No 1 Chinese Bbq Restaurant — Restaurant in Hawaii

Look, this is probably one of the greatest true to life Chinese American with that Hawaiian twist restaurants there is. They have all the makings of true greatness. The kid doing homework in the corner, the poor lighting at night, the bathroom is locked because of chronics and you have to ask for the key...but it is clean. There are large portions. Good food. General Tso's chicken is my personal favorite with da mac salad on the side. All the locals I met there were always cool, talk story, all that.

I don't want anything off the steam tray line...nah, don't get that. Get the hamburger steak or plate lunch special. Buy a random piece of Dragon fruit. The ladies that run this place are real nice.

I had the chicken katsu and it was made fresh in the back and was delicious! Another member of our group had the fish and it took significantly longer, but he said it was delicious. (Fresh fishy in Hawaii)

I had a Kirkland dragonfruit drink and ... it tasted like any other red-flavored liquid.

I was sad that their bathroom said No Public Restroom. I don't remember other restaurants not having a bathroom. The second time I went, I didn't get a drink, just in case.

We went in around 2pm. 4 women behind the counter made me feel rushed in ordering the cafeteria style food. I got some fried chicken pieces that were so hard and dried out I could barely chew them. I also got their temperature abused bbq chicken that gave me food poisoning. I knew it was bad because when I bit into it, it was tepid. I didn’t finish it and still woke up that night vomiting. You can tell the proprietors have no intention in upgrading the restaurant. The pictures of food that were above the serving line were so old and faded. That should’ve...
