Finally, some good news: This buzz-worthy Hawaiian food cart, which opened in September 2019 and which frequently attracts long lines for its Oahu-style cuisine, is celebrating the grand opening of its highly anticipated brick-and-mortar restaurant in the former space of the recently closed Bunk Alberta tomorrow. The spot is open for dine-in and takeout, and will offer live kanikapila (a style of impromptu Hawaiian music). The restaurant's menu will feature a rotation of popular specials from the cart, such as Hawaiian nachos, ono chicken, kalua pig, lechon kawaii, poke, loco moco, and chicken katsu, as well as tropical drinks like mai tai, lava flows, and "jungle juice."
