The kalua pig was too watery for me and lacked enough of the smokey taste I was expecting. I also ordered the Curry beef and I guess I missed the point because I thought it would be a beef curry stew. Instead it was the kalbi shortrib meat (boneless) in a dark curry sauce. Does Zippys serve things like this or is it a Lukoki invention? Oh well. We did try Onos in Half Moon Bay. Really excellant kalua pig and nice size portion.

I really liked it there. They give you big portions and the price was not so bad. Ive had the chicken katsu and bbq chicken and my boyfriend had the kalua pig and lau lau. All were really good! Jenn Posted: 1/9/2006 11:49:03 AM Kickin! Ill have to give it a try! I have to admit, though... Im really addicted to Ohana Grill. New place on Branham near Meridian. Some nights Ill take 101 south from Santa Clara... Mclaughlin is right on the way home! Thks!
