Hawaiian comfort food at reasonable prices. The menu is well crafted, and there are great half and half combo plate options, musubi, BBQ shortribs, loco moco, etc. It's even easier to order combo packs and party packs for large groups. My favorite is the garlic shrimp and katsu chicken. The macroni salad is perfect. The food is fresh, delicious, and generous portions are given. This spot is definitely better than L&L handdown. Staff is friendly and the restaurant is clean. Highly recommend! - Megan Marie
