| - The perfect name for this little Mom & Pop establishment! Upon walking in, you're greeted by either the smiling, satisfied guests or the friendly cashier. Very simple place with little decor, but don't be fooled by the simplicity of the interior design because the food is packed with flavor.
There was an option on the white board for the chow fun & katsu combo, unfortunately after I ordered it the cashier told me that the chow fun wasn't ready, and asked me if I would like the fried noodles instead (she said "They are better!") so I couldn't say no! My husband got the teriyaki chicken combo which comes with two scoops of rice and Mac salad.
Fried Noodle & Katsu Combo (5/5): Otherwise known as "fried saimin" to some other "locals." Very good! I shared it with my daughter, who loved it and same with my husband! Very good, the right about of flavor without being too salty as some other places do it & I loved the little pieces of spam and green onion sprinkled in there. The katsu was very crunchy & I'm not big on katsu sauce, but theirs was pretty good.
Teriyaki Chicken (3.5/5): Perfect sauce to meat ratio! Nothing extraordinary about this dish, my husband always gets something like this everywhere we go. But, a little bit of his chicken was not cooked thru and bleeding, hence the rating.
Side Mac Salad (4/5): I'm not a huge mayonnaise person, which is funny for a review on Mac salad. I feel like it could have used a little more salt, but otherwise still good!
Can't wait to try this place again, especially all the other foods that other Yelpers are raving about. The food was good, but the service really makes this place the House of Aloha. The chef even peeked his head out and threw a "shaka" to us as we were making our order. Don't let the small place fool you, you'll feel welcome local or not!
