My Favorite Restaurants

(and places I eat at)

Bangkok Chef. We usually order the yellow chicken curry and/or cashew nut chicken

Mr. Eggroll. We used go here all the time when we had the clubhouse on Ward. Fried rice, orange chicken, and eggplant.

Bob's Big Boy. I used to go there after Tuesday volleyball. Not so much now. Fried Noodles or Chicken Cutlet. [4/29/09 - unfortunately they had a fire]

Liliha Bakery. Fumio takes me here. I like the mahi and the county style omellette is pretty tasty (though it really doesn't fill me up).

And don't forget Costco Food Court. $1.50 for hotdog and drink. $10 for a whole pizza. Hard to beat.

Mama's BBQ. I probably wouldn't go here if it wasn't so close by. The food is OK, but I don't like the fact that their BBQ chicken has bones in it. Last time, I got around the problem by ordering chicken katsu instead. [4/29/09]

Chinese Kitchen (Nuuanu Plaza). Since Mr. Eggroll is kind of out the way now for me, we usually go to Chinese Kitchen. The food is OK, but nothing to go out of the way for. Other options are Hoy Tin and New Mui Kwai. New Mui Kwai has the advantage of having a little handier parking. [4/29/09]

One Plus One. This is a place we sometimes to go to get food when we go to volleyball games. I think we just saw it and decided to try something other than L&L. I liked it anyway. The shoyu pork roast (or whatever it's called) is tender. The spaghetti is tasty. They make it chinese style. [5/23/09]

Royal Kitchen - my favorite place for manapua. I like their char siu bao in particular. But their gok jai and siu mai is pretty good too.

Nice Day - got dim sum from here a few times. More variety than the Royal Kitchen half moon, okole, char siu bao offerings. The reviews aren't so good, but I thought the food was pretty good. Last time was the first time I ordered myself. They have a table from where you can choose your dim sum for take out. They come in these little covered baskets. Didn't know you have to take the whole basket. Can't break up the food inside. Well maybe for the big char siu bao you can but not the small baskets. So wound up buying more than intended.
