The BEST RIBS EVER! OMG they are amazing! I’m sure other things are great but the ribs are worth the price of admission!

I ordered the Dynamite Salmon. It was cooked to perfection not dry at all & with a slight crunch to each bite, the sauce topping the salmon went well with the rice. And the spaghetti was great too. This was hands down the best thing I have eaten since I got to Hawaii.

We do a quarterly Potluck at work and the only question people will ask is who is bringing Kau Kau Grill. Order whatever you like, it'll be some of the best you've ever had. Ribs? Unbelievable. Chicken? To die for. Saimin or Mac Salad? Get ready for a fight over the last helping. Cannot say enough good things. Treat Yourself.

Was in the area for an appointment and finished right about lunchtime, so I luckily got a chance to pick up some grub from kau kau! The lady before me was picking up a phone order, so I asked what she ordered. Dynamite Furikake Salmon sounded too good to pass up, so I ordered it too! Super dooper delicious and such a large portion! The owner was sooo friendly, which seals the deal with this place! Will be back again for sure! I got lucky and found parking on the street. I recommend coming with a friend just in case, since parking can be a challenge in this industrial area.

The food was really good here. The fish was fresh and the ingredients were nicely combined. I would like to return to taste other menu items.

Super friendly staffs. The best rib I've ever had in my life. Shrimps are very garlicky but delicious as well.

This place is amazing and has the best meat we have found in the area. The baby back ribs are hands down one of the best things I've put in my mouth and are definitely my favorite. Get the Trust Us special with the ribs and shrimp, you will not be disappointed. Take out only and parking is a nightmare but it's worth it.

First time there. Ordered a garlic shrimp/ garlic chicken mini combo all mac salad; and BBQ ribs/pulehu ribs reg combo. Food was great! The garlic shrimp is just ok but the garlic chicken is great. BBQ ribs are fall off the bone and pulehu ribs are old style ono. More than enough for 2 meals each for us seniors. Didn’t expect to pay $48 though so deducted 1 star.

Came straight from the airport as soon as I got out. If you love meat, this is the place for you!! Huge portion of meat and very generous amount of rice. Seriously, the rice lasts for days. Ordered the K special that has bbq ribs and spicy tuna poke. My brother ordered the Lunchbox. Dad had garlic shrimp and saimin. The shrimp was delicious. I liked the bbp ribs. Tender meat fell right off the bones.

The big boy was plenty for 2. Loved it all! The crazy rice is not for me, sweet and mushy a bit. Just me though. It was great. Loved it and they was nice.
