It was ok. The waitress busted her butt to do everything: taking orders, running orders, bussing tables, prepping and sending out pickup/takeout orders, making drinks, welcoming and seat guests. She didn't stop moving.
The food was well prepared and the portions were generous, but the flavors just didn't do it for me. The meat was a good texture, but all three mix plates were doused in the same (or very similar) sweet sauce. It wasn't how I remembered the flavors at the Portland location. Even the mac salad was lackluster, and I love mac salad.
The lomi salmon is essentially pico de gallo with microscopic cubes of raw salmon sprinkled in. We played a game called find the salmon. We found one piece, roughly a quarter of a six-sided dice.
The pie was good. They were out of ice cream. This location doesn't serve hard liquor. Avoid the non-alcoholic mixed drinks, especially the coconut milk and pineapple drink. It's nothing like a pina colada, despite being pitched as a virgin variant.
Seeked this restaurant out specifically for their gluten-free options, and this DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! I had the kalua pig, and substituted steamed broccoli (small extra cost) since the mac salad was not GF. The black tea and passionfruit is delish!!
Small, happy place. The staff is great and you can watch them cooking in the kitchen as they prepare your meal. Our favorite plates are Kalua Pig and Macadamia Nut Chicken but all the food is fantastic with generous portions. If you save room there are desserts and shave ice available!
