| - Met the hubby for a work-day lunch break here, after another co-worker gave it great reviews. Their location may be difficult to find for someone who doesn't live/work in the area, but the food is worth the trip.
We shared the Kailua Pork (that everyone raves about) and the chicken stir-fry with rice, potato salad and cole slaw.
First of all, the owners were very nice and you could tell they truly care about what they do. They are recently transplanted from Hawaii, so their perspective, I believe, is authentic!
Both dishes were amazing, generously portioned and perfectly priced for lunch. The pork is beyond-tender. I especially loved the sauce for the stir-fry chicken (I believe they use the same sauce for beef, tofu, veggies, etc.). It has a little kick to it and lots of flavor which I love. All and all, both dishes were great and we even had enough for a small leftover meal.
I didn't notice the bento box sampler until after I'd ordered and I think I'll try that next time--a little of each of the sides and your choice of a sampler of proteins. Perfect for me!
All and all, great food, friendly owners (and this beats the pants off that L&L Hawaiian place off Happy Valley), and good prices.
