I had gone into this Hawaiian BBQ place years ago and loved it. Went back to it recently and the menu was totally different, and the only thing truly Hawaiian BBQ was the spam musubi, which was also just super plain and basic. No sides with anything, there were no complete meals it was like a ala carte Chinese restaurant and the prices were through the roof.
I went to a new restaurant last week and did the same thing. $15 minimum menu price. Now, depending on the place that’s not outrageous, but this was a Vietnamese place that had things like pho. Nothing fancy. I just got up and left.
I’ll just say it’s the most expensive place I’ve been to in literally the same area. There are tons of other Viet places around there with cheaper prices. It’s not like it was WAY out there, but why would I pay 20-25% more when I can go one street over for the same food?
I obviously can’t compare taste since I didn’t get anything but they weren’t exactly screaming fancy either. About the same as every other place in the area. They are just newer.
I hate it when this happens.
Happened to a nice pizza place down home once, everything was different, the interior, the staff, the menu. Was basically a whole new place. Haven’t been back.

Normal pho price where I live is about $15-18. Banh mi is only like $7-9, at least.
