Alohana Grill

One of my favorite places to eat in Berkeley is Alohana Grill. Ranks near the top. My criteria for favorite places to eat are reasonable prices for a reasonable amount of good food. If I can get something under eight bucks that tastes great and can give me food coma, then that is a great meal. It's not about having a good expensive meal at some fancy pants restaurant every once in a while. It's about whether I can go back there over and over again. When I'm hungry and wonder to myself, "Where can I get something great to eat for cheap," I'd be right to choose C) Alohana Grill.

I wish Alohana Grill was up in the North Ghetto so that I could eat it many times a week. Unfortunately it's all the way west on Shattuck so I only get it when I make my comic runs on Wednesdays. The rice bowls that they have are only five bucks. It's a ridiculously good deal. The BBQ Chicken and Curry Chicken Katsu are fantastic. The meat is so tender. Four hours later and I'm still full from the lunch I had there today. Man, I just looked at the Yelp reviews. Those whiners don't know what they're talking about.

dude, sometime in the future, we have to go to a fancy pants restaurant. we're going to get the whole deal. drinks, appetizers, multiple-course meal, dessert, wine, after-meal coffees. and with company...so it doesn't turn into a man-date.
