Eat The Street: Black Saturday

Food trucks have been the talk amongst foodies for the past few years, and the trick was always figuring out where they were. For most of us, we work during the week and it's not convenient for us to pay them a visit during our lunch breaks. But now, one Friday evening each month, they congregate in Kakaako on one block, serving up their delicious...

Queen Street Grill and Cafe

Formerly located in town, Queen Street Grill is now serving up their delicious plate lunches in Aiea. My favorite plate is the furikake garlic chicken. The chicken is crispy, sweet, and juicy. The shrimp tempura/steak combo is also a great choice, although I need to mention that the batter that they use is not traditional tempura batter. The...
