| - This is probably my favorite place to eat in Vegas. I usually eat on the grill side of the restaurant, and I've only been on the sushi side once, so this review is mostly about the plates they have. I usually get a 2-item combo which is a dollar more than highest priced item... Usually it's garlic chicken and and the chicken or pork with eggplant. The garlic chicken is just perfect. It's fried, and I want to drink the garlicky soy sauce that it's smothered in. The eggplant is also really good and they can make it spicy for you. I'm usually pretty sensitive to spicy food, but the spicyness isn't overwhelming and provides a tiny kick to your muth. Your plate is really full of the food you order with two scoops of rice and a mac salad. I've also tried the kalua pig and mochicko chicken. I'm not from Hawaii, so I don't know how the kalua pig compares, but it's alright... The mochicko chicken is really similar to the garlic chicken, but it's good in its own way.
There isn't much to say about the service since the grill side is more of a help yourself out, but the guys behind the register are all really cool, and if they were servers, I'm sure they'd be really good.
Also, the malasadas are great especially if they're fresh, and you can get them filled with custard, chocolate, or haupia cream. They also have a ton of desserts displayed when you first walked in, and somehow I've managed to avoid them (usually because I'm too full to think of dessert when I'm done), but from the way they look, I'm sure they're great.
As for the sushi side, I've only gone once and didn't do the AYCE since back then they had a special for 50% off sushi on Mondays (I'm not sure if it's still there, but I doubt it). It's been a while, but I think I really enjoyed the Hawaiian roll. And the food and service on the sushi side is just as good as the grill side... I can't wait to come back here and am always willing to drive across town to come here.
