Solid. --Anything "hamburger" - old school perfect. Thick, hand formed patties, just the right amount of fillers to keep it soft and moist. Solid in a plate or as a loco moco. Even butter in a soft, cheap, generic bun with a little ketchup as its only condiment. Get it with a slice of Kraft American cheese if you're feeling fancy. Basic and that's what makes it good. -- Roast pork (special) - Chunks of well braised pork butt with untrimmed fat swimming in a scratch made onion / mushroom gravy. Yup! Short and simple menu. Most items $14. Burgers $6. Cash / Venmo only. Located at the entrance to the Halawa animal quarantine. Super friendly owners. Amanda and Felix, you got this one right.

As they are already expensive. When I found them last night I thought they had just added another location & maybe were covering overhead costs. Yet, they closed the Pearl Ridge location. Sadly. Not sure if it's temporary or what. I didn't know at the time so I didn't ask. They have a very nice brand new truck and order ready buzzers, happy for them yet wished they didn't increase the prices. The tacos are still delicious af! lol!

I was at the village market that happens every Saturday night at Pearlridge. After walking around,…read morewe decided that one of the vendors we will try from would be Pelmeshki, which serves up pierogis, which is a type of dumplings. We order an order of half beef and half cheese & potatos. The vendor recommended us get panfried (between the two options of boiled or panfried). We got to choose two sauce which we went with garlic and shoyu chili. We had to wait SO long, I think it was around 15-20+ minutes. Overall, the pierogis were just okay, my friend didn't like the potato & cheese one and the beef one was just mediocre for us. The wrapper were thick and the sauces weren't very flavorful which just made it all taste bland. The shoyu chili was NOT spicy at ALL, like not even a hint. I personally don't think I would want/try this again.

Dumpling lover…read more.. Honestly I am and when I first discovered Pelmeshki which usually has been in the back end of the Village Night Market at Pearlridge Center I had already bought something to eat and with the amount they sell in one order there's no way that I can do it all by myself lol! These are Russian dumplings which looks like tortelloni or even some won tons that are round but are super cute and is filled with beef and pork you can have it pan fried or steamed and though I usually like pan fried I chose for steamed as it felt it would be more light and soft textured. A paired with a choice of sauce it was spicy shoyu for me. Placed my order but be prepared to wait as it's made to order though it did give me time to look around and see if anything else would capture my attention but before my eyes speak for my belly I headed back and was excited to see it was ready. Let me tell you these pillowy beauties was delicious though the dough is a bit on the chewy side as it was thicker similar to like a mandoo but it was delicious and with 20 for an order it's totally shareable and the sauce was on the thicker side and wasn't really spicy but is nice and flavorful to give a bit of kick to the Pelmeshki. The vibe at the night market is very festive and vibrant with lots of seating under the tent and a few cocktail tables for a quick bite making this a great place have some food, fun and freeing enjoyment. Thank you!

We attended her pop up at Umi St. in town and there was a line prior to 11:45AM when she opened -…read moreAunty is very kind and took everyone's order before going to the kitchen to prepare everything. Be prepared to wait around 45-60 minutes as it is just her and 1 kitchen crew. The wait was well worth it for the most delicious Nigerian food I've had on the island. Jollof Rice came with Oxtail & Jerk Chicken so we could try both and they were seasoned immaculately. The Jollof rice has some heat that builds as you eat it and the oxtail was a hefty piece. The jerk chicken had a nice spice & sear to it, it provided a nice balance to the fatty oxtail. There is also pieces of plantain that come with this plate. Fufu is neutral flavored pounded yam (comparable texture to a stickier mashed potato) - It pairs well with the smokey, earthy & spicy flavors of the Egusi Soup. The soup is very hearty and more akin to a stew with how much protein & veggies are in the bowl. My total came out to $51.00 for these three items.

I really wanted to support Enchanted by Aloha at the Aloha Festival, but unfortunately the…read moreexperience was disappointing. It seemed like there was a lot of miscommunication between the staff of 4 throughout the event. From where I was standing, everyone was trying their best, but it didn't seem like there was a clear system in place. The person in charge appeared to be focused on directing staff, but the overall flow never really improved. The ordering process also became confusing. It didn't seem like there was a reliable way to track what each customer had ordered, which led to people receiving food they didn't purchase. About an hour into the event, several menu items had already sold out. My group ordered oxtail with fufu and Egusi with fufu, but because they had run out of several food, we were served fish, one piece of jerk chicken, egusi, and gari instead. Gari is very different from fufu, so it wasn't an equivalent substitute for us. We also had to wait over an Hour to get the actual food. To their credit, the staff apologized for the issues and offered a $5 refund, which I appreciate. I know events like this can be challenging, and I don't think anyone intended for things to go this way. Better planning, a more organized ordering system, and keeping track of customer orders would have made a huge difference. I genuinely hope they take the feedback to heart because the food itself has a lot of potential. I'd be willing to give them another chance if these organizational issues are addressed.
