As we walked in, we were greeted by a friendly cashier. Since it was my friend's first time there, he gave us the run down on their menu. I ordered a half sized rice bowl with luau pork, steak and brown rice and my friend ordered the Oahu fish sandwich special.
You get a number and they bring the food out to your table. Before our food arrived, they gave us complimentary chips and salsa (their version). The chips were a bit thick and hard but fresh and the salsa was pretty good and mild.
My friend loved her fish sandwich with her mix of regular and sweet potato fries. The fish looked crunchy and the bun was soft. The sweet potato fries were my favorite - they are crinkle cut!
My bowl was abundant with perfectly cooked rice and the highlight was the luau pork, it was divine! The steak was good but you don't get much of it with the half portion. I loved the veggies - zucchini, carrots and broccoli. I think their rice bowls are much better than Samarai Sam's by far. SO many choices!! My only suggestion is for them to not serve so much rice. It's a bit of a waste....I would rather get more veggies. Maybe I will ask next time! They also gave me two sauces on the side because I couldn't choose between the jerk or the teriyaki. The jerk was a bit salty for my taste but the teriyaki was perfect. Of course, too much rice and sauce preference is a personal thing ;-)
I am a stickler for iced tea and they had that yummy tropical tea that you usually get at some of the Asian chains.
Overall, the service, atmosphere and food were great! I will definitely be going back.
