Love the food here. They're always running out even if you're there an hour before closing. They will fill your container up such much that you need to put pressure on it to close it! Cheap but tasty even the Hawaiian bbq plates

Unassuming spot with great BBQ. Be ready to get your hands dirty as there's no way you can eat the food with a plastic fork. Staff are friendly and everything was made fresh which I appreciate. Will be back!

Affordable and delicious. Best Chinese I’ve had in the area. Highly recommend the 5 flavor chicken. This plate was $12 and easily fed my husband and I with a bit of leftovers

I have to agree with other reviewers that this is a hidden gem. I'm a white guy that loves Chinese buffets, but I also lived in Hawaii and love Hawaiian food. So whoever put these two together is a genius. I went with a vegetarian...Read More

Excellent hot plate Chinese food. Super deal on everything given the area prices. Love the wonton soup and 2 item combo. They are very generous with the portions. Highly recommend their Hawaiian plates too. Spam masubi also another solid option.

Big portions for the relatively cheap cost. Flavor is good too, although I wish the chow mein had a slightly stronger flavor to it.
