| - Retro Bleu Cafe is a hidden gem!
I mean that both figuratively and literally, since this little place is tucked away in an old little building next to a car wash. If you are not intentionally looking for this place, you probably wouldn't even notice it. I found Retro Bleu on the Yelp app when I was looking for a place to grab some lunch. A few interesting places came up on my search but this place caught my eye when I saw a picture of one of their bento boxes. Ooh la la, I'm in love! My eyes definitely turned into hearts when I saw all the pictures of their food. Did someone say garlic fried chicken wings and manapua?! MARRY ME.
Garlic fried chicken wings-- ONO! Sweet, crispy breading on the outside and juicy on the inside. The wings were a decent size, too. Great with rice! ...but then again, everything goes with rice for me.
Mac salad-- Decent. It was a great addition to the wing plate, however it wasn't very memorable.
Original bento-- YAS! Garlic fried chicken wings, BBQ beef, shrimp tempura, redondo hot dog, spam and rice with furikake. What a line up! Comfort food galore. Insert more heart eyes here.
Garlic Shrimp Fries-- Delicious shrimp (about 6) and a mountain of fries. Can't go wrong with this combination. A great app to share or even a meal for one.
Manapua-- A fluffy bun filled with BBQ pork-- who can say no? Not even me, because I ate all that food yet I still bought a manapua to go. And trust me, that manapua didn't make it too far since I scarfed it down in the car. No shame in my nom nom game.
The service was great and I know that I will be back again. A trip to Retro Bleu is pretty far for me but it will be worth the drive every time. If you are looking for legit Hawaiian comfort food, you need to check out Retro Bleu!
