| - I don't think I've ever had Hawaiian food before so I can't really compare it to anything... but I did enjoy what I had today!
I wasn't sure what kind of meat to pick, so I did half kahlua pig & half steak. I liked them both, but I'm also glad that I did half and half because I feel like too much of either and I would've felt sick. For the meats you have a choice of their huli huli chicken, kalua pig, pulehu steak, grilled fish or grilled veggie.. then your choice of rice/beans/cabbage/lettuce/veggies. I picked the seaweed rice which I absolutely loved. I can't decide if I like Chipotle's cilantro rice or Braddah's seaweed rice better! For salsa, you have the choice of a mild charred pineapple verde, medium mango & roasted corn, or spicy tomato with grilled maui onion. I had the mild pineapple verde and my friend had the medium mango & charred corn... both of us decided that the salsas were on the sweet side (not really a fan). I did order the roasted sesame gingerette dressing on the side (they also have a papaya buttermilk ranch), and normally I love anything sesame, but I wasn't crazy for this dressing.
I added cheese and guacamole on top... love cheese so that was obligatory. The guac... I prefer the guac from chipotle! It wasn't bad here, I just wouldn't order it again as there just wasn't much happening in terms of flavor.
They have canned Hawaiian Sun drinks here.. I had the green tea with ginseng. This stuff was so good! It tasted more like a juice, but it was still really good. Now I just need to find out where I can buy these little gems!
Overall, I would probably come back.. but not on the regular like some of my yelp friends. It is good, not GREAT or anything aaaahmazzzing... but not bad/terrible either.
