| - Pro Tip: The surrounding area is kind of sketchy, but no fear, go inside!!
Before I tried this place, I heard some mixed reviews. Since I work pretty close to here, finally decided to give it a try. Went in with 2 coworkers for lunch and we loved it!! There are premade bentos and musubis (ume, spam, hot dog, and portuguese sausage) for those on the go that need to grab a quick meal. Then there are all the different plate lunches available. I didn't know where to begin. I wanted to try 12 different items!! And that isn't including the manapua and pork hash!! I was quite overwhelmed, we all were. It took us a good 10 minutes just to get our bearings.
Visit #1 - I finally decided on the garlic chicken and chili frank mix. My buddy got a manapua and roast pork plate. My other buddy got 2 manapuas, 4 pork hash, 1 spam musubi, and 1 ume musubi. Everyone was super happy with their food. It was so good, in fact, that we decided to go back 3 days later.
Visit #2 - I got the hawaiian combo (lau lau, kalua pig, lomi salmon, mac salad, and rice) with a small side order of squid luau. The lau lau was packed, unlike some other lau lau that is all leaf and not much meat. For the price, you can't go wrong. you get a lot of food for your money. However, the squid luau was a little bit too sweet for my taste. My buddy got a teriyaki chicken plate with 3 pork hash. My other buddy got a spam musubi, 2 manapuas, 4 pork hash, and a 702 bento. We all agreed that visit #2 was even better than visit #1.
My new go to spot for 808 grub in the Vegas Valley!! Everyone is so super friendly and helpful. The staff guided my 2 haole friends through the menu and answered all of their questions as well as gave a few suggestions. Next time I'll give their manapua and pork hash a try.
