On a weeknight, hands down, Helena's.
But, the next best place is Mexico Restaurant, right across the street from Helena's.
Last night: Combo Plate. Pork Tamale, Chicken Burrito, Beef Enchilada, rice and beans. Chips and salsa to warm up.
The decor is beautiful and the ambiance is relaxing.
Come early, park at the school, and walk over.
For dessert: Malasadas from the Damien concession.
Jones, TESTIFY!
Helena's!!! ooohhh so ono!!
only thing is the waiting when they're busy!!
I absolutely agree, Ed. The restaurant is called, of all things, Mexico Restaurant (pretty original). As Ed mentioned above, its a great place to have dinner before (or after) a game at Damien or even Kamehameha.
The portions was pretty good size too. I'm usually a pretty heavy hitter when it comes down to food intake (probably not as big a heavy hitter as Ed, but that's another story) but I couldn't finish my plate there was that much food.
The walk back to Damien helped burn some of the calories that was taken in.
Homemade malasadas from Damien for dessert was winnahz!
Stay tuned tomrrow folks, when Jones and I will profile:
Best Place To Eat Before A Game At St. Louis!
*prints out google map to Helena's and Mexico Restaurant* lol......Thanks for the heads up Ed...
Next time you come to the Big Isle you should check out Jimmy's...It's across from the Tribune Herald...Get the Ozen Special...
We were 1.9 seconds away from possibly flying up this Saturday!
But yes, I will check out next time I'm up in beautiful Hilo town!
bibby - what is the Ozen Special?
Steak, Chicken Katsu, Mac Salad, Miso Soup, Sashimi, Rice, Daikon, and 2 Shrimps....The Katsu is really good..best i've ever tasted...
Wow! My mouth is crying...
Wow! Best Katsu I ever had is at Irifune's on Kapahulu! As they are know for their garlic ahi, they also have the best spicy ahi sushi!
My mouth is really crying...
Any ideas for tonight Ed?
Niniku-Ya
St Louis Drive In
Fresh Catch
These are the one's in walking distance.
Kim Chee 2 is little too far to walk!
Ed, at least you'd be walking back to St. Louis gym going downhill...love Kim Chee II, but not sure if it's worth the uphill trek. I'd go with St. Louis Drive-In for sure
The dinner plate at Kim Chee 2 is the best!
St. Louis Drive In is solid too!
Lot's of places on Waialae.
I think I am going to leave my students now and go get some lunch. Its ok, they are taking a test. They won't miss me.
MITSU KENS!!! BY FAR BEST GARLIC CHICKEN AROUND.
plus its really cheap and quick.
(right across the street from helenas)
and helenas is a good place if you want some of the best squid luau of your life!
Hey Roosevelt Coach! Nice of you to allow open book tests for your students. Especially since you're running to get lunch!
HAHAHA. Might be the only way for some to pass. I ended up talking with a parent the entire lunch so I didn't get to run out. Where are the best places to eat in Aiea? I teach out here so let me know where to go.
I don't get to go out there often but I heard that The Heights is good. The Aiea bowling alley is also pretty good.
All this time I thought you were a teacher at Roosevelt as well.
No, I don't think I would want to see my players all day. haha. I teach 5th grade. I like it better, that way if the younger kids upset me I can take it out on my players.
Aiea Bowl does have good food. I used to bowl in a league out there and the food is great. Just getting tired of running to McDonalds and Wendys all the time. It showed on TV the other night how much I go there.
how i throw in w&m burgers and if you feel like driving onos
RooseveltCoach.
Across the street from Aiea Shopping is center, is a ramen place called Dae Ichi. Solid. Right next to that, is a Korean restaurant called Young's, I believe. Try their Young's Special plate. They bring it out on 2 plates! Solid!
Mizuken - Garlic Chicken!! yum, yum, I can taste it now! Right around corner from Damien!
Obama, I was just gonna mention W&M. Don't know if they open late though. Also Azteca Mexican but it's a long walk up the hill next to Kim Chee. Even Happy Days dim sum is awesome too. As for Damien, yes, love Mexico Restaurant and Helena's. Had to wait 45 minutes to get into Helena's for lunch one time. bibbyboi, we'll be sure to check out Jimmy's next we visit the Big Isle. Sounds ono!
Just Google'd Jimmy's and saw a photo of the Ozen Special. Ho boy!!!
