=== 1. VERDICT/VALUE One of the co-owners described it…read morebest: you come here for the experience which embodies the spirit of aloha found in Hawaii. You're not coming here for an authentic food experience (coming from Hawaii, I can certainly attest to that), but they do offer some of the dishes that speak to the spirit of Hawaiian fare and so "mahalo" to Kahuna for honouring the Hawaiian culture and ways in Victoria - thousands of miles away from its inspiration! === 2. FOOD The dishes may not necessarily cater to those from Hawaii (things have been adapted for the mainland - like all other ethnic foods brought to North America) but the creative dish names do provide some reminders of home. Of note, they have a few standard desserts including a lillikoi cheesecake and a haupia pie that they make in-house. Today, I tried the Loco Moco and it's perhaps a healthier (?) but very different interpretation of a typical loco moco one gets in Hawaii. Perhaps it's a local adaptation of the dish (for Hawaiians: note that there is a lot more vegetables on this, much less gravy and portion size, and different macaroni used and no brown/fried rice available) - but overall the dish is tasty. === 3. SERVICE Soft-spoken, well-mannered, it's like the Canadian version of Hawaiian service: caring but without any of the fun sarcasm and localisms one finds in a local Hawaiian joint. I noticed they were attentive to dine-in patrons and everyone wears a brighter-coloured shirt that speaks to the aloha shirts found in Hawaii. === 4. ENVIRONMENT Good, bright, modern, and clean, the Hawaiian motifs are visible throughout be it in colour palette, light fixtures, decorations, and even the t-shirts on sale. While it's not ginormous, you could bring a sizeable party of perhaps up to 12 here. Groups of 4 or less would be best served on a daily basis. Those with wheelchairs and baby strollers would find get in and out easily. Parking appears to just be up to your luck with a street spot or in one of the private paid lots nearby.

We ordered through DoorDash after a very long day play tourist. Food was still hot, flavorful and the fries crisp. The Italian Job is a chicken sandwich with bacon, balsamic vinegar, basil aioli, bruschetta and lettuce. My burger, the Angry Bull, is a combo of bison, chorizo and pork with goat cheese, roasted jalepeno aioli, crispy tortilla strips, peri peri sauce, lettuce and tomato. They have a variety of fries to choose from and lots of dipping sauces. We both had the caramel eggnog cheesecake. Would pass on this in the future. It was ok but not the best taste. Most likely due to having to be delivered and not served fresh.

For more info on the city of Victoria & fun things to do while on Vancouver Island, see my pix & reviews from the summer of 2022. Located on Fort St, there's several shops, restaurants & bakeries on this street. BC knows how to do Smash Burgers right! Taste, presentation, flavour ALL on point! One of the bestest burgers ever indeed. While we don't have In-N-Out Burger up here in Canada - this is probably the next best thing. The thin cut fries are excellent. Get an order of regular fries. OMG the Chocolate Shake here is absolutely sensational! It looks small & unassuming, but don't be fooled - it's the real deal when it comes to quality shakes! Be sure to tell the cashier you want your shake after you finish your burger. I do not recommend you get it to go - have it right away once you've finished your meal. Also if you are one to carry around your own metal or plastic straw, bring it here! This shake should not be associated with paper straws = sadness! I usually get a single burger, but if you really love that beef & prefer a double patty, then go for it. The beef is right here at BC!

The entire ambience was inclusive, positive, and fun and the food was delicious. The service was friendly without feeling too formal. It felt almost like a "Cheers" type environment. We got the traditional poutine as well as a burger and a pulled pork sandwich. The poutine was a generous portion and the sandwiches were fresh and hot, not to mention delicious. They have a ton of fun beers on tap which we also enjoyed. This was the perfect spot to warm up on a rainy day!

I scanned the QR code on the table and chose to order the small original poutine and a beer. The beer came out instantly and the poutine about five minutes after. The poutine was delicious, it tasted like what I was expecting--fries, gravy and cheese. I thought the gravy would have a heavier taste but I was nice and light. The waitress was super helpful to answer any questions I had about the dish and also gave me recommendations on what to do in Victoria.

We were staying real close to La Belle in Victoria so we got it to-go the night we got in. This La Belle isn't the best for sitting in, very few chairs and the ambience isn't great. So we took ours to go. Mine one qualm is the to-go vehicle - the fries got really soggy before we got to the house because of the steam and how tightly they packed it. Now don't get me wrong, the gravy and the curds, on point as per usual! Just wish the fries still had some crispiness to them still. If they had abit more of place to sit, we for sure would have just eaten in to maintain the integrity of the pout. Was I still satisfied? Yes. Maybe they can switch to a better to go vehicle. At the Davie location they served my poutine in a cardboard box that could breathe a bit better. Recommend switching to that if possible!

The regular fries was amazing too! We left with smiles on our faces and a promise to return.
