When I asked the guy which one he recommended the Colby or the Terri steak, the guy didn't hesitate and told me that KB. I can see why. It was very soft and well cooked, well marinated. Very melting in your mouth kind of delicious. Sweet soy Flavors. Spicy poke fried- $20, amazing spice and cream, with fully cooked ahi. Comes with two scoop of rice and side of spicy Mac mayo salad. All the wonders of spicy hippo, but fully cooked, which was very nice for me. As with any plate lunch place, I wish they had more vegetables in their plate to reflect the recommended vegetable intake, which is half of the plate, but that's for any takeout. Wouldn't mind seeing some green though. Overall, very impressed with the quality of food and wish they would come in town more often.

Unfortunately, the Kalbi wasn't good at all, and my salmon was burnt, overly salty, and covered in way too much sauce. I felt like the flavors were really overpowering. There was also an aftertaste that reminded me of airplane food or old cooking oil, which was not very pleasant. I really wanted to love it because of all the hype, but unfortunately, it just wasn't for us.

My husband went over to Mike's to see about just getting a small piece of chicken because we saw the sauce at the Mac Nut plant and wanted to try it. The guy at the counter said yeah you can get just a piece of chicken. When we opened the container it was literally half a chicken! Not only was the chicken cooked perfectly, but Mike's sauces are soooo good! I am so glad we had that to fall back on after being so disappointed next door. I will also say they have a really cute eating area that looks kinda tiki. Great vibes.

The No Refunds Hot & Spicy Shrimp was really good and had plenty of flavor. Unfortunately, I was a little disappointed with the Shrimp Scampi, as it didn't have much flavor, especially when it came to the garlic. The rice on both plates was also very mushy, which I didn't enjoy. Overall, I wasn't as impressed with the food as I expected to be. In my opinion, this place is a little overhyped. The shrimp itself was good, but based on the overall meal, I don't feel it lived up to the hype.

So our job was to take all the measurements of sliding screen doors total of six of them plus two very large windows Screens. We both got done in two hours. It was still too early to go home so we called it Pau Hana Time!!! we both needed drinks, even though it was still lunchtime, but why not we both control our own business. There is this quaint little bar nearby so we went straight there! We was greeted by two ladies, and one of them is the bartender name Kanani. She's an excellent bartender who knows how to be super friendly like if we were all best friends. She is definitely one of the main reasons why we go there often. I enjoy this little bar because of the view of the golf course. The bar itself is an open restaurant so you can feel the cool breezes of the tradewinds. I've been coming to this bar ever since the first time I started golfing, ever since the dinosaurs ruined the Earth, lmao! Just kidding! We had several beers and $15 French Fries?! You do get a decent amount even with the both of us eating it. It was very filling. It's amazing every time we go there there's always several happy people who are very friendly to talk to, and that's one of the reasons why the bar is a wonderful place for both locals and tourists to enjoy. Although I haven't eaten at the restaurant recently, I do remember when I did try the restaurant the food was very well prepared and seasoned just right. I think maybe next we come here we gotta try out their food menu!

They also NEVER had coconut regardless of when I went. I went about 10 times across multiple years and different seasons and they have always been out. When they are out, you might have to wait 15minutes for them to grill more corn. You can go in the shop of the Dole Plantation or grab a dole whip while waiting and come back. There are plenty of tables to sit and eat the corn. There are tables on the grass area around where you buy the corn (which is in the parking lot) or you can go through the Dole Plantation shop and walk through to find more tables available. You don't have to pay an entrance fee to get to this area. The servers are never friendly but I still go for the grilled corn. At least the flavor of the corn never changes.
