Rada's Piroscki is yummylicious. My favorite is Beef Cheese & Cabbage. I go there often & never get tired of eating Piroscki. Give it a try you will be going back for more.

The best tasting Filipino food EVER!!: great prices too

This was a interesting find in the heart of Downtown Honolulu. It isn't everyday that you find Eastern European food in a Filipino restaurant. This simple and cheap grab and go gut buster Piroscki shop was fairly decent.

I have to say, for a little restaurant in the downtown area, the service was very friendly and quick. I was immediately asked what I wanted with a smile and graciously thanked. Even asked if I needed help by someone working hard in the kitchen that didn't noticed the other lady had already attended to me.

The pirosckis were hot and fresh, but deep fried, so they are why I call them gut busters. Probably just what you need after a heavy night of drinking in the morning. Ordered the beef, cabbage and cheese which was a mildly seasoned filling that went well with the deep fried pasty covering.

One thing for sure, the price was right. It came to exactly $2 with tax, so it made for a cheap snack that didn't break the wallet and was probably a much better choice then ordering from the McDonald's dollar menu. They also had a very reasonable lunch combination plate with fried calamari and salad for only $5.50. So hard to get a cheap deal these days and this place has got them.

If a piroscki is not what you are in a mood for, the other side of the restaurant is Vicky's and they have assume Filipino food. There is plenty seating inside if you want to dine in and avoid the riffraff on Ft. Street Mall.

Rada's Piroscki is located on Front Street Mall. You order from the window. Prices are reasonable. I ate one of each (beef w/mushrooms, beef w/cabbage and chicken w/mushrooms). The best way to describe it would be a deep fried manapua filled with beef or chicken. I like it and it wasn't as greasy as I thought it would be. I'll have to try the fried squid next time.
