| - I leave full, but unfulfilled, and again I am forced to ask fellow Yelpers : WTF? Are we eating at the same place? I just paid $10.50 for a plate of chicken nuggets. They were the "sticky chicken" and the "sweet & sour"-- poor choices on my part, yes, but it sounded worth a try. Yelpers gave favorable nods to both. The "sticky" wasn't so much sticky, but salty. It was really, really salty. The sweet & sour was as advertised, but it's better (and cheaper) at most Chinese places. Chicken nuggets, though. You can bring your kids, they'll love'em (cheaper at McDonald's though). Me, not so much. My hubby's kahlua pork was excellent, I will say that. If we come back, I'll get a big steaming pile of that! The flavor was delicious, the consistency was tender and juicy-- definitely the highlight of an otherwise disappointing meal. Skip the masubi, though. It was a massive amount of white rice wrapped around a tiny sliver of spam, contained in a seaweed wrap. The seal it up in Saran wrap and microwave it to death. Spam is cheap, it's readily available and musubi is meant to be a big slice griiled in teriyaki sauce and wrapped up like a sushi roll. Fail on all points. The price is spot on for musubi ($4, usually gets you two big rolls, BTW), but you expect it to be better than this was. Service was quick and friendly here, which is another point in their favor. And the macaroni salad was decent, so I didn't feel right giving less than two stars. That Kahlua pork was damn good as well. I still can't muster more than two stars here. There are better options out there for your Hawaiian fix, not to mention cheaper as well. All told, this was mediocre at best.
