Had a wonderful lunch at Ray’s Cafe. The staff are very nice, and the specials are an incredible value and delicious. Unfortunately, the prime rib I came for wasn’t available so I had the combo with ono fish and fried chicken. The fish was a large fillet, and the fried chicken were crisply fried. Everything was delicious. It’s clear this is a local favorite. Parking was difficult but well worth the trip if you find one.

Heard a lot about this establishment and was excited to actually try it. The hype was not disappointed. Foods are absolutely delicious and fresh. Service is top notch. Highly recommended.

No parking but they let us park behind the back entrance. Quick and friendly service, the food came rather quickly and you can tell it’s a neighborhood favorite because of how busy it is. I like the fact that it’s table service for those who wish to dine-in. Lots of prime rib and steak plates for those who wish to eat and maybe have some leftovers for lunch. Gem in kalihi. Cash only so don’t forget your wallet!

Omgeee the Pork Chops was huuuggeee!
I opted for the bacon / eggs over easy, 2 cute scoops rice, cute size white toast with butter and a side of bacon!
Who eats just bacon without bacon onto it off.
Put soMê Tabasco in those over easy eggs, shoYu on da rice and it went down!!
So if you’re driving by and see the Door open, pull into the parallel parking stalls and have a meal within!!!!
Winnah winnahs Bacon n Eggs!!
Just let u know, there is a wait time in your delicious food- so no need to a rush!!
Thank you

They haven’t been screwing up my food lately which is good lol !
I still come for the prime rib …but my new go to is oxtail stew which they have every Friday. You won’t find that much oxtail for that price any where on island.
The prime rib with king crab kind of isn’t worth it anymore. If you going be that much for prime rib and king crab just go buffet.

Great food, great people, the menu changes with specials daily. The pork chops have a nice crust and are juicy and flavorful. The crab legs are the best, big, tasty and delicious. So is the lobster tail, and the prime rib tastes so good and the serving size is generous. We always come here when we visit Honolulu. Watch out they close at 5pm so don’t come for dinner.

I ordered roast pork with gravy for $10 tax included and “WOW” they gave so much. It was good but I could not eat it all so I took the leftover for my dinner. The workers are very friendly and helpful. This is a nostalgic place with many memories, a hole in the wall “GEM.”

Cozy little café with friendly vibes. The owner and staff were welcoming, giving the place a familiar neighborhood feel as the owner chatted with customers. Service was a bit slow, but I was here for the prime rib. For $27, you can’t beat the value. The steak was cooked to the right temperature and came with rice and a side salad. Worth the wait.

My partner recommended we’d check this spot out and it was amazing! Hole in the wall spot with a few tables there, but it seems like most people go there for takeout or party orders. We were seated quickly and had our orders taken in that time (we knew what we came in for). The aunty that seated us came back right away with water and tossed salad. Our food came out a few moments later and it was great! The prime rib was so soft and seasoned nicely, the au jus that it came with was perfect. Not salty at all and went well with the meat. The rack of lamb with asparagus was soft as well, and was still soft after we took our leftovers home. At the restaurant, another guy from the back came out with custard pie and even that was great too! Not too sweet, but light and fluffy! The owner made some small talk with us as he recognized we were not regulars and he was really nice. Turns out we don’t live that far from each other! Overall a great experience and will definitely be back

I found this place through scrolling Reddit (thanks to the Redditor who suggested this place for Prime Ribs). Definitely not known to the mainstream Chinese and Japanese tourists yet so will try to keep it that way. This is a hole in the wall type of place. The food is amazing, prices are good value and the place is extremely hectic. There is no AC in the cafe so it is really hot in there. Prime Ribs are only available on Fri and weekends only. Do call before going to confirm and you can place phone orders before reaching the place.
