History

Established in 2009.

We started as a small take-​out food establishment (a.k.a. plate-​lunch) in Waikiki to accommodate visitors and kama’aina alike.

For the local or kama’aina employed in the vicinity of Waikiki we wanted to offer a meal that could be brought to work or purchased quickly and conveniently during the brief time allocated for their lunch or dinner break.

We also set up a simple outdoor seating area which functions wonderfully during clear weather!

For the visitor we thought that very few restaurants can rival the view from their own room and of course the dress code is quite null when dining in room. We wanted to offer a good meal that could be enjoyed away from the busy streets of Waikiki, in the comfort of one’s own room, a meal that could even be taken to the beach and enjoyed in the warm sun or the shade of a tree.

Part of the concept was for our meals to be made with the ability to eat without a table, and thus our plates are made to be held with one hand while eaten with the other!

Meet the Business Owner

Sam M.

Business Owner

Born in the Caribbean.

Traveled the Seven Seas.

Visited and lived in over thirty countries. Enjoyed each country’s cuisine immensely, as proved by his bulging belly.

Hosted a travel show for ten years which was aired in Japan, where he really is huge! Literally.

Loves to burn off the excess garlic rice at the beach while taking mean photos from inside spitting barrels.

He had the revelation to make food that could be eaten without a table while at sea for 26 days in a 36 foot sailboat.

During this same crossing all the spoons were swept off the deck into the sea and he had another revelation of a new way to eat food not involving traditional utensils. It is ultra-​secret and will be revealed soon, changing the jaw muscles of humanity for the remainder of time!

«Curious» may be the one word to describe him, by which he would likely reply «quite».
