I mentioned finding out that Homestyle Hawaiian had opened a location on Midway during a recent visit to HH in Chula Vista.
I had a chance to check them out recently. It's in one of the numerous strip malls on Midway. This used to be the location of Jin's Grill.
This place is a fairly good sized space; the menu is basically the same as well.
I went with what I'd normally order; the Korean Chicken and Katsu with Gravy. Back home, Katsu is with Katsu sauce and Chicken Cutlet is Katsu served with gravy. I'm pretty sure I would have gotten a blank look if I ordered a combo Korean Chicken – Chicken Cutlet.
The Korean Chicken flavor was a bit on the weak side and perhaps was not marinated long enough? The katsu and gravy was nice, notice no breading falling off? It was also moist and the gravy (plus a dash of Tabasco) added layers of texture and flavor. I had one spoon of the mac salad which tasted a bit off…..a bit sour, so I decided to 86 that.
The portion size looked smaller than the CV and LV locations, but was still more than enough food for me.
I'm glad HH is doing well. Unlike many of the local "Hawaiian Barbecue" places, this isn't just a money grab. I'll probably return once I recover from all that rice and fried food.

Maybe get take out and bring it over to the new Pacific Islander brewery? Haven’t had a chance to get over there and sample their beers yet but based on their website/facebook, looks like an emphasis on PI themes.
plate lunch, will get my fill soon:)
Sounds great Ken! Cathy gave me a growler of the Double IPA from PIB this past weekend.
Hi Kat – I hope it fixes the craving!
Sounds great! Which location do you think has the best food? I’ve only been to the LV one.
Hi Soo – In recent years, I think the food at the CV location has been the best.
There is now a fourth location in Tierrasanta
Hi RCLC – Yeah, I know. Been there once already…..will get a post up one of these days.
