Highway Inn Kaka'ako Reviews
Notice how all the reviews about the "authentic local food" are written by tourists?
Ordered online for next day 4:50p pickup at Kaka'ako location. At 2:00 we got an email saying our order was ready. We live on the Northshore and were planning to pick up the food for a 6:00p family dinner in town.
Called the restaurant to check on the order. Nobody answered the phone on any of the listed numbers. Got an "aloha" recorded greeting followed by a disconnect....read full review
