“The best Hawaiian food in Chicago we are from the big island and this is Da best best Ono food highly recommend”
“This has been my husband’s and my go-to spot for fruit teas and boba for over a year now! We always pick up food and drinks from here, and they hit the spot every single time. We're so lucky to have this place in the neighborhood!”
“Been here a couple of times and it has been consistently great. Portion, freshness, variety. We love it and will be back many more times.”
“This place slaps. I just moved from vegas where alot of hawaiin culture is present and this place stands up among them. By far the best hawaiian food ive had in chicago a must try.”
“Love this little hole in the wall in little village! as soon as you walk in the door, you are met with such warm lighting, beautiful decor, and friendly faces. the smoothie was so delicious. the mango flavor is a must! your food is delivered by Radish the robot. shes so sweet, and its so fun to have her bring the food! going into the meal itself, we started with a TON of apps. “mozz sticks” a mozzarella stick wrapped with a spring roll wrapper. BUT also had some onions and possibly seasoning. YUM! crab rangoons: these guys were absolutely loaded. the flavor was incredible, and they were jam packed with filling! kalbi short ribs: oh my goodness. these were the star of the show. the glaze they had was delish and the meat was great quality. spam musubi: i have never had anything like this. i LOVE spam - but this looked like a large sashimi. teriyaki glazed crispy spam, rice wrapped with nori. so delish. and everyone was so kind and courteous. Thanks!”
“Solid Hawaiian food. Ordered thru UberEats. I got the combo plate with Spicy Chicken BBQ and chicken katsu. The spicy BBQ was spiiiicy. Not Thai spiced but spicy enough. Price is very reasonable for the quality and quantity.”
“Great portions, quick efficient service, cool vibes at the restaurant, and groovy music. Definitely a vibe. So much variety! I’m so grateful we have something different in this neighborhood. Lol”
“It's crazy how Chicago don't have enough Hawaiian restaurants, but I'm glad I pick this place as my first. Katie the cashier was very sweet and helpful, she made sure I picked the right choice for me. The BBQ beef bowl was Awesome!!!! They do give you alot so don't worry about them being stingy with it. The chicken Gyoza is Chinese dumplings lite, and the coconut butter Mochi is a weird tasting cake....unique but weird. The Hawaiian sun drinks are good, this place definitely has a returning customer.”
“Amazing food! Took a little bit to get but they were busy. Worth the wait.”
“Food was superrrrr good 1000/1000. Definitely recommend the furikake chicken 🤤.”
“Amazing food that is worth the price! Highly recommend to bring friends and family to try! My experience here has been amazing so far! I have ordered food for pick up and dined in and every time the food was delicious. We ordered : Kalbi short Ribs Garlic Furikake Chicken 🫶🏼 Loco Moco Huli Huli Chicken Teriyaki Chicken Spam Musubi Passion fruit tea Strawberry something 😣 I forgot All the food we ordered was delicious, we actually got a couple of combo plates to try the different options. I will say that my personal favorite was the garlic chicken. It was just so crispy and light and I definitely would order a plate of that just alone. Each of the plates came with a macaroni salad and rice. We also got free Spam Musubi because we spent over $40 for our meal but they have other freebie options. Our total cost for all the food we got was about $80 for 4 people (we ate good!) not including tip. But just be aware that we ordered some combo plates to save us some money. Just be patient when waiting for your food. I actually enjoyed waiting because the current business location used to be another restaurant called Chan Garden and it was one of my favorite spots to get Chinese food but they had closed down many many many years ago so it’s really nice to see the space activated again. 🥸Honestly, maybe my only complaint is that I haven’t tried all the food and secondly they don’t slice the chicken (thigh cut) so when we try to cut it up using the plastic fork or knife it was a little bit harder. I don’t know if there’s a reason why they’re not cut up but it’s not so much of a complaint just like a technical thing. 💖All in all, I’ll let the pictures do the talking and hopefully you enjoy the food as much as we did. ⚕️If you are diabetic, I would ask if you could adjust the sweetness of the drinks. I had toe taro milk tea at 50 % sweet and it was great :) I feel like if you get a combo plate or a regular platter, you can always save half for later to avoid glucose spikes but honestly, I didnt finish all of it and I was able to feel fine after so I think with this comment, it’s more about moderation without You Sacrificing quality delicious food.”
