Kanack Attack Massive Plate Lunches Kalihi, Hawaii

[@SupremeJudge]

So glad you got to try it. My faves are the Town & Country and the Tonkatsu with Chorizo gravy. They're pretty popular with the workers so they usually sell out by 12:30pm ish so go around 10:45-11:30 if you can. Rudy (The Owner) takes a lot of pride in what he serves to his customers and it shows. Those shrimp katsus are MEATY, high quality stuff.

[@FoodFiend]

Mahalo brother for suggesting this restaurant. The food was mean! Thank you again! 🤙

[@hhernando808]

Thanks for another great video highlighting a locally owned business! I always look forward to watching your videos and recommendations on where to find the best food on the island.

Aloha Paula thank you! Yes way too many places to keep up!

[@michellejosefoodandtravel]

Aloha Misty!! We love Streats of Aloha! We met them through their ohana Reecie B’s. They definitely pack a heavy plate!! Fried noodles with the shrimp stick are some of our favorites from them. We enjoy the Filipino dishes they do too!! Cannot wait to try some of their other dishes soon! Mahalo as always for showcasing a great spot! Have a great week ahead!!

[@FoodFiend]

Ah I saw Reecie B's truck and thought the food looked similar. Good to know it's the same. Mahalo for watching and can't wait to see more of your videos Michelle and Jose! Have a great week as well!

I really like it with a custard pie like bottom.🤙 Mahalo for another great review👍

Hey Misty 👋 That Town and Country is one of the best looking plate food ever ! Great choice 😋 On a different note there seems a common theme with the small hole in the wall places, they either close mid afternoon or until sold out. I’m guessing they have loyal local customers ! Cheers Rod 🤙

[@FoodFiend]

@classyfiftynine8208 The Team Rojas shirt is a Rojas Cigar shirt. My friend from TX gave it to me because he knows Rojas. The plate was awesome and I'd get it again. Maybe I'd sub the Teri beef for something else even if it would cost extra.

Thank you! So sorry but believe it or not I don't like both 🤣 I think I don't like the sourness of it. But there is Toshi's on King St near Palace Saimin (got to go early), Gulick Deli, Matsumoto's Okazuya (diagonally across Gulicks) that make cone and maki sushi. I was told Jay's Sushi in City Square where Youngs Fish Market is makes cone sushi. I ate there but just ordered nigiri and enjoyed it. Hope that helps. There's Mitsuba closest to you but you probably know about them I assume.

[@deborahmerritt4094]

Isn’t the white the milk layer? This is similar to what my elementary and high school cafeteria manager called jello cheese cake desert. Does the kimchi fried rice come with the shrimp katsu? I will head out to this place after I retire and have more time to exercise , so I can afford the calories provided❤, yum!

[@FoodFiend]

Yes the white is like a milk layer. The Zippy's Jello cheesecake has a graham cracker crust, then topped with cream cheese like a cream cheese pie and topped with several layers of Jello. I think they still sell them in Napoleon's Bakery. The kim chi fried rice only comes with the gochujang pork, but I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to ask them to sub it in the Town and Country plate. Not sure if they would do it or not, as that plate only has one scoop of rice. Most of the starch is noodles. 😊
