A must when I visit Oahu. I typically visit Oahu once a year and each time, I make sure to stop by Olena’s for some delicious foods and desserts. The banh mi and fries are delicious and made to order. Their banana bread is so good, my friends and I order it frozen to bring back to California with us. I personally love their brownies and Filipino lemonade.
Besides the food, the customer service is above all others. Rose is always so friendly and kind. She remembers us even though we only visit once a year. Definitely a place I recommend to anyone visiting Oahu!

We came for Chinese New year and had the new year’s bento box. DELISH! It had pork belly brisket over pancit, prime brisket over olena rice, lumpias and a brownie dessert. It was all so good but I think my favorite was the melt in your mouth pork belly. We usually get the soba noodles and the lemongrass bahn mi. Today we got the special treat.

Rose and her team are an excellent group of people! We come once a year and Rose remembers who you are and takes the time to get to know you. Their food is excellent and order goods to bring back to the Mainland all the time!

The service was amazing!!! The moment we walked in, we were greeted with happiness. The love she showed towards the customers were unmatched. I would love to revisit this spot if I had a chance to and would recommend it! It is a little hard to find as it is inside dole cannery but it is worth the visit.

6 stars if we could! Came here with my daughters during our vacation and everything we ordered was amazing. The lady working was so enthusiastic and the nicest. We had filipino lemonade and mango passion tea for drinks and those were perfect too. Especially the beef brisket was the best thing. The sauce with the cold soba noodles was absolutely delicious as well. Definitely recommend and we will be back!

Wow… I am visiting from Canada and happened across this place because I was at Costco close by… hands down best banh mi and Filipino lemonade I’ve ever tried. The pork adobo was juicy, the crispy onions were an amazing added texture and flavor, and the picked radish, carrot, and cucumber gave an amazing acidity and depth. The bun was perfectly crunchy and soft. And the Filipino lemonade was so tasty and hydrating. Please do not miss out on this place. Incredible food, and the service by Rose and Ron was cherry on top. Support your local spots! Skip the line at the Costco food court and walk 5 minutes to ‘OlenaHi. You want to find a hidden gem? This is the place.

Chef Ron Simon is very talented! The idea that he is sharing fine dining on a to go plate it’s crazy !!!!!!
I have been a client of this restaurant since 2019, back then he was already well known for his delicious menu! I’m always so very exited to share my experiences at the restaurant with all my friends and family when they stop by the island.
You can often catch his wife at the front of the store! Her welcoming smile and fun sense of humor is so complementary to Ron’s beautiful meals. De kind of home feeling that you can only get on a family owned restaurant.
Sorry no pictures of the food it’s yummy that I forget to take pictures of it every time!
It is wheelchair accessible and since they moved to this new location there is seating area in the food court!
Update, found some old photos but I promise not to be so greedy next time and take pictures before I eat all the yummy stuff!
