HAWAI'I'S KITCHEN ON THE
ROAD IN AIEA SHOPPING CENTER AND
ONE OF THE HOT SPOTS NO DOUBT
HAS TO BE AIEA BOWL AND THE
RESTAURANT, VERY POPULAR ALLEY
SO WE HAVE A CHANCE TO CHECK IN
WITH THE OWNER AND MANAGER GLENN
UYEDA.
NICE TO SEE YOU, GLENN, AND
YOU'VE GOT A BIG SPREAD TOE
TABLE.
WE DO.
TAKE-OUT'S BEEN REAL DIFFICULT
IN THIS TIME BUT WE'RE HANGING
IN THERE AND WE'RE HAPPY WE HAVE
TELL ME ABOUT SOME OF YOUR
FAVORITES.
I KNOW THE DESSERTS ARE BIG, BUT
TASTY CHICKEN NUMBER ONE.
THIS IS A COMBINATION MIXED
PLATE AND KALBI WITH BROWN RICE
AND MAC SALAD.
I THINK THIS IS OUR MOST POPULAR
PLATE AND THEN TASTY CHICKEN BY
ITSELF IS VERY POPULAR.
AGAIN HAPA RICE AND IT COMES
WITH OUR TOSSED SALAD AND OUR
HOUSE DRESSING.
THAT'S ANOTHER GREAT PLATE.
ALL THESE ARE ALL TAKE-OUT RIGHT
NOW SINCE WE'RE IN COVID TIME
AND TAKEOUT BUT EVERYTHING'S
PACKAGED TAKEOUT AND WE HAVE OX
TAIL SOUP, ANOTHER BIG ONE FOR
US.
I HAVE A SWEET TOOTH SO GIVE
US OUR BEST CREATIONS THAT ARE
JUST DOING SO WELL?
NUMBER ONE SELLER IS LEMON
CRUNCH CAKE.
WE HAVE STRAWBERRY CRUNCH RIGHT
HERE, ANOTHER FAVORITE OF
EVERYBODY.
THIS IS STRAWBERRY SLICE AND
I'LL DO A LITTLE TURN FOR YOU TO
SEE IT.
STRAWBERRY CRUNCH.
WE HAVE PUMPKIN CRUNCH AND
CHOCOLATE MAMA MIA, OUR FAVORITE
CAKES RIGHT NOW.
WE KNOW EVERYONE'S BEEN
AFFECTED BY THE LOCKDOWN, THE
SHUT DOWN, ETC.
WHAT ARE YOUR CURRENT HOURS OF
OPERATION.
WE'VE BEEN OPEN SEVEN DAYS A
WEEK, 10:00 A.M. TO 9:00 P.M.
AND IT'S BEEN REALLY BUSY AT
10:00 WE'RE SO BUSY WITH THE
2:00.
IT SLOWS DOWN A LITTLE BIT AND
DINNER IS ANOTHER GREAT RUSH FOR
US.
WITHOUT TAKEOUT WE WOULDN'T BE
HERE.
WE WOULD HAVE TO CLOSE.
WE'RE REALLY FORTUNATE TO HAVE
TAKEOUT RUNNING.
WHAT DO YOU WANT OUR "LIVING
808" VIEWERS TO KNOW ABOUT THE
ALLEY AND THE AIEA BOWL AND WHAT
WE CAN DO RIGHT NOW TO HELP
SUPPORT YOU.
WELL, WE'RE VERY FORTUNATE TO
HAVE A GREAT LANDLORD HELP US
OUT THROUGH THIS TIME.
WE'RE FORTUNATE WITH ALL OF OUR
SUPPLIERS TO KEEP US GOING WITH
THE QUALITY FOOD THAT WE HAVE.
I WANT TO TELL YOU OUR
EMPLOYEES, OUR ASSOCIATES
WORKING SINCE MARCH THROUGH NOW
WITH JUST FABULOUS.
THEY ARE CLEAN, THEY ARE KEEPING
THINGS GOING, TRYING TO KEEP A
SMILE ON THEIR FACE WHEN I KNOW
IT'S HARD AT HOME AS WELL AS
HERE.
SO THANKING ALL OUR CUSTOMERS,
THANKING EVERYBODY THAT COMES TO
AIEA BOWL AND SUPPORT US TO KEEP
US GOING SO WE COULD BE HERE
TOMORROW AND THE NEXT DAY AND
MAYBE NEXT YEAR.
WE DON'T KNOW WHERE THE FUTURE
HOLDS FOR US BUT WE'RE
DEFINITELY TRYING HARD NOW TO
STAY AFLOAT.
JUST WRAP ALL THOSE UP, WE'LL
-PL COULD, WE'LL GET TAKEOUT,
THAT LOOKS FANTASTIC.
THAT I GO SEE FOR ALLOWING US TO
COME AND SEE WHAT YOU'RE

OH, MAN, YOU ALMOST FORGET

LOCALLY AS IT IS BUT THE ALLEY
RESTAURANT IN THERE, THEIR
DISHES, I MEAN IT'S FINE DINING.
IT'S DELICIOUS AND THE DESSERTS,

CULT FAVORITE.

AND WENT IN THERE TO SUPPORT AND
OF COURSE TO FEED MY FACE.
