Miss Subi

I get the spam and tamago musubi here every time and it's consistently delicious. Tried a few other musubis but I like the spam one the best. The rice bowl with huli huli chicken was also tasty.

I wasn't the biggest fan, but you should give it a shot and see these flavor combinations! We ordered a sampler of musubi along with the short ribs and got it delivered. Their musubi was a bit underwhelming. They did a great job decorating and making the food look nice, but when it comes down to taste, their food is dismal. I think that their first step to improvement would be to really think about how their flavors match with the rice - do people eat lemon on rice? do people prefer their spam to seared on the outside? do people care about extra garnishes like mint on their rice? They attempted some interesting flavor combinations, and overall, I feel like it didn't make the cut. Even the rice tasted pretty bad - including the rice along with the short ribs. In terms of the short ribs, they were quite innovative. Imagine chewing a piece of meat-flavored gum. That meat was incredibly tendonous and chewy. Might be good for those of you trying to diet... Overall, I feel like food from the islands should be filling, comforting, and simple. At Miss Subi, they attempted a spin on the usual that didn't sit too well with me.

It's hard to describe how great this place is, I have been there twice and this is the valentine day lunch. Notice the little details, tiny mint leaves on one piece, tobiko on another. Everything is fresh and pops with flavor. You can really tell they care about the food they put out. If this was a regular restaurant in Belmont there would be lines out the door every day.

Love musubi. Yum.
