Comments: Guys just letting you know that th hamburgers are usually a couple days old sitting outside before they serve it. You maybe lucky to have one that has accidently been dropped and served to you. trust me i work here. the katsu is deep fried 2x usually a week old, the fish is purple and goozy when they cut it specially the mahi mahi and ahi tuna, everything is DEEP FRIED.. most of the time the micros that work there dont wash thier hands and also spits in the trash thats close to the grill. yuck!! there was also an incident when we had to use mouse traps in the kitchen. well im just letting you folks know wat really goes on in the kitchen. trust me. i work in the industrial area. number 808 935 2259. mahalo for reading.

Dishes: Katsu Chicken, Fried Saimin, Korean Chicken
Comments: The katsu sucks big time. It used to be so good, now there is a funny taste (burnt oil?). The fried saimin is too small for the price and super oily. The korean chicken is delicious! But again, kind of small portions for the price. This place is just too expensive, their cashiers tend to ignore you unless you are placing an order and the wait is kind of long too.

Dishes: spam sushi
Comments: Spam sushi was great. Spam was in middle of two slabs of rice, wrapped in nori. Different style, but better. The spam does not slide off the rice.

Dishes: Crappy mochiko chicken
Comments: The quality of food has gone completly down hill. The food is sooo overpriced...who charges $7.75 for two scoops of rice, protein, and mac salad plate lunch? If the food was good, I would pay the price. I used to crave their mochiko chicken in highschool when they used to only have one store in the industrial area....now they don't care and just want to rip people off like Zippy's in Honolulu...i even heard the workers cannot afford to eat there either! Never going back...........
