Feel like I got the wrong thing or they didn't give me my full order. This was 22 dollars

The fried chicken was super crispy. The Guava Chili sauce on the grilled chicken was unique (and really good ofc!). The Ahi Poke that came with the plate was super fresh and definitely hit the spot for spicy! Teriyaki meats and mac salad never miss here. Portion sizes are definitely worth the price.

Restaurant is well decorated for Halloween—including skeleton hula dancers. Legit Hawaiian street food with delicious flavor you will want to go back again and again.
