    We did a group order from here at work and I saw poke nachos featured on their front page. When I…read morewent to order through their website, I couldn't find them listed anywhere. My coworker ended up calling in and was able to order it, so that worked out. The wonton chips were crunchy and held up well. The poke tasted fresh and not fishy or old, which I always appreciate. Overall it hit the spot. I ended up finding the restaurant on Uber Eats and saw they actually have the poke nachos listed there. I ordered it that way, but noticed there weren't any options to add extra toppings. From the first time we ordered, I remember the seaweed and crab were on the lighter side, so I wish they had an option to add more online. I called to see if I could add extra, but ended up deciding not to, due to pricing differences. When I my order was delivered, they included it for me anyway, which I appreciated. That was really nice of them. The poke nachos were good. I just wish they would add a little more seaweed and crab or at least give the option to add more of it online. Regardless, I will be back when I'm craving poke nachos again.

    Raised in Hawaii, was hoping this place would be a great stop to frequent. L&L has been going…read moredownhill for a while. Unfortunately, was disappointed with everything. Number 1 complaint is that they don't use Aloha Soy Sauce, which completely changes the flavor profile of everything. Kalua Pig was bland, under salted, a little dry but was okay. Teri Chicken, were thighs and seasoned with some other kind of soy sauce, you can tell by how light brown they are. They were okay, but a little dry. Mac Salad was pretty decent, best thing on the plate. Rice had too much water so it had poor texture. Worst thing was the spam musubi. Just the shape and the flavor and it was slathered in sauce, you don't need to do this for spam musubi, just marinate for a while and cook it. Overall was really mid. Nothing was really bad, but nothing was really good, except the Mac salad. Wouldn't go here again.

    So delicious!! I got the Jr Boy breakfast and the coconut French toast is great, eggs were fluffy,…read morePortuguese sausage had a nice caramelization. I didn't end up eating the scoop of rice, for me it felt like an afterthought on the plate. The nut latte was delicious as well. Order inside at the counter then take your food to go (saw lots of to go orders places) or snag a seat. They have outdoor bar seating and a few smaller tables, wouldn't rec coming with a big group. Staff was all incredibly friendly. Food came out hot and clearly freshly made.

With the Aloha Spirit on my mind lately, Leilani's Cafe had caught my attention. I have no idea which spirit may have been looking out, but we pulled right up to an open street parking spot nearly in front of the place. The blessings didn't end there. There was no line to order when I walked in & we found an open table immediately. But that changed shortly after my order was in. It got super busy with a line out the door to order. I had ordered the Hilo Loco Moco & Spam Musubi Leilani's Style. My fiancée got the French Toast. The food didn't take too long, as I was just ahead of the kitchen rush. It was all quite yummy & decent portion sizes. Trying some of my fiancée's French Toast, that ended up being the most interesting dish to me. I've never had that made with sweet Hawaiian bread before. & now I'm convinced that's the best way to make French Toast. So, on a day when Hawaii happened to be on my mind, Leilani's Cafe was a nice taste of the islands. Undoubtedly cheaper & more convenient than the 2,610 miles flight out to Honolulu. Though that is certainly a trip worth taking...

    Dalu Hawaiian BBQ was a great experience! We got 2 regular plates of teriyaki chicken (with extra…read morerice) and Korean chicken. Both plates came out quickly and fresh. Korean chicken was recommended on social media and well explained as a great choice by an employee. The teriyaki chicken was amazing from the first bite. It was cooked perfect and not too many fatty pieces which I appreciated. I also appreciated they had extra teriyaki sauce on the side that is stored warmed on the side. The spam masubi was a 10/10. Good portion of rice. I feel like we needed to add extra teriyaki sauce on it but totally our preference. The service was excellent, providing the best recommendations and wiping down tables for us. Everyone was very nice and helpful. My boyfriend and I already had our next future orders ready for our next visit! Definitely want to try the malasadas next.

    I recently tried Dalu Hawaiian Barbecue and it did not disappoint! We ordered the musubi trio,…read morechicken and beef plates, and the three-meat combo--everything was prepared fresh and full of flavor. The musubi katsu was especially delicious, and the spam and sausage musubis were just as good. Their macaroni salad is on point--definitely a standout side. We also tried the stuffed Nutella donuts, and wow... such a perfect sweet treat to finish the meal! Bonus: they even carry lumpia, which was a great surprise. The ambiance really gives you that Hawaiian-style restaurant feel--I loved the decor, and there was plenty of seating available. Service was fairly quick as well, which is a big bonus even for a takeout option. Overall, everything we had was absolutely delicious. This place is a great find and a nice treat--I would definitely recommend checking them out!
