Description: I have tried just about everything on the menu here and have never had a bad meal.
If you are looking for romantic, soft ambience, this is NOT it. This is a casual locals’ place to eat.
It is not expensive, as rates for lunch or dinner run between $5 and $9. With your entrée you get two scoops of rice, macaroni, OR green salad (just about every meal in the islands comes with rice and macaroni, and salad). They have WONDERFUL mahimahi and chicken katsu, which is lightly breaded chicken that comes with a spicy, tangy berbeque-type dipping sauce. The teriyaki chicken has FOUR pieces of chicken cooked just RIGHT in a teriyaki-flavored sauce. Other menu items include loco moco, noodle soup, Portuguese bean soup (at the Kahului location only), Kalua pork, and lau lau. Lau lau is something you MUST try. It is steamed, shredded pork wrapped and cooked in taro greens with just a tad of fish for extra flavor. TO DIE FOR, and one of my favorites.
There are about five booths and five tables at the KIHEI location, and Kahului location is much bigger. A lot of people do takeout, as this is a very busy place.
