Portion to Price: 3/5 - Pretty standard portion size.

It doesn't get any more local than this place. ATMOSPHERE: This mom & pop shop is located in what was once a Pizza Hut takeout spot.. MENU: Breakfast bentos, local plate lunches & bentos, and catering. FOOD: Roast Pork Upon first glace, I thought the dish was going to be too small to satisfy me, but it was sized perfect. The 3-4 slices of pork were tender and covered in a thin and savory brown gravy, and came with a big scoop of rice and lightly-pickled cabbage. I opted for macaroni salad as my side dish, which was very good, enough to garner a spot in my top 5 list. They mix in a little bit of diced white onions and carrots which even I could tolerate, and peas which I love. Affordable and tasty. Cheeseburger Deluxe Only in Hawaii do you see the word "deluxe" added to burger descriptions. This means you want the veggies included. The homemade patty was made with diced onions inside, and covered with 2 slices of provolone which was super tender but lacked flavor. Veggies were tomato, onions, and butter lettuce. The bun was nice and soft. I added just mayo at first which is how I usually like my burgers but that didn't do it justice so I added on mustard & ketchup which made it a little better. Meh, I'd pass on this. SERVICE: Don't expect traditional restaurant or hotel-like service. This is what I call Maui service, which isn't a bad thing by any means. A friendly lady took my phoned in lunch order at 7am, which was ready in 15 minutes. As soon as I got there, one of the ladies yells out "Da roast poke ordah stay hea!" When it came time to pay, I hand her my credit card. She says "Wait yeah, I only get one line," meaning someone was on the phone so the credit card machine was useless. About a minute goes by, and another employee yells "Hurry up she gotta use da credit card machine! She stay checking how many chickens get!" As I was laughing, I said that I could pay cash. She says "Oh das good!" Being that I like clean, crispy currency, I hand her a set of those. In amazement she says "Wow, look dis money, so nice and fresh off da press!" She waves the cash in the air and shouts to the workers "Look dis kine money, I neva see dis long time!!" Gotta love these ladies. OVERALL: Open early, friendly service, good local dishes.

By far the best and affordable breakfast we had on the island. The grannies and the aunties behind the counter make the food with love and you can taste it. The salmon donburi was filled with so much flavor making it the perfect light breakfast. Certain items might take a while so be patient and it's not a place you can sit down and eat.

Delicious homemade food made to order ???? we got the fried rice special with spam and over easy eggs, large bento, and piggy breakfast. Their fried rice is sooo good, I really recommend it, the texture and flavor of the rice is perfect. Love that the large bento comes with three different types of meat, so refreshing and filling breakfast! Also ate a spam musubi while waiting for our order ???? delicious

The woman running the restaurant was so good to us. It’s a little hole in the wall, but the service and food were great. Not really a dine-in place, however the owner did offer to set up a table for us which was really nice of her. Everything was made fresh and great prices!
