    BC Burrito in Kaimuki on Waialae Ave (old location of Eddie's Burgers)

    made to order burritos for around $6, served wrapped in foil with a plastic bag around it that allows you to eat it by hand without making a mess. good sized burrito made with fresh ingredients. i had a super burrito with carnitas, black beans, and tomatillo salsa, which was pretty good. apparently, BC Burrito is a small chain from Colorado. if you are in the area and are looking for a quick bite, they are worth checking out!

          Two new places have opened at the Remington College Building, Bishop Street, Downtown Honolulu:

          3 Star Catering - "Gourmet" plate lunch style food. Their crab cake sandwich is delicious!

          Holimoli's - Hawaiian/Samoan food including laulau, kalua pig, lomi salmon, poi and a poke bar. I had the lomi salmon & poi today -

            Pyramids on Kapahulu for Mediterranean food. Good lunch buffet and reasonably priced under $10 per person (the last time we were there). Save space for their rice pudding. Been going there for years whenever we get that far into town.

              right on! all good stuff.

              another new place i've tried recently is Fiesta's Mexican Grill in Ewa. I had a "Kitchen Sink Burrito" which was pretty good for $8.99. When you live in Ewa Beach, you tend to not want to venture out of Ewa at dinner time because of the traffic but there's not too many places to choose from so Fiesta's is a very welcome addition.....

                Not a restaurant but a definite must-try for chocolate lovers is Padovani's Chocolates at 151 Queen St between Alakea and Bishop which opened a couple of weeks ago. Philippe (from the recently closed Padovani's but that's a whole nother story) says they are making ultra-premium chocolates. One or two of these would brighten any chocolate fiend's day I think.

                    Yanni's (Greek/Mediterranean cuisine)
                    Restaurant Row

                    Went there last Fri. People were having a blast with the traditional dancing--plates/glasses being thrown, alcohol being lit on fire on the floor--the whole bit. It was later at night, so I only had drinks there, but the food coming out from the kitchen for other patrons looked quite enticing. I also liked the very large wood fire oven they have for pizzas and the like.

                    Link to the only article I can find on the place so far:

                      Did you see signage calling it Yanni's? I spoke with the owner a month or so ago and he said the place is called Dolce Ristorante but everyone I've heard from calls it Yanni's. Whatever it's called - it sounds like a happening place.

                        They've been advertising it in the newspaper as Yanni's. Perhaps they changed the name to distance it more from the previous restaurant (which was Italian?).

                              PK, list your favorite grinds and maybe we can get more specific.
                              Also where you're staying, oh wot, Palama? <LOL> Others may know good eats near your location.
