Yes, I gave this place a four-star. And I am a fan :)

The Good
* BYOB b!tches! always a good thing to have 711 just next door to get your alcoholic drink to bring into the restaurant and they encourage you to do so too!
* Pasta is always good here. I especially like their eggplant spaghetti.
* I am a big fan of their saffron saucedddd risotto. yummm.
* Service was superb. I just ate here this weekend, and the gentleman was so nice. Very attentive, but didn't bother us too much like how some people do. He explained all the dishes I asked questions about. When he didn't know the answer he said the right thing... which was: I am not really sure, but if you will let me, I will ask our chef. *ding*ding*ding. THANK YOU for your honesty and politeness :)

The Bad
* The prices are a bit up there compared to the other cheap good eats around the McCully area

The Weird
* Almost all the workers here are Chinese *ding*ding*ding
* There was this lady that came in when I was eating. . . . . I think she enjoyed the "BYOB" a littttttleee.... too much....

Why does everyone think its worth it to wait at least an hour to get into this place?!

The Good
* Parking is never a problem!
* One of the more enjoyable places to eat a honey toast
* Bibimbap is pretty good
* Salads are good

The Bad
* The ridiculous waits to get in
* The ridiculous prices you pay for small portioned food
* I just REALLY hate waiting for a seat and my food! & it doesn't help that Shokudo is a place where people like to take their time and eat. It's definitely not an in-and-out kind of joint, which sucks to wait!

The Weird
* $10 for honey toast. Shit expensive for toasted bread and ice cream -- if you really think about it!

Wow this place is pretty good...
I originally wanted to go to Nisshodo Candy Store to get my share of Chichi Dango, but they close every year around Christmas holiday season..... because prob too busy for them to handle or something?

So I looked on yelp... and found this place highly rated..

The Good:
* Fresh fruity mochi... so yummy!!! I tried the Raspberry Mochi and Pineapple Mochi... omg... so wonderful. Just simply wonderful in my mouth!
* Different flavors of chichi dangos! Like haupia, chocolate, original...
* Convenient location.. in kalihi on the right side of waiakamilo if your are driving towards the harbor
* Private Parking Stalls

The Bad:
* About 6 parking stalls
* Cats laying under my car

The Weird:
