Description

CLOSED Ignore the boilerplate California Cuisine proteins and pastas here - the house restaurant for Sundance Kabuki Cinema - and seek out the Hawaiian dishes, which prove that the traditional plate lunch doesn't have to be a sprawling aggregate of starches. Manager Pat Da Silva used to have her own place in nearby Buchanan Mall in J-Town, where she presided over some of the tastiest grinds (Hawaiian for "eats") you're likely to find. Island classics like loco moco, Spam musubi, and kalua pork have noticeable luster; so do the selections from the poke bar. The setting is weird, frankly, what with large video screens that update the status of the films screening next door, so you can bolt in time to make the opening credits. Think of it as a small price to pay for food this vivid.
