Carrollton may not have Hawaii's natural beauty, but they've got a new restaurant that nails the Hawaiian lunch plate.
Several years ago, I made my first visit to Hawaii. We stepped off the plane in Honolulu, got our rental car and beelined it out of the city and up the coast towards Kailua. We stopped at a roadside shack for some lunch, and I got a quintessential local meal: the Hawaiian plate. There's usually a protein , macaroni salad and rice, all piled high into a plastic container. I ate a lot of great food on that trip, but the Hawaiian plate sticks with me every time I think of Hawaiian fare.
Turns out, that's exactly what Bonee and his team were aiming for. He opened Teriyaki 4 U a few weeks ago in northwest Carrollton. Opening an Asian spot just north of Carrollton's cornucopia of Asian restaurants and markets on Old Denton Road seems bold, but according to Bonee, he found a real gap in places that serve food as you'd find in the Aloha State.
For a fast-casual spot with a heavy takeout focus, it's easy to see the elevated techniques that Bonee and his team bring to Teriyaki 4 U. Perhaps it's because Bonee has experience at both ends of the service spectrum, from his time at Flora Street Cafe to his latest work at At Teriyaki 4 U, everything is made from scratch, while a charcoal grill imbues the proteins with a flavor that can't be matched by other cooking methods.
There's no Kahlua pork available, but as we dug into the spicy teriyaki chicken , the flashbacks to Hawaii kicked into high gear. The strips of chicken are perfectly grilled, and the spicy teriyaki sauce comes in a cup on the side so you can add as little or as much as you like. The sauce wasn't burn-your-mouth spicy, but it did provide a subtle hint of zing. Before any spicy heat gets out of hand, forkfuls of the crunchy slaw or the creamy macaroni salad step in to cool things down.
