Ninja sushi, what an awesome name. I gotta see what this deadly sushi is all about.

 

 

No table service, just order and pick a table. The inside is fresh and clean but no restrooms are available whatsoever.

I’m a fan of the ninja stars on the ceiling.

 

I ordered the Dynamite Maki and the Lion Maki.

 

Lion Maki, $6.99. This lion tasted as good as it looks.

 

All the pictures looked so good that I had to get more than one thing. It’s a good thing that my honey was there to help me out. This is the Dynamite Maki, $7.25.

 

I’m a huge fan of this place and really impressed with the execution of food. Let’s face it this isn’t exactly fine dining, it’s not even table side service, but the food came out looking as good as the pictures they display and the portions weren’t skimpy at all. As for the taste, it hit the spot with the exact precision I would expect with a name like that. Ninja sushi kicks ass.

On the way out I realized how lucky I am to be living here in Hawaii. Where else can you see mountains like this?

It’s right here in our backyard folks. I love Hawaii.

The Eastside Grill is located right next to The Greek Corner. I’m a huge fan of The Greek Corner, so I was hoping its next door neighbor was would put out some tasty competition that was as equally affordable.

 

This was my fist time here so I didn’t really know what to expect. It didn’t surprise me to see a full array of liquor at the bar and several large televisions throughout the restaurant all playing a different sport simultaneously.

This was definitely a sports bar with a college, Hawaiian vibe.

You can always count on Old Captain Morgan to be there.

 

We ordered the Tomato Basil Pasta with Shrimp, $9.25 but we requested to have both chicken and shrimp and like always, money talks, and for a small fee, ($3.00) it was done. I really enjoyed the large shrimp. I think it came with a total of 5 pieces of shrimp. As for the chicken. I think there might have been maybe 5 pieces as well, and that’s giving them the benefit of the doubt. Although the flavor was good, the dish itself was dry. I mean, they should of just called it a pasta salad. Also, for $12.25 I didn’t get much noodles. Warning, objects in picture are a lot larger than they appear. This dish came with two pieces of garlic bread. I enjoyed them very much because they weren’t too greasy or salty.

Our friend ordered Chopped Steak Stir Fry, $7.95. As you can see in the picture, it’s “tender “unique” steak sauteed’ with mixed vegetables & toss greens.” I’m curious as to why they put unique in quotations. What’s so unique about this steak? Hummm? It’s like saying something has special sauce. What’s so special about the sauce? Yeah, uh huh, sure. Hold the special sauce, I’ll take ranch spank you very much. Just like the meat, I don’t need any “unique meat.” I’m a boring person that prefers my meat normal. Anyway, this was not my dish, it was Shane’s and he ordered as is. Pussy.

I forgot to take a picture of the dish but I did get to taste it and I can tell you nothing was unique about this dish. It was boring as hell. You know those prepackaged frozen stir fry meals you get at the grocery store, well that’s exactly what this tasted like. Just heat and serve.

 

For dessert I ordered a mud pie, $5.95. I was appalled when I got this. Seriously, are you guys looking at what was served to me. Is this not the skinniest most pathetic piece of pie, ever? The mud pies I’m accustomed to looks like a ginormous mess of “mud,” or kona coffee ice cream, then drizzled with chocolate sauce, covered in whipped cream, drizzled with chocolate sauce again and then sprinkled with nuts and topped with a cherry. If it sounds like I have experience in mud pies it’s because I do.

Take a closer look and what do you see, frost bite.

Not just one side but on both. Unbelievable! I envisioned myself picking up the mud pie and chucking in straight in the back of my waitresses head as she walked away, turning her into the dirty whore that she is for serving me this atrocious piece of shit.

Now here’s the worst part, when Ray tried to dig into it with his fork, the thing wouldn’t budge. It was like trying to break apart a brick with a fork. This mud pie wasn’t going down without a fight and either was Ray. Then all of a sudden half of the pie shot, not flew but shot right into the direction of the table caddy corner from us. Luckily it pierced the floor directly in front of some poor strangers foot. The whole family at the table obviously thought that we threw the pie at them, I mean how else is does food get shot across the room like that. We all roared in laughter because the whole situation was hilarious. I put my hands up, letting them know that that was so not intentionally.

Needless to say I hate this place. I can’t help but to be a little offended. What person in their right mind would send something out in that condition. Hey, there’s nothing wrong with white lies. Tell me you guys are out of pie, end of story, no ones hurt. Lie to me bitch, lie to me! The pasta was weak and service was poor. I did skim over their pupu menu and it did look tempting I have to say. I’m gonna take a while guess and say people come here for drinks. They must have really good drinks.
