The restaurant serves a fusion of Japanese and Hawaiian cuisines, but other international dishes are also available. I decided to try the Hawaiian Chicken Basket for $9.95 while my buddy ordered the seafood pasta for $10.95.
A cheerful food staffer wearing a Hawaiian-inspired attire served us soup, salad and glasses of cold water with lemon
while waiting for our order. It took some time but it was their first day of operation and diners kept coming in.
Torches at the sides of the restaurant and the salty breeze from the sea added to the comfortable ambiance. A singer performed Hawaiian songs that kept the night alive without intruding into the relaxing atmosphere.
My Hawaiian Chicken Basket was served in a small basket — six pieces of deep fried chicken, marinated in grated garlic, ginger, and soy sauce. It was served with slices of crispy fried and flavored potatoes. My buddy’s seafood pasta was served on a huge platter — a heavenly dish of pasta in tomato basil, sautéed in garlic and sprinkled with shrimp, fish and fresh herbs, and a couple of slices of garlic bread.
Restaurant & Bar Five-O’s breakfast menu includes pancakes, fresh fruits, omelets, and Hawaiian coffee.
The lunch and dinner menu offers extensive selections of popular local meals such as the fisherman’s meal consisting of the catch of the day — steamed with mushroom or oyster sauce — pork afritada which is an assortment of pork meat and intestines served with rice and coco, kadun pika or boneless chicken thighs with hot pepper, beef tinaktak, which is beef with fresh coconut milk and served with rice and coco, or the Chamorro beef steak cooked in atchoti with vinegar.
