Lyssa A.Lyssa Ashlee: BEST KAHLUA PORK EVER! Especially with their side of macaroni salad so delish! And you can't beat their Pele's Ice Cream. Preferably the coconut. BBQ Pork, Lumpia Shanghai, calamari and spam musubi!

Melissa G.Melissa Goodnight: Calamari was a little overcooked, but the chicken teriyaki was delicious. Also had a Mai Tai which was a little strong and pretty large, so you only need one unless you're looking to get lit. Was good

DJ A.DJ A.S.I.A.: Try Pele's Ice Cream for dessert. (Coconut or Green Tea... preferably coconut). It's the best... ANYWHERE!
