In addition to the cool treats, they have all sorts of pop culture toys and items to buy, as well as a LEGO wall for kids to play at.

Little Sparrow

Little Sparrow can be found at the Mililani Farmers Market on Sundays.  I first tried them a couple years ago, and decided to pick up a bowl of spaetzle during a recent visit. 

CBM

The CBM was a hearty bowl filled with spinach and lemon spaetzle, chicken, bacon, mushrooms, cheese, green onions, and a paprikash sauce.  If you love spinach, you'll love this dish.  It was quite spinach forward, and the chicken, bacon, and mushroom complemented the spaetzle nicely.

It was satisfying and delicious!

Burgers & Burritos Hawaii

I rarely eat burgers, but I tried a burger at Burgers & Burritos Hawaii when they opened their brick & mortar on Kapahulu a few years ago, and I was a fan.  They have since closed their shop and can be found at various farmers markets throughout the island.  We recently got some burgers & burritos and more when they were at the Mililani Farmers Market (Sundays).   

Chili Verde Plate

1K (Classic) Burger

The Classic Burger was topped with cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions, and house dressing.

Steak & Eggs Breakfast Burrito

"Hawaiian Burger"

The "Hawaiian" Burger had bleu cheese, bacon, pineapple, lettuce, pico salsa, aioli, and mustard.

Strawberry Lemonade

Follow them on IG to find out where they'll be!

Breakfast at The Clubhouse Mlilani

It's no secret that I love The Clubhouse Mililani.  I think it's the best restaurant in Mililani, offering great, local food.  

Saimin

Pork Belly Fried Rice Omelette

I had the Pork Belly Fried Rice Omelette, and it was delicious!  The fried rice itself was great, with chunks of pork belly and a finadene sauce, which made it very flavorful.  The omelette comes with toast, but I subbed it with tater tots (because I love tater tots!) for an upcharge.  

Service was great, as usual.

Rice Box Cafe

Rice Box Cafe is a go-to in Mililani.  Our entire family loves Rice Box Cafe.  They have a small menu, but it works.  The food is consistently good!

Chicken Katsu

I love the Chicken Katsu.  The chicken is always so juicy, and they give a lot of it too!  The tsukemono aioli gives another dimension of flavor.

Misoyaki Salmon

Dynamite Chicken

One of my kid's faves is the Dynamite Chicken.  The chicken is topped with a chili aioli, negi-kabayaki, furikake, and katsuo flakes - it's one of my faves too!

Poke Stop

It's been a while since we had Poke Stop.  My go-to is always the Veggie Lovers Burger with Eggplant Fries.

The Eggplant Fries are just so addicting!

Veggie Lovers Burger + Eggplant Fries

I thought the mushroom and tofu were a bit underseasoned, but the fries - they were so tasty!

Of course Poke Stop has poke, but they also offer plate lunches, noodles, bentos, and more!

Akamai Foods at Mililani Farmers' Market

Whenever we go to the Mililani Farmers' Market, a must-stop is Akamai Foods for their juices and lemonades, which my kids love.  

On this visit, my son tried the Magical Lemonade, which was infused with vanilla bean and butterfly pea flower. This drink is good for stress, memory, and anti-inflammation.  

Akamai Foods is known for their Oatcakes, which we have yet to try - maybe next time!

Rakumen Revisited

It's been a while since we ordered from Rakumen.  I enjoy the food, and they also give huge portions.  

Chicken Katsu Curry Rice

I always get the Chicken Katsu Curry Rice, and I thought it was great that they gave the curry separately versus pouring it all over the rice, with the chicken on top, which was how it was served previously for take-out.  

I did wish, however, they gave Mac Salad like on the Mochiko Chicken plate.

Some of us had lots of leftovers for another meal (or two!) - we really appreciate the generous servings!

Nagoya Ramen

After an already crazy morning, I decided to get lunch for the kids at Nagoya Ramen so no one would have to cook or make lunch for themselves.  

And by lunch from Nagoya, I meant the baked goods in the grab-and-go case, since I find those options very inexpensive, yet quite filling.

They offer a lot of sweets, but we only got savories: Spam & Cheese Bun, Hot Dog & Cheese Bun, and Char Siu Manapua.  

Usually the Spam & Cheese Bun is sold out whenever I go there, but this time the kids lucked out and bought them.

The kids enjoyed what we bought, and I did too.

The Clubhouse Mililani

It's been a while since I went to or ordered from The Clubhouse Mililani.   Thankfully - all my faves are still on the menu, and not surprisingly, the food is still so good!

Korean Fried Chicken

Kim Chee Fried Rice

Teri Beef

Dry Mein

Tater Tot Nachos

I typically order any or all of the above for lunch or dinner at The Clubhouse at Mililani.

The Tater Tot Nachos are my fave - a pile of crispy tots with sour cream, guac, cheese, and pickled onions.  So addicting!

The Dry Mein was great even without the dipping broth (not pictured), and the Korean Chicken was juicy and tasty.  The Teri Beef was tender and the Kim Chee Fried Rice had a little heat.

The food is perfect for family style dining!

Tanaka Ramen & Izakaya opened up in Miliani earlier this year, and we recently ordered take-out.

Tokyo Curry Don Karaage Chicken

My usual at Tanaka Ramen & Izakaya is the Tokyo Curry Don Karaage Chicken.  The curry is so tasty, and the chicken is seasoned and cooked nicely, without being tough or chewy.

Pork Gyoza

I always get Gyoza as well.  They are the perfect complement, whether you order curry or ramen!

The Kal-bi + Chicken Bento also included rice, ahi, ebi, and egg nigiri, inari, and namasu.  

Hawaiian Maki

The Hawaiian Maki included spicy ahi, avocado, unagi, and unagi sauce.  

Mix Chirashi Donburi

The Volcano Maki consisted of kanimi crab, avocado, cucumber, tenkasu flakes, spicy ahi, and green onions.

Daddy Delicious BBQ

Daddy Delicious BBQ operates a food truck in Mililani Tech Park.

Smoked Mac & Cheese

I had the Smoked Mac & Cheese, which was loaded with chopped brisket and pickled onions. The Mac & Cheese itself was so cheesy and so good, but the addition of the tender, flavorful, smoky brisket made it amazing.  The pickled onions added a nice vinegary, crunchy touch.

The container was just full of comfort food goodness - it easily lasted me two meals.  

Daddy Delicious BBQ was a nice find in Mililani!
