Love this place! We have a wonderful server for brunch! He memorizes our order without writing it down, he is so personable that it brightens our morning, and always gets our order right! The boneless kalbi melts in your mouth, the fried rice is so Ono! The Ani's French toast is yummy! The only thing is my friend tried the Kim chee fried rice and was disappointed because it was sweet! So she did not eat it. But I gave Big City 5 stars because I love their breakfast and...

The food and service had always been great. Visited with owner Lane Muraoka who was assisting staff this Sunday. Very personable and attentive. Always great food. Their Chili is so homemade and wonderful without thick gooey additives. I had the Taco salad, always a great choice.

I had the salad n sandwich combo! A turkey and cranberry sandwich!! With a fresh salad. It was perfect!! My friend had a portobello sandwich n fries. Her sandwich was delicious too. But the last time she had that sandwich the mushroom was bigger than the bun. This time it was smaller than the bun? Our server was "on it!" (Sorry didn't get his name) Will go back
Parking: The kaimuki location sucks!! I went to the machine to pay for my parking. No problem....
