| - Remembering how we all enjoyed the food truck when they're at Pure Aloha so we were very excited about the stand alone restaurant. I want to say fist and foremost about the effort and Aloha you get from the owner and workers, much Mahalos for that!
Pulehu steak and Korean chicken combo was all we used to order from the truck and would always only get that meal, and sometimes order that to go before leaving the event, Haha, how nutz is dat!
Unfortunately Teri steak and a breaded steak instead is served and not the more basic Pulehu unless it's on a special? I was kinda confused about not having what to me makes them very popular with the truck?
Korean chicken was ONO as I remembered and I had it with the breaded Teri beef (not bad).
Kalua "pork" was a little bland and not very much of a portion for a single item entree.
The Teri beef was not very tasty at all and was very chewy.
Overall, just feels like they're still trying to work out the kinks on the menu, I can only imagine getting all of the suggestions from all the customers.
I think you're probably hearing the same things, "do you have the Pulehu steak"? Haha, but I bet it's true.
I'm not biased on local foods at all and I know the differences between "Hawaiian BBQ" places and the real local Kine grinds in Vegas and Henderson and this one just fell a few spots on my list of to go places.
My 2 cents, Pulehu being the first, Korean chicken being the second items on the menu, and with the cool monitor menu..advertise your entrees with pictures! It'll be a lot more eye appeal just seeing how ONO everything looks before you order.
You can never satisfy everyone, and the "Flip Side" of the menu only made me want to order Filipino food instead, but I drove 20 mins to get my local fix. Almost made me feel like I was ordering from a 2 restaurant menu instead of 1.
I for one go to places where I know I can order and always be satisfied with the same good old food that there're popular for, I hope this place will be one of them in the future, but for now we'll have to wait and see.
