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.

Kalapawai Cafe & Deli is the offspring of Kalapawai Market. Apparently business is doing well at the market so what else to do but venture out into the dining business.

This is seared marlin fish plate. The menu had a better description, but I didn’t memorize it and they don’t have to go menus because apparently it always changes.

Salmon Papaya Salad.

Roasted Potatoes

Salmon Bruschetta

This trip was taken a while back so I can’t go into too much detail about it. What I can tell you is that we all loved this place. From the outside it looked like an affordable deli; perfect for a quick, affordable bite to satisfy our hunger after a long day at the beach before we head back home. However looks are deceiving as we all know, so once we were inside we felt a little under dressed in our damp T-shirts, board shorts and left over sand that molded itself into the cushions of our tender, sun baked skin, so we sat outside in the patio. Service was great. The menu was, wow, really affordable. $8.00 for fish, sweet! I don’t have to force myself to order the cheapest thing on the menu. However, like I said, looks are deceiving, and when the food came out we were a little displeased with the inadequate portion size. I guess you get what you pay for, affordable, small, palatable dishes that left us wanting more. And that’s exactly what we did. It was so good, we order a bottle of cheap wine and another dish. Actually, we ordered this bottle because of its name, “Fat Bastard.”

Just like we ordered “Bitch” wine from, coincidently, its mother market Kalapawai Market because of its name.

Kalapawai Cafe & Deli is a great place, with good atmosphere, food and service at a decent price. One plate wasn’t enough for any of us, so come here with good company that makes taking of more interest than eating.

Bogart’s is one of my favorite places to have breakfast. It’s one of those places where no matter what you order you can’t go wrong. The last two times I’ve gone I’ve ordered the Lox Bagel. Now, I know I’m all about trying new things, unless it’s just that freaking good and that it is.

The Lox Bagel cost me $7.75 and is a bagel with cream cheese, capers, onions and tomato topped with smoked salmon. I think everyone should experience one in their lifetime. I like to have it for breakfast but I think this could swing for any meal.

My advice however is to go to Bogart’s for breakfast. I was there the other day for lunch and service was horrible. Ray came to the table after ordering our food and said, “I don’t think pregnant people should be aloud to work.” Our food was delivered to us in a plastic bag and practically thrown at us. The girl was pregnant so maybe her hormones were all out of wack but I still don’t think that should allow her a, “I get to be a biatch” card. Like I said, go for breakfast; service is good in the morning and sucks during the day.
