| - I wanted something different, something I'm used to from home. First thing that popped in my head was eating at a Hawaiian place, but I didn't feel like driving down Rainbow to get it. i was on my way to get my husband for lunch when I saw this place in the same strip mall near an Albertsons. I figured, "why not?" and went inside.
It's fairly small so there isn't much seating, but from the looks of things people order take out A LOT. That's a good sign. I checked out their menu, and it's nice and simple. It's the same menu I've seen at several Hawaiian bbq restaurants around town, so I went for the usual chicken katsu with steamed rice and my husband ordered fried shrimp and their seafood platter.
Despite having several dozen options for Hawaiian bbq around town, this one is now on my list of favorites. Their fried foods are awesome and not greasy like some places, and their batter has great flavor. I love panko breaded anything, and their katsu and fried seafood is all panko. I loved that their katsu sauce, whether it's from a bottle or not, is sweeter than the other places, but still has that nice tangy finish with a bit of heat.
We tried their kalua pig and other things on the menu a few days after and it was all good, even when doing take out. Their mac salad is good, too, and different because they add tuna in theirs. They are known for their oxtail soup, which I will try eventually. Overall, it's a great stop for some good Hawaiian fast food. I actually prefer them over the other places around the northwest area.
Clean, friendly. and fast. They may not have the dessert menu that some other Hawaiian bbq places have, but do you really go there for the cake and ice cream? No. You go there for a simple, fast meal that's good, and they do it well.
Stop by and try out their food. Some people may argue that it's like the other Hawaiian bbq places because of the menu, but this place tastes better, cleaner, and less greasy. That, and their employees give great service.
Give this place a try if you live in the area. I know the location looks fishy because of the stores next to it and it's in this tiny strip mall building, but it is good. I even questioned myself because I tend to stay away from places like that...at least, I used to. I've learned that these places, despite location, can fork out some of the best food you will eat in Vegas, so give it a try.
Aloha!
