This place boasts 14 different kinds of musubi, topped with char siu and egg, Korean BBQ steak, tuna, chicken, smoked pork and the usual Spam and hot dogs. The couple I tried were pretty tasty. All ready to eat as you head out on a day of sightseeing. More than 50 years ago, Suteko Kitada opened this tiny restaurant in Makawao, and it remains the same as it was then. Kitada died in January, leaving the restaurant in the capable hands of her daughter Ethel Hotema and son Wilfred Kitada.
People come here for their beef hekka and rice and a host of other local specialties.
Dry mein here was very tasty, laced with pork slices and accompanied by an excellent saimin dashi on the side. I've been coming here since I was a baby. The food tastes the same as when I was a kid. On the day we were there, a long line of construction workers discouraged our getting a plate since we had more territory to cover, but perhaps the line was testament to their food. Benedict served on Saturday and Sunday.
