Chef's Island Express

UPDATED: Listen- I love this place but it is one of the most frustrating establishments. Food is great usually but there's always this looming "cutting corners" vibe. I dined in about 2 weeks ago and I order the aloha plate bc that is easily 2 lunches. No issues on this visit- everything was great. I grabbed a to-go order yesterday, thinking heck yeah food for tonight and a lunch for tomorrow. NOPE. To me, this does not equate to a nearly $20 meal. I had to double take bc there was no way this was the same thing I consistently order. Small container,mostly rice. Pretty disappointing. Update: I did give an additional star as I truly believe my review was acknowledged and taken into account. I was advised to reach out via Fb and I quickly got a resolution. I went in, no questions asked besides my order, and had a discussion with the store manager. Very kind, very understanding. I am appreciative of the service I received as it was more than expected. Again, thank you for the hospitality, wishing the best, and I'll be back.

We had an amazing meal. Dustin was extremely friendly. He explained everything on the menu and was very welcoming. Checked on us a couple times to make sure we had everything we needed. Portion size was more than enough. We get to enjoy the food again for lunch tomorrow. We will definitely be back!

We were fans of the old Zeke’s downtown, but hadn’t been to this newer location at Locust and Kimberly. To our delight, while the ownership and name have changed, it is run by one of Zeke’s chefs, Dustin, and my huli huli chicken was the same as I remembered it from years past — freaking delicious. The mac salad was exactly the same as well. I’m so glad that they have kept Zeke’s culinary magic intact. This is one of a few places where i will sit there in discomfort and continue forcing it down, even when i’m full and my gut wants me to stop. That’s how much I love that huli huli chicken, heat level at 7, with a side of sour cream to balance it out.
