Lemongrass Café
The former home of Paradise Produce has been reborn as Lemongrass Café at the Pacific Gateway Center. This nonprofit is a touchstone for recent immigrants making their Hawaii transition. Within the Center is a culinary incubator which just opened a new café. Monday’s menu is Burmese, Tuesday’s Singaporean, Wednesday’s Laotian, Thursday’s Indonesian. Fridays are potluck–you might find any of these cuisines on the menu. Prices are very reasonable ($6 per plate lunch), and the menu looks ‘ono. This facility serves as a training ground for women who have culinary skills but need more experience to succeed in Hawaii’s job market—or to start new businesses as entrepreneurs.
Lemongrass Café at Pacific Gateway Center, 83 N. King Street M–F 11am–2pm, 851-7010
