“My friend and I came to Pearlridge's village market which happens every Saturday night. Kealoha seafood is a truck towards the entry of the market. A lot of their dishes are deep fried, ranging from deep fried ahi to cheese burgers, but they have a focus on seafood (obviously by their name). We got the seared ahi plate with rice and shoyu ahi poke. This was INSANELY good. The ahi was more fried than seared, as there was a battered crust. The ahi was done to a medium, meaning that there were still a bit of raw ahi peaking through, which I LOVED and enjoyed a lot. The sauces (unagi and spicy mayo) drizzled on top was perfect and made every bite super flavorful. The shoyu ahu poke as a side was also a perfect pairing, it was soft and tasted fresh. Both my friend and I DEVORED this and enjoyed this a LOT. I would really recommend this specific item, but I'm sure their other dishes would be good too ( can't go wrong with fried).”

“Excellent all around! The barkeeps are friendly and easy going, though efficient and hard working - just like the working folks they serve. I haven't tried all the food on the menu but haven't been disappointed yet. Someday soon I'll start at the top of the menu and work my way down - try everything. Nice selection of food, not just burgers (yep, the burgers are super) so if you like a wide variety, you're in luck. The best part is the beers they serve here - and they're ice cold! I'll walk out of a bar that don't serve ice cold beer! BTW, the owner Tom actually works here full time and is a great guy. I highly recommend this place.”
“One night my friend and I were at Casey's, it was quite pleasant and we were enjoying the food and music. My friend had a polite disagreement with the waitress, the waitress 86'd my friend. No ability to discuss logically - just pulled the power ...I called the bar this evening and was told that their 86' status is a forever condition. I say management and owners need to take a look at this policy and their employee for a reasonable solution.”
