I've been coming to Masa's so they opened I believe in the late '60s and I don't think I was ever disappointed- the taste and quality of their food is always great and portions are huge. Parking is a bit difficult but it's worth the hassle.

Masa's is great always good fast service and great food huge portions at great prices makes this hole-in-the-wall joints one of the best options in town. They known for their cafeteria style food. I like their baked spaghetti and roast pork plate. Reasonable prices that is cheaper and better than L&L. Each day has a different special and main course from Monday-Fridays. The food was on point! Roast pork tender and roast beef as well. Gravy was good with enough seasoning and not too salty and a good base. Good hole-in-the-wall option around airport area.

A must-try "hole in the wall" that you'll definitely go back to! When we have big parties, this is our "go-to" for catering. The food is "onolicious", service is always welcoming & the portions are generous.

They give the best portions!!! Huge! We love all the plates. Our office orders lots of plates and only takes 10 min. Lots of Aloha and Love! One of my favorites! Price is awesome!

Hardly get to eat here so this morning was a treat and I finally got to try breakfast here. Masa’s knocked it outta the park! Service counter (where I ordered my take out breakfast) was SPOT ON with GREAT and friendly service. Gal at the counter exuded Aloha “to da max”. Food was very thoughtfully packed like over never seen! (180 out from Rainbow’s Drive in in Kalihi where I had the worst customer experience from a Rainbow EVER. Anyway, props and thanks to Masa’s for the great experience! Oh- and breakfast was great and generously portioned!Parking: In the parking space challenged industrial area, Masa’s has great free parking

Always love going here when I am getting parts for my car or toilet from T Oki. Go early before they run out and the lines get long. Food is delicious and plenty! Analiza I keep missing when you there.

"LUCKY YOU LIVE HAWAII" ... on Thursdays!! Many of us may have forgotten how lucky we are to live Hawaii because of the tough times we experienced in the 2020's. The year 2020 was especially life changing and excruciatingly painful as we lived through government shutdowns and the mandate to shelter in place because of COVID-19, which cause 75% of all activity in Honolulu to come to an abrupt and agonizing stop. We felt heartfelt sorrow to see business' dear to us, like Like Like Drive Inn, Love's Bakery, Kobe Steakhouse, Shirokiya, Alan Wong's, The Honolulu Club, Monterey Bay Cannery and Char Hung Hut close their doors forever. We lost that "LUCKY YOU LIVE HAWAII" feeling. The expression "LUCKY YOU LIVE HAWAII" became a weak and faded memory. Well it's 2023 and things have definitely gotten better, but for me, I don't feel "LUCKY YOU LIVE HAWAII" ... on Saturday's because Saturday's is when the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors play football. I miss the "LUCKY YOU LIVE HAWAII" feeling I felt under head coaches Bob Wagner and June Jones. I felt "LUCKY YOU LIVE HAWAII" because every nerve in my body filled with adrenalin and I felt uncontrollable excitement watching Colt Brennan, Chad Owens, Jason Elam, Travis Laboy, Asley Lelie, Devon Bess play championship, run and shoot football. I even started believing that one day the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors would be NCAA Division 1A Football Champions. I really felt "LUCKY YOU LIVE HAWAII." I'm beginning to get that "LUCKY YOU LIVE HAWAII" feeling ... on Sunday's because Tua Tagovailoa is a stud that makes Hawaii proud as he throws touchdown after touchdown, and has lead the Miami Dolphins to the top of the AFC East. And for your information, I felt "LUCKY YOU LIVE HAWAII" ... on Thursday when I visited Masa's Cafeteria in Mapunapuna and ordered their Thursday's special Hot Pastrami Sandwich with hot potato salad for the price of $13.50 plus tax. When I felt the weight and opened the top of my takeout box and saw Masa's Cafeteria's impressive, Thursday's special Hot Pastrami Sandwich for the very first time, my mouth started salivating and I forgot about all the hardships I experienced in 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 and felt truly grateful and immediately thanked Buddha for helping me survive the pandemic and for striking a spark that rekindled the feeling that I was truly "LUCKY YOU LIVE HAWAII" ... on Thursday. And when I bit into and started eating my Masa's Cafeteria Thursday's special Hot Pastrami Sandwich with hot potato salad, my eyes opened wide in amazement as the juicy and delightful pastrami gave my mouth and tummy a warm satisfying feeling that made me want to jump up and dance to K.C. and the Sunshine Band's "Shake Your Booty" and shake, shake, shake my cute little ass. And as I started getting to the last few bites of my Masa's Cafeteria Thursday's special Hot Pastrami Sandwich with hot potato salad, I started wishing that tomorrow (Friday) was Thursday so that I could eat this winnah Pastrami Sandwich with hot potato salad again and feel "LUCKY YOU LIVE HAWAII" ... on Friday. And then my mind started to wander and I started thinking that if Saturday was Thursday, I could go to Masa's Cafeteria and order their Thursday special Hot Pastrami Sandwich with hot potato salad and feel "LUCKY YOU LIVE HAWAII" .... on Saturday, instead of sitting through the misery of watching the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors play Air Force at the Clarence TC Ching Athletic Complex on Saturday. And just so you know that this was just a wandering daydream because Masa's Cafeteria is takeout only; serves lunch from 10:30 A.M. to 1:30 P.M. Monday thru Friday and is closed on weekends. Telephone order number is (808) 831-0052. Masa's Cafeteria is an unassuming looking eatery in Mapunapuna, but they serve food that makes me feel "LUCKY YOU LIVE HAWAII". UPDATE: I d

One of my favorite places on Oahu! The food, the people, are legendary. Get the spam and egg sandwich extra pickles.... da buggah is mean! One of the places you don't want to share but don't ever want to shut down, so please spread da word

My normal work schedule prevents me from getting to enjoy Masa's food very often, but I did get to visit early this morning (10/28/23 ~06:00 a.m.). I walked up on whim and ordered from the ABSOLUTE FRIENDLIEST person who exuded all kinds of Aloha (all of this in a simple and quick interaction that she must do all day, everyday). I got the 2 eggs and bacon, and a Loco Moco to go. The wait was reasonable but this was not what made me think to create a review on yelp...it was the forethought they put into their "to-go" packaging. I got home, and upon opening my bag, #1, they had the 2 plates rubber banded to help keep them stacked while traveling. THEN (#2), opened the plate and again, the forethought they put into their work is OFF THE CHARTS! There was a top layer of my toast (comes with the order) and condiments that I 100% appreciated and WILL use! Then a sheet of parchment paper, then my meal. WAY TO GO MASA'S! You all will always be at the top of my list when I'm in the area and you folks are open! Thank you for making my day Masa's crew! I only wish I could visit way more often!
