I took my parents here in January 2012, when they visted from Hawaii. I missed my Hawaiian food and was told to try this place. The staff was great especially P.K.. I think we crossed paths back in Honolulu at UH?!?!?!
Anyways, I had to have sushi and poke. I was so lucky to have P.K. He brought out a malasada to try. ONO!
I asked to meet the manager. I think they were scared that something may have happened. I spoked to Daniel Toves for awhile. He invited me back in for Happy Hour and to bring my LEO friends in next time.
I too noticed the chemical smell, but it did not overwhelm the Kalbi or Won Ton Min that I shared.
Next time, ship home some Malasadas. Daniel ships in the dough from Hawaii.
