Nelson is a San Diego legend. There's a reason he has a loyal fanbase willing follow him wherever he goes. Best Hawaiian plate lunch anywhere, bar none. Love you, Uncle!
Nelson! Know him since I was 15! Gave me my first job when it was in PB.. fun times in the early 2000’s !! Me and some of my family members loved working at Da Kines!! Favorite memory was during the summer when MTV came for their beach house show! And the cast of Real World Hawaii came in 🤙🏽 Love you Nelson! So glad your back in business in my beautiful community of La Mesa, Ca 🌴☀️🤙🏽🍙
Great to see a humble friendly hardworking person. Not only does he make great food he takes care of his workers and community! Amazing keep up the outstanding work 😅
Aloha Jay!! Man all those portions look big and I'm a sucker for some good Kalbi and Chicken Katsu. Everything looked good and the owner is down to earth. I'll check out this place when I visit San Diego in the future. 🤙👍😋 Mahalo for sharing.
"I'm on a diet," that's funny, Nelson 😁 Aww I love hearing your stories. The food is made from scratch and delicious. Nelson puts a lot of heart into what he serves. I recommend Da Kine's to anyone.
What’s cool is Uncle Nelson worked at Zippys. Now I KNOW he’s cookin good food cuz Zips is so ONO! That’s a feather in his cap not to mention all the other great positions he secured in the food industry at the various locations. I’m gonna have to try this place ..I’m from Hawaii and miss our local food!
OMGosh! Da Kine’s NEW to me.🥰 Next time I’m back home visiting, gna have to checkout Da Kine’s in La Mesa n put this delicious ribeye plate on my top priority things to do list.😍Ty for sharing.😊Thoroughly enjoyed it.💕❤️Aloha n mahalo nui loa!
Bruh! I'm glad Da Kine's is back. We used to ride our motos down to the PB spot and eat outside in the patio. I miss that spot. The spot in Nasty City was good but deep in the hood.
Omg now I want to make so loco moco...I've been making it at home and it's become a staple in our house since there is no real good hawaiian places here where I live. Thanks for the great content and can't wait for more of your San Diego vids..
Hi Jay, Thanks for sharing those tasty Hawaiian lunch plates at Da Kine's. If I'm ever in San Diego, I will have to try the Teriyaki Ribeye plate. Great video.
I used to eat at the old PB and National City restaurants, always a free side of kim-chee with your meals. Gotta try the new La Mesa location, have missed Da Kines...
I miss those food and Da Kine restaurant. I used to frequent the place for lunch when it was in Linda Vista until it closed. Definitely be going to La Mesa restaurant soon.🤙
Oh I am totally adding them as my regulars. I am glad I moved to San Diego.❤ It is mush ball of food love. 😂 I am so grateful to try different cuisines first time. No way, getting Hawaiian food in Istanbul.
@@Jaycation Food was good but you got to remember that was the only Hawaiian food around then until L&L came to SD. Don’t count the Hawaiian festival in Seaport Village there’s a lot of food in there too but once a year.
im so going bro. I heard of him but thought he retired. My cuz lives in east side oahu Kaneohe. Thanks for the tip. I tell uncle you sent me for da 1997 special hahha aloha bro bro.
Best Hawaiian food in town. Uncle Nelson has gone through a lot with all his businesses, please support him
I agree! Great local ono grindz!
I remember the PB location! Glad to hear that Da Kines survived the pandemic. ❤
He made a comeback!
