“ I visited here when I went to Maui to visit some friends and wanted to satisfy my Asian itch, and I was very pleasantly surprised to find a place that sells Asian groceries and meals in this area. There were many interesting items on the menu, and I got an ube jian bing kind of like a Chinese crepe as well as some shumai. Very delicious! Highly recommend this place, and I wish there were more places like this on the island. ”

“ If you love the classics then you must have the char siu sweet savory super soft steamed bun. If youre looking for something with a modern twist, try the pepperoni pizza steamed bun. But If youre looking to satisfy your sweet tooth, then go straight for the super rich miso caramel brownie. Yum! If Mochi rolls are Ah and the pork hash is the best you ever tasted. your jam, Happy Opus are baked like a cinnamon roll but have a layer of fresh mochi and custard then painted with mango butter.
