Their turkey wrap is so ono, and you just can't go wrong with their soups! I had the African Chicken Soup - so delicious, lots of subtle flavors, and so hearty. Everything I've had so far is outstanding. I give Olena by Chef Ron Simon 5 spoons/forks/stars!

The food is healthy and very good quality. Poke, salads, ciabatta sandwiches, delicious yogurt parfait, quiches and on and on.

Food was amazing if you’re looking for local flavor and you can tell everything is made with clean and quality ingredients and a little love! We got fish and chips, pork belly sandwich, brisket bowl, and red beef stew. We cleaned our plates. Service was top notch! The lady made us feel so at home and she was so hospitable! We would definitely go again. Don’t pass on the sweets!

I absolutely love this place. Their food is amazing. It's a Grab and Go spot so dont expect seating but get there before the rush because the food goes fast. EVERYTHING tastes beyond great. My favorite has to be the Pork Belly Masubi. This is the one place I've been where the photos match the food. The flavors are phenomenal and owners wife makes you never want to leave. I crave Filipino lemonade now. I love my new Chinese mom!

The fish and chips, drinks, and bahn mi were delicious! The batter was super thin on the fish and everything was so fresh and was a perfect lunch on a hot day. The drinks with pineapple bits were delicious. Rose and her family were super friendly and generous. Definitely take the time to stop by!

I looked up ‘good food by the airport’ and this place came up. I’m sort of disappointed they disrespected this restaurant with ‘good’… this place is GREAT, AMAZING, WORTH A TRIP TO HAWAII FOR! Ha! The food was fresh, super tasty and the service was phenomenal. Rose was so sweet… sharing her opinion about what we would like and even ran to the car to check to see if we liked it, give us a ‘palate cleansing tea’ and a chocolate chip ‘cookie for your flight’. Our ‘fish and chips’ was made with mahi mahi which tasted like it was swimming in the ocean this morning… bbq brisket bowl was delectable, sweet, tangy, melted in our mouth… everything was delicious down to the pineapple Cole slaw they put on top as a ‘garnish’. We also had. ‘Filipino lemonade’ made with Calamansi!!! If you want really really tasty Hawaiian/asian fusion without the frills - COME HERE! I’ve done Michelin stars when necessary but for me it’s the ‘hole in the wall’ ‘slap yo momma’ meals I prefer. I told my agent who took my bags and showed her pictures - she said she was going while on her break! Hahahah

This place is a quick drive from the airport, and it was our first stop when we landed! The service was great, and the lady at the register is so nice and welcoming. We ordered the Filipino Lemonade, Blackened Ahi Sandwich, Adobo Pork Belly Bowl, Spicy Ahi Roll, truffle fries, large Banana Poi bread, and brownies. Everything was delicious, but the best is the Ahi Sandwich and the Adobo Pork Belly Bowl. Great flavor on both dishes and the Pork Belly is so tender. I love the crunch on the Ahi Roll and Sandwich too! Make sure to get the Banana Poi Bread, you won't regret it!! We decided to save the deserts for later. They both stayed moist and the banana poi bread was especially good and keeps well in the fridge for a morning snack in the hotel. Highly recommend stopping by

OMG, I just had the apple strudel at this place and it was just heavenly!!!! The lady who has helped me Rose, was super nice, I really enjoyed talking to her. Even the chef himself came out of the kitchen to say Hi. The place is super clean, it is easy to see that it is run by a true professional. Chef Ron really cares about the food he makes and he only accepts perfection. My apple strudel was so good that I am returning here to grab lunch for my kids! Highly recommend!

So very good! It was hard to decide what to order as everything is made from scratch and sounded amazing. I was going to have the Red Wine Beef stew, but it was sold out for the day. Chef Ron makes it over 2 days, nice and slow. The Filipino lemonade was the perfect light drink to complement the meal. Counter service only with no tables, but there is a counter you can stand and eat. Ample free parking. Chef Ron and his wife Rose were very friendly. Walk across the street after your meal and check out the Honolulu Chip Company for chips right out of the fryer.

Kind people, tasty food, great service! First time here. I ordered the pork belly bahn mi and the Filipino lemonade. The bahn mi was juicy and flavorful. The lemonade was good with little fruit bits at the bottom. I would definitely go back.

This place is absolutely amazing. Every single thing on the menu is phenomenal and the ladies holding down the front counter have the best energy I’ve ever experienced from an eatery. I could go to this place with a full stomach just to be hyped up by the women’s enthusiasm as they describe the dishes and joke around with the patrons. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would.

Brisket was MELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH DELICIOUS. This little hidden gem needs more than 5 stars. Friendly, over-the-top service. Everything everyone has said about this gem is right-on. Even if you’re not close by, make time to eat here.
