This place is small but man does it of her a lot of variety! We parked down the street as parking near it is quite difficult on the weekend. We walked in and the choices on the menu were plentiful. I ordered the pork belly and beef with macaroni salad. My husband ordered the half and half chicken and beef. The food was very flavorful and not over sauced. The meat was tender and not tough. The portion size was great and we even had a little bit left over to take home. Much more flavor than the place we have gone to near our house. If I lived closer I would definitely come more often. However, if I'm in Burbank again I will definitely return! With a small place, they really need to ensure they keep their tables clean, we did have to ask them to wipe down a table. The atmosphere was a little noisy, but it was quaint enough to stay and have a conversation with friends. The prices are on par with other Hawaiian food places and the service was really good. We got our food quickly and they even offered to take our trash when...
Read moreThis place is way too high in price for the quality of food offered and also because this is a fast food joint. I realize the cost of food has increased 75% to 100% contrary to what the current administration asserts but this place takes prices to the ridiculous for what they offer.
The chicken katsu was nothing to rave about. Though the chicken was tender and the batter relatively light, it was flavorless. I lived in Hawaii for years and the food offered here misses the mark on authenticity. If I am going to pay the high prices they charge, I would prefer eating at a restaurant where the prices are lower, the same, and even higher but at least the food may be worth the cost.
All that said, the white rice which accompanied what I ordered was moist and delicious and the macaroni salad is amazing. If you are going to eat here, I suggest the Masubi and macaroni salad. Everything else is just not great in flavor or worth what...

I’ve been coming to this spot for over a decade! They were around even before the movie! =) Fast forward present day- I wanted my niece to try Hawaiian BBQ. She’s been to Hawaii but now that she is older and her palate has changed, I knew this was the spot to take her for our monthly get together! Hawaiian BBQ always has a place in my heart! Growing up in Hawaii the BBQ was a staple, so simple; BBQ, rice, mac salad and a can of Hawaiian Sun! Got the katsu, short rib, BBQ and seafood combos! Of course, she wanted musubi so we got that and it came with 2 for the order, with the drink total came to $95! But dang, the rice to meat ratio was sad ?? rice is cheap… why not load up? Maybe my expectations are too high? LOL but its rice….cant shake the portion out of my head also, the mac salad can use a upgrade–...
