  • After hearing that a new local Hawaiian place opened up, I had to try it out. I wanted to like this place (from the mostly positive reviews and pics on yelp) but I gotta say I was disappointed. For starters, I was excited to see they had butterfish on the menu (I haven't seen any other local restaurant in Vegas offering it). Knowing that they just opened recently, I called beforehand and asked if it was available, I was told yes. Took a half hour drive down there (right after calling) only to be told they sold out early that morning. Uh okay, guess the cooks forgot to tell their cashier they where sold out. I was bummed but no problem, as there where other things I wanted to try. As luck would have it, everything I wanted to try they where out of, or had only couple pieces or a spoonful left of. I was kind of puzzled about that, being it was only 11:30-noon time. Wasn't sure if they where gonna make more since it was lunchtime (figured they would have fresh stuff made to be ready for the lunch rush). They didn't say but instead, I was told to come early in the morning next time (for lunch?) and was offered other things that I wasn't interested in trying. As I'm looking in the window at the food, I have to say it looked old, dry and over-cooked (set up okazuya style-what you'd find back home in Chinatown, the manapua man, and Mom & Pop local restaurants-that are always so ono and tasty). Unfortunately, I wasn't impressed with their set-up (food sitting under a warmer/heat lamp for a significant amount of time will dry food out quick). Ended up ordering the Korean chicken wing plate and it was pretty decent, sauce was a little salty, but the chicken was crisp on the outside and juicy in the inside. The mac salad had a weird taste to it. At first I thought they used some weird mayonnaise like miracle whip or something. I don't know what it was, but it just tasted off. I also took the last 2 pork hash they had left and it was old. Not bad tasting but old as in, when you know something has been cooked awhile ago and has been sitting out. Tried the last of the chow-fun and it was bad! Old, dry, bland, just not fresh. I'll chalk that up to being the last scoops out of the container is most likely why (what I got looked no where near like the pics others posted on yelp). Also got the ume/fudukaki musubi. It was okay, what you would expect musubi to taste like. Rice wasn't dried out or anything, but honestly, it's not that hard to make musubi and even harder to screw it up where it taste bad. Now for the worse part. Being local, that's a given to want to try out a new local establishment's poke'. From the pics. posted on yelp I was excited, it looked fresh and ono. Bummed that they where out of spicy tuna but still had regular poke'. I should've known better than to buy it, when it was sitting in a shallow tub on top of the counter in already melting ice. I went against my better judgment (as poke' should always be stored in a refrigerator type setting). When I opened the container, the poke' was grey in color already and slimy. No way was I going to even touch that. I ended up throwing most of my food away and leaving. Super bummed of my experience, when I was so hoping that I could've found a new favorite local place (especially one that has an okazuya set up). Unfortunately not the case. They definitely have a few kinks they need to work out and hopefully in time they will (since they just opened). Not sure if they just had an off day when I went in (it was on a Sat) because what I got served, looked nothing like the pics. posted on yelp. But after getting poke' that was straight up rancid, I'll pass on this place for good.
