Manoa Barbecue

Ok

Manoa Barbeque is small place you might have overlooked but the food holds it own with other more familiar places like L&L or Konas etc. they have a slicer and a grinder so they can serve more fresh cuts and burgers but also have a classic local fkavors and deli restaurant environment that reminds me of when i was a keki. Ask to try their non sweetened ice tea.

Visiting from Kansas. Maybe I just don't get it, but this is not a happy dude. Or a nice dude. I regret buying anything from him, as he really doesn't want to do this.

The food, however, was great. I got BBQ short rib, chicken & teriyaki steak. My other dish was beef stew and lau lau pork.

I also wanted to get saimin, a historical local take on ramen. I got the spam saimin and I gotta say the broth is indeed tasty and the noodles really are different to ramen, hokkien, etc.

I was looking for some traditional Hawaiian from a hole in the wall. I paid way more for that than going to L&L.

I'd tell you more about it, but the poop stain of a human who cooked it didn't have time to tell me anything. How do I know that? He said: 'I'm busy. I don't have time to tell you.'
