Da Kine's Plate Lunches

"To us, this looked like an Hawaiian trompe l'oeil: spam and rice wrapped in seaweed to resemble sushi. In fact, an eagle-eyed Roadfood user named Malia wrote to tell us that it is the popular Hawaiian dish known as Spam musubi."

"Teriyaki chicken and beef plus kalua pig were all included on this sampler meal we toted back from the service line."
Michael Stern



"A picnic table, a paper plate, and the San Diego sun all add to the goodness of this excellent crisp-cooked mahi-mahi."
Michael Stern



"Earthy kalua pig is here teamed up with a rich and hearty loco moco (burger and brown gravy with a fried egg on top). Scoops of rice and macaroni salad are the traditional accompaniments."

"Service at Da Kine's is do-it-yourself. Study this menu on the wall, place your order and pay, then carry your food to a table on the patio or indoors. "
Michael Stern



"Low prices, honest food, and a breezy attitude make Da Kine's an estimable Roadfood destination."
