| - I don't know about this place.... I mean, we went just specifically to taste the food. So we ordered the J's bento, Pacific bento and side pork hash as well as a long john. I can always tell when my husband doesn't like his food, he'll get quiet and he won't eat it all. He's the type to never waste food, but he didn't like the battered fish and kalbi and he tried the pork hash and said it was hard. He ate some katsu and left the rest. As for my bento... I hate when people make LOTS of food that doesn't taste that good. I don't care how much food you give me, if it doesn't taste good, I'm not coming back and I'll let my friends know it's not good. I was waiting at least for a little crunch to the mochiko chicken and it was just fried and plain and just sweet, unlike the kind I've had all my life in Hawaii. I was wondering about their batter or lack of. The pork hash that we heard was so famous, was a disappointment... like big for nothing. This is why I say big food isn't always the greatest food. Like my hubby said, it was hard and was a big blob of pork and some simple flavoring, I almost felt like they skimped out on ingredients and opted instead to make it bigger than the normal pork hash, but really the size just diverts from the lack of visual appeal and taste. The chow fun was meh at best, although I did like that it actually had vegetables in there. I tried the teriyaki meat and it was hard, I didn't care for the flavor. So the only thing I ate was some noodles and a couple pieces of mochiko chicken and a bite of hot dog and rice, really you can't screw that one up. Finally the long john... again I think the theme here is "go big or go home" it's a good size, but my husband didn't like it, he thought it was doughy. We didn't want to be rude because the owner's wife was right there talking to other people, so we wrapped up our food and took it home only to be thrown away the next day. Goes to show, looks and size isn't everything especially for food. I'd much rather have less food but delicious. Taste is the reason I would go back for more, but I don't think we'll attempt this place again.
