Plentiful food for good prices, and it tastes great!
Basically, this is a fast-food kitchen, like a Panda Express with typical Hawaiian foods. Don’t expect Michelin-Star cooking, but it is good.
Outside is a set of sturdy tables, which are regularly cleaned (!). Nice and friendly people behind the counter.

This place was fantastic! We got two of the plates with two entrees and two sides each. Everything in both of our plates were delicious, and the service is fast and friendly. Definitely looking forward to coming back soon!

Small, cozy place. I got a bento box that was ready to go and some spam musubi. The meat in the bento box was delicious! I really liked how the bento boxes were already created. I think you can get custom orders, but I like the grab and go option.

Came by a couple of days ago with family. The katsu bento made a few of us sick, unfortunately. Everything else they tried they said was good, but wanted to flag that just in case.
Originally gave a higher rating, but after getting sick from the food, I had to adjust. Just a heads-up for others.

Good food, ready made plates, and very good prices. Seems to be a local favorite. Only cost me $12 to feed my family of 4.

Over salt EVERYTHING. If they didn’t use a ton of salt on everything, “heart attack central”, then it would be decent. Also there prices are getting out of control. 17+ I paid for a 3 choice and it was an average size plate. Better off going panda express

A must if you’re in the area. The food is super affordable and delicious, fresh made. Portions are big, people are super nice, and it’s definitely big for the locals, too.
