Constantly satisfied whenever I eat here. TK Cafe has amazing portions especially for the price. A personal favorite is the Chicken Katsu, but honestly order whatever you want, it's gonna be good. All around a must try if you need lunch on the go

Been coming here for a couple of years amazing food quality, portion size, and price!! They even came to my table and gave us a complimentary drink. They're the best!!

I have been coming here for a few years now and the food is always good. Myself and my family enjoy this place and it definitely puts Ono too shame in my opinion. The service is good as well, always polite.

Since Top Restaurant was closed on Mondays, I decided to eat here since I was already in the area running errands. There is no other comparable place around Monrovia for local Hawai'i plate lunch and it was good to see their business thrive. It has been a minute since I ate here and it was good to know that the food was still consistently good. Service was normal, nothing to complain or praise about. It is a very small family restaurant and I noticed it was two people in the kitchen (husband and wife) and their son also helping between the front register and kitchen. I ordered the Hawaiian BBQ plate for take-out and immediately noticed the weight after picking up my food. The plate came with one scoop of rice (instead of two) and mac salad. There was a small fistful of teriyaki beef, one galbi short rib (I was expecting two since most places give out two pieces), and A LOT of BBQ chicken. I'm not sure if it this is normal but they gave me about 6 pieces of chicken thighs. I wish they gave equal portions of less chicken and more beef, They are located at the corner of the Ralphs Plaza so don't worry about parking. I would rank this place above L&L (especially the garbage location in Pasadena) and Ono's. I would rather support local family businesses like Top and TK. Overall, the food is good here with big portions. I would visit again but not any time soon. I still prefer Top Restaurant since the taste and portions are the same and there is a fair distribution of the meats.

I love this place! The staff is always friendly and willing to give you extra sauces, utensils/napkins, etc. Everything I've tried here has been really good! They have great Hawaiian BBQ - the bbq chicken, chicken katsu, and BBQ beef are very tasty. There are tons of combo options and they let you substitute or switch so you can basically get any combo you'd like. They come with lots of rice, cabbage/broccoli and mac salad. Extra Teriyaki and katsu sauces on the side! I'm also a sucker for Spam dishes so I've tried both the spam fried rice and fried noodles. Both are good, kind of basic in flavor but solid and a HUGE portion. It could last me 3-4 meals. There are lots of rice and noodle entrees. They have lots of appetizers and dim sum. Spam musubi is great. I've tried their pork buns, shumai, sesame balls. Everything has been delicious. They also serve many different drinks, including teas and slushes. I tried a Taro slush with boba. It was sooo good! Perfect on a hot day and it had a great taro flavor with just the right sweetness level. Overall I definitely recommend this place. They are a small family run business, with friendly, generous and respectful staff. Their prices remain lower while their portions are huge and food is consistently good. Plenty of options and variety and great selections of combo plates and family deals. The interior isn't super modern but everything appears clean and attended to.

4.25 rating for this Chinese-owned Hawaiian & Asian restaurant... the staff is fluent in English. The lady in the front is hard-working and helpful. She allowed me to substitute an item on one of the combo mixes. Prices are still affordable (low $10's) compared to other restaurants. Covid-19 is now over, so you can dine-in as well. Food is still pretty good as before!

Portions are larger and the restaurant caters! Food was not too impressive but the portions were HUGE! I am definitely see the appeal of this restaurant. The meat was plenty for To Go and a whole Family.

This little Hawaiian place caught my eye when I was at the Sanrio store next door and I decided to give it a try since it had great reviews. I ordered the family meal (2 BBQ beef and teriyaki chicken), sesame balls, and spam musubi. The price I paid for everything was so worth it. The family meal was only $50 and it came with 3 different choices of meat entrees, steamed rice, and macaroni salad. As you can see in my photos, it's a lot of food. All of the food tasted pretty good too! The meat is a little tough though which would be my only complaint. Service is great and there's plenty of parking as well. There is not a lot of seating inside so take out would be best in my opinion.
