| - Still on the quest to find other ono Hawaiian BBQ places in Arizona and taste of home. :-(
We came here on Saturday after doing some Kalikimaka shopping in the area and read the amazing reviews. Ohhh gotta go try this place out since Its on our way home.. Why not?
Walking in- it wasnt crowded and had a few ppl inside with the touristy Waik?k? decor and the honus - nice!
Looking at the menu can be a bit confusing because all I wanted was the BBQ chicken plate and I guess Its served as a bowl and I dont care for the cabbage - usually they add that as a filler and living up here, I have a habit of saying "No cabbage" not one time, but a few times... Lol!
And my husband ordered the regular plate lunch of Chicken Katsu and Teri Beef...This is the part I got confused because where this kind of food places has been invented "Hawaiian BBQ" plate lunch style - we always get (2) scoops rice, your entrees, and (1) scoop mac/potato salad or cabbage... but, they only serve (1) scoop rice- no can laddat! Lol... I can understand for the continent peeps but, for us born and raise in the islands gotta have a section for us to simplify the menu and cannot say cost cuz back home more expensive .. Hahaha! Just saying!
The food however is AMAZINGLY delicious, the BBQ chicken was sweet and salty but, also tender... and the mac salad was ono - on point with da meaai - no complaints. Ive been too a few places already in AZ and the mac salad was horrahz...
ohhh and need to train your Cashier what is Soy Sauce or Shoyu? Because when I went to go Look for ketchup/Shoyu (Soy sauce) - she looked or seemed confused in what I was asking for or I could be wrong but, you have to add these items to the condiment area and now, aloha Shoyu company is right in Las Vegas - might be cheaper now for shipping! Lol!
One of the cook understood what I was looking for and I told him "Gotta have the Shoyu on my rice!" Lol... he immediately gave me some and some katsu sauce and we was good to go!
Im Happy there are places up here that serve our local 808 grindz - I do miss our flavored food but, these places will do when im craving to eat plate lunch and too lazy to cook!
