I wanted Islander food and I wanted to try Bowlz LV located in Southern Highlands. There were a few booths. I looked at the decor and noticed the signs. I liked that they are affiliated some how with Side Street Inn as I used to go there a lot back in the day. I wanted to order everything on the menu so I narrowed it down to a 2 bentos. Being from Hawaii and talking story with the older Japanese lady workers, that itself made the service good. However, one would say I'm biased. Susan C. was very nice and sweet. I believe she was the Aunt of the owner. I had to ask her to remove one of the bentos on the receipt as I did not order it. She did and apologized which was perfectly fine with me. My to go order was served first (even though I ordered it after my dine in order.)
Food:
Bento Bowl - 1 Scoop Rice No Furikaki, Fried Chicken, Fried Noodles, Spam, Red Hotdog
Bowlz Pac with Macaroni Salad, 2 Scoops Rice with Furikake, Fried Chicken, Fried Mahi Mahi with the BEST TARTER Sauce, Rib Eye Teri Beef, Spam, and 1 piece of Takuan
Roast Pork with Gravy - To Go with Kimchee
1/2 Dozen Poi Mochi
The Bento Bowl gave me a chance to try the different foods. I like the fried noodles. It was plain with green onions. The flavor was there. The Spam and hot dog was yummy. The fried chicken was a bit disappointing for me. I wanted the garlic chicken but since there was no substitutions I didn't ask. The chicken had no flavor at all. It needed salt. The Teri Beef was yummy. So tender and flavorful. Tupac says the tarter sauce for the fish was the best ever. Lastly, the roast pork was very tender and delicious. I loved how the gravy was smothered all over the rice. Overall, it was a great meal.
For dessert, I ordered Poi Mochi. I was so excited to eat this. It was delicious and it hit the spot. Overall, if you're looking for a local Hawaii spot, Bowlz LV is the place to visit. I will try the Pork Ribs next time because I was told that it's like Side Street Inn Pork Chops.
