| - Quaint, cozy spot, run by a very friendly family from Hawaii.
Let's just get to the food, since that's why you're reading this, right?
Da Surfrider- 4 star. The coconut shrimp is SOO DANG GOOD. It was way better that Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. and other places.
The breaded mahi mahi was OK for me, and the mac scallops were alright. The bulgogi was a bit on the salty side for me, but, that shrimp tho. The garlic aioli sauce was out of the world good, though I thought it was tar tar sauce the entire time. I stand corrected.
Saimin- 5 star. I think this is the best simian I've ever had...and that's comparing to many food spots in Honolulu, including Zippy's. I don't know if that's even a compliment.
Oxtail soup- 2 star. I was a bit disappointed with the dish. The broth was a bit too salty, maybe too much bouillon cubes in there, I'm not sure. The oxtail was a bit hard, and wasn't as soft and tender as I had hoped.
Chicken katsu- 5 star. The batter was good, and it was crispy golden brown without burning...I was impressed. This might be one of the best chicken katsu's I've ever had.
Spam musubi- 5 stars here.
I'm giving this place a solid 4 stars for now. I think ordering the kalua pork meal is most likely the gold here. Next time.
