| - I've been here a couple times in the past, but never cared for it. Even for the "Hawaiian" fare, it was all just a shrug. I know everyone raves about their Oxtail Soup, but I haven't had it. It's not one of my favorite dishes (even when my mom makes it). Anyway, I have visited twice recently because my brother has been receiving dining comps and I rarely say "no" to a free meal.
During my first re-visit, our sister joined us and we ordered various breakfast and dinner options. I had a hankering for Corned Beef Hash (the non-homemade type), so I ordered it with eggs. Canned corned beef hash is so wrongfully tasty. I seriously don't understand my taste for it (or Spam), but I know that other people who grew up in Hawaii understand. Anyway, it's nothing spectacular and it's unfortunately salty, so it needs rice (which sucks since it already has starch from the potatoes!). My sister ordered a Loco Moco, another popular dish in Hawaii made of rice, hamburger patty, eggs, and brown gravy. I don't eat this dish often, but it's still enjoyable when it's made well. This particular one wasn't very good, mostly due to the substandard gravy. We all chose the AYCE salad bar as well since it was so inexpensive ($5.95). It's not expansive, but completely worth it.
The second time, my brother and I decided to try their Breakfast Buffet for $6.25/person (6AM - 11AM). SIX DOLLARS AND TWENTY-FIVE CENTS!!! That is insanely cheap. Completely ridiculous and awesome. They offer scrambled eggs, rice, Portuguese sausage, bacon, grilled ham, biscuits with sausage gravy, corned beef hash, hash browns, French toast, various canned fruits, and a few other items. One plate of rice, eggs, and just five pieces of Portuguese sausage would cost you more than $6.25 at another restaurant. It's a crazy deal. Oh, and you also get free juice with your buffet. A can of Hawaiian Sun juice? YES PLEASE! I also took home an order of Zippy's chili and rice which was cool that they have it. I used to love Zippy's chili, but it's not something I crave anymore.
Okay, so the food isn't top notch and I thought I was going to have a heart attack just by looking at the breakfast buffet (seriously though, the red heat lamps are slightly blinding) - where are the vegetables?! But for the value, my goodness, it is worth just the few good things they offer! Just beware the hash brown...it was disgustingly dry and tasteless. Oh, and it's really difficult to screw up bacon, so you're safe there!
For a really inexpensive "Hawaii Eats" meal for any hour of the day, this is worth visiting. Just leave your expectations at the door and trust me, you'll have a good time.
