One would think to give this restaurant one star but I beg to differ especially after what we had to go through yesterday.
Okay we had to wait a minimum of thirty minutes for our table as there was a long line but not compared to the Steak n Shake next door! Next our food did not appear until after 45 minutes of seating. My brother-in-law ordered sashimi and does that take that long to make? I noticed our neighbors got their food before us even being seated after us. Plus my sister got her soup & salad after her main dish? My sister said her soup & my mother's hot water were cold.
My dish was a chicken teriyaki bowl and it was in a deep bowl that I had to request a fork to really eat it. I enjoyed it even though the HB felt it needed more sauce. My sister's beef teriyaki was flavorful and beef so tender that I had wished I had ordered that instead?! My HB ordered the fried noodles like yakisoba as he is the pasta guy. And that tasted okay to me.
Our cute and most attentive Hawaiian waiter Rory was one of the best servers I have had in a long time. He over compensated by automatically deducting 10% off our bill
(I had a coupon plus checking in on Yelp had it too but he did it w/o me producing it.) Plus he brought us a complimentary dessert after feeling awful of our negative experience. The dessert was very much like the malasadas of Hawaii and they were yummy!!! Underneath each malasadas was some decorative custard cream but edible alongside the chocolate swirl! This was a unique dessert TDF!!! Okay sweetness can help tremendously but excellent service by Rory (it wasn't his fault but I felt it was the cooks' fault for the delay) really made the difference yesterday.
I would come back to this restaurant on a different trip as we have many other places to try. Don't let my mixed bag experience throw you off!
