What a great find! So glad it's off the beaten path from the strip. It looks dark from the outside and judging from the Vegas sun, that's understandable. Once in, it is warm and inviting on this cold Vegas evening.
When we ordered, I was thinking along the lines of some of the Hawaiian places in San Diego. The portions here are big! The partner started with the Portugese bean soup...flavorful and hearty! He thought the salad was coming on his teriyaki beef plate, but a large side salad appeared as well. My mom and I ordered the roast pork....a mound of pork covered in gravy with two scoops of rice and a scoop of mac salad. I was in Hawaiian food heaven! I also ordered the special fried noodles, and a large plate came out with char siu pork....very good! My dad had the oxtail soup and really enjoyed it!
No wonder this place gets crowded because lots of locals were coming in. I saw two desserts go out, and we ordered the banana bread pudding to go. This came with a delicious vanilla sauce! It's good to know there's another alternative to come to instead of eating at the California Hotel...LOL!
The staff was really friendly and our server told us that they've been open for seven years now. I can't believe we didn't find this place sooner! This place is legit! Can't wait to come back! If you're a haole and do not understand Hawaiian culture or food, please go eat at Jack-in-Box...I think there's one down the street...
