| - a few years ago, a couple hawaiian friends of mine introduced me to the glory known as a boxed lunch. this would be some meat on some steamed cabbage, two scoops of rice and a scoop of macaroni salad. i have since eaten at probably all of the local hawaiian joints, even ones that are now closed. i always get the chicken katsu + terriyaki/bbq combo plates.
this place gets a big "meh." my major complaint is that they totally skimp you on the rice. c'mon, that has to be the cheapest ingredient a restaurant can buy! they only give you one solitary scoop and you totally run out before you finish all the meat. although since their mac salad is not very good, i order a extra scoop of rice instead of the mac (plus, the scoops are tiny little scoops too)
the katsu is good, although the sauce is . . . actually, the sauce used to be all funky and sweet, but today it seemed a bit better.
the bbq chicken is a bit fatty but not too greasy. the teri sauce is kinda weird.
also, the cabbage is not even steamed, so its not very good to even eat a few bites of (im not a cabbage fan, but sometimes a bite or two goes with some katsu nicely)
cant comment on the boba tea, since tea is my mortal enemy of beverages . . . but if i did drink tea, i would drink boba tea!
