We stumbled upon this Hawaiian barbecue spot while exploring, and I'm so glad we did. The mixed plate was a feast - short ribs, smoked pork, and chicken that were bursting with flavor. The **mac salad** was a hit, too! The staff went above and beyond, offering excellent recommendations and genuine warmth.
I loved the cozy atmosphere and appreciated the quick service. Just a heads up, they smoke everything with **strawberry guava wood**, which truly adds to the unique taste. Don’t miss out next time you’re in Oahu! 🍽️
