Absolutely amazing establishment! Initially went because it was on the Triple D TV show, but now I'll continue going because of the food. Super friendly Staff and Amazing Food! Everything was perfect and flavorful.
The Food Was Amazing!!! We tried Red Curry Fish that was On Food Network, along with Many other Dishes We were Not Disappointed!! Everything was Beautifully presented and flavors on point!!

We have eaten here at least twice per week for the past two years. Food is fresh, flavorful, and consistent. Staff is excellent! Happy hour is great!
Stopped here for a bit to eat. So glad I did. I had the Uahi Sangria, red curry grilled fish with white rice and for dessert the lilikoi cheesecake. Each cooked to perfection and served with a smile from Oshen. She was the best. Sitting is inside or outside with a cool, Aloha vibe.
The food was perfect, service is amazing! We were on a happy hour though couldn’t try cocktails. otherwise we really enjoyed seafood meals.
Wonderful restaurant with some delicious Hawaiian comfort food. Not too greasy serving size and portions I think were just right. Servers were friendly, and we felt valued as guests. Would absolutely come here again
One of our favorite restaurants we visited on our trip to Oahu! The kalua pork was a favorite between me and my boyfriend—we found the pork to be tender and juicy while not overly oily. We also loved that the kale had a bit of a crisp to it. The poke was alright, the fish was fresh but the sweet and spicy sauce was a bit too sweet and thick for my liking. Don’t miss the ube colada either, it was delicious!! We dream of this place constantly now.
GO HERE!!!!! My partner and I came here after a long hot day in the sun and it was the best restaurant we had visited. Our waitress was super friendly and got our food out quickly and cooked perfectly!. The garlic chicken I had was outstanding!!!
