That was The Hungry Lion @ the ChunHoon shopping center , it’s a Walgreens now. Oxtail soup is perfect in the cold, now easier with instant pot!

this is the best recipe for oxtail soup. I used to go to the one in pauoa/liliha, has "lion" in the restaurant name and its in a little mall right past the place that makes fresh chinese noodles on liliha, but I cannot remember the full name. Tastes just like it. I have been living in Alaska now 20 years and this is my go to recipe around new years. If anyone knows the names I cannot remember, please tell me! aloha a hau'oli makahiki hou!!
