| - My husband and I make Taste of Paradise a regular stop. We both love the mix of Hawaiian and "soul" food they offer there. It's a family run place in which the husband is usually acting as cook, and the wife usually helping customers, but they also sometimes have other family members (and friends?) working there as well. Their small staff means the food always takes a while, so we usually call it in before we head over. It's a very laid back and friendly atmosphere, and we're always greeted with a cheerful "Hello, Auntie! Hello, Uncle!" upon walking in. They knew our names after only two visits.
The Short Ribs are my favorite thing there; really salty but very flavorful as well. My husband's favorite is the Chicken Katsu; the breading and sauce is delicious. I also really enjoy the extra-crispy catfish and french toast for breakfast. The mini burgers are great too. I don't recommend the pasta salad which comes with every meal, though; it's very bland and I usually have them leave it off. The portions are hefty without being overkill; perfect for my husband, and I'm always stuffed when we leave. Finally, they give a military discount, 15% to active duty and 10% for dependents.
I recommend this place for a casual, friendly, and flavorful meal, especially if you call and order ahead.
