Around 2 o'clock, I finished my errands and since I hadn't eaten anything all morning, I was super hungry (T.T). I decided to check out Eat Log to find something to eat. I was in the mood for something Hawaiian, so I chose this place called "Hawaiian Restaurant ALOHABABY." It had been a while since I had Hawaiian food! It's located not far from Matsuo Shrine and has a stylish exterior with a nice, lively atmosphere. I was seated at a table near the kitchen, which had a very Aloha vibe. The spacious interior was comfortable to relax in. The clientele seemed to be mostly moms and families, which made sense given the location and atmosphere. The lunch menu had options such as Beef Steak Rice for 1,500 yen, Chicken Over Rice for 1,000 yen, Teriyaki SPAM&Egg Plate for 800 yen, Beef Salad Bowl for 1,200 yen, Ahi Poke Bowl for 1,100 yen, Garlic Ahi Steak for 1,500 yen, Garlic Shrimp Rice for 1,500 yen, Beef Taco Rice for 1,000 yen, and today's curry for 900 yen, all of which came with soup. You could also add a drink for an additional 200 yen! I decided to go for the Poke Steak, a popular Hawaiian dish, and ordered a Tropical Iced Tea to drink. The steak looked amazing! There were also classic Hawaiian dishes like Avocado Poke Bowl and Poke Steak on the menu. People in Hawaii (and even in the US) seem to like hearty dishes. It's interesting how tastes can vary so much based on race, nationality, and upbringing. Our orders arrived after about 15 minutes, along with the soup. The Beef Steak and Poke Steak were served, and they looked impressive! The portions were generous! This is what I call Hawaiian food! The aroma was fantastic. I started with the salad to get some veggies in. And then, the Poke Steak! It was tender, juicy, and flavorful. It paired perfectly with the rice and sauce underneath. However, the flavor was extremely strong. I couldn't taste anything but the sauce... It was a bit overwhelming. The dish was too heavy and salty. I wonder if everyone eats it like this? The atmosphere was nice and cozy, so I think it would be a good place to come for drinks. Overall, it was a good experience. Thank you for the meal.
