Frommer's Review
The "home of the 1-pound laulau" is quite the local hangout, a coffee/saimin shop with a few tables outdoors and a bustling business indoors. Taro and taro leaves from Waipio Valley are featured in the popular Hawaiian plate, but there are other local specialties as well: saimin, miso-saimin, taro-corned-beef hash, chicken yakitori, burgers, and the famous fried rice. The Kanak Atak is a 1-pound laulau and includes kalua pig, lomi salmon, pickled onions, haupia, rice, and poi, all for $17. Habitués make a beeline for the counter, where breakfast is served all day.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
