Lots of vendors to sate the yearn for island food-- manapua, lau lau, katsu, lomi lomi salmon, POG, haupia, kalua pork, huli huli chicken, and all the staples were available. Also had some interesting new items like mac + white chocolate cookie ice cream sandwiches with coconut ice cream and a teriyaki/katsu chicken stick. (Spell check is going to make me go through all of that, isn't it?)\n\nDancers are a mix of very good to average, but still very fun. Our daughter was enthralled. And the spirit was there to make it a warm event despite the weather. Make you miss home if you're from Hawai'i.\n\nLocation is also family friendly. Downtown Tempe is a great location for walking, eating, and spending time with each other.\n\nWe will be back!"^^ . . . "2"^^ . "1"^^ . "4"^^ .
