About Food

The food at this kitchen offers balanced options, with chicken and waffles earning the title of crispiest and juiciest. Kalua pork hash impresses with its smoky tenderness, while guava pancakes capture tropical tanginess. However, don't expect creativity to shine through, as it often falls flat in terms of excitement.

  • Large Portions

    Portions are huge, could be shared or saved for later consumption.

  • Okay Taste

    Some found the flavors good but noted high prices as a downside.

  • Not Creative

    Nothing spectacular or mindblowing about the unique food items offered.

Vibe: Distracting sounds and unsettling atmosphere

The ambiance is as loud as a rock concert, making average conversation feel like undercover espionage. It's not ideal for intimate dinner dates either, where shouting sweet nothings across the table might replace candlelit exchanges. Overall, it's a challenge to unwind amidst the chaotic buzz of clanged dishes and chattering crowds.

    Ambiance loud and not relaxing, creates a stressful dining atmosphere.

Outdoor seating for pets and expansive areas for groups also stand out, offering comfort for those seeking a bit of space amidst the city's bustle.

  • Easy To Park

    Parking is abundant, free, and always available, making visits stress-free and convenient.

  • Okay Service

    Service is generally fast and friendly, though some find it impersonal and efficient.

  • Hard To Hear

    Ambiance is too loud and not relaxing, making conversation difficult.
