“ I love this place. I get the ahi with pesto sauce. Mouth watering just thinking about it! It is a locals kind of place. Limited street parking. You think you are going into a residential neighborhood and there is a small strip mall there. Service is always friendly and efficient. I look forward to my next visit. Ono! ”

“ Their pulehu ribs & shrimp scampi plate was delicious. I am very picky with my shrimp and this was cooked and seasoned perfectly. My boyfriend had the furikake salmon and enjoyed it. I don't like salmon and I liked it. They gave 3 generous sized furikake salmon patties, my boyfriend couldn't even finish. Their mac salad was delicious. The only thing wasn't so good was their shoyu poke. It didn't have any taste, needed more salt or shoyu or something. The texture of the fish was great, not stringy. If the poke was good, I would have given 5 stars. We highly recommend and will be back. I grew up in Kaimuki and never knew about this place until last week. ”

“ I was surprised to find out that one of our regular neighborhood food places was under new ownership but happy that the previous owner retired and is hopefully enjoying life. First, happy to see that the previous menu was kept and new items added. Everything from the old menu tasted the same (huge plus) and the new menu items (e.g., Brandon's Special, Maunalani, smoked meat, etc.) are wonderful additions. The poke was okay as the flavoring was a bit too weak for me. From the time the new owners took over I gave them 4.5 stars. Now, six months plus later, it seems like there was some tweaking done to the recipes of the original menu. The ono recipe for the salad dressing changed. Now it tastes like shoyu and something else. This is a huge disappointment for me as this was one place where the salad dressing tasted like a homemade one served at family parties. Also, noticed a change in the horseradish katsu sauce - not as thick and the flavor a bit different. Love to support local but not if the original recipes continue to be tweaked and not for the better (imo). ”

“ Same exact ish menu plus poke. If you liked Nsg before you might like it better now. Poke tastes good, way better than Foodland, comparable to Tamuras and fc. Oh and they honor the stamp card so what are you waiting for? ”

“ Very delicious chicken long rice! very great very delicious. Employees very nice with quick service. ”

“ We were looking for a place to get one last plate lunch on our way from Hawaii Kai to the airport. Having read the reviews we wisely called our order in ahead and then went to the restaurant. We ordered: - Chicken katsu - 4/5 (chicken katsu itself was good, the katsu sauce just tasted more like cocktail sauce than tonkatsu sauce, one of the kids really liked it, the other thought it was too different) - Chili and hot dog - 5/5 excellent chili and rice, plus I think they add two grilled hot dogs - Kalua pig and chicken long rice - 5/5 it's been so long since I found good chicken long rice, it was really very good, as was the kalua pig, I just wanted more of the chicken long rice and would have given up the scoop of mac salad (3/5) We arrived right at 11am when they opened so they weren't quite ready for us to want to be seated. They brought out two small tables and a few chairs - which they placed on the sidewalk, so just know that this is more of a takeout place than a sit down and eat kind of place. ”

“ After a full day of snorkeling and hiking with family and friends, we were super hungry and were lucky enough to find this spot on Yelp on the way back to Honolulu. We got there about 30 minutes before closing and their menu had so many options we were all a bit undecided. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating even though it was the end of their day. They gave us the full rundown of the menu and everything sounded so good that we all got different items. I got the Chicken Katsu and Pork Char Siu combo and both hit the spot...so ono. My wife and son shared the Teriyaki chicken plate...loved it. Our friends got the Teriyaki Beef, Shoyu Poke, and Furikake Crusted Mahi...they also loved it all. The 5 year old even said that it was "the best food ever!"... How do you top that? The staff was so nice that they even brought both tables some complimentary Hawaiian Poke. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. ”

“ We got a couple of sandwiches and the fried fish with rice and macaroni salad. Food tasted good overall, the fish was crispy and the sandwiches tasty. The sandwiches are a better deal though I think, for the fish it didn't feel like we got enough for the price. Folks working there are pretty cool some of the are/were fishermen and had some good conversations while waiting. When we went there they were doing some changes to the restaurant and only had the option for take out so we drove to the waterfront park and had the food there. ”

“ Neighborhood GEM!!! Highly recommend anything on their menu. It's a cute quaint place and great service. Only downside is no private parking lot, only street parking. But worth it, it's that good. ”
