| - With my fiancé from the islands, I've pretty much adopted Hawaiian food into my diet and trying every single Hawaiian restaurant in town has become a requirement for us. Being that we both live in the west side of town, we usually don't stray too far from our frequent traveled routes, UNLESS it's to fulfill a foodie adventure. On this particular day, we decided we'd finally pay a visit to Island Flavor.
When we arrived, I was immediately drawn to a plate of pre-made, saran wrapped musubis that sat on the register counter for 2 bucks a pop. I thought to myself, how brilliant is that?! We were seated and my eyes were drawn to one flaw-- Several teriyaki and sriracha sauce splatters on the wall. I know, I know... Trust me, I HATE being a stickler for something like that, but it made me feel like a saw remnants of a booger flinger on the wall. ANYWAY, back to the good stuff.
My fiancé and I ordered two mixed plates. One beef teriyaki steak and korean chicken and one chop steak & onions and korean chicken. When the plates arrived, we were pleasantly surprised by the big portions. Two scoops of rice, one scoop of macaroni salad, and MEAT GALORE! The food definitely tasted delicious. However, as a fan of thinly sliced beef, I had expected my teriyaki steak to be sliced thin as described on the menu, but it was not. It was actually the opposite of what I had expected--The chop steak was sliced thin and the teriyaki beef was more "chop[py]". Nonetheless, I ate it.
I hope to visit them again soon to try a few more items off their menu. I think maybe next time even consider sharing a plate to leave room for some of their desserts that I watched longingly pass my table.
