The Poke Bowl was pretty delicious with big chunk of fish and fresh veggie. Sauce was creamy and a little bit spicy, not a bad combination. The Chicken Katsu was over cooked and the meat was dry. The dish was still eatable, but even food truck vendors could do a better job for less money. The third dish we had was the Sesame Crusted Seared Ahi for $29. The Ahi covered by sesame tasted good, a little bit too salty to eat by itself but it was okay to eat with rice. However, I felt the potion of the fish was too little for the price of $29. We also ordered the Hurricane Fries, again the fries was overcooked and the sauce was too salty, maybe others would like it but just not my cup of tea.
I still give this place a 4 star, due to friendly staffs, good Poke Bowl, and clean atmosphere. Not a bad place to stop for a quick lunch or dinner when going to the beach.

Fantastic variety of Hawaiian and US-style food made with an emphasis on local ingredients and island style. The casual, yet clean and airy setting for eating in makes it a great place to meet with friends, and a quick and easy order-at-the-counter for eat-in or take-out system makes even long queues move quickly.
We got a variety of foods and shared amongst our group so everyone could enjoy the variety, and we enjoyed all of it. The Local Siamin Noodles and the Mochiko Chicken were major wins with everyone, and the keiki's (kids') Fried PB&J with Bananas was amazing (guava jelly! with a perfect outer coating). The Fried Spam Musubi was a wonderful treat.
We shared everything, but almost had to go back for more of the PB&J+bananas. They make a great dessert!

I love this restaurant and have been coming here for over 3 years while living here part of the time.
While the food is very good, staff are awesome, and the restaurant is clean - be warned that the prices have steadily increased and portion sizes have been substantially downsized.
Today, I picked up over 80$ worth of food. When we opened up our $17 mochiko chicken plate lunches, the portion was half of what I was used to getting from them in the past.
I called to ask, and the staff informed me that their portion sizes were cut about 3 months ago. Staff kindly suggested that I order the 28$ sumo plate, which would give me the standard portion size I was used to before.
Overall, worth the visit - however be warned that the portion and price do not line up when compared to other local spots.

Would go back just for the mochiko chicken. Breaded and fried to perfection, the marinade tastes like a sweet soy sauce mixture. So good, and generous portions. We also had the fried spam musubi, which was good, but my only complaint is the spam is sliced too thinly. Fish tacos are good, and my friend really liked the fish sandwich. Free parking available outside, but you have to travel pretty far to the restroom located upstairs in a different part of the building.

The PERFECT spot in Kihei for some yummy grindz! Burgers, Katsu, fish tacos, noodles and so much more, really good grub to fill ya belly!
Wife is a Katsu connoisseur and she says that this one stacks up against any of the greats. Burger was yummy and the fish tacos were OUTSTANDING!!! Buttered and fried perfectly, mango pico salsa and cabbage mix along with their sauce just hit every note on the taste buds.
2 Keke Daughters were very happy with their noodles and grilled cheese. Pro tip my Daughter wanted to include, add the cabbage on the side of the noodle dish, mixes well!!
Atmosphere is very aloha, the whole crew is so nice and helpful, service is fast, prices are fair, portions are filling, all great stuff!
You can bring your own beers!! Since they don't serve alcohol, they left you pop some of your own, very cool. They do have Aloha juice, soft drinks, tea, other stuff.
Great place, we'll be back again and again!
