We tried the loco moco, Lahaina fried chicken and the kids teriyaki with rice ans fries and filipino lumpia. The teriyaki sauce was tasty. Not too sweet, not salty. Their mac/potato salad is amazing. The portions of meat are huge. The fried chicken was tasty, juicy and crispy. The loco moco meat patties were a little on the charred side but still flavorful enough that it didn't overpower the dish but the hubs was not a fan. The french fries were great, i bring that up bc sometimes they're soggy or overly fried but these were perfectly fried and crispy with enough flavor. The service, hospitable. A little slow but the servers were always somewhere they could easily see you if flagged down. I definitely think it's priced well, especially for the portions they serve. I'd definitely go again. Also, food still tasted good reheated.

We shared the sampler plater. My had kalua pork,chicken beef withe rice and mac sald. I had the chicken salad. We shared the famous cheese cake.. Our waitress was very helpful and sure that we are enjoying the food and having a good time.🤙🤙🤙

Whenever I'm in the area, I love to stop and get their delicious Lahaina fried chicken, and either bacon or spam fried rice! Plus, the meal comes with Mac salad and ramen/cabbage salad - which both are delish! Just a side note, for breakfast, be sure to try their Portuguese sausage and eggs with fried rice! Definitely my favorite breakfast! Their Portuguese patties are so tasty! I would suggest that you skip on their chicken katsu. I tried getting something different, and it was a disappointment. The chicken was real dry, the coating was bland, and you don't get any kind of sauce for it. Next time I'll just get a double order of the Lahaina fried chicken.

I ordered takeout, and I have to say the sturdy rice was exceptionally cooked. The beef was okay. The chicken was really good too. The lumpia isn't what I'm used to in Hawaii, but it wasn't bad.

Waited to be seated but no one showed up so I decided to get takeout, and when I got to the takeout are the service was good and food didn’t take long either. So I got the BBQ chicken and fried chicken plate and it was pretty good, Mac salad was ok and the coleslaw was great not gonna lie. The inside of the restaurant is really nice and they have a huge dessert shelf with a bunch of dry and refrigerated sweets.

If you're a fan of Hawaiian culinary treats, this is DEFINITELY a great place to hit! Really liked the food and the atmosphere is fun. I need to check out their market next time.

Great service and atmosphere. Food need work. The fried chicken was good. The teriyaki beef was really chewy and should have sauce on it because it needs it. The teriyaki chicken was so bad. No flavor and so dry. Mac salad was good and cabbage salad was OK. I would like to go back and try other stuff because I heard good things about this place.

Came here for the first time with my wife. The reviews seemed pretty positive except for one in particular. I believe me Sharlene C. must be kindred spirits. I felt the atmosphere was very lively. There was live hawaiian music. People would get up to dance hula with certain songs. It was very fun to watch and the decor made me feel like I was back home. For all of this I say job well done! Now, to the food..... Pricing wasn't cheap, but it wasn't horrible either. For an appetizer, we ordered the Back Home Sampler. This was actually pretty good for the most part. The spam musubi was good, the grilled beef sticks was tender and tasty. The Lahaina fried chicken was very good. The won ton was good, the Filipino style lumpia was good also. Now, the kalua lumpia? NOPE! No flavor at all. Big time lack of salt and smoke flavor that is essential in kalua pork. The presentation of the sampler looked great, but that's where it stopped. Thankfully, the majority of what was on that platter was good. Now on to our entrees. My wife ordered the platter #1. This consisted of Lahaina Fried Chicken, beef teriyaki, Kalua Pork, rice, Mac salad and cabbage (almost like a slaw). My wife said the chicken was good. The beef teriyaki was bland unless you made sure there was teriyaki sauce on it and as said before, the kalua pork was lacking in flavor. At least the rice was cooked good, the salad was ok and the cabbage was very good. It had a sweetness to it. I ordered the Luau Platter. This consisted of Lau Lau, Kalua pork, lomi lomi salmon, chicken long rice, rice, Mac salad, cabbage and haupia cheesecake. Here's my breakdown. My first bite of my Lau Lau I thought it was gonna be great! It was a taste of just the greens and it was good. Once reaching the pork in the middle, I noticed there was once again no salt. Hahaha COME ON MAAAAN! The Kalua pork? Yup you guessed it, NO SALT! When making kalua pork, if you're not doing it the tradional way in the ground (I'll do mine in a crockpot) you rub the pork with hawaiian salt, few tablespoons of liquid smoke and some water. It's imperative to have a taste of the hawaiian salt and smoke flavor. It's also gotta be juicy. I'm sorry, maybe I've been spoiled over the years. Now my lomi lomi salmon.....guess what? LOL! No salt again. This is another dish where hawaiian salt is crucial. It was also dry. Usually it's very juicy because of the amount of water it sits in ( almost like a broth if you will). My Chicken Long Rice was also lacking. It wasn't terrible, but maybe I'm just used to my dad making it. The long rice here was lacking ginger and the noodles possibly being a little undercooked. The rice and Mac salad was ok. The cabbage I really enjoyed. Now the Haupia Cheescake.....DELICIOUS! All in all, the atmosphere made me happy to be here, but the food needed a lot of help. Maybe they were just out of any kind of salt or something, or the menu was a low sodium night, I don't know. Hahaha. The haupia cheesecake was worth the trip. I've heard the jello cheesecake is amazing also. Maybe we'll just come here for dessert and live music next time. I'm sad because I really wanted it to be good, but it was definitely subpar. P.S. Their bakery / giftshop section was very nice. We also bought some cookies. They have lots of different desserts / pastries to choose from.

Before picking up dinner from here, checked out reviews which majority was all good. Being from Hawaii and now living in Vegas, I had to try it out. They had a lau lau plate, I got chicken long rice and side order of lomi lomi salmon... lau lau was good. Chicken long rice was bleh... seemed as if it wasn't cooked all together but more so ingredients just thrown in together. Lomi salmon had nice sizes of salmon BUT some salmon didn't taste too fresh. Potaoe, Mac salad was good and tasty! Ordered jello and haupia cheesecake, which was very good!! Ordered a musubi, didn't think that was worth $3.50. Receipt doesn't even show how much what cost individually. Didn't think spending $33 was worth all that for take out for one person. Apparently, if ordering take out u need to ask for utensils. Or they said they usually ask u if u want utensils when paying... no one asked me, it's take out, that should be a given. Much to my disappointment, got to my hotel with nothing to eat with 😒 would go here again just for their cheesecake.

Order the Sample Platter and they didnt include the Kalua egg rolls in it, plus i order a side order of mac salad(see picture) and man they give u the salad in a small container yet they charge you alot. Called the restaurant about it and the guy said they cant make any more kalua pork as of that time yet theyre still open. Bad experience and the food quality went downhill.
