Side Street Inn

Having friends in town is always a good excuse to go out and eat. For CK and I, its always a good excuse to get to Side Street Inn. Renown amongst locals for years for having great food in a casual atmosphere, Side Street is the perfect place to meet up, have a few drinks, and sample some of the best local-style food around.

Kim Chee Tako Poke; Ahi Limu Poke

Spicy Chicken

I always get a kick from reading their menu describing the sauce as "our own mild spicy sauce." Uh, so which is it? Mild or Spicy? In actuality it is not that spicy at all and has a strong garlic flavor like Korean-style chicken.

Side Street Fried Rice

Pan-fried Island Pork Chops

See the glisten. Thats how you know its good!

"Pake style" sliders

Side Street's Chinese-style interpretation of the mini hamburger. One order comes with a steamed bun filled with cold ginger chicken, char siu, and roast pork.

Kalbi

You don't need to go to a Korean restaurant to find the best Kalbi in town. Thick cut and perfectly cooked.

I got put in charge of placing the order for 9 that night so we got basically double everything that you see here. Side Street has a pretty extensive menu, but every time we go we always order pretty much the same things you see here. (With the exception of the sliders which are a special that I didn't order). They are just too good to give up to try something else instead.
