| - Being a new-bee from Hawaii, this place came highly recommended by a Hawaiian islander. It was just down the road so we thought we'd give it a try. We've already been there many times and taken out a couple of times before I've been yelping so needless to say, we like going there.
We were welcomed with a bunch of "hawaiian" stuffs...signs that said "Aloha" and pictures of hula dancers (for all you Hawaiian Locals, it was Kim Taylor Reece pitures). The staff was friendly and told us that the owner used to have a restaurant called "Wo Fat" in Hawaii but has moved here many years ago. Unfortunately, I've never gone to the one in Hawaii.
Anyways, we ordered the house noodles with cake noodles (yum!), shinchoy (chinese sour cabbage) with beef, and cold ginger chicken. We were very happy with the food. We've also tried the orange chicken, lemon chicken, soft gau gee mein (house noodles with steamed gau gee), crispy gau gee, and kau yuk (these were on separate occasions , of course) and it was yummy!
It definitely has a "hawaiian spin" as Lindsey S. describes and we were not disappointed at all. Funny thing I've noticed is that every time we go there, there is always someone that is there who is from Hawaii. I guess the "pidgin" and the hawaiian bracelets are dead give-aways!
The only reason I gave them 4 stars is that the restroom is "eh" okay. If you don't have to go...don't. If you have to...then don't expect anything grand! Lots of parking and if you're craving something sweet after...there is a Baskin Robbins in the same complex!
