Food Only on Friday's?!

by jupiterdeicide at Citysearch

After making an extra special trip to this much talked-up restaurant, my friend and I were told that many items (notabley lau lau's) were only served on Friday's, as they were shipped up from Hawaii and no cook on site could prepare the dishes. I think the website, citysearch, or someone should have mentioned this to us, but instead our orders were turned down and we left with empty bellies. I'm sure this restaurant may be a good one, I just advise you go on a Friday to get the food your after. And since their food is shipped from the great Island, I'm sure it's authentic, but now I wonder about it's freshness. . . so good luck to you.

Ono grinds! Cheap eats-NOT!

This is great traditional "plate lunch" hawaiian style food. But traditional Hawaiian prices, it is not. The mac salad is to die for as is the rest of the food---takes me back to Hawaiia. But they are not the only game in town serving plate lunch specials. Prices are too expensive compared to the competition. And the service and speed at which your food arrives needs much help. Don't get me wrong, I love their food, just not worth going out of your way for it. Mahalo...

• Pros: Food, Authenticity
• Cons: Prices, service

It's the only place in town I know of where you can get a real Hawaiian plate lunch. Sooo yummy. Makes me miss Hawaii.

• Pros: big portions, inexpensive, authentic
