Ohana Hawaiian BBQ
20141208:
Today I got BBQ chicken and some musubi.
All these chicken slices have some skin on them and have an almost perfect amount of fat, possibly edging on too much.
This Spam musubi tastes much better than the spam musubi I had from Lee's Deli (Berkeley). 9:11PM PT
20141209:
I went back today and got the BBQ short ribs. Unfortunately, they were overly salty and possibly overcooked, because the non-muscle linings on the inside and edges were too hard (I'm not sure if that's fat, tendon, or what). Further indication of overcooking is a charred flavor on the bones. 7:09PM PT

BBQ Pork. Spam Musubi.
On the drive home, the smell of the Spam musubi filled my car and smelt so good. The smell of the BBQ pork filled my room when I opened the container. In any case, the BBQ pork was tasty, though there was an insufficient amount of rice. 6:41PM PT
20150131:
Today I ordered a Spam burger and the Hawaiian BBQ Mix. I had the Spam burger first and it was pretty good. I did, however, dislike the sunny side up egg whites. On the other hand, the raw onion wasn't excessively strong and contributed a nice flavor.
Taking a while to get home, the fries got a bit cold and regardless they were a bit oily.
As a note of interest, the last time I had fries was at Lee's Deli in Berkeley, another Hawaiian restaurant. 8:10PM PT

Ohana Seafood Combo: Fried Shrimp, Island Fish, and BBQ Chicken (BBQ Item). Spam Musubi.
The seaweed wrap on the musubi was damp and didn't tear easily. The fried shrimp in the seafood combo was fried to the point that it was extra crisp and I couldn't taste any shrimp. Fortunately, the fish tasted delicious. 6:43PM PT
20150316:
Yesterday (20150315) I had the grilled chicken musubi for the first time. I love the grilled chicken here at Ohana. The chicken musubi serves as a great snack.
Today (20150316) I got the fried island fish. While I was thinking about getting the seafood combo, I remembered the disappointing shrimp from before (20150205).
20150409:
On 20150316 I have a note for fried island fish, but no picture. Today I have a picture of fried island fish, but no note. Put two and two together and what do you get? Four! Voila!

Today I ordered the exact same thing I got on 20150205 (Ohana Seafood Combo w/ BBQ Chicken and a Spam Musubi).
While the Spam musubi has been good in the past, today the slices were about half as thick and it was upsetting. 8:32PM PT

20150822:
Today I ordered beef saiman for the first time. As far as I could tell, it was ramen with a bitter vegetable, beef, and very hot (high temperature) broth.
Impatient and full (I also ordered a rice dish), I closed the container and ate it later when it was cold. Yum, the noodles and vegetables soaked up all the sodium.

| Visually you can kind of tell the Spam is cut thinner. But it's even more clear when you bite into it. (20150630) |
