The place is clean but it’s a far cry from good Hawaiian food. The kalua is over cooked and mushed to h***, on top of day old, dry, mushy rice. The Mac salad might as well be candy it’s so sweet and using cavatappi instead of short Mac is just a waste, maybe if it tasted good it’d be worth it. To top it all off they threw in coleslaw with sesame seeds on top of it, as if that would help get it away from tasting like KFC. Plus they said they were out of any kind of soy sauce. Overall terrible, and i feel bad for San Luis Obispo for having this restaurant rated as 4 stars.

I ordered the nobu chicken, spam matsubi, and sea weed salad online and took it home to eat. The shop it’s self was nice and clean. The staff was friendly and welcomed me. I will start with the spam mastubi. It was alright. Normally I get enjoy this dish but this one did not stand out to me much. It felt bland and I didn’t taste much of the spam. It was a big size though so that was nice. The seaweed salad was great. Big portion and a lot of flavor to it. I would definitely order this again. The nobu chicken was definitely delicious! This dish tells you it is spicy and I love spicy. What I love about this dish is how it’s not overwhelmingly spicy but slowly builds overtime allowing you to taste the flavor and still get heat. The chicken in general tasted amazing and I would highly recommend this dish specifically. Overall, the price is great for the portion size. Would definitely recommend trying this place for the nobu chicken alone. This is what earned the 5 starts.
Every time I've gone they always give you a good portion of nobu chicken. Definitely worth it!

Macaroni Salad
I came here to eat lunch. I paid $16 + tax for one plate of teriyaki mix. The ribs have a strong vinegar flavor and are very fatty. The best meat on the plate was the chicken. The chicken didn't have an overpowering flavor. The beef was very fatty and had a coffee or similar flavor to it. At this location, I recommend avoiding the beef. The macaroni salad wasn't really impressive. It was simply simple macaroni salad with very little flavor. The cole slaw was mediocre at best and tasted like water. The location is convenient to downtown, and if you have a stroller, the outside sitting is convenient. With a stroller, getting around the indoors is difficult.

Nice people and atmosphere. Good macaroni salad and claw. Big problem with the shrimp though as they are still in shell. You don't get any flavor after you peel it off.

This place is so good. Huge portions and fresh food. The Mac salad and coleslaw sides are top notch, and the crab rangoons are always a hit. Great Hawaiian bbq spot.

Nice place for casual food. Portions were big and tasty. Macaroni salad has a little twist from those I had at other places - good. Prices were fair. Tables included outdoor seating. Surprisingly, it was not too noisy being out adjacent to the street.

Great place, not too busy when we went.
The food was decent and the staff were friendly.
Not super cheap, but decent enough proportions as 3 plates were able to fill 5 people.
