My recommendation is to avoid this place and do literally any other Hawaiian restaurant in the treasure valley.' I'm pretty sure we paid for a menu item we never received. Then when it was time to pay they had to make corrections and had us pay for two separate tickets. Out of the orders maybe 5 of them came out correctly. She didn't take down anyone's orders and then forgot half of them when she entered them in. The person was training and it seemed like they were just thrown to the wolves. The luau pork was good and the teriyaki chicken was fine. Went there for the first time today and the beef was super low quality, very close to jerky. But overall, the food was fresh and delicious.' My husband and I are food critics and felt like it was lacking flavor. I will always be a regular her.'Great staff and great customer service. Besides I do normally give a buck or two because he is so nice but I was really strapped that day.I do not know if this was the reason he was upset though.Seriously though, always amazing food and most times a good attitude.Update 11/16 Five Stars.

I understand they bring it out but is it worth 10-20% of my meal cost? No. We picked at the delicious Kailua pork on my plate and got the majority of my meal 'to go'They must have been having a really bad day:(I didn't tip because I rarely tip when the tip is requested before service and when I order at the counter. Wonder why he didn't just have her make more in the first place? My wife was unimpressed with her meal and I hardly ate mine because if she isn't happy I am not happy.

We already paid or I would have left even though my dish was the normal AMAZING GRUB that is served 95% of the time.Then when the nice lady from the back came out with the mayo I let her know it was too bad there wasn't fire sauce because it might have at least been enough to pull my wife out of her funk. I offered her my meal but she is too nice to complain to the guy who has always been nice and seems to always be working.

We eat out once a week and that's pretty much our only fun/relaxing we get to do with each other so the disappointed sad look on my wife's face upset me. Opposite of the beautiful flattened piece of thigh meat that was breaded and cooked to perfection the week prior. It was also missing the piece of cheese that my wife was so pleased with the week before. It looked like a small piece of car tire breaded and cooked in dark oil. The Katsu sandwich had an odd piece of chicken on it. He did ask if we wanted some mayo though which we said yes to with a bit of disappointment. We asked for fry sauce, something they normally have, and he had already turned away heading back to the kitchen. He simply said they had no curly fries like my wife wanted, just regular fries. He brought us the food and pretty much dropped it on the table. Most every time has been excellent food and the gentleman that is there to take your order is a super nice guy.Reason for four stars 11/16 Changed to 5 stars!On 10/31/20 The attitude from the normally friendly guy was negative. Stand and order at the counter and they will. DaKine Grindz brings you excellent Hawaiian cuisine at a great price.
