    I just stopped in and tried it out on the recommendation of AI since I'm catching a concert in Inglewood. What it lacks in character is more than made up by the quality of the food. It's a shame actually because this could be one of the best Hawaiian barbecue places if they would put a little bit of effort into doing something with the generic bland interior that only has four paper leis making up their entire decor. The beef dish is oddly looking very black, but it's delicious. I would highly recommend it. The Katsu chicken was fantastic in the short ribs were also very good.

    Hawaiian BBQ Mix. Good!

    Hawaiian BBQ Mix

    Pulled up and got me the mix plate, decent portion and around $16 I think. Anyway I only got one rib, took a bite, pretty good, like other spots I have tried. The chicken had also a decent flavor to it. The beef on the bottom was also alright, nothing to ride home about. I think this place does beat the big food chain Hawaiian Ono by a bit but not by much. The Mac was creamy, solid, straight to the point. Last but not least the rice was pretty bland and not fluffy. Kalbi Ribs: 7.8 Chicken: 7.2 Beef: 7.2 Rice: 5.9 Mac Salad: 7.8

    I really love this place..Food is always on point,fresh and service is always nice. Been coming here about 7 to 8 years. Can't go wrong with the items we ordered and perfect every time. Place is small but we always seem to get our favorite spot.

    Came here since. It was in the way to my drive to LA and also cuz someone told me to get some Hawaiian food and I found this little gem! The place was def in the downtown area and was in a shopping center plaza. Parking was plenty and the inside had quite of seating inside. I had my order for dine in and just I saw it was huge (portion wise). And I only ate like 1/3 of it. So it was pretty generous for the price!!! The staff was pretty friendly and you can see them cook the food as well. It was super quick. Like I ordered and not even 5 min and boom it was out!! So fast and friendly!!!

    I've been going here for years and the food has honestly never disappointed. It can be a little pricey depending on what you order, but it's definitely worth it because everything is always so good. We always get the teriyaki chicken , fired rice, the beef plate and it's consistently juicy and flavorful, and it comes with cabbage, rice, and mac salad. The mac salad is always super creamy and just hits every time. The service is easily a 10/10, they're always on top of everything and the food comes out fast. The place itself is pretty small, just a little spot but it gives it that cozy, local feel. Overall, I'd rate this place a 10/10 and I'll definitely keep coming back.

    This was good! Great price for the portion size. Those that helped me were very nice and friendly, I felt welcomed for my first time. I went during dinner time and with a dinner rush happening, the place was well kept and a great environmentz Anyways, I got half katsu and half bbq chicken plate (chicken combo) and the portion was big. The pepper flakes in the bbq chicken threw me off, but the flavor was still there. Katsu were thin, but I didn't mind. Kastu sauce was thin and runny, couldn't really get a good scoop of sauce with my katsu if that makes sense. A lot of cabbage underneath the chickens. Spam musubi was good, thin rice which was good. Nothing else to report! Good experience

    A Hidden Gem for Hawaiian Comfort Food! I found a true hole-in-the-wall when it comes to Hawaiian food -- and it did not disappoint! This friendly, family-run spot serves up incredible fried rice, noodles, and all the Hawaiian classics with portions that are absolutely huge and flavors that are supremely satisfying. Let's start with the variety: you can mix and match so many options to create your perfect plate. My mom highly recommends it! You can place an order to go or enjoy your meal there -- either way, the staff is incredibly warm and welcoming. My husband ordered the combo mix and was shocked by how big it was... he couldn't even finish it! My brother loved the loco moco, especially with the rich gravy (they even gave extra on the side). I was blown away by the generous size of the kalbi ribs -- so flavorful -- and the chicken katsu was perfectly crispy and fresh. My brother also tried the Hawaiian-style fried rice and gave it two thumbs up. If you're craving Hawaiian comfort food, this place is a must-try. The food, the portions, and the service make it a spot we'll definitely be coming back to again and again. Don't miss it -- you won't be disappointed!

    Great portions and price comparable to similar options. I got the Hawaiian combo mix (bbq beef, bbq chicken & beef short ribs) & a chicken katsu. I feel like the bbq beef & chicken here are less fatty & not as dry compared to other places. I preferred the katsu here as well - it didn't feel like it was heavy breading. Ordered everything to go via phone & service was very fast and efficient!

    Hawaiian fried rice Mmm so good

    4 stars (bump up to 5 for excellent service)…read more Came by for an early lunch. Wasn't busy when I arrived, but got busier towards the end of my meal. Service was super nice and friendly, and I ordered the Kak'ik. Portions were huge, with plenty of turkey meat; the meat itself was on the dry side and the soup was a bit too salty, but it was nice and flavorful. Ambiance was pretty and rustic, with plenty of Guatemalan motifs and tiles. Decent taste with large portions. Worth a go!

    I really looked forward to going to Mucha …read more Ambiance - as you walk in you're greeted by very personable employees and they quickly let you know it will be but a few minutes they invite you to look inside their convince store filled with Guatemalan artisan crafts and snacks. The restaurant was s clean and great atmosphere. Service - overall the service was on point everyone that passed by our table asked if we were attended to and if we needed something . The server quickly took our order and brought our appetizer and drinks . Food- we ordered the tostadas trio to start and well they were devoured before I could even snap a picture a good sign . Then the traditional Guatemalan breakfast which was good . Then the revolcado - this was not that great and wasn't even hot but like warm . The flavor was off . Now I've had many revolcados here and in Guatemala and at home so yeah I know what it's supposed to taste like and it was just off . Specially that it wasn't hot and the flavor off . But everything else was okay . I will give it another try another day . Overall the restaurant is nice and service on point some of the food items were great while another was not stellar . I would recommend it and give it another chance .

    My boyfriend and I ordered via third party app which was no problem…read more When we got our food they were great in providing utensils, napkins, and even teriyaki and katsu sauce. When we opened our food container, the portion was horrible. We ordered the buy one get one special for $20 via third party app & now I know why. They gave 3 scoops of rice, 2 small pieces of chicken, some chicken katsu, some veggies scattered in the bottom (for presentation?) and what looked like 1/2 a scoop of Mac salad. At first I didn't realize the two containers of food we received were the same because the portions were totally different and one piece of the chicken looked too charred and I thought it was bbq beef teriyaki. No wonder this was one of the special priced items on the third party app. I wish they portioned their food evenly because I found the chicken and Mac salad tasty as wanted more. Needs improvement on portion size of food.

    What the eff is up with the portion size here? I ordered a regular half and half plate and got four…read moresad pieces of katsu and one tiny piece of BBQ chicken. I'm going to request food safety inspection for this place the katsu taste like they haven't change the oil in a very long time For the price, the portion is honestly a rip off. It felt completely unbalanced and not satisfying at all. I have never been this annoyed.
