Great flavors. Ordered the chicken katsu moco, the mushroom gravy was thinner /lighter than I like but the fry on the chicken was great. Also had the kalbi ribs which had nice char and crispness and good aweet flavor. The panko spam masubi reminded me of a tempura sushi roll and was also legit.

I absolutely loved this place. I came down from just south of Olympia to spend the day at Sauve Island National Wildlife Refuge. I needed something to eat after a nice long day of hiking around a beautiful area. I was craving some Loco Moco so I googled hawaiian food nearby. I ended up at a different place in their parking lot and had second thoughts, so I googled some more and found this place. The reviews brought me in, even though it was 20 minutes away. It's a nice cozy little place with an open kitchen. The two guys there were the owners I believe and were very welcoming and and kind. I asked about the Loco Moco and the gentleman assured me it was excellent so I placed my order. This was the best Loco Moco I have ever had! The gravy was full of flavor, the rice was perfectly cooked and the hamburger was cooked exactly how I like it. The macaroni salad was also the best I have had. I can't wait to be in the area again to have it again or thr the Mochiko chicken! Highly recommend!

Went in to order the Garlic Chicken and when we opened the plate they gave us some extra Galbi! Everyone was so kind and hard working. And the food was so good!

Absolutely loved the vibe of this place! Food was hot and fresh, great flavors and textures. Workers were friendly and kind. We got the mochiko chicken lunch plate and an order of krab crispy rice to share. The tataki ponzu sauce with the mochiko chicken was PERFECTION! Crispy rice was popular, I hear they sell out often. My only critique is the crispy rice could use a little less time in the fryer as it was a bit hard for my taste; I like it lightly crispy on the outside and soft/chewy on the inside. Prices are reasonable and well worth a stop! Also, their restroom is “behind a bush”, referring to their greenery gate that you push through to go to the actual restroom. How fun is that?!

This place is 100% a must try. I've tried something different all 4 times I've gotten food from here and every time it's been absolutely phenomenal. Hawaiian has always been one of my favorite types of foods, and this place is my favorite Hawaiian place, no competition

This place opened recently in our neighborhood so my husband and I tried it out as he likes Hawaiian food. We got takeout for dinner and ordered the Mochiko Chicken and Kalbi Ribs. We were really impressed by how tender and flavorful the ribs were, and the chicken was also moist and flavorful. Portions were big, and service was fast and friendly. Will definitely be returning.

Wow, this is literally the best Hawaiian food I’ve ever had. I am longtime Roxy‘s fan, but we just tried this today and it is now my favorite no doubt!! It is so flavorful, I was truly surprised since it’s a newer spot. Highly recommend to anyone who likes Hawaiian. They have a chicken katsu masubi - 2 for $8 and YUM. & the Garlic chicken is unlike anything I’ve had before. Just go. You won’t regret it.

Ordered a katsu moco to go. Service was quick, less than 10 mins after I ordered. Super friendly staff, answered my questions. Atmosphere: very clean establishment. Its small, seating for 12-16. I would suggest order online and pick up to go if you are in a hurry. Food: 1 rice, 1 mac, 1 protein. My katsu moco also included eggs, cooked perfectly, over the sauce and rice. They give a healthy portion of katsu and rice. Katsu was cooked just right, not dry or too crunch. Mac salad was also delicious. Will be coming back to try other proteins. They suggested to try combo plate to try 2 proteins at once.

An absolutely delicious meal 💕 The price was appropriate for the amount of food in my meal. It's all about the mac salad, and I was not disappointed. The best delight was the panko musubi 🤤 I'm ready to go back and try more of the menu. The online ordering is easy to use
