Just drove past what looks to be a new Hawaii BBQ on Kingsway called "Ohana." (At least the sign looks new.) Has anyone tried it?

Cheers!

Ok, I passed by yesterday and noticed it was still closed. But there was a handwritten sign on the door talking about opening soon. I was driving and it was written small, but I think it said opening June 23rd. But I could be off by a day or two.

Cheers!

There was rumour that Arne was opening a new business because they needed a place to store all those Hawaiian decorations. :biggrin: I wonder if Spam will be on the menu?

It better be if they are striving for a true Hawaiian BBQ dining experience! Others from the Hawaii forum could offer more details of the origins, development, etc. of what is being called Hawaiian BBQ outside Hawaii - it is what we Plate Lunch here in Hawaii. Usually consists of a couple of scoops of rice, macaroni salad and your choice/s of main dish (teriyaki, katsu curry, Korean style short ribs, huli huli chicken, etc.). Also typically offered are a variety of a la carte items such as the ever-popular SPAM musubi.

Here is a link to the L&L site for the mainland U.S. - they are the major players in the expansion of this type of food eastward and westward of Hawaii. L&L/Hawaiian Barbecue website

Vancouver, can you fill me in on what Hawaiian BBQ is all about?  I've never heard of this type of cuisine...

You can get an idea of what I imagine this location will probably offer: Ohana BBQ

Don't know if this is going to be the same Ohana BBQ, or if they are just ripping off the name?

I've personally never tried it myself, but am always up for something new.

Cheers!

At least it probably is made with a lot of love from the heart. Or something like that?!?!?!

Cheers!
