5-Star Take out on Diamond Head; How Kelvin Ro Has Developed a First Rate Take Out Venue Called Diamond Head Market and Grill (Journeys of the Mind - recorded on 4/15/2025). The host for this show was Carl Ackerman. The guest was Kevin Ro.
The discussion was: If one wanders up or down Monsarrat Avenue on Diamond Head one will come across a take-out venue that attracts everyone from surfers, tourists to Hawaii governors. To discover what makes this 5 star take out tick, we need to question the owner and visionary Kelvin Ro. We will discuss what goes into the scrumptious teriyaki chicken plate, or the more than tasty Mushroom Burger; how does he make all the salads so delicious, and how does he make the rice comparable to even the most expensive Japanese restaurants on Oahu. Where does he his kind employees, his supplies and how does he make that delicious and ever so popular cream cheese blueberry scone?
The takeaway was: All in Hawaii will be exposed to a 5 star restaurant that is home to locals, but also to tourists from around the world. We will a bit closer to understanding what success means in terms of take-out food.
