Absolutely, the fish tacos lived up to all the positive reviews! The mango slaw was fantastic, and the fish was incredibly tender. The BBQ sauce that accompanied the Kaluha pork tacos was also excellent. We returned a few days later and sampled the coconut shrimp. The meat was very tender, and you could see the coconut in the crispy batter. Simply delicious!
There's ample parking available, and you need to order everything at the counter before finding a seat. The beer selection is limited, primarily featuring local brews. There’s plenty of seating, and I was pleasantly surprised by how clean the place is. I really liked the surfboard-style tables; they have a nice design. I tried the Spicy Poke Bowl, and you can't go wrong with that! The dish was delicious, the beer was refreshing, and the service was excellent. I give it a solid 5 stars all the way!
We visited for lunch one day and returned for dinner on another occasion. The fish tacos are delicious and generously filled, to the point where they can be a bit hard to manage, but in a delightful way. One suggestion for improvement would be to offer a good hot sauce to enhance the flavors. Both times we opted to sit outside due to Covid concerns. The tables are well-spaced, and guests are requested to leave their trash, dishes, and condiments on the table when finished, likely to ensure that the staff can clean and sanitize properly afterward.
I left this restaurant feeling extremely satisfied and happy. The fish tacos are definitely the top seller here for a reason. I highly suggest trying them with their tiger sauce, a sweet and spicy Thai-inspired sauce. The coconut shrimp was absolutely delicious, and the fries were a generous portion and perfectly crispy.
My friend who is a local recommended this place with the preface that she doesn’t even like fish but she dreams of these fish tacos! They are phenomenal! The fish, the sauce, the mango come together masterfully but also very messy so grab some napkins because you won’t look pretty eating them but it is oh so worth it. I didn’t get to try the kalua pork taco which was also recommended but after trying the fish tacos I don’t know if I could order anything else on the menu!
