| - Hawaii in Las Vegas, Aloha!!
One of my yelp friend (Sandra S) raved about this place on her last visit to sin city. I love Hawaiian food so I bookmarked it knowing I was going in December. Fast forward a few months and I'm in Hawaiian Heaven.
Here's the run down:
Fried Mac N Cheese Balls - a good starter. It was fried perfectly and the mac n cheese was so creamy inside. It was cheap too. $2.45 for 4 big pieces. Delicious
We came here for the Poke, we got:
Shoyu Ahi poke - my favorite, Delicious.
Ahi Furukake poke - it was still a bit frozen, but still good.
Spicy Ahi Combo w/ Crabs, Avocados & Cucumber - my favorite 1A. Delicious
Tako poke w/ Limu (seaweed) - octopus was super tender.
The Ahi's were big chunks of raw tuna. So fresh, so good. You've got to try this place if you like poke.
We also got some hot dishes.
Loco Moco - we were all loco for this dish. The best loco moco I've ever had. The hamburger was just so flavorful and you get two big hand made patties. The gravy is just money. With two eggs & two scoops of rice. Oh man, this alone made the trip here so worth it. Delicious. Must order here.
Kalua Pig & Cabbage - another winner. Authentic Hawaiian dish. No fake smoke, tender, juicy goodness. Yum yum yum.
Kalbi - Delicious, fall off the bone tender and the marinade was spot on. Cooked to perfection. Delicious.
Hilo Bay Bento Special - this had everything. A piece of spam, pork cutlet, pork teriyaki, beef short rib, noodles, pickled radish and all on a bed of rice. This dish is a mouthful and everything was so so good. It's a special, so they might not have it everyday, but if they do, get it. You won't regret it.
The service was very friendly and helpful. We ordered a lot of food and kept adding to the order and the guy taking the order was very patient with us.
The place is small. A few tables (for 2 only) line the wall. Get your food to go.
I need a nap now after that luau we just had.
Hawaiian food done right.
Sandra, thank you for the recommendation!!
I'll definitely be back
