Dawn's Birthday Dinner #2 05-13-2020

Last night Dawn wanted dinner from Hana Sushi in Hawaii Kai.

We used to go there every once in a while but haven't been there in months.

 

Dora loves their Spicy Ahi Don, it comes with miso soup.

 

The Spicy Ahi don has a thin layer of tempura flakes that adds a nice crunch!

 

I love the Saba and we all like the Onion Salmon!

 

We tried the Spider Roll(soft shell crab) for the first time - was good

 

This was the Bomb!  Spicy Ahi on Crispy rice!!!

 

Dawn loves her Udon!

 

The broth is really good!

 

Happy Birthday Dawn!

No surf for me today, I needed to take Yuki to the Vet this morning.

Yuki was not himself all day and seemed to be in pain, yelping from time to time. 

I hate to see him like that, too bad dogs can't talk and tell us what's wrong.

 

Before the vet, I stopped by Max and Lucy's to get breakfast for the beach gang.

 

Mahalo again Mike - sorry same picture from last time, next time I'll take a new one.

 

Mahalo Miles who paid for the breakfasts, I got the desserts and Mike gave us the Chili!

Support Local!

 

Pray for Yuki!
