Everyone’s looking to save money and get the most bang for their buck. This series will show you where you can save while still savoring a good meal.
Last month, Don Quijote’s Kāheka store started offering $9.99 plates every Friday. The featured plates — mega-sized chicken katsu — were available every week from 3 p.m. until sold out.
This month, Don Quijote’s Pearl City store will start offering $9.99 plates on Thursdays, starting Oct. 8. The plates will be sold by the food court area, where seating is available for customers.

The Pearl City store’s first $9.99 plate will feature tonkatsu, according to delicatessen department manager Kota Kawahara.
“Everybody likes tonkatsu, but not everybody likes to cook it because of the smell and it can get hot inside (while you’re cooking),” he says. “We use fresh — not frozen — pork loin, and after we coat and fry it in panko, each plate is more than 1 pound.”
Each plate comes with white rice, cabbage and tonkatsu. Similar to Don Quijote Kāheka, the Pearl City store will continue this deal but will feature different entrees each month.
