I consider myself a semi expert on Hawaii comfort food seeing as how I grew up on the islands and learned to cook there. The food looks great but the flavors are not there at all. The whole meal left me unsatisfied and I just tossed it half way through. I spoke to two other customers near by and the had the same experience.
Here is just a few of the issue:
-Wrong rice. Needs to be "sticky".
-Bland katsu sauce that came already on made the chicken soggy.
-kalbi ribs were really thin, over cooked, and chewy.
-Mac salad just tasted like mayo and didn't hold together.
I'm really not sure where the got these recipes from. Now I know why there was no line. You can easily find better "gourmet" kind grip do at your local L&L barbecue.

A refreshing place to eat at the mall especially at the food court. It is one of the few places in SCV that you can eat Hawaiian food.
They serve all of typical popular Hawaiian dishes like chicken Katsu, BBQ chicken, and shrimp. They also a good selection of burgers and salads. What I enjoyed the most are the juices. My favorite is the watermelon Juice. A must try when visiting the restaurant.

I love their food but giving only one star because of the cashier’s lousy attitude and lack of customer service. Spoke to the manager and he is ignorant of customer service as well. Made excuses and the cashier lied to him about why I wanted to see him.

I was born and raised in Hawaii and this is by far the worst Hawaiian food I have had in California. They made nothing right and it didn't even taste good.

First time coming here and it was amazing. Everything was soo good. Came back the same day just to try something new. Waiting for them to make an Island Pacific in Bakersfield.

This is the best place to eat in my opinion in the food court. One of my favorite restaurants in town.
