"I like the ambience of this place. It?s humble, the natural light is nice, and the mural of Makana is quite tasteful. What was not tasteful, however, was the food. I ordered their loco moco. When I first got it, I was confused as to why there wasn?t gravyon the dish. Then, I opened up the burger patty and saw that it was still raw inside, but charred on the outside. I didn?t wantto keep on eating it, so I asked the waitress if me and my friend could get another one that was cooked (we ordered the samething). She saw the mistake and took the initiative to correct it with the kitchen. When she returned the dishes to thekitchen, I heard one of the kitchen staff blatantly say ?this is fine, they don?t know what they?re talking about?. My friendsand I were seated by the kitchen door, and to hear that was quite disappointing, because I know what raw meat looks like. A fewminutes later, the new loco moco dishes came out. Everything was over cooked, and it simply was not a good dish. At least theyadded the gravy. As someone who?s eaten many a loco moco in the past, this is not an authentic representation of it. The fishtacos and spam musubi were fine. However, it was missing seasoning and acidity, crucial elements that make up Hawaiiancuisine. I would not recommend eating here. The quality of the food needs improvement, and the price simply does not reflectit."
