👍 Ordered the Teri chicken plate with Macaroni salad from their food truck :) I wish everything was a bit more savory, but loved the people and the authentic Hawaiian guava juice they carried! People often mention good, chicken, Hawaiian, plate, Chicken, sandwich, restaurant,

    First time I at here and was pleased. I had the three meat combo and it was good. The macaroni salad is really good. while here the manager brought us a sample of the Katsu Chicken and will definitely get this next time. This place has a nice vibe and the employee's are nice and actually checked up on us. There was a couple of spots in the front but we parked in the back of the building. I would definitely come here again or recommend this place. I had no idea they did breakfast here too. Thanks for the good eats and ya'll guys did awesome!

    The food here is FANTASTIC! The staff is really nice and friendly, as well. Highly recommend the chicken katsu, the kalua pork sandwich, & the loco moco. The spam musubi and macaroni salad are perfect, & the restaurant itself is super cute and comfy. Love this place, will be back again and again!

    Nestled in the commercial area in the middle of Abq you'll find this little hut tucked between buildings. Indoor dining is spacious and set up is very nice. Let me get to the food. Dee- li-shusss!!!!! Stopped in on my lunch for their lunch special and I walked away with left overs and a very happy and pudgy tummy. Definitely coming back to try more on their menu. Great staff, courteous and efficient.

    Walked in to the restaurant at 2:35pm. Ordered and food was brought out in to go containers as they close at 3pm. The one complaint I would have about this place is that they are only open limited hours, and usually it is on a Friday or Saturday night that I’m craving something from here. The food is excellent, well prepared. The restaurant is clean, the service is excellent. I ordered the Moco Loco, of course, and a Combination Plate. Both were generous portions, and enjoyed on different days for lunch as I live in Los Lunas, but the place has been on my to go to list for some time, and I was not disappointed. I definitely will be back.

    We just moved from Portland, OR where Hawaiian food is abundant and delicious. I can say this place absolutely hold up to if not exceeds those standards. Excellent food at a fair price!

    The food was great! The service was excellent. We were in and out really fast. It is great to find an Hawaiian food place close to my house.

    I definitely recommend eating here. I would give ten stars if I could. My husband and myself are truck drivers out of Oklahoma. We decided to try something new. When I say the food was good it was really good. We recently had a load going back to that area. We took it just to go visit this restaurant. Sadly they close early so we didn't get to stop by.

    I want to give 5 Stars but I still can’t get over the Kalua Pig with BBQ Sauce, that definitely threw me for a loop. Ordered the Combo Plate and they were out of Chicken. Traveled over 200 miles for their Huli Huli Chicken, Sadly no Chicken and they were closing. Unfortunately they close at 3pm. I was a little disappointed. BUT, on a good note their customer service is awesome with Aloha. The Food was still Delicious! And their decor brought me back to Hawaii. Definitely returning and hopefully they’ll have Huli Huli Chicken.

    Super laid back atmosphere and the lady upfront who takes orders is awesome and always brings our food to us ..also the food is very good I recommend the katsu chicken

    What can I say other than everything was PERFECT! I’m from San Diego where Hawaiian food/L&L is a staple, and I actually think this is way better than L&L. I got the teriyaki chicken plate and my son got the katsu chicken plate and we both loved it. He said it was bussin! 😁 The Hawaiian drinks and spam musubi were amazing too. Don’t be intimidated by the industrial area or parking situation, the restaurant is really warm and inviting and comfortable inside and the staff is so sweet and friendly. Prices were reasonable too! ($13 lunch plates with good portions, $5 spam musubi, $3 drinks) This is a real diamond in Albuquerque. I only wish they were open longer! But that just makes it that much more of a treat to eat at. (Also the teriyaki sauce spilled a little bit in the bag as I was driving home, they didn’t give it to me that way!)

    Food was okay, a bit salty but the inside is good, plenty of seating. Parking is in the back and quite limited. Wide menu including breakfast only served up until 11am. Decent plating giving scoops of rice. I did ask for all rice but still got the mac salad.

    I had called 3 times and been placed on hold. None of those times the phone was actually picked up. One of the times I heard the lady who placed me on hold have a 10 minute conversation. None the less, I decided to go in and there was quite a line and one person on register. When I ordered my food I noticed the person on register was also preparing the food with no gloves or hand washing. Not very sanitary. The food was good. Not remarkable but had flavor, and the menu was what I would have expected!

    I was in Hawaii in march so I was super excited to try some of the foods again! The Kailua pork and macaroni salad are GREAT.

  • 5/5 Wes C. 1 year ago on Google
    Now this is a restaurant. Atmosphere is simple. The food is out of this world. The owner and companion sure know how to treat you well and make amazing food. And lots of it at a very reasonable cost. Our office eats there once a week. Kudos to the owner. Simply AMAZING.

    Hawaiian comfort food! Need I say more?! Try the spam Musubi! Try the chicken katsu, you can’t go wrong

    Absolutely spectacular experience!! Service was incredible! Food was amazing, everything we had was delicious! If you are thinking about going don’t hesitate. The loco moco is perfection, breakfast plate with sausage was wonderful. Flavors and presentation were excellent. The food coupled with the service we received make this one of the top spots in Albuquerque!

    The food is delicious!! The spam musubi is on point. They do a great job of bringing the Hawaiian flavor to everything. They have weird hours though, so it’s not a place we visit often unless we happen to be nearby. Would love to see another location on the east side! 🙏🏼🤞🏼

    I ordered the fried chicken sandwich and did not get the sandwich, I got a weird plate of chicken. When I asked about my sandwich she gave me a cold piece of bread and said “There’s your sandwich.” After my wife and I paid over $40 for the order … my wife lived in Hawaii for years and she was very disappointed..

    Lady that takes your order rather Laugh at you, if you don't remember the correct name. Been eating here for 2 yrs.... and u still don't know the name of the small fried chicken nuggets, but the last last in the front always knew what I was talking about. This younger lady rather say in @ the wrong place. Then when she realized she was passing me off, ask what side I wanted. I told her it's pretty hard to support local when your like this, I'll keep my money. If the owner cares to acknowledge this, I'll take it down (I'm not mad I love your food) but if you don't care then I'll keep this review up and spend my money elsewhere.

    The food was delicious! There was so many orders ahead of us and we still got our food in a decent time. Louanne did a fantastic job!

  • 5/5 Nick F. 4 years ago on Google
    Yummy Hawaiian food. We tried the Kahlua nachos, Katsu Chicken, Pulled pork plate, and the Pulled pork sandwich. Is it as good as the same food in Hawaii? Nothing is as good as pig dishes in Hawaii, but this is as close as you'll get in New Mexico! Recommended.

    Totally relaxing and friendly environment! The owners of the establishment work there and interact with guests! Super sweet people! Delicious food! Me and my family can't help but go back!
