Hawaiian Restaurants in Aiea, HI

“would I recommend Kehau's kitchen!?!?! hell yah!!!! they are awesome people and the food is ONO!!!!! You will definitely leave super full and satisfied! my all time favorite place to eat Hawaiian food ❤“

“EVERYTHING! Was greeted and sat very quickly. The server was nice and friendly“

“Take out only. The have a vast variety of manapua, both steamed and baked. Staff is very friendly, efficient and puts a smile on my face. Makes a great impression when you are walking into a meeting, gathering, etc cause although everyone loves manapua, pork hash, half moon, rice cake, etc. Most people never think about this option which is far superior to donuts or other pastries.“

“This is the perfect hidden food place that locals go to. Good food, good prices and the service is practically non existent. Meaning, it's 99% take out. There is a small table outside but that's why it's cool. No nonsense food at a good price. I highly recommend the Bento #1, the Katsu and the fried chicken.

Parking: The parking is hard to find but if you wait for a few minutes someone will leave.“

“Convenient , tasty, and fast. You can't ask for more.“

“I was very impressed with the food. I purchased the mixed bbq plate. The food portion was very large and they gave a hefty portion of meat. I honestly didn’t have very high expectations going here, but I have to say I am very satisfied with the quality of the food, and the portion. I plan on eating here again!“

“Saw a review of this place on YouTube and I had to come and try it for myself. To be honest, it did not disappoint. It reminds me of an old diner like style that reminds me of a vintage restaurant. It also reminds me of my family's restaurant back home where most people go for the one special dish. There special dish is their ox tail soup and I can definitely say that it is amazing. Of course this is my opinion, but it has amazing flavor and taste! Would love to bring my family here and most definitely would eat here again. Service was pretty good and the place gets very busy. We had a little wait until we were seated but overall it was worth the wait. Would recommend this place to anyone that would like home style cooked food.“

“Absolutely wonderful! Great food... outstanding service!“

“Got the mini Teri beef with brown rice and Mac. Plus a side salad. The salad was fresh and not expensive at around 4$. Mini plate was not stingy with the meat. Brown rice was fresh, not overcooked. The meat had had a couple bites with hard gristle that could not be eaten. This knocks from 5-4 stars. Was pleased overall. Asked for Siracha and pepper. At 11.99 the mini plate is a fine alternative to the neighboring panda express’ offerings.“

“recently visited Jackie's Diner, and it turned out to be a dependable neighborhood diner that captures the comfort and familiarity people expect from classic local breakfast and lunch spots. Located along Kamehameha Highway in Aiea, the restaurant has a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere that feels very much like a community gathering place. The space is straightforward and comfortable, with the kind of casual environment where regular customers and first-time visitors can both feel at ease.

The menu focuses on classic diner-style comfort food, with a strong emphasis on breakfast favorites and hearty plate-style meals. Items such as omelets, pancakes, fried rice, and other traditional diner staples make up much of the selection. The portions are generous and designed to be filling, which is typical of local diners that serve both residents and workers looking for a satisfying meal to start the day.

One of the highlights of the meal was the breakfast selection. The eggs were cooked properly, the pancakes had a light texture, and the savory dishes carried the familiar flavors that define classic diner cooking. While the presentation is simple, the focus is clearly on delivering consistent comfort food rather than elaborate plating.

Service during the visit was friendly and efficient. The staff maintained a welcoming attitude and helped keep the dining room moving at a comfortable pace. Diners like this often succeed because of their sense of familiarity and hospitality, and Jackie’s Diner maintains that approachable atmosphere well.

Another appealing aspect of the restaurant is the sense of community it creates. Many local diners become regular meeting places for residents, and Jackie’s appears to have that same role in the Aiea neighborhood. The environment encourages relaxed conversation and unhurried meals, which adds to the overall experience.

Overall, Jackie’s Diner delivers a solid and satisfying diner experience with dependable comfort food, generous portions, and welcoming service. It is the kind of place people return to for familiar flavors and a relaxed neighborhood atmosphere.“

“Great local food! Friendly staff! Ono!“

“Beers always great but at special 25% off growlers … priceless!“

“Maybe the versions not in the mall are a little better. Food wasn't bad just not as good as I thought it would be. We all got a variety. Chicken sandwich was pretty great and fresh. I have the Loco moco which was alright. For sure edible, I finished it. Low quality burger patty but still not bad. We had a burger also not bad. Tots and fries pretty great. Basic. Mac salad was way too much mayo but I hear thats how it's supposed to be which I understand. Honestly BEST thing was that slushy float. YUM! Anyhow overall not a bad stop but would try to go to one not in the mall.“

“We got the chop steak kit a few days ago. It came with everything we needed to prepare the dish even the oil. We had enough for 2 dinners and we truly enjoyed it. Lots of veggies, the way we like it and the meat was plentiful and tender. It was so tasty. We look forward to making future purchases of different dishes. The kits are wonderful since we can’t go to the grocery store too often.“

“The only reason I left off 1 star is because the owner or manager needs to take the time to update the prices on the menu but besides that the food was good. I got Ahi katsu so you can't really mess that up lol but the front register girl Miya was an absolute ray of sunshine. Super sweet and answered all my questions and entertained my small talk. Great customer service“

“Love this restaurant...moved away some years ago, saw the restaurant was still open and wanted to see if the food was just as good as I remember. I would always get the fried rice with Portuguese sausage. ONOLICIOUS!!! just like I remember!!“
