My follow-up review for this restaurant. Read my previous review for this restaurant here

So I got hungry after writing my review for Hukilau so I ended up going there for lunch! :D I just wanted to note that the lunchtime prices are slightly cheaper than dinner (e.g., the fried rice lunch plate is only $6, and an extra side of the mac salad is only $1), and as far as the fried rice goes, I think the serving was just as large. So far it’s lasted me 3 meals!

Really, I give this place a 3.5 for the food, but 4 for the overall experience. The food is good, but not great. But this has become a favorite place to go for a night out with friends because:

1) The menu has something for everybody. if you’re not into Hawaiian food, they have some pretty tasty sounding burgers (i’ve never had one… but they sound good!).

2) Entrees run about $7-10 each, so no one has to break the bank over this meal.

3) The restaurant can pretty easily seat large groups. I’ve come here twice for birthday parties with more than 10 people, and it wasn’t a problem.

4) The atmosphere is chill and cheerful and… Hawaiian! And we all love Hawaii. Sometimes on weekend nights they’ll have live bands playing Hawaiian music. And if it’s someone’s birthday, they may invite them up to hula. :)

There are a few things I really like here, but they’re mostly side orders or appetizers. My only complaint is that none of the real Hawaiian dishes really blow me away. But it’s still good.
