Order at the counter and grab a seat. Legit "local food" place. Seems like a lot of dishes were brought from plate lunch joints in Hawaii. Of the 6 or 7 dishes I've tried, they nailed it.

I have been wanting to try this place for a few months and finally went today! It was pretty busy but they did a great job taking orders while people were waiting in line. I got the Mix Plate with Furikake Chicken and Garlic Shrimp and it was delicious! The chicken reminded me so much of a place I ate at when I visited Oahu and I can’t wait to go back. One thing that really stood out is the team member who took my order also came around to check on everyone in the dining area and he mentioned me by name which was a personal touch that made this an overall excellent experience!

My Hawaiian friend recommended me this restaurant and it was as good as he said. Foods are clean, tasty and affordable. Staffs are friendly too. Just one thing I wish was they serve dining in instead of all to-go containers.

My sister sent me a tiktok while I was at work about this place and I promised we’d go try it out after work and it did not disappoint!! While getting our food the cashier was nice enough to charge me a Ube cake slice and after our meal I had to buy 3 more cakes to go!!! 1000/10 stars, will definitely be back soon, the food is amazing and so were the vibes inside the store. Everyone was very welcoming! Wasn’t able to get a picture of the cake slices bc I ate them but everything was soooo good! Can’t wait to come back again!

Some of the best Hawaiian food I ve had so far. Had the ribs and kalua pork. Great flavor. There was a fairly long line, and allegedly it can get even longer. Had a band playing outside too. Laid-back atmosphere.

Great food, great menu and local! Very good Hawaiian food. I had kalua pork and shrimp and the pork was amazing. Friends had teriyaki chicken and poke bowl, and I would definitely try the poke bowl next time. Restaurant was busy at lunch which I take as a good sign.

2nd time coming here and loving it even more then the first time. There's always parking in the shopping plaza but both times I've came, once on a weekday and this time on a Saturday, the restaurant is packed. The only difference is on weekends, they apparently have bands playing and hula dancing as well. The Kalbi short ribs is def our favorite here and the macaroni salad and rice that comes with it pairs perfectly with it. We also tried the teriyaki chicken and poki avo style. Both are delicious! The teriyaki flavor is just right and chicken is soft. The tuna taste fresh and it's soft but next time I'd ask for less soy sauce as it was a bit too salty for me to eat it plain without rice. But that's personal preference so no complaints here. Overall: we love the service here and food is great for the price they charge. And judging by the amount of people that comes, everyone feels the same way. This is def our go to place when we're craving for Hawaiian food!

Ran across this place by accident. Had an appointment near by and this was the closest place to eat. Im a big fan of Hawaiian food and this didn't disappoint.. ive been to hawaii many times and never had chicken as good as what i had here. Furikake chicken maybe best chicken dish i have ever eaten. Garlic shrimp were good as well. Everyone that i came in contact with that worked there were great. Place was super packed and found a seat after a few minutes. Lots of seating outside but was raining the day i was there. Next time would definitely like to try the poke but would need an order of the chicken to go.

This modest, fast-paced Hawaiian restaurant has all the favorites you’d expect. The line can seem a bit intimidating, but it moves quickly and is totally worth the wait. The staff is friendly, efficient, and welcoming. I got the combo plate, which was more than enough food with some left over. I highly recommend the Garlic Shrimp (a must!), Furikake Chicken, and upgrading to the Pork Fried Rice. Everything was delicious! I can’t wait to come back and try more dishes. Expect to spend around $25 per person. This place is my new favorite Hawaiian spot in Torrance/South Bay!

Great selection of hawaiian dishes from kalua pork to garlic shrimp. They even have poke. Generous entree portions and friendly service. Beef teriyaki beef grade is mid. If you use a credit card they charge a fee. any extra sauce they charge. They don't have potato Mac salad, it's macaroni salad only, that comes in a separate small container.

As a first timer I was disappointed that they didn’t serve poke but that disappointment slowly faded once I ordered Hawaiian food. The hamburger steak and beef teriyaki steak was the highlight of the show. The steak tender with every bite. Everything super flavorful. I hope the next time I go they have poke available.

Food was great, we ordered the Korean Chicken and some spam musubi. However, I went in for a pickup, lady at the cashier skipped me while I was clearly standing there for some time, and she asked the next customer if he was picking up. It upset me because she didnt go in order while I was patiently waiting for my turn.
