First of all, I incorrectly thought I was going to the other high rated Hawaiian place because I didn't pay attention to the name or address. I just knew this place replaced Julio too's (dating myself) and checked it out.
Pretty much everything about my meal was poor. All of the sides are either really bad impersonations of Korean sides, or corn straight out of the Del Monte can. The seaweed used white vinegar, the cabbage was bland, and the clear noodle things were just not tasty.
I got a combo plate with BBQ chicken and the short ribs. The short ribs were chewy with very tough fat on them. They were not that good. The BBQ chicken was not that good either and resembled slimy dark meat chicken that you find in a Panda Express rice bowl. I guess the white rice was... white... and made of rice. At least they didn't screw that part up.
for $10 I expect a much better meal. I ate about half of it and threw the rest away. I will never go back, and if you are someone that wants a lot of these flavors, go check out Cho Dang in Chandler. It seems a lot of Paradise's (horribly ironic name) food is highly influenced by Korean food but poorly done. You can get a better meal at a sit down place for less money at Cho Dang.
If you want food that rivals Samurai Sam's, Kyoto Bowl, or Panda Express than this is your place. If you want decent food I suggest looking elsewhere. I will be checking out the other Hawaiian joint around the corner to see if it is any better. I am clueless on how this place averages 4 stars. They deserve 1 star, but I was going to be nice and go with 2. However, I just remembered that they do not have a public restroom which always chaps my ass.
