overall, is this somewhere I would go out of my way to visit? No. Is it a chill easy hang if you're already in the area and need somewhere to drink while waiting to do something else at the Wharf or if you work in that area? Sure. Do I like that it is chiller and less bougie than the rest of the Wharf? Absolutely. I just feel like your best bet is to come and have a beer.

Singkamas salad - 9/10 I loved how refreshing it tasted Ginataang karute - 5/10 I normally love mushrooms but I think the coconut flavor threw me off Spicy Adobo Fried Chicken - 10/10 So warm and crunchy and a little spicy kick Vegetarian pancit mahal - 8/10 It was good! White rice - What can I say, it was fluffy? Vegetarian lumpia - 10/10 - Crunchy and full of flavor and the accompanying sauce was perfect Brussels sprouts - 6/10 A little too cooked for my liking it tasted a little burnt. Short rib adobo - 6/10 It was so soft and tender I loved coming here and trying so many different dishes. It was also my first time trying Filipino food. Definitely recommend for big groups.
