This place is a true hidden gem. A ton of healthy, fresh options available. However, I’m here for the musubi. It is so delicious. I recommend the original spam, but the sausage is also quite flavorful. The staff are super helpful and offer recommendations based on your tastes if you are not familiar with the dishes. Prices are also very reasonable. Overall, a must visit.

At approx. 5pm, I call to order pickup and they hang up. What the heck? As I live within walking distance and decided to go to Alberton’s to get a whole chicken at half the price of what I was going to get here, I went in the store to inquire. I met a guy at the front (he’s a heavy-set individual who wears white ear buds and a hat) and I asked him why he hung up on me? he claimed the phone does not work, but the phone clearly was working when I called him. I asked him if they were taking pick up orders and he said no, which is weird because they are open until 7:30. I then proceed to leave the store, and he and the other line cook started to laugh and giggle as I walked away. I looked back at them in disgust and the heavy-set individual at the front started cussing at me. Wonderful people, eh? Not sure I’d trust them with the food you put in your mouth

When we got home, we unpacked everything and began sampling the food. The mahi-mahi was extremely flat, dark, and tasted terrible – a complete waste of money. Tossed to the trash. The edamame were not fresh; they were a dark dull green that had not been seasoned. The salmon was tasty, but the chicken katsu contained some dark chicken that was dry, bland, and fried to a crisp. The macaroni salad is NOT Hawaiian it was bland like eating paper.

The macaroni salad was the best thing I can say anything good about. My chicken Katsu was extremely dry and over fried, almost as if it was premade, and they reheated it again, which dried it out. The rice was good, but came with a very small scoop for a huge plate. The spam musubi was good, but very lacking in flavor there was no teriyaki or any kind of dressing within the spam musubi, which is not traditional Hawaiian. If they were going for a very untraditional way of representation of Hawaiian food, then they’re on that path. The actual place itself is very clean and very Hawaiian themed.

Had the 2 TUTU’S BENTOS and the kids couldn’t get enough of the chicken katsu. It was all pretty good but took a long time to get our food. I don’t know what was going on but it looked like they started to take out the trash but never finished. They never put in bags so the trash was piling up. I guess they were short staffed or something.

Disappointed with the mahi mahi sandwich. The fish was literally the same thickness as the slice of American cheese. If you like dry cabbage you’ll love this sandwich.
