They offer five different plate options, and each comes with two sides and either two scoops of rice or white bread. I chose the brisket with corn and baked beans.

Bozie's is legit according to my boyfriend who has tried BBQ in Nashville…read more The customer service here is unlike any other place. We were offered samples of the spare ribs. The samples themselves were more than generous. The homemade BBQ is divine. The meat is tender and smokey, reminiscent of the keawe wood. My boyfriend and I wanted to try the brisket, but the man was sold out--rightfully so. We settle on the rib tips. Make sure to bring cash to avoid the $2 surcharge. Also be sure to tip! Bozie deserves all the love and support. The kindest human, best bbq and fair prices. Will definitely be back! This business is located by the McDonald's on the gas station on King St, McCully area. Check it out!

The batter is light and crisp and well flavored, and the chicken itself is juicy and decadent. My kid got the locomoco and said the gravy is nothing special but hit the spot. And he also loved the Mac salad. No frills decor and fine service, not a ton of seats. Note: Water costs $1.50 if you use the soda cups. Or there's bottled water or canned juice / tea / soda.

Sorry cannot add any new pictures and updated menu & prices…read more I ordered the chicken katsu, because L & L Liliha chicken Katsu wasn't as good and the sauce for it lacked the flavor. The L & L Chicken Katsu plate was huge compared this time to the Liliha drive inn chicken katsu I guess they cut back on the portions due to raising cost and now only sell bottle water no free water in cups. But over all the Liliha drive inn chicken katsu still is delicious and crispy and the dipping sauce is better and much more tastier. Fast service for both restaurants

Late lunch in Kalihi, Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. Located at Kingsgate Plaza, Aloha Express shares its free parking lot with businesses such as Jollibee and S7 Icy Bubble. The former name of Aloha Express is 99 Local Mix Plate. They used to be at Moanalua 99 food court/shopping center. The service is still cheerful and efficient. After I ordered the mini Garlic Ahi, the cashier said it's a better deal to get the special... ok! Later, she told me that they sold out of ahi and can give me mahimahi... ok! Thank you! The rice was ok and the macaroni salad had small bits of carrot and onion in it. I dined in because I was between meetings. I was able to observe the walk-in customers and see how the cashier interacted with everyone. She's really good because she remembers the regulars and their orders! I really enjoyed having a meal in this bright, clean, spacious restaurant. Note: It used to be a Mexican restaurant. It's situated in the corner of the plaza, near the stairs. Go find them!

The guava bar was delicious and flavorful and just crumbles in your mouth! Definitely one of the better guava bars I've tried. Love how crumbly it is. The salmon belly was delicious OMFG. It looks so simple and straightforward but that sht is so flavorful. It is crispy and yet soft on the inside. The salmon belly is cut into bite-sized pieces so I didn't have to worry about using a knife to cut it. I usually try salmon belly where it is usually seasoned lightly to bring out the natural flavor of the salmon, but Guava Smoked's salmon belly is just grilled in a way that makes the salmon sweet/crispy and still get traces of the salmon taste as well. It's definitely not your traditional Japanese-style way of cooking salmon belly but really just their own. I'd go back and get this again. Another thing too. I'd get this with beer. This would hit very hard with alcohol but because I don't drink I need a kombucha. The grilled salmon belly would go perfect with it. Cheers! Uncle was very helpful and kind when serving and if you dine-in he brings it to your table.

I'm waffling somewhere between a 4 and a 5 for Moobongri's AYCE Korean BBQ experience. For the most…read morepart, their Korean BBQ experience is great. The meat is reasonably high quality, the banchan is generous (the last few times I went they even had poke as a banchan included with the meal), and the service is friendly. The "kimchee soup" is one of my favorite kimchee jjigaes on the island. Refills of meat flow generously out of the kitchen, unlike some other AYCE experiences where each subsequent order gets smaller and smaller until they finally cut you off because you've reached the time limit. I only have one gripe. While each table has a very powerful burner for grilling the meat, their universal approach is to prop up a tilted cast iron plate over the fire to grill on. It's propped at an angle so that the oil flows into a catch pan on the side. This usually means that the half of the plate tilted closer to the fire gets really hot, while the other half struggles to get hot enough and risks just boiling your meat. It also makes adjusting the fire a tricky process - if there's a lull between meats coming to your table, someone might come by and, understandably, turn down your flame. That's fine, but when the food does come out, it takes a long time to get the cast iron hot again. This doesn't stop me from coming back for more here, but just one thing I wish was better about an otherwise great experience. There is a parking lot out front but it is cramped and usually fills up. There is usually someone helping to guide parking, but when it's completely full there's only so much they can do. Street parking in the area can also be a little bit tricky.

This place makes their soondae in house as I can tell the difference with frozen soondae and non-frozen ones. Until I go to Korea to try the real thing, this is the best I can get. I definitely think they improved their recipe from the first time I tried it. The aunties here are still very nice but as always give grace because it does get busy here and one aunty would have to take care of multiple tables and party size as well. Overall I'll be coming here whenever I need my soondae fix!! If you haven't tried, definitely come and try! I still need to try the acye here with friends one day!
