The menu of this local-style eatery is already impressive on their own.

The garlic chicken gives Mitsu-ken a run for its money, with clean cuts of chicken morsels coated in a well developed batter, fried to perfection in fresh oil and coated with the perfect garlic sauce, just hinting of sweet chili.

The chili hot dog plate is a combination of juicy Lil’ Smokies smothered in a rich homemade chili, smothered yet again in cheese and onions, if you like.

The moist roast pork with mushrooms accompanied by mashed potatoes and potato-mac salad weighs three pounds. Add a ridiculous number of quality rotating daily specials, ranging from New York steak to furikake chicken (all massive and usually under $8).

We check it out this morning in down town on the KHON Morning Show
