AHI's menu stretches well beyond the BBQ in the name — chicken katsu, short ribs, BBQ beef, mahi mahi, crispy shrimp, and musubi all share space on one generous list. There's genuinely a lot to work through, and most guests keep coming back to try what they missed.

The musubi sampler is one of those menu items that quietly becomes a regular order — a simple, satisfying way to try several Hawaiian-style favorites in a single tray.
