We went to DB Grill for an early dinner while on a road trip on a vacation to Hawaii.
It was the first full day of a
nine-day vacation, and so far, the day had sucked.
My wife and I met and got married in Hawaii
38 years ago when we lived on Oahu. This was our first trip back. Needless to
say, a lot has changed. The area where DB Grill is now was nothing but
sugarcane fields back then.
We thought about getting food at a fast-food
place in the same shopping center but decided to take a walk around and see
what else was there.
We tried to get a table at the
Japanese BBQ place nearby, but they told us it would be a two hour wait (they
didn’t seem that busy, but whatever).
The second place we went in seemed
very welcoming, but they did not open for about 45 minutes, so we checked with
the DB Grill.
Turned out to be a good deal.
We were seated right away. The menu
wasn’t too large, just seven appetizers and seven entrees. I didn’t feel like
plopping down $70 for the ribeye, I have no idea what crispy mandoo or Kona
Kampachi are, so I went with the DB chicken. The menu described it as “Mr.
Hong’s special recipe, whole Cornish hen, pickles.”

We also had some wings with gochujang,
honey and sesame. Very good, kind of messy and just a touch of heat.

One of the items on the menu that had
us a bit confused was the Pizza Fried Rice. It was listed as “PIZZA FRIED RICE
Ezzo pepperoni, spicy tomato, mozzarella.”
I wasn’t too sure what to make of this
one but noticed a lady at another table had ordered it. It looked interesting,
so I thought “why not.”

It was a little strange, fried rice
packed into a disk shape, with slices of pepperoni. I have to admit, it wasn’t
bad. The spicy tomato was nice, not too hot and the pepperoni was very good.
Oh, and by the way, the DB Chicken was
so good we ordered another to go.
