Probably one of the best meals ever. Don’t sleep on the Pan fried Poke (spicy and regular - both are amazing) or the boneless kalbi beef. The Mac salad is also divine. We went *early* because the kalbi beef can run out and I heard/read too many good things about it to miss it during our short stay on the north shore. Literally so good I was doing the happy dance eating it. I will dream about this meal back on the mainland.

Came here for the first time with my friends. Ordered the Combo Plate with their Braised Kalbi and Peeled Garlic Buttered Shrimp and the Pan-Fried Poke plate. I also ordered their refreshing Mango Otai. The kalbi and shrimp plate were super flavorful and delicious. The kalbi was super tender, and the shrimp was sooo garlicky delish. The Otai was soooo good and refreshing. Definitely a must if you're on this side of town. The poke plate was pretty decent, nothing crazy about this plate. Overall, very delicious, but pretty expensive as well. You should definitely try this place out at least once or a bazillion times if you're rich lol. Staff is super friendly and helpful. There are a lot of tables throughout this who property but be respectful to the other establishments and their side of the lot. Restrooms are located across from this place and require a passcode to enter so be sure to ask one of the workers before heading over.

Drove all the way from Waikiki to eat here and it was well worth the drive. I'm disappointed at the lack of seating however, many people ate in their cars. The meat was tender, juicy and flavorful; honestly during the entire time we ate, we kept humming in approval lol! The scenic drive should be enough to hold off the hunger as you make your way to the North Shore. Would I come here again, ABSOLUTELY!

The Chipotle cajun butter shrimp was by far the best shrimp I've eaten on the island and anywhere. The kalbi beef is so tender you don't even need teeth to chew it. Portions are good sized. I would have drove from waikiki to north shore just to eat there a second time but they were closed the day we had the opportunity. That's the combo plate in the picture.

I got the kalbi beef and eggs for breakfast and my daughter tried spam for the first time. It was the perfect way to wrap up our time on the island. The beef was fall-apart tender and delicious. The eggs were perfectly cooked and the rice soaked up all the yummy goodness and was a great filler. We couldn’t finish all of the huge portions. This was a brilliant recommendation from our hotel. A must do part of any island experience.

We ordered the braised boneless Kalbi beef and the chipotle Cajun butter shrimp plates. The plates come with two scoops or rice and a scoop of Mac. The shrimp was a flavorful Cajun and was really great. The kalbi beef was cooked to PERFECTION melt in your mouth amazing. I had seen a instagram post about them and followed them then and knew I wanted to visit when we came to the island. So happy we did.

Best Poke bowl I've ever tried. I tried the famous fried poke bowl with salmon. 100/10 this is definitely a place you don't wanna miss in Hawai'i. The rice combines so smoothly with the salmon and the sauces that gives you a slight kick of spice. This is the place I'll come back everytime I am in Oahu. If those pictures could smell, you would understand why the food is amazing and delicious.

I would definitely recommend this place!!! I ordered the Kalbi and fried poke. I also got the chopped steak. Everything was absolutely delicious. I am not a cold salad person but my friend who is, enjoyed the Mac and cheese salad. The line went quick so there wasn’t too much waiting. Will be going there again for sure.
