This is a casual place to enjoy authentic Hawaiian food. They also serve great cocktails. Lemon grass Bloody Mary with spam.. doesn't it sound intriguing? Try this place out if you want to try something different!

The Aloha Fries were so delicious! One of the best Loco Moco I’ve had in Seattle. I don’t like cherry that much but the Sakura Cherry Blossom Malasada was absolutely amazing!

Always one of my favorite go to places in the city! Very consistent, quick, and flavorful. I usually end up ordering an extra side or small dish since the portion sizes aren't the biggest but it's so worth it.

Solid spot for some Hawaiian BBQ. Love their kalua pork sliders. The beef and spicy pork tacos are bomb too. Great coleslaw. Haven't tried the malasadas yet, but they look delicious. Keep an eye out for seasonal fillings.
