I lived in Hawaii for over 12 years, so I don't know if that makes me qualified to pass judgment on a plate lunch place, I have eaten my share of them, but this place is as good as just about any I've had.
When you live miles away from the Ania, it's as close as you can get. My husband found this place and we've enjoyed it many times. It's about as far from our house in Vegas as you can get, but worth the drive for us, we love it.
I usually get the combination chicken katsu curry, hamburger steak and teri beef. This combination hits the spot for me. I think the curry flavors are accurate and the texture of the katsu is crispy, so I know it's close to the Hawaii flavors I remember.
When I am in the mood for plate lunch, I'll make this long drive!
