Pomai, was that you in Waikiki on Halloween dressed as bag of Hawaiian Potato Chip Man? Maybe not. I will try this place for that Mahimahi dish.

Man, the days of the 5 dollar plate lunch and cake/pie are long gone, but I would prefer to at least see the people who are making my food and know it’s going to them. Then again, I know how filling a mini-plate at the Makiki Drive-In could be, and that was worth the price, as I’m sure the items on the North Shore Grinds menu are.

So delicious. Seriously, this blog should have a warning at the top: do not read if hungry! Especially since I can’t always get this food where I live! But it definitely inspires me to cook it at home. Love their shirt — good luck on your next Vegas trip. They didn’t have it in red??

Aloha Karen,

Mahalo for the kind compliments. Truly appreciated.

I think you’ll be very pleased with Tim’s Cascade Snacks Hawaiian Luau Barbecue Rings. Tastes just like the original Nibb-its, albeit considerably more spicy-hot.

Molly, Ha-ha, Bento Man! I should have worn that around Waikiki last night. I forgot the costume at work. Waikiki was pretty insane last night, although not as much as last year. Got some great photos of folks in costume. Will share it in post coming soon.

Nate, shucks, sounds like she had didn’t like her dish?

Kelike, you can’t go wrong with the Herb Crusted Mahi plate. That was a winnah.

Kimo, FYI, Ted’s pies are sold whole only there, not by the slice. Although I’m sure they’ll provide you some plates, forks and a knife to cut it.

Hi Pomai,
I’m a long time lurker. I just wanted to say how much I enjoy your website. Your descriptions of the food are so engaging and the photos are beautiful. I even e-mail some links to your entries, like this one, to my sister who lives in Hawaii so she can experience some great eats too. It makes me miss Hawaii even more!
Anyway -thanks so much for sharing and letting those of us away from home “eat” local grinds vicariously through your blog!
P.S. I loved the previous Nibb-its entry! I could see from the pics that the new Nibb-its were just not the same, as you pointed out. I’ll be on the lookout for Tims

That mahimahi with lemon cream sauce looks so onolicious!

(And can we expect the return of Bento-Man this year?!)
