Great local take out spot. Waited in line and took our food to a park 3 minutes away. Chicken and max salad were great. As was the cucumber kimchi.

This place is a local favorite. It’s like a deli customized with Hawaii’s Japanese favorite foods(Okazuya style). A lot of people get a meal or a quick bite to eat because the prices are so affordable versus a traditional restaurant. The food is made daily hot and fresh. And just to note, there’s a minimal amount of seating. So take out is recommended. There’s lots of free parking, and you might want to Google map this place because it’s on a side street.

Delicious quick lunch spot. All à la carte which is great because you can try a bunch of the options. Super affordable and really friendly, helpful service.

The food here is OK. Nothing to write home about. UPDATE: 5.24.24 got food from here today with the hopes of it being better from the last time BUT What a disappointment it was. The sweet potato tempura was hard and crunchy, it was cooked just enough for then batter to be fried up but the potato was raw🫤 The hash patties were burnt so i scraped off the burnt parts, their meat jun has no taste. Why do you even charge so much for food that isn't made with QUALITY anymore. Once upon a time, places like these were good, now even that like everything else here are a thing of the past.
