I ordered food through UberEats and I am so glad I ran across this place! Everything was delicious! The food was very fresh. The portions were a good size and you have enough for the lunch the next day. I will be ordering again!

The interior was very clean and aesthetically pleasing. The girl taking our order was friendly and she substituted the broccoli on my order with cucumber slices like I had asked. This establishment is generous with their portion sizes. The spicy chicken was super tender & flavorful. My boyfriend also enjoyed his food & had no complaints. I liked the small sauce bar they had. Overall, i am definitely stopping by again for more food (:

This was the first time I tried this place. There are not many places that I go to where you have to either order online or use a kiosk to order food, but it was pretty easy to follow. I had the mini meal (with crispy shrimp as the protein) and the Hawaiian BBQ Mix. It was flavorful, plentiful, and overall, well-made. The meat were tender and the macroni salad and the regular salad balanced out the meal. Even my parents were impressed how tender the chicken was. All this food can feel up to 3-4 people. I have a feel I might be coming back.

I’m actually from Hawaii, and I’m beyond irritated. I spent $ 50 total on:
• 2 plate lunches
• 2 spam musubi (overpriced, but somehow the best thing I ordered)
• 1 honeydew smoothie that was watered down with no boba
• 1 canned Hawaiian drink
• 1 side of mac salad because they refused to substitute it for the so-called “salad”
And after all that, this is what I got — shredded iceberg lettuce drenched in ginger dressing being advertised as a salad. That is not a salad. That’s filler. And it was dumped all over the plate to the point the food didn’t even last 24 hours.
This is not how Hawaiian plate lunches work. Plates do not come with sad lettuce like this, and if there is salad, it’s an actual, balanced salad. Whoever is running this kitchen needs to visit Hawaii, or at least go study L&L, because this is not a real representation of Hawaiian food.
The kalua pork had no cabbage, no lomi salmon, no balance — just dry shredded pork and lettuce.
Service made it worse. The girl taking my order rushed me, kept saying “anything else? anything else?” without explaining the menu, and wasn’t helpful at all — especially for a first-time customer. I still tipped, which makes this even more frustrating.
First time here and definitely my last. This is not an aloha plate, and calling it Hawaiian food is embarrassing. This is not the true Aloha way.
P.S And to top it off, after rushing me through the order and she asks “Do you need a bag?” Like no… I clearly planned to balance four containers and two drinks to my car on my head. Common sense was completely missing from start to finish

So glad i found this place, the bbq beef was amazing. And the macaroni salad was perfect. The musabi was also amazing. As well as the Mango smoothie. Tons of options from food to drinks.

Coming from someone who grew up on L&L in California, this place is just okay. 2.5/5 at best. By Georgian standards, this place is prob a 4/5 or even 5/5. I ordered takeout from their website because it was the same price as in restaurant, and DoorDash was pricing $2-3 on top of reg price.
Chicken combo: the bbq chicken was a little salty but it paired great with rice. Chicken katsu was good but they didn’t give me tonkatsu sauce — only packet soy sauce and hot sauce. Rice & Mac salad were cooked “al-dente” which is not what I’m use to. I would ordered this again.
Kalua combo: kalua pork was super dry and not good at all. Teriyaki chicken tasted like the BBQ chicken. The broccoli was good — think they blanched it in some water with bouillon? I wouldn’t order this again.
Crab Rangoon: presentation was there. But it tasted like an oil sack. Like the oil wasn’t hot enough before they fried it. It was a miss for me.
Taro smoothie & coconut smoothie: I took a video recording only 15 minutes after pick up. It should still be a smoothie/slushy consistency, but it was watery.
At pick up, the two drinks were in a big bag and the cashier insisted the drinks wouldn’t spill over. She handed it over and the two drinks tipped over lol. Please invest in some cup holders.
I would give this place another try when it’s a little more established and got all their kinks worked out since they just opened not too long ago.

The food is delicious and the young Asian lady was very sweet. She offered me a military discount. My girlfriend and I are very satisfied with the service. I received the Hawaiian BBQ mix for myself and girl. The grand total came up to 45 bucks after also ordering two spam appetizers with two drinks. The meat portions was plenty and and just the right size on the macaroni salad and rice.

Da wife and I heard about this place and just had to check it out. Being born and raised in Hawaii (Waipio) I’ve been craving some local food. Ordered da Katsu and bbq plate. Gotta say, the food was good. Almost as good as L&L. Da Mac salad was ok, pretty bland least from what I’m used to. Also in Hawaii it’s 2 scoops rice and 2 scoops Mac salad, just a suggestion. Portion size was good though. Overall, we’ll be back and try da rest. Mahaloz for bringing a lil taste of home to this side of Georgia.

The meat was the best part of the meal — very tender and full of flavor. The macaroni salad could be better, and the taro smoothie was just okay; it felt like something was missing.
The service, unfortunately, was uncomfortable. As soon as we received our food, we were asked if we wanted a bag — even though we were clearly sitting down to eat. The staff member then stood nearby staring at us the entire time, making it feel less like a dining experience and more like a countdown until we left.
To top it off, I overheard her telling other customers that to-go menus cost $2–$3, only to quickly snatch them away and hide them so no one else could grab one. The food had potential, but the service definitely took away from the experience.

Food was very good; only complaint was the spicy makai wasn’t actually spicy at all. Sauce had some flavor to it, but not heat. It was good mixed with the rice though. Prices seemed fair for the portion size.
