Island Style Cafe

I remember the summer trips to Hawaii.  Lovely clear skies and white sand beaches.  Hawaiian plate lunches and shaved ice for dessert closed out many wonderful days.  San Diego has a good number of spots to get a plate lunch and shaved ice.  Island Style Cafe is one of my favorite.


Fried rice had a nice mild flavor with bursts of flavor from the bacon bits.  My favorite fried rice from a Hawaiian place.  Kalbi was tender, juicy, and had a delicious mix of flavors from the marinade.  A little bit sweet and lots of soy sauce, green onion, and sesame oil flavor.  Island Style Cafe is my Hawaiian fav spot to get kalbi.


2nd visit.I ordered a  Kalbi Grilled Mix plate.  Teriyaki beef was tender and had a sweet beefy flavor.   Bbq chicken had a sweet and smoky flavor.  Chicken was tender and juicy.  Kalbi was tender and had delicious flavor.

 


I’m glad Island Style Cafe is still open for takeout.

 

Owner told me they would be opening for dine in soon.  Kirk of mmm-yoso!!! visited recently too.
