5 Stars! Picked up my daughter after school and we were both craving Hawaiian food—so glad we found this place! As soon as her Chicken Katsu hit the table, she took one bite and said, “We’re definitely coming back here!” The flavors were spot on, the portions generous, and the service was warm and welcoming. Absolutely worth the trip. This spot is a new favorite for us!

We went in and tried their Chicken Katsu, BBQ Beef and Fried Shrimp. Wow! One of the best teriyaki we’ve had. The food was freshly cooked after we ordered and tasted really delicious with their sauce. Staff are friendly as well. Overall, great value and ambience. Highly recommended! We’ll definitely be back.

Had lunch here today and was very happy, got the B5 which is a Deep fried shrimp in Panko (which I love ) and a scoop of rice and scoop of Mac salad that was delicious and nice and cold cause today was a hot day in the city. It was a very yummy simple kine plate lunch however I would definitely come back here for it & to even try out their other items as well. They don’t sell musubi though and the lady was very nice, and I didn’t have to wait long at all. Food was yummy and hot and ready. It cost Me about $10 and worth every penny !

I left a review before on my old account so here’s my new one. This is my go-to place as of late during some medical hardship. I normally get the teriyaki chicken platter or the chicken katsu platter, sometimes with a side of macaroni, chicken rolls, or veggie rolls. The veggie bowl is just as good when I want something light. I remember when I first went about two years ago and it has always been so tasty since the start. The service is wonderful, very friendly employees, and even after a little issue with the portions when COVID hit, it seems to have gone back to normal. I always start eating the food before I remember to take a picture but I finally remembered. I ate some of the rice and macaroni before I took it, so I put one of the veggie rolls I got on top to make it look pretty for the picture lol.
