"The shave ice at Nakas isn’t very traditional - Lava Ice, as it’s called, is a frosty, innovative treat that combines blended ice cream with scoops of shave ice. There are two bases to choose from - strawberry or pina colada - but if you’re looking to fill that summer vacation-shaped hole in your heart, get the Island Escape. Sweet and creamy pina colada ice cream is poured over a bed of slightly-tart pineapple shave ice, and while it may not be the tropical getaway you deserve, it’s as close as you’re going to get from the front seat of your car. Which counts for something, right?" - Kat Hong

We drove from 40 miles, on a FRIDAY to try this place. It did not disappoint. The customer service was beyond excellent. The food was soooo delicious. I had the Loco Moco and my husband had the Mochiko chicken and bacon fried rice. It was fresh, seasoned, and savory. We enjoyed every bite. They even gave us a FREE shaved ice 🍧 DELICIOUS. This was worth the drive in traffic. 💯

This the most generic hawaiian food ever. I was expecting higher quality food. One star for low quality bottom line. One star for their chicken salad. The pictures are misleading. In person salad is pale and bland looking. The fried wontons are the stand out. The salad is missing something to tie it together and higher quality iceberg lettuce needed. There was a sign posted in front of register that said... We now add almond slices to salads (no additional charges were indicated). There was no almonds. It will be hard to get me to come in and try the other dishes. I got multiple plates to empress clients because they state it authentic hawaiian. Way below par.

Food Is nice. I think the place leans more towards Asian food. They have decent servings for the price.

I love their white chicken teriyaki, no other place seems to have it like this!
