Traditional Hawaiian food is always a bit pricy but the poi here was absolutely delicious and all the food very 'ono. It's a great way to try several different dishes. Especially loved the squid luau and the triple tomato stew - both so flavorful!

Amazing food and place. This is the most homemade Hawaiian food I’ve ever had. You can’t go wrong with anything. I had the kalua pork and smoked meat pork were AMAZING. So much flavor wow. We also got the squid lu’au which was great as well.
Honestly everything here, even the coconut jelly and the rice was good. This seems like a mom and shop place so only one server - be patient. Highly recommend to anyone looking for local Hawaiian food 10/10

You can't go wrong here. Everything is so homemade, authentic and delicious. Laulau, kalua pig, lomi-lomi salmon, but the best of all dishes we tried Squid Luau!!!! So good!!! Very casual restaurant with amazing friendly service.
Order a plate and you get lomi salmon, haupia and two scoops of rice or poi.

Got the garlic shrimp and pork lau lau and WOW this did not disappoint, flavors were on point!! The owner is so sweet and gives amazing local recs of things to do in Oahu. Only sad part is that they no longer have a dine in area but they are looking for waiters if you’re in the market for a job!

Came here for traditional Hawaiian food. Each dish was quite delicious. Our order were 3 choice plate (Squid Luau, Pipikaula, Crispy Fried Pork), LauLau Mini and Rice. Customer service was also good. I went there during the daytime on Saturday, but it was good that it was empty during the daytime, but the parking lot was very crowded.

We were tourists looking for some authentic Hawaiian cuisine. The place is a gem and a literal hole in the wall, with lots of locals eating there. The staff was very friendly and told us about every dish and even warned us about what we might not like since we aren't locals with a local palette. The food was very good and seemed authentic, while still being affordable. She was indeed correct that our tourist palette might not like the Poi, but that's ok.

Food was great! Staff was friendly and helpful. Menu had multiple choices. Meals had very interesting side dishes. The Garlic Shrimp was one of the best I had in Oahu (second best was Shrimp Shack). Also tried the squid dish and very much similar to Laing (Filipino food) with coconut milk except for the use of squid which was very delicious as well. Parking is easy. Good place to go after going to Diamond Head!

Authentic Hawaiian cuisine! And SUPER tasty! Super recommend for anyone wanting an authentic experience. The kids liked the Kahlua pork mixed with rice, so there are options for picky eaters 👍
Located within a shopping area. You need to pay for parking, but it's like .75 cents. And you pay before exiting so don't try to exit without physically paying beforehand.
