This is one of those restaurants you don’t want anybody else to find out about why because the food is so damn good and you don’t like waiting in lines to get it even though you would and you never wait in line that’s how damn good this food is luckily their kitchen is very fast at cooking The phenomenal food that they’re always cranking out. I always get to ribs

Local told us to eat here and I’m glad we listened. The short ribs and bbq ribs were nothing short of spectacular. We’ll have to go back before we leave.

I arrived at Oahu, really hungry. When I went to rent a vehicle that was right next door to this place. They were closing but they told me that I could still order which was really nice ? I must say their food was really good. The place isn't really nice but their food was so ONO. ? if u ever on Oahu and ur hungry, this place is a must for me to go to when I'm hungry. Prices are pretty good for the amount of food they give. I could have shared my plate ? but nope. I saved it for my dinner ? instead. This place is for to go orders. So order ur food and go..... Oh, and for the two local men that were working there when I ordered my food. I want to say THANK YOU ? U both were very nice even though I got there when u guys were just about ready to close up. You guys were the bomb ? thanks again.

I got the poke place with the spicy hurricane selection. This hole in the wall is a great local favorite. Coworker got the ribs and loved them. Super friendly staff

Parking: Parking is a bit crazy but you can find street parking within 3-5 minute walk.

What a find, da kine is located in a desolated industrial like area. A few other small food take out places adjacent.No dine in, strictly takeout, opens at 1000, they were already slammed with take out orders, luckily we online ordered in advance.Opened the door and your basically in their kitchen/storage areas, they work hard and make it work. Staff friendly and efficient to a fault.Now let's get to their broke da mouth plate lunches. For a small place they have an extensive menu, small or regular plates, can make your own combos.Smoked meat & onions. Meat was tender and had a rich chocolatey smokey flavor profile, onions cooked not soft with with a slight crunch, all over rice and a separate small container of the spaghetti salad side which came with all the other plate lunches.Roast pork & gravy plate lunch. Chunks of tender shredded pork slathered in tasty brown gravy. Gravy lovers wet dream.BBQ ribs plate- rib meat tender and falling off the bone. Meat had a slight smokey crust, perfection. This would rival other rib places but at an affordable costBtw, we ordered the small plate which was more than enough, I was told the large plates are humungous.I'm still salivating on how well each plate lunch held their own, now this is how you become a successful business.Michelin star reviewers, if you're out there, they deserve a minimum 1 star rating, do your job.Aloha, until we meet again on my next visit
