Great place! Awesome vibe! Great staff. Great prices for the large portions they serve! Saw this place on TikTok and went straight here from the airport. Got the beef rib combo (my favorite) staff is friendly and when they are slow they will talk to you and get to know you. While you wait for your food there is a window to kitchen and you can watch them grill your food. Love the food so much I came back the next day before my flight home and got the kalbi plate and it was sooo good. Will come back everytime!

First time here. I saw a video review and o knew the shopping center, as I've eaten at other restaurants here. I initially didn't notice this place as the switched locations in the complex. I am a fan of Hawaiian food and the smells in the air were excellent. What was surprising to me was, what I originally expected and what I received were miles apart. What I was expecting was 1 or 2 beef ribs at most with 2 sides What I received, was way above my expectations. There were 6 fullsize beef ribs, not skimpy at all. Perfectly grilled with the flavor of Kalbi ribs. Served with 2 sides, my choice of white rice and macaroni salad. The Mac salad was sweet and flavorful. Rice was perfect. The problem was I did not want to miss out on even a morsel if the ribs. I barely ate half the sides, choosing to eat every single bite of the ribs. This plate could have easily fed 2 but I pigged out. The man behind the counter was very knowledgeable and professionally. Good came out in a timely manner. I would recommend calling ahead as I could see this place getting very busy. I cannot wait to go back and try all the menu. I highly recommend this place

WOW this place is phenomenal. I came to try the giant beef ribs, which as a plate for just $18 is a huge portion of caveman style ribs and super charcoal - grill flavored meat. We tried a chicken/steak combo and it was absolutely amazing. One of the better steaks I've had, and yes it feels like you get a whole steak for $13, marinated to perfection. Their Pani Popo dessert is a must try too. Hawaiian rolls soaked in a creamy coconut sauce, warm and delicious. All in all huge affordable portions to satisfy your meat cravings.
