Island Sushi and Hawaiian Grill has the best Hawaiian food on the mainland. It is totally delicious and reasonably priced. Half off sushi rolls?! Hello! They're practically paying me to eat. (And if I get enough comps from the Plaza, they ARE paying me to eat!)
I am a sucker for chicken katsu. And, the sauce can make it or break it. It is amazing here. The katsu is a deliciously fried indulgence. The chicken is tender and crispy. Loved it! On another occasion, I ordered a combo platter with a Hawaiian style beef entree (no longer seems to be on the menu) and it was also great. But, my heart still belongs to chicken katsu.
My husband has ordered saimin and kahlua pork, both of which I've taken bites of, and both were delicious.
The seaweed salad is some of the best I've ever had. I've actually ordered it and split a roll and have been totally full.
The malassadas are delicious. Do yourself a favor and regulate your food consumption so that you can save room for a 'ssada. You'll thank me later.
Food is authentic. Employees are friendly. Service is prompt.
