Hawai'i: Makino Chaya

Hello, buffet time! This time we're at Makino Chaya in Aloha Tower.
Only in Hawai'i do I enjoy buffets this much. I have yet to visit a buffet on the mainland...
Lots of sushi, lobster and steak to order. Hot crepes and mini cakes for dessert. It's gone downhill since my last visit (when they were still located on King Street), but so long as the ikura is still good, I am happy.

Hey Justin!

Oh man, the buffets in Hawai'i are amazing (compared to nyc hahah). Food is a lot fresher and you can feel like you can "trust" the buffet haha. Mmm love that molten cake...can't wait to see all their new products next week! :)
