Wow! Wow! Wow! So good! We came by chance since another restaurant was closed and so glad we made this choice! This was delicious! The crab Rangoon was so creamy and full of the filling! The fire chicken was so tendered and delicious! It is a little place but very clean! They even serve milk teas and other Hawaiian drinks! The prices are manageable! You must try!

The food is amazing. I’ve only been there once had their fire chicken, seafood combo, and they’re number three, which is some type of breaded chicken, which it tastes just like German schnitzel. My only complaint about the places that it’s closed on Mondays when I’m off and I wanna go back to it so bad!

I got the Spicy BBQ Chicken, and it did not disappoint. The portions are large, so I had ample leftovers to take home which was great! The meat was divine, the rice was fluffy, the macaroni salad was a nice buffer to the spice of the chicken. I would 10/10 recommend anything here!

It was actually very good! Keep in mind you do get a lot of food but we ate as much as we could. The furikake chicken was amazing and so was the chicken katsu with curry. I recommend those if you stop by here. This is one of the places I come when I’m in Nebraska and it’s a must have if you’re staying for an extended amount of time! The pork ribs were alright as well. Furikake chicken: 5/5 Katsu: 5/5 Pork ribs: 3/5 Don’t skip out on this place!

Wow! Howzit so delicious?! We tried the signature bbq chicken and chicken katsu with Taro milk tea. It came quick, was hot and fresh. The chicken was tender and the milk tea was delicious. They also had a brunch of cool Hawaiian drinks I'd love to come back and try. I will say the inside is very small with limited seating. We came at 2 pm on a Sunday and there was no place to sit inside and eat. We will be back!!

Love the welcoming feel with limited seating and casual vibes. There’s a wall of authentic Hawaiian drinks that’s enticing and will definitely have to come back and try. I’ve never had Hawaiian BBQ so had some questions and they were incredibly friendly. They recommended the Braddah combo which had a bit of everything and I’m so happy they did. Short Rib, chicken katsu, BBQ chicken, and even just the rice and Mac were perfect. Incredible flavor, ridiculously tender, rich and light all at the same time. My wife is GF and although there may not have been a lot of options for her, the owner was incredibly accommodating. She asked exactly what she couldn’t have, and went so far as to list every ingredient in some of the sauces and coatings to make sure she’d be okay. My wife got the shrimp and couldn’t stop saying how good it was. We just moved from Chicago and this may be one of our favorite places we’ve been to in awhile. Will absolutely be back!

The flavoring in the Loco Moco blended together so good. The spam with rice and seaweed (i forgot the name) and with spicy mayo sauce on top was the perfect combination and my mouth was blessed with this amount was flavor. Everything was well put together. When we came it was really busy, a lot of people were standing around but i now understand why it was SO GOOD 15/10!!!!!! Bring yhur whole family here sorry about the photos i ated it all
