Restaurant: Little Island Grill

6383 Westheimer Rd.
Houston, TX 77057

Been quite busy lately. It was about four or five years ago that I went to Maui and had this super awesome amazing terrific terriyaki chicken burger. It was one of the best chicken burgers that I've ever had. I still think about it to this day. Since then, I always want to go to Hawaiian places to get my fix, but there's really no place in Houston that is even close to rivaling what I sampled in Maui. I've been to about three different places in Houston: Aloha Hawaiian BBQ in Katy, Aloha Grill on Westheimer outside the Beltway and Little Island Grill on Westheimer inside the Beltway. All were just okay. Nothing off the charts. Big poppa picked me up for lunch one day and we went to Little Island Grill to try it out. The food wasn't bad but it wasn't great. The macaroni salad was really creamy. Too much mayo maybe? In my book, there's no such thing as too much mayo but in this case, it was true. It wasn't THAT much but considering how it's supposed to taste like, it's too much. I made the mistake of ordering a chicken katsu sandwich. Don't order it. It's not that good. When I ordered my chicken katsu sandwich, the girl asked if I wanted white bread or wheat bread. Without an ounce of guilt, I told her I wanted white. She stopped writing and looked at me and was like, WHITE? Yes, white. I asked her if most people order wheat and she was like, yeah. Gee, thanks for making me feel bad that I prefer processed bread over wheat. But who am I kidding? I'm eating a battered chicken sandwich. It's not like wheat bread is gonna cancel that out. But I guess it would have better than nothing. Oh well. I thot that was weird of her to say that. I should have just stuck to a meat combo plate.Those are usually good. Big poppa had their grilled short ribs and some yakisoba. He felt they were both just ok. Neither of us were OMGawd so gut! I think I would go back if I were ever really feeling like some Hawaiianish food. I dunno. I keep trying to figure out if Aloha Grill was better. The one in Katy might be the best one. I'll have have to remind myself to stop by that one again whenever I'm in that area.
