C
staff, are brainstorming and cooking up the latest and greatest in fine-dining plate lunches. “We have recently added a few new specials to our menu,” Iwata says. “They’re pretty unique and people can keep up with our specials by visiting our Website kahaistreetkitchen.com, where we post new specials every morning,” he adds.
So, what are these alluring entrees that Iwata speaks of? Well, if you savor your seafood, you’ll surely love Kahai’s Opakapaka Acqua Pazza and the Crab Stuffed Calamari. And why not sink your teeth into the Prosciutto Wrapped Meatball Bomb? “We will feature these three dishes over the course of the week,” Iwata explains, noting that each entrée is served with your choice of white or brown rice and potato-mac or tossed salad. And while the daily specials will always keep you on your toes, Kahai Street Kitchen also offers a permanent menu that features all your local favorites when it comes to comfort food, such as the Loco Moco, Pork Chops and Kahai’s famous Hamburger Steak.
