  The food tastes good but I'm not paying $15 - $20 to get mostly rice/noodles. Last plate I bought had a very disappointing amount of protein, the MAIN part of the dish. Unacceptable.

  It's usually pretty good, but on my last visit the chicken was dry and they didn't pour sauce over the rice like usual. I hope it was just a bad night and not the new norm.

  I want to leave a good review because the guys working today were really nice but the food leaves much to be desired. The pineapple fried rice was a letdown unfortunately. There was only a slice of pineapple and not fried with the rice which was also not fried. It was just like steamed rice with barely any seasoning. The chicken was dry. The ribs were also a bit dry and I was really hoping for more flavor and tenderness in them. The tri tip was at least juicy though. Just a lack of flavor overall and did not make me feel like I was eating Hawaiin BBQ. The lack or flavor just seems to be the trend out here in this area though. Quality was not worth the price but I want to say thank you for the service though, at least that wasn't lacking.

  These people lived in Kona for a few years and thought they could fool us! The potato Mac recipe is one tub of Resers Mac to one tub of resers mac! Not authentic home made! I’m a white girl and make better Hawaiian food than these fakes! Try Lani Moku or another real authentic plate! Support the real Hawaiian’s! Aloha 🤙🤙🤙🤙
