I enjoy getting poke bowls from Loco Ono. They have a variety of sizes that you can get, and for me…read morethe smallest one with one protein works great. I also like that you can get rice and the wonton chips versus picking only one as your base. It is the counter style where you choose different things that you want on your Poke bowl. There are a few ingredients like avocado that has the upcharge, but in general, it has less than other places. I personally like the crab and seaweed salad on mine, which isn't everywhere. Ingredients have tasted fresh the times I have ordered bowls. Staff is helpful at asking specific things you want and circling back if you may have missed one of the categories. I usually take mine to go but there is a fair amount of seating to have the food there.

My wife and daughter contacted Joe at Kenji's and spoke to him in regard to providing his catering…read moreservice for our son's Celebration of Life reception. Joe was wonderful and agreed to take on the task of providing the food for 60-80 friends and family members. I had a good friend pick up 7 large trays of food which included BBQ chicken, rice, spam fried rice, Mac salad, green salad mix (with wontons and dressing on the side) and potstickers. The food was ready on time and was able to be set up right before the reception began. The food was amazing and several attendees had never heard of or had Kenji's. The spam fried rice was the big hit and almost all of it was eaten. Several attendees were impressed with the quality and flavor of the food. Thanks to Kenji's the reception was very good given the circumstances, it definitely turned out better than the port of subs we had discussed prior to talking to Joe.

Decided to take a longer lunch break and drive to this restaurant. I was a little nervous coming in…read moreas I thought it appeared very busy and had previously read it can be busy during a lunch rush. Thankfully to my surprise, it was the reflection of the barbershop next door and the restaurant had patrons but not swamped! I ordered two pork tacos, with a side of mac salad and a diet coke, which came out $11 after tip and tax. What a steal! The pork was tender and the size of the mac salad was generous. They include sesame seeds and julienne carrots to their mac salad, which I liked, but others may not. Several more people came in and ordered after me, so for a Thursday afternoon is was steady. I will definitely be back to try out more menu items.

Along with so many little shops there, can be easy to overlook (or forget about), but it's definitely a comfort food go-to for barbecue chicken, rice, and macaroni salad! My main pick-up here though is the Hawaiian soda (love the passion guava) and musubi (molded rice wrapped in seaweed with a protein). I don't go for the traditional spam one, but opt for chicken (they also have sausage and katsu). Very affordable and pretty much the only place I know locally to get this (unless you count the onigiri at Hinoki Poke, which is the triangle-shaped kind). Fast, friendly service and very clean interior. Haven't tried the loco moco here yet, but definitely on the list for future!

The rice was cooked perfectly, the mac salad was so good, chicken was cut up nicely and didn't have a ton of fatty pieces like most places, and the pork... omg the pork was SO flavorful!

Of all the gems in Tahoe, Kalani's is definitely a must stop destination…read more Located right in the heart of South Lake, Kalani's serves great service and even better eats. We started off with some cocktails like the jalapeño margarita and a mocktail, the Passion Palmer, which were both super refreshing. Next we followed up with the Kalani roll, the Molokai roll as well as the Kalani Sampler Platter. The sushi is so fresh and the crab cakes are perfect. For an entree I ordered the shrimp scampi and I must say, I can always appreciate when a restaurant throws in large prawns on this dish. Over all, staff is kind and personable and the sophisticated yet calm environment creates for a great dinner experience for couples, singles or even families.

I took photos of the bowl as it was served, including close-up photos, and I'm including them with this review. To their credit, the staff tried to make up for it by giving us a complimentary slice of guava cheesecake. The cheesecake was good, although the guava part was basically an orange-colored syrup. I appreciate that they acknowledged the problem and made an effort to address it, but finding a hair in food is still difficult to overlook. As for the rest of the meal, the $38 Sampler was easily the best thing we ordered. It came with 4 baby back ribs, 2 crab cakes, and 4 jumbo shrimp. Everything on that plate was good. The Caesar salad with grilled chicken was mediocre. Nothing particularly bad, but nothing special either. The fried calamari was also lacking in volume. The sampler was good, but unfortunately, finding a hair in the poke bowl overshadowed the meal.

The doors open into an pocket sized oasis right here in our own dry AF high-desert air; a dimly lit collection of tropical plants, puffer fish, ukelele music and aloha shirts. Its like a fever dream - the lovechild of Elvis Hawaiian movies and a trippy classic Disneyland ride, punctuated by neon and heavy cigarette smoke. The drink menu is extensive & eccentric. The establishment's proprietor, Dr. Shocker, perpetually clad in floral print and signature straw hat, is a fixture at the corner of the bar. He tells great stories. This is a true Reno hidden gem, and harkens to a simpler era of the classic Tiki bar, strong drinks, and living on island time. Go get drinks, get some samosas from next door...and get an Uber home. You'll need it.

I tried this place because i saw pictures of fish tacos on previous reviews. Much to my dismay,…read morethey were not on the menu and when i asked about them i was told that those were just a "seasonal" offering last year. Hmmm, isn't peak tourist season in tahoe the right time to have your seasonal offerings? Oh well i looked for something else. Honestly the menu is pretty scant for lunch. Only three sandwiches and one was a hamburger. I finally settled on the ahi poke tacos. I have had lots of poke in hawaii so i was skeptical being in tahoe but i must say they were good. Not great but i would order them again. The place has a hawaiian flair in the menu so i was hoping for maybe a katsu dish or more fresh fish options. I think fish tacos would be a slam dunk there but that's just me. The ambience is nice and i sat in the shade on the patio on one of the hottest days of the year and it was still quite pleasant. Parking is readily available (that's important in tahoe in the summer) and service was on point. It was a little pricey for lunch, being over $32 after tax and tip for tacos and a soda. They also charge 3% service charge for using a credit card which i did not see posted on any signs or menus. Disappointing to find hidden charges after the meal. Overall i would rate this 3.5 stars but half stars are not available.
