| - Their store sign says "Hawaiian BBQ" and not Aloha A GoGo, but it's next door to the China A GoGo, so we figured we found the right place.
Hubby had the Hawaiian BBQ Mix Plate and I had the Chicken Combo. We shared the Unagi Roll sushi.
First the good news: My plate consisted of the chicken katsu and BBQ chicken, which came with a side of katsu sauce, 2 scoops of rice and a side of macaroni salad. Both chicken types were good and I had no complaints, but the rice was on the dry, "al dente" side and the macaroni salad left a bit to be desired. I've tasted better macaroni salad before and even L & L serves up better macaroni salad.
The unagi sushi was great! Very smooth and delicious and the avocado inside the sushi was perfect and flavorful! The sushi was filled with crab meat, avocado, and cucumber with eel on top of it, drizzled with eel sauce. Very nice!
Now the bad news: Hubby was not so fortunate with his choice, which was the Hawaiian BBQ mix plate consisting of BBQ short ribs, BBQ beef, and BBQ chicken. The beef and short ribs were tough and chewy, in spite of the BBQ beef being very thinly sliced. Short ribs are normally tender, but not this one and he said its flavor was mild to almost nothing. The meat was served with a side of sauce, though, so that helped somewhat. Same story as mine for the rice and macaroni salad on his plate.
We thought the best part of the meal was the eel sushi and we'll definitely go back again to try other types of sushi and also their malasadas. I have to say that their sushi is reasonably priced. California Roll is $3.95 and the unagi sushi we ordered was $5.95. Very affordable.
They have a wide assortment of food choices on their menu such as burgers, saimin, musubi, and haupia (coconut pudding dessert) and they offer catering service and delivery service within 3 miles. We'll be back!
