There’s something about a warm plate lunch on a rainy day — bringin’ a little island aloha with a stacked menu of local-style comfort food. 🍂🤙🏽

That Koshihikari rice, Tracee’s mac salad & plates built around protein bringin’ all the flavor.🔥 Crispy katsu, rich curry, savory gravies & fresh poke — something for just about every craving.

That’s the comfort of a good plate lunch. The many influences & family favorites finding their way onto one table, each plate with its own personality. Coming together over food, sharing plates, swapping stories & enjoying a little aloha around the table — that’s what it’s all about.

We’re keeping the grindz coming!🤙🏽 Come hang out, meet the crew, grab a drink from the bar & spend a little time with us on Alberta Street!
