"I was welcomed by Howard, the cashier, but I needed a little extra time to make my decision. He was very patient and allowed me to take my time. When another customer received his order, I asked him for suggestions. He mentioned that he really enjoyed the #2 BBQ Platter (or combo) and confessed that he hadn't tried anything else. Shortly after, a woman walked in, noticed I was new to the place, and recommended that I try one of the bowls. I chatted more with Howard, who took the time to explain some of the menu items and inquire about my food preferences. In the end, I decided to go for the #2 BBQ Platter as my starting point. I really appreciated Howard's assistance in navigating the menu. He also mentioned that if I didn’t want the macaroni salad or white rice that came with the platter, I could exchange them for other options listed on the whiteboard. I chose the French fries, which looked delicious in the menu picture. When I got home and opened my overflowing box (it was barely closed—just take a look at the picture!), I sat down for lunch. It turned out to be a generous and tasty meal! The ribs, beef, and chicken were all grilled to perfection and practically melted in my mouth. There was also a refreshing lettuce salad tucked beneath the meat. I definitely intend to return to try the bowls and explore more items on the menu because what I had was truly enjoyable. I recommend this restaurant, especially this location, due to Howard's outstanding customer service. However, I rated the ambiance three stars because I was hoping for a more Hawaiian-inspired décor."
