    I'm not sure what it is about Hawaiian food lately, but the last few times I came into Reno, my…read morefirst spot is to try a new one. I'm sad Aloha Shack closed, used to be a big fan. Maybe them closing is the reason, who knows. Anyways so far all 3 places have been better than the ones I go to in the bay area, at least on the peninsula. There is some good ones, but not exactly quick and easy as Hawaiian bbq should be. Walked in at lunch time. Decent amount of people there around that time. I liked that they had outdoor benches, cool looking inside with the food truck decor and window to look into the kitchen. Staff greeted me quickly and was friendly. I'm far from a picky eater and when trying new places, i like to let the staff steer the ship. They most likely have tried the whole menu, have their favorites, and if I don't like it, it's probably not worth going back to try anything else. Good looking plate. First thing I noticed eating it, this felt a lot cleaner than most Hawaiian BBQ places. It's not caked in sauce or wasn't swimming on a marinade for days. It was seasoned nicely, was tender, and not going to be a sodium bomb. I usually see most places give more white rice (2 scoops), but probably a good thing they didn't, because I would have ate it and been overly stuffed. Mac salad was balanced, light, nice palette cleanser. That said, Mac salad on its own isn't something that would be able to stand alone. Better than L&L, but that isn't saying much. Back to the service. They came to check on me, see how I was enjoying the food, and also recommended I try the hot sauce thets made in house. That was a nice change from the siracha that is everywhere. Not very spicy, but has a kick and paired well with the plate. I'll be back, but I'm sure I'll try something new. Most likely the tacos. I was tempted to get it this trip, but knew it would put me into a food coma.

    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.
