So funny. After a day of Christmas shopping, I wanted to bring my mom to a local spot that we don't get to go to before because it's kinda of outta the way of our usual haunts.
Came here and got their misoyaki opakapaka & my mom got their oxtail.
I got the opakapaka bcuz I've gotten hounded by friends to try it; and I loved it but, was not expecting how big the filets of fish were going to be. Granted, I'm an idiot for even trying to complain about the size so I won't complain....it's just a shocker! I swear the fish filets were bigger than my fork. lol
Mom loved the oxtail. She said it made her heart warm. AWWW! lol
She said it's better than the oxtail from The California Hotel because the oxtail was all meat as opposed to The Cal's fatty oxtail. I liked how they had bok choy in their soup. Not something I've seen in other oxtails. Def adds to the specialty side of Island Flavors soup.
The workers all loved my mom and kept asking her if she liked the soup. lol Idk what it is about my mom; whenever we go to these fam local style spots, they always wanna make sure my mom is good. Which is great....adds to the family style establishment they got going here =)
Add this to another "MOTHER TESTED, MOTHER APPROVED" places my mom requires me to take her to in the future!
