"Modeled on the Hawai‘i plate lunch, the menu combines two scoops of steamed white rice and a scoop of macaroni salad with a choice of protein—served over cabbage—and includes items like slow-cooked pulled kālua pork tossed in teriyaki and katsu plates accompanied by a savory, barbecue-like puree. Regulars treat visits as a ritual, ordering grilled chicken or Hawaiian BBQ chicken with extra rice and mac salad, and many say the food evokes a vacation-like, transportive taste of Hawai‘i." - Oriana Koren
