Since Ms S has ongoing physical therapy sessions in the Atrium Building in Kaneohe, she's made two stops after her sessions at Uncle Glenn's Hawaiian Food. Uncle Glenn's has a catering business and also does special events but they first started at the weekly Farmer's Markets at Windward Mall. However, once the Waiahole Poi Factory opened a 2nd location at the Mall Food Court, they weren't allowed to set up a stand atthe Farmer's Market so they eventually found a space in the Atrium Building about a block away from Windward Mall - I believe it was the original space for Cafe Kalawe. The only catch is that they are only open on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 10am to 4pm. Our first sampling was the Da Push-It Special ($13.00) with squid luau, chicken long rice, kalua pig, lomi salmon and rice... the squid luau is on the sweeter side and the kalua pig is leaner and nothing is too salty...
And the Hash Katsu Moco Plate ($14.00) with a breaded then fried corned beef hash patty served with rice, corn, 2 eggs and gravy with sauteed mushrooms and onions... the corned beef hash looks like the homemade variety, not canned since there are larger chunks of corned beef...
Then she returned just 2 days later for specials only available on Wednesdays like the 2 Choice Poke Bowl ($10.00) with both spicy and shoyu ahi poke... with spicy ahi, restaurants can use the pre-frozen, gassed ahi as the spicy mayonnaise can cover the flavor but you can't cover up frozen, gassed fish with shoyu ahi poke and this tasted like fresh ahi...
And the Kalua Pig and Laulau Combo ($9.00) with both pork belly and pork shoulder plus salted butterfish (which most places omit due to the cost) in the laulau...
The prices are about as cheap as Hawaiian food gets in the 50th, the flavors spot on and the portions good despite the low cost so even when Ms S completes her physical therapy sessions, we plan on making regular stops at Uncle Glenn's Hawaiian Food...
