If you catch yourself thinking, ‘I could make this at home,’ then please, do it. We’ll see you back here in 20 minutes after you’ve accepted the truth.
This place isn’t hard to find if you’re truly hungry and a little determined. It’s a no-frills shop with affordable prices, but what you really need here is patience—and it’s worth it. You can call ahead, grab something from the to-go station, or walk in like I did. Yes, there’s a wait, but I wasn’t in a rush. Good food deserves time.
I ordered the Big Breakfast ($13.25), a breakfast bowl ($10.95), two Spam musubi ($3.25 each), and a small bento ($7.45). And honestly? You can’t come here and order just one thing—not when everything looks this good and you’re this hungry.
This isn’t fast food. It’s comfort, made with care. Come patient. Leave full.

The folks running this place were amazing and my fiance loved the food!!! Great price for everything. Things were pretty picked over by 12:15 so go early! I’ve included a photo of the food from our hotel!

We only got the musubi which was very simple – just spam, rice and seaweed but man was that tasty. We had it heading to our cars and turned around to grab another two lol. It was much more flavorful than some others I’ve had during my trip.
This is a family owned restaurant and seemed to mainly be take out.

We grabbed breakfast from Oyako Tei, a small local Japanese takeout spot, and it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. The restaurant is takeout only, which worked perfectly for us since we were planning to eat on the go anyway. We kept it simple and ordered just a few spam musubi for breakfast, and the food easily exceeded our expectations—fresh, flavorful, and very satisfying.
That said, when you first walk in, the somewhat run-down condition of the restaurant is noticeable and could be off-putting at first glance, but it’s definitely a case of not judging a place by its appearance. The condition of the space didn’t seem to impact the quality of the food at all. We’d give Oyako Tei 4 out of 5 stars, deducting one star solely for the appearance of the restaurant, but we’d still recommend it without hesitation for the food itself.

The nice ladies at Oyako Tei are the best. We had ordered twenty some plate lunches for a meeting but had to cancel last minute due to mandated flight reductions (govt shutdown). They did not get upset with our cancellation nor charged us a cancel fee. We ordered from them again for our rescheduled meeting. Got a mix of yakitori chicken, terri beef, roast port & hamburger steaks. Portions are generous & all were delicious. Our meeting attendees actually commented how good the food was in their reviews. Note: this is a takeout only place, no seating on location.

Delicious homemade food made to order we got the fried rice special with spam and over easy eggs, large bento, and piggy breakfast. Their fried rice is sooo good, I really recommend it, the texture and flavor of the rice is perfect. Love that the large bento comes with three different types of meat, so refreshing and filling breakfast! Also ate a spam musubi while waiting for our order delicious

It doesn’t get any more local than this place.
ATMOSPHERE:
This mom & pop shop is located in what was once a Pizza Hut takeout spot..
MENU:
Breakfast bentos, local plate lunches & bentos, and catering.
FOOD:
Roast Pork
Upon first glace, I thought the dish was going to be too small to satisfy me, but it was sized perfect. The 3-4 slices of pork were tender and covered in a thin and savory brown gravy, and came with a big scoop of rice and lightly-pickled cabbage. I opted for macaroni salad as my side dish, which was very good, enough to garner a spot in my top 5 list. They mix in a little bit of diced white onions and carrots which even I could tolerate, and peas which I love. Affordable and tasty.
Cheeseburger Deluxe
Only in Hawaii do you see the word “deluxe” added to burger descriptions. This means you want the veggies included. The homemade patty was made with diced onions inside, and covered with 2 slices of provolone which was super tender but lacked flavor. Veggies were tomato, onions, and butter lettuce. The bun was nice and soft. I added just mayo at first which is how I usually like my burgers but that didn’t do it justice so I added on mustard & ketchup which made it a little better. Meh, I’d pass on this.
SERVICE:
Don’t expect traditional restaurant or hotel-like service. This is what I call Maui service, which isn’t a bad thing by any means. A friendly lady took my phoned in lunch order at 7am, which was ready in 15 minutes. As soon as I got there, one of the ladies yells out “Da roast poke ordah stay hea!” When it came time to pay, I hand her my credit card. She says “Wait yeah, I only get one line,” meaning someone was on the phone so the credit card machine was useless. About a minute goes by, and another employee yells “Hurry up she gotta use da credit card machine! She stay checking how many chickens get!” As I was laughing, I said that I could pay cash. She says “Oh das good!” Being that I like clean, crispy currency, I hand her a set of those. In amazement she says “Wow, look dis money, so nice and fresh off da press!” She waves the cash in the air and shouts to the workers “Look dis kine money, I neva see dis long time!!” Gotta love these ladies.
OVERALL:
Open early, friendly service, good local dishes.

By far the best and affordable breakfast we had on the island. The grannies and the aunties behind the counter make the food with love and you can taste it. The salmon donburi was filled with so much flavor making it the perfect light breakfast. Certain items might take a while so be patient and it’s not a place you can sit down and eat.

DELICIOUS and LOCAL!!
Food was so good, it was busy and a lot of people called and ordered a head so we waited a bit, now we know for next time. The people running the place put in a lot of love in the food! There’s no sit down just to-go and parking was in a little alleyway, overall very happy with the experience.
Ordered: fried rice special with egg over easy and Portuguese sausage!
