I'm a big fan of Hawaiian plate lunches, which usually cosist of a scoop or two of rice, a scoop of macaroni salad, and then a choice of 1-4 items to go with your scoops. A typical BBQ plate lunch will consist of a thin slice of BBQ short ribs, a thin terriyaki steak, and some BBQ chicken. The BBQ plate lunch I dined on at No. 1 was the best I've had on any island so far. My wife agrees.

A few nights later we were having trouble deciding where to eat for dinner. We found ourselves near the No. 1 again and thought, "Why not, it was great the first time." We ordered an order of the boneless spare ribs, 1/2 roast duck and an order of rice. The duck was some of the finest we've had and we eat a lot of duck everywhere we go. The boneless spareribs were smoked and then served with a Chinese sweet sauce over them, they were just great. The bill came to slightly over $20 and the amount of food served could have easily fed a family of four.

We took the leftovers (which we usually never do on vacation, but our hotel had a fridge in it), bought some Hawaiian rolls at the bakery the next day and made sandwiches that were very good.

No. 1 is not glamorous, but if you want excellent yet cheap food, this is the spot. They do offer a buffet which many customers purchased, but we did not try it. One can also order a la carte off of a menu.
