| - Great "home away from home" food alternative! Being from Hawaii, and now living in the OC, I had to be sure I got my Hawaiian food fix when visiting Vegas. And this came pretty close!
The Customer Service: 5/5
The lady behind the counter was very polite and friendly. She took my order, addressed me by my name each time. She made sure I was taken care of through my time and wait there. She offered various sauces to try with my meal. That's going above and beyond!
The Food: 4/5
Here's what we ordered...
Meat Jun- was a little bland to my liking. The meat was lightly seasoned and the egg tasted like, well, egg (unseasoned, perhaps?). Unlike most places in Hawaii where the taste of meat jun is a little on the sweeter side, this one fell short. However, I did pour extra meat jun sauce all over it to get it to my liking. They offer two types of meat jun sauces, original and spicy. I liked both.
Mochiko Chicken- just like home! Had no complaints on this one. Highly recommend!
Shoyu Poke- melt in your mouth goodness! Pretty close to home, but there was something lacking. Maybe it was the shoyu used, as someone previously mentioned. Also, the price.. $18.99/lb. It's a little on the high side. But hey, can't get as good as this in the OC!
Chantilly Cake- don't forget about dessert! Can't seem to find Hawaiian chantilly anywhere in the mainland. Kinda wish it had more chantilly frosting, but that probably jus the fat kid in me talking..
The Restaurant: 4/5
Clean! You don't walk away smelling like the restaurant unlike most Hawaiian/Chinese restaurants. A lot of seating also. Kinda wish they had outdoor seating for those who like sitting outside. Also, ample parking! However, There is one parking stall right in the front of the store reserved for the manager only. Almost parked in his/her stall until I noticed the sign. I would recommend reserving ALL stalls fronting the store for your customers.
See you next time I'm in town!
