My parents worked with Uncle Bruce & Aunty Maile back in Kona, many years ago... They were the ORIGINAL owners or Island Flavor in Las Vegas (Durango). I wish they never left the 9th Island but I'm glad to see them doing well in SoCal!

Aloha Bill and Lisa: It was nice seeing you both enjoy some dishes that I enjoyed when I grew-up in Hawaii. That sweet and sour spare rib, kalbi and roast pork brought back a lot of great memories. Great that you found another great Hawaiian-inspired dining establishment in SoCal. Hope you have another “yummy” adventure soon. Stay dry, and safe, during the rainy weather! Best wishes and Kung Hee Faat Choy! 🧧 Much aloha and 🤙!

But it's all the up in the heart of Torrance and it's quite a ways out from the freeway. I will check out this place since its not too far from the freeway exit. Thank you.

Anyone remember in Torrance on redondo beach blvd next to the target there used to be a place called Maui chicken?
