COATI

This place is super cool! We looked at all options for food and then decided to order the bulgogi fries, looks good, bulgogu sauce tasted good. The chef made it to order and I expected it to be hot but it was not hot at all - fries were at room temp, some were cold, same for the beef. I added cheese for 2 dollars so turned out the whole plate cost me 20 dollars plus some change - which was quite pricey. Will try something else next time.

Coati is an eclectic eatery that made popular from the concept of food hall. Whether you are a food ethusiasts or just want to feel the downtown's vibe, this would be the right place for you. We enjoyed the experience and the food. It reminds me of the street food scenes in Asia where everyone will go hunt for their food and back on the same table and dine together. The three elements -  Food, Friends and Environment are definitely the unifier for a place like this. We checked out three different vendors today, Hoale, Samich Shack, and Anju and thought they are quite right on for the type of cuisine they represent and pretty strong on seasoning and flavor.

Got the chicken katsu from Haole!! Literally so good! I have had authentic Hawaiian food and this stuff is not bad at all! The wait was a little long, but honestly they gave me a heads up the time frame it would be ready, so it wasn't bad. Plus the place was PACKED! so all in all, very tasty. 10/10 would eat here again!
