3.5 stars for the good food and good service we enjoyed at the local “legend”. Recommended by more than one person we met during a helicopter ride at the airport nearby. When we arrived we were stunned to find a huge menu board on the...wall along with just as many additional choices posted on signs and white boards at the front counter. Expect to take some time making a decision. Lots of traditional Hawaiian choices like ono fish and chips, teriyaki chicken plate, kalbi beef, and seafood plate. But so much more-burgers, sandwiches, rib eye steak, liver and onions, fried chicken, roast turkey, bento, loco moco, on and on. The choices are immense! So after looking them over and asking some questions my wife chose the hot pastrami sandwich and my choice was the tempura mahi sandwich. Both sands came with a choice of fries or onion rings and either a green salad or Mac salad. Surprising to get rings offered with a sandwich-you gotta pay more for that at home. The sandwiches were nice size and both were delicious. Pastrami was flavorful with lots of pickles on the sandwich. Maybe too many. Greens and onion also. My mahi was cooked perfectly and came on a nice grilled roll with greens onion and tomato with a house sauce. Really good. The rings were plentiful but just your typical foodservice frozen variety. My wife’s green salad looked delicious but had to take it home-too full. Strangely my Mac salad tasted like it had tuna in it. They were much too busy to ask but I still enjoyed it. Maybe home made? I still enjoyed every bite. We also picked a brownie but again that went home untouched. Looked great. All in all a great lunch. May be back this week for breakfast.More

The food here was excellent and the Loco Moco was very good! We all had great food here even though we ordered different things.
