“Elevated plate lunch” said my friend. He wasn’t wrong!
I had the miso butterfish and absolutely devoured it. It was so goooood!
My bestie got the Mochiko Chicken, she said it was okay.

I loved the flaked salmon. I would definitely go there again to try something different.

The Pioneer Saloon at SALT in Kakaako offers delicious plate lunches like Furikake Mahimahi and Teri chicken, along with well-chosen beer options at affordable prices. The Japanese-style croquettes, especially the meat/potato ones that are authentic to those found in Japan, are a must-try. The casual atmosphere might not be fancy, but the food quality and customer service are top-notch. The Mochiko chicken is juicy with large pieces, served with a side salad, rice, and spicy mayo. Popular dishes also include the Ebi burger and chili tomato fried chicken. Fries are available for an extra $4 but are worth it for their tastiness and crispiness. Parking can be ample unless there are events, and street parking is also available. Customers praise the food, mentioning the perfect portion sizes and the hot, quickly served dishes. Many note that the Japanese potato salad is unique and delicious, and leftovers are often enjoyed later. The location is favored for having more items on the menu, including chicken nanban—one of the favorite dishes for takeout or dine-in. It is a small, unassuming spot that may lack air conditioning during hot summer days, but the friendly staff and fresh, flavorful food make it a great choice for a satisfying meal with good vibes.
