Ai Pono Cafe in Costa Mesa, CA
Since moving to California I have made it a point to try all of the amazing food around me. After being here three years and trying as many places as possible, Ai Pono cafe is hands down my favorite go to for fresh and authentic Hawaiian street food. The flavors are absolutely out of control and I have never disappointed some one by taking them there. The Guava Chili Chicken is probably the most unique tasting dish I have ever tried and the Hurricane Chicken comes with a Chili sauce that is so good I would drink it with a straw. The Home made macaroni salad is as fresh as it gets and their slaw and Kimchi are out of this world. It would be a mistake to miss out on trying the best Hawaiian food in California. You will not be disappointed.
