I have never had Hawaiian bbq so I thought Id try it for lunch today. The restaurant is new in our area and is located on Va. Beach blvd near Military hwy. I chose a sampler plate ($7.50) for lunch that included grilled chicken, beef and spareribs. The chicken was well marinated and slightly sweet though meat was a bit fatty as it was a thigh complete with skin. The beef was sliced very thin (both spareribs and a piece of thin steak?) and was very fatty. It also had a sweet marinade similar in taste to the chicken. All items were served on a bed of cabbage with a scoop of rice and of mac salad. The mac salad was full of mayo and didn't have much flavor. The rice was simply steamed but had some crunchy bits? in it. My fav. item on the plate was actually the uncooked cabbage! It began to wilt under the heat of the meat and once the fat and juices dripped onto it, it was actually quite good (sad, I know.) I chose a Hawaiian punch for my drink (seemed appropriate) and this was good but was from the drink fountain so this was to be expected. All in all the food was decent, but not great. The portions were huge and the price was good, but because this meal didn't "wow" me nor was it remotely healthy, I don't plan on going back. If you like this sort of thing, check it out! On a side note, all the employees were attentive and nice :).
