| - Saw the high Yelp reviews for this place, and we were staying in the adjoining Main Street Station, so we ended up in here for dinner one night. We got there around 7, and there was a line of maybe a dozen folks ahead of us.
I had the saimin (good, but nothing special), as well as the garlic chicken. GF got the combo plate that had Korean beef and chicken, along with the obligatory rice and macaroni salad. This isn't fine dining by any stretch - presentation isn't really a concern, and we're not talking about any crazy complimentary flavors or subtle undertones or anything. Portions are large - GF and I could easily have just split the combo plate and been more than full. Solid, stick-to-your-ribs, Hawaiian style food. The beef and chicken were solid, maybe a bit fatty, but that's to be expected.
Cash only was a bit of a surprise, but fortunately I hadn't handed over all my money on the blackjack tables.
This is one of those places that looks like a hole in the wall, but looks like it's always packed. Large portions and great bang for the buck. Not amazing food, but a great value, especially if you're craving Hawaiian style.
