Studio City’s best hidden gem, and one of the best options for seafood in the valley!

Great location for some fancier Hawaiian fusion food in Sherman Oaks. Chill vibe, great food with lots of variety, and very flavorful. My friends and I did family style and got to try a lot of different dishes! The spam crispy rice was bomb! Really enjoyed the Braised Short Rib Adobo, Malama Loco Moco, Horseradish Crusted Mahi Mahi, and Seafood Ricotta Dumplings! So yummy! We tried their WFT! And World Peace Candy Bar? And they were yummy! Definitely recommend this place and will come back!

We were able to snag a table for 3 with no reservation. Wait time was much less than expected. We tried the prawn salad, crab cake, tempura cauliflower, soup, short ribs, and mix plate. Timing and execution were perfect every time. We were thanked profusely for waiting. When the food and the service are *that* good, trust me, you don’t mind waiting 10 or 15 for a table. For dessert we had the candy bar. Sheer perfection. The team at this restaurant went above and beyond to make sure we felt attended to, without feeling obtrusive. We will definitely be back.

This is our “go-to” anniversary meal restaurant, and it is sooo good! Above all, great staff, super friendly, but not intrusive. This was the first time we’d gone beyond the happy hour menu and I’m so glad we did (although the Happy hour menu is excellent too!) The mahi mahi is sublime, in particular the pineapple Beurre Blanc drizzled with Shoyu Syrup. It’s just such pretty food too. Do not leave without trying the plantain bread french toast. I dream of this stuff! Ah, till next anniversary!

Very unique and underrated Hawaiian cuisine in Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles. The food was unlike any in the area and was extremely refreshing. The shrimp and octopus were creamy while the spicy wings provided a spin on classic Buffalo Wings. The service was very exquisite and timely. Would highly recommend getting a reservation for this lovely place.

Very unique experience. The food was super delicious and different. Highly recommend this place, especially if you like Asian Pacific twist to your meal. Portions are on the smaller side, don’t forget to add the appetizer! Plantain French Toast was out of this world.
