Nice food and very good local beer ...
Incredible Hawaiian BBQ! So happy that the locals told is about this place. They do the staples incredibly well. Service and food were awesome! We had the Shortribs and the Katsu. Also the Spam Musubi and the fresh Poki. So tasty. Parking sucks! Lol! But its worth the walk down the street.
Everything here is good! Love the ribs and the coconut shrimp is delicious! Everyone is so nice and helpful when you come in!
The house made poke in the fridge is really good. This place is a great traditional style teriyaki house. Family owned and operated. Every time Im in the Santa cruz area. I always try to stop in for some of the homemade poke.
The best chicken teriyaki this side of the pacific. Unusually good Mac salad, too, reminds me of the big island.
Katsu chicken was very fresh. Macaroni salad has the right amount of seasoning. Rice cooked perfectly. Definitely bring me back to middle school in Honolulu. Good job. Will come back again. Waitress was very pleasant.
Solid grill food with a variety of options on the menu. The waitresscashier was super friendly with explaining the terms. Definitely a warm friendly vibe!
Excellent Pulled Pork Pig and great beers on tap along with local favorites. Nice staff too the girl working was extremely helpful and even checked in on us, definitely coming back
