My husband and I went here right after we landed because it was on the way to our hotel.
It’s a hole-in-the-wall place and we both got the chicken katsu. He got the kimchi as a side and I got the salted cabbage. Both were delicious!
Would go back again to try more dishes.

Some people just love this place, but I haven’t found my hit-the-spot dish yet.
ATMOSPHERE:
Hole-in-the-wall building in Wailuku. Difficult parking. Take out only.
FOOD:
Nabeyaki Udon
Broth has a salty and slightly sweet taste. Comes topped with fresh mushrooms, green onions, kamaboko, chicken, broccoli, zucchini and 1 piece of shrimp tempura. It’s good, but the one from Archie’s is better (better taste and more veggies.)
Chopped Steak
Steak filets done with white & green onions and bean sprouts. Doesn’t really taste like your typical local-style chopped steak, unfortunately, but more like a cross between chicken hekka & nishime.
Chicken Katsu
IMO, it’s hard to screw up chicken katsu unless you overcook it. Here, their katsu is good. Tender, tasty and a breading that’s not too oily, with a perfect portion size. I’m not a fan of their house made katsu sauce, which is a little sweet and tart, like how most eateries are. Luckily I always have a bottle of Kagome-brand sauce at home. There are different side dishes I could’ve chosen from, but I’m not sure what they were as I wanted to try their mac salad. The macaroni salad also includes potatoes, diced raw onions, carrots, celery, and relish. Didn’t care for it. It was too sweet (possibly Miracle Whip) and crunchy. Just mix in some mayo and salt, and I’ll be ecstatic. The plate comes with a big scoop of rice (your choice of white or hapa which is a mix of brown & white,) and a tiny pinch of tasty pickled cabbage.
Opakapaka
The skin-on filet was on the smallish side, flattop grilled, very lightly seasoned, topped with grilled white onions and a few fresh mushrooms, and came with tartar sauce for dipping. The tartar sauce easily overpowered the delicate fish and killed it. I think seasonings of salt, shoyu, or even teriyaki would be more appropriate to keep with the Japanese theme. A scoop of rice and steamed veggies of broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and pickled cabbage were the sides.
Teriyaki Chicken
So disappointed in this dish! The skin-on, boneless slices of chicken were under seasoned and dry. Talk about a weak teri sauce, but the dryness is unforgivable. Come on guys!? Sides were a scoop of rice, pickled cabbage, and their infamously gross Miracle Whip-based potato macaroni salad that is just too sweet.
Chow Fun
Their porkless concoction lacked any sort of flavor and tasted similar to chow mein at your local Panda Express. The beige noodles were a bit underdone, and stir fried with julienned carrots, green onions, and cabbage.
SERVICE:
Fast & friendly.

To go only – during the weekdays. But it’s worth a visit if you are nearby. True gem for locals. The chicken katsu and tempora set were so good.

We went to try the much-praised chicken katsu and were not disappointed. The kimchi side was also excellent. Eat here. Do it!

Very surprised with the food. I ordered the pork katsu and tempura combo with Chowfun. The katsu was crunchy, tender and very flavorful. Unfortunately my tempura was a little under cooked. It came out soggy. It needed about 1 more minute in the fryer.
The very surprising thing was the side of chowfun. I thought as a side, it would be bland and just a filler but it was very good. I could of just ate the chowfun as the main, that’s how good I thought it was.

Amazing take out style restaurant run by a local family. Great service, super friendly. Food was exceptional! We got the curry udon, house special with Korean chicken and teriyaki pork, and vegetable tempera. Unfortunately, they were out of noodle side dishes when we went, but that was an hour before closing time. Everything tasted fresh and flavored perfectly. Such a convenient option for a bite to eat! Parking available by the shop.

Take out only! I got their tempura udon. The udon taste like it’s homemade. It feels nice when you bite into it if you know what I mean lol. The broth is flavorful. The tempura would be better and more crispy if it wasn’t sitting closed in the take out box. I still like Marugame Udon more in Honolulu. Other than that it’s good to try.

Another lunch spot fav. Combos are great. Got the Korean chicken, rice and Kim chee. Very flavorful, juicy yet crispy.

Stumbled across this gem in the neighbourhood im staying at and I’m glad I found it. I only ordered the soup udon but it was soo flavourful. The udon had soaked up all the shoyu broth flavour and it was very rich. Good value for money too. Will be trying more things

Chicken katsu was great, and the portion sizes are huge!! Great option if you don’t feel like cooking or looking for something quick.
