Going up in Hawaii. I can remember running home from school, eating siamin and watching Cheeckers and Pogo.

@Curtis45100 Год назад

Finally!! Thank Goodness! Why didn't I see this one before? Probably gonna take a little stroll down memory lane later today. Yum!!

@billandlisa Год назад

LOL!! You know we had to hit up Gardena Bowl. 🤣🤣🤣

@SacOrcas 2 года назад

YES!!!! Finally Gardena Bowl makes the big time on B&L's channel. I was a regular there in the early 90's and still make a stop each time I'm in SoCal. My grown kids love it too. That Portuguese sausage is da bes! Nothing has changed...not even the plates 🙂. Anyways, another great video. Thanks for all the local tips.

I owe the Gardena bowl to why I was born and for my family. My mom worked as a waitress because my great-grandpa was a cook, and grandma worked the register. On my Sicilian/Irish side, my nana worked in the bar and introduced my mom to my bio dad. I used to sleep on the barstools when she would open, and I would help serve water to tables when I wasn't running around and playing the arcade games.. My grandpa (adopted) was a longshoreman at the long beach docks, originally from Hawaii with no family here, and was a regular. When my babysitter would cancel, he asked my mom if she wanted help with me and my mom, being her, said sure, take him! We quickly adopted him into our family, and he took care of and raised me, my sister, and my brother. He was the most amazing man that ever was. Gardena bowl is an extraordinary place and not one to be missed.

Thanks for sharing such a touching story, toreysan. Gardena Bowl has such a rich connection with the community. We hope they'll be around for generations to come.

I'm surprised and impressed that King's makes their own noodles. One of the best noodle makers around has a factory in the LA area, Sun Noodle. They make all kinds of noodles, including ramen, saimin, soba, and Okinawan soba noodles. They also supply many, many ramen shops all across the U.S. But the really good thing is that some Asian markets also carry their noodles.

Oh my goodness!!! I used to hang out and eat at Gardena Bowl, back in the day. Thank you for the memories! 🥰 I have yet to try Auntie Maile’s. Both of your dishes that you had, looked delicious! I will definitely try it out soon. Of course, one can never go wrong with King’s Hawaiian. I love their oxtail soup with gohan. Thank you both for sharing all of these amazing places! I private messaged you both on Instagram, about the Mazesoba dish at Dashiwa Ramen in Arcadia. It’s a soupless ramen dish with up to 11 ingredients. The noodles are mochi mochi, and the toppings are charsiu, spicy minced pork, nori, green onion, garlic, onsen egg, katsuobushi, with chili oil and vinegar on the side. It’s truly an explosion of umami flavor. I truly believe that you would both LOVE this dish. I find myself craving it…. I truly hope you can try it one day. Thank you again for your amazing food adventures! ♥️

It all looks so good, but Kings Hawaiin is on my list for sure. Zippy's is my favorite local HI grindz. I like the one just outside Waikiki near the golf course. You got a very enthusiastic mention during Pompsie's Live stream from Las Vegas last night 1/13. a lady was talking to Pompsie and Greta about how nice and approachable you both are. She went on and on about you both.

@billandlisa 2 года назад

Don't think we visited that particular Zippy's. We highlighted a Zippy's on our last Hawaii vlog, always good eats. Oh nice on our shoutout on Pompsie's livestream! We haven't met Pompsie in person yet, hope to one day. Both him and Greta look like nice and approachable peeps.

The whole bowling alley aspect of this makes this extra cool/unique/interesting. My favorite local burger place (Boba Burger) is also in a bowling alley. They were able to survive Covid lockdowns bc they were in a bowling alley, thus their overhead costs were minimal.

Gardena Bowl and Auntie Maile’s is definitely the top 2 Hawaiian food spots in Gardena. Bob’s used to be good however they went downhill and closed I believe. Love the portion at Auntie Maile’s.

@MisterWub 2 года назад

Great review guys! I’ve eaten at each place except for Kings Hawaiian. Only had a banana cream pie for my birthday 2 years ago and it was fantastic! Their bakery is dangerously delicious! Gardena Bowl is around the corner from where I live. Saimin is good but my go to is the Hawaiian Royal which is highly addictive!

@billandlisa 2 года назад

We've had the Royal before, agreed, very delicious! And yes, can't go wrong with King's bakery items.

@chaka3084 2 года назад

Need to go to Maile’s and Gardena Bowl next time I visit Torrance. As a sidenote, back in the day, saimin (pronounce min like win) was usually eaten with a couple of bbq meat sticks. That was onolicious! Some of the mom and pop stands still serve that. Saimin is typically a curlier noodle with either a fish or shrimp dashi. If there isn’t char siu available, you can always have thin strips of spam. 😜🤙🏽

@billandlisa 2 года назад

For those who want to try "chinese mustard" it is just prepared dried colman's mustard powder you can purchase in most grocery stores.

@restaurantman 2 года назад

More accurately - Chinese Mustard is a variation which consists of Coleman's mustard powder, Chinese rice vinegar, and ground white pepper. My family owned a Chinese restaurant and each Saturday morning I made batches of this mustard for the following week.
