Reviews
I’ve eaten here multiple times over the years and everything I’ve tried from the kalua pork to fried chicken has been amazing and consistently good. And the portions are huge and easily two meals at least.
I’m from South Louisiana, home of some of the best food in the world. And this dude throws down food as good as any Cajun grandma
So it’s been over a year since my review. Portion sizes are still large, food quality and flavor is amazing. Nolan (the owner) is always friendly with great service. My go to spot for Hawaiian food. The mochiko chicken is my go to and is always beautifully golden fried and pairs perfect with the Mac salad and rice. New tables in the food cart area make it handy to sit down and eat at
In the photo, this line is just overspill from where people are standing behind me and most people in their cars waiting.
If you want a Hawaiian/Local vibe this is gonna be it. You will have to WAIT, he is a one man operation. The portions and food is worth it though, I will not give anything lower than 5 stars for any of it due to the fact he is running a solo operation. Very very local style and feels just like Hawaii mom & pop shops.
You need to follow his instagram page to stay up to date with what’s on the menu, whether or not he will be operating to be honest.
If anything that was said in this review deters you, then don’t go.
Parking is easy there’s street parking, there’s a covered area to wait in front of the Mexican truck (yes he will have a literal massive line/queue either sitting in their cars waiting or in line or by the taco truck EVEN in pouring down rain)
All the food is good and it’s one of the ONLY places that you can go with actually good Lū’au (Lau Lau) which is pork/fish wrapped in taro leaves and then cooked/steamed in Ti leaves for hours. Everything is cooked to order from what I can tell so your plates are coming out HOT!
Prices are competitive and actually on the lower side compared to some “Hawaiian restaurants” but coming from Hawai’i island, I literally have stopped going ANYWHERE else, the only place I consider going for Hawaiian food if it’s not Iolani’s is Grind wit tryz
Will DEFINITELY be back to try other stuff on the menu. This was a random stop based off yelp reviews – you won’t be disappointed!
Located off 82nd, smaller parking lot.
