My husband is from south Florida & I am from Texas so neither of us have ever tried Hawaiian food before. I've heard this was sort of a chain-type restaurant but that it was still very good so we gave it a try & were very impressed. My husband got the regular short rib plate (two scoops of rice & one scoop macaroni salad) & I got the mini chicken katsu plate (one scoop of rice & one scoop macaroni salad). Even for the mini plate, the portions were huge & I couldn't eat all of it! It's very inexpensive & very delicious. Everyone who was behind the counter was super nice & attentive. Also, I have recently tried the mochiko chicken & it's also very good. (: Tons of food for very cheap!
