Reviews
This was my second visit to this Hawaiian-style restaurant. I first came shortly after they opened, and at that time everything was clean and well maintained. Unfortunately, this visit felt very different.
The food itself was very good, which is why I’m leaving a balanced review. However, the experience around ordering and the overall cleanliness were disappointing.
When I ordered my main dish, there were no issues. I then asked for lumpia and was told they were out. After that, I asked to add Spam musubi to go. The front counter staff explained there could be a 30–40 minute wait and said she needed to check with the kitchen. I told her that was completely fine since I was dining in, and she went to the back once to confirm.
While she was in the back, I overheard a loud comment from the cook along the lines of “OK, next time no more…” followed by additional words that I could not clearly hear. I cannot quote exactly what was said or the full context, but overhearing a frustrated-sounding exchange related to orders made the situation uncomfortable as a customer.
The largest issue was cleanliness. The bathroom floor was dirty and sticky, and the restaurant overall looked like it needed a thorough wipe-down. Floors and surfaces did not appear to be regularly maintained. I’ve attached photos of the bathroom floor for reference.
The restaurant would benefit from stronger on-site management or supervision. I also overheard casual conversations about previous customers, which should not be happening within earshot of guests.
This place has real potential because the food itself is good. However, cleanliness, professionalism, and management presence need improvement to match the quality of the food. I hope this feedback is taken constructively.
I ordered the Chicken katsu, which you can choose from a small or large plate. I ordered the small portion and the amount they give you for it is A LOT, I couldn’t even finish the plate. Well seasoned and the sides that come with it really enhance the flavors.
I also got some spam musubi and were very filling too, I definitely recommend to eat by themselves or with the sweet sauce they have in one of their tables.
Will definitely come back and try the rest of the food 🙂
