Jurison's Inn
Today, I decided to take a trip out to the Waikele Premium Outlets. Its the only outlet mall that we have here in Hawaii and has a pretty good selection of shops. Since it's a little out of the way, I brought a friend along who doesn't normally drive out this way. Needing some fuel before the shopping frenzy, we decided to have lunch at Jurison's Inn.
It was a little late for lunch, about 2:00 pm, so the shop wasn't crowded at all, which was actually very good because I was hungry!
I decided to have the crispy garlic chicken and mahi mahi combination plate (US$6.15).
The pieces of chicken were cut into bite-sized pieces and friend until golden brown and crispy. They had a slight hint of garlic and were quite tasty. The sauce towards the back of the plate was used for dipping and added a bit of spicy flavor. The mahi mahi was breaded and deep-fried, pretty standard fare if you ask me. I liked the fact that this wasn't coated in tons of batter. As an added bonus, the food here was not greasy. To round out the plate were two scoops of rice, one scoop of macaroni salad (good!), some sukju namul (mung bean sprouts) and some whole kernel corn.
My friend had the hibachi tofu and teri-chicken combination plate (US$6.15).
For this plate, the tofu (bean curd) "steaks" were marinated then grilled on a hibachi (well, maybe it was on the grill in the back) for that smokey, slightly charred effect. It was served topped with a little sauce (don't know what kind it was though). The teri-chicken (short for teriyaki) was quite good, although not as good as the tofu. The plate was served with the same sides as listed above.
After this meal, I was ready to shop. The food was delicious and well worth the price. In fact, considering the size of the portions, it could practically be considered a bargain. I guess that's why everytime I visit Waikele, I end up eating here.

Hi Santos,
Mmmmm carbs is right! All of us here in Hawaii eat way too many carbs. Perhaps we should try to pursue the Atkins diet plan. LOL! The hibachi tofu is actually very good, I've eaten it here many times.
BTW, how did your family's home stand up to the typhoon? Was there a lot of damage?

Hi Santos,
Again? Sheesh! I would be sick of it too! At least everyone is OK. =)

Wow, that is some interesting looking mac salad! Definitely not the typical looking platelunch macsalad. What did it taste like?

Hi Mr Me,
Nice to see you again. It's a bit hard to describe the taste of the mac salad, but it was really good. Not too much mayo, maybe a little dry mustard? It was definitely better than the mac salad at most other places (similar to the mac salad at You Hungry?).

Hi David,
Thanks for the visit to my blog.
Unfortunately, I'm not Mr. Jurison and no, I don't they will ship to the states. You'll just have to come and visit to get your fix.

Hi Kenneth,
Welcome to the blog!
Really? What do you think of the food? I just ate there a couple weeks ago!

hey Reid,
well the food is okay. Lately, customers were complaining about the price of food. certain plates alone will run you close to 10 dollars. I just recently stopped working there. But, before i left we would have a lot of regular customers whom i havent seen in months that said it was too expensive now. The food is okay though, but i think you could get the same quality, better price, and more food at Mililani resturaunt. Just be careful though because i heard they were really rude.
