Oahu Grill is a small family business style restaurant. When we arrived on a Saturday during lunch time, there was only one person on staff and he greeted us with familiarity. The space is small and doesn’t offer much in the way of decorations. We ordered one of the large plates and split between our group as we were food touring the area and he was kind enough to give us larger portions than is typically served so we could try lots of options while still feeling satisfied.
The quality of the food was traditional home-style, like your grandma would make, but of course Hawaiian. The chicharron was delicious, but the meat was a bit dry and tough. Dipping it in the soy and vinegar sauce helped add moisture and also a nice acidic kick. We also got the squid lu’au, which was a bit odd to me as someone who’s never had it, but the taro leave mixture was really delicious and paired with the rice beautifully. The laulau pork was my favorite on the plate because every bite was tender and juicy. The poi was not for me as the texture reminded me of pudding, but made of taro root and it was cold. It’s more of a personal preference though. I loved ending the meal with the coconut jelly. Even though the textures and flavors aren’t the same, it reminded me of the effect arroz con leche has at the end of a spanish meal, probably because of the milk aspect. Delicious!

Kalua Grill is an absolute gem! I’ve had my fair share of kalua pork across the island, but nothing compares to what’s being served here. Smoky, tender, perfectly seasoned—it’s hands-down the best I’ve tasted anywhere in Hawaii. You can tell it’s made with care and tradition.
Beyond the incredible food, what really stood out was the staff. Every interaction felt genuine and thoughtful. The team was not only friendly and welcoming, but also truly engaging—sharing local insights, answering questions with enthusiasm, and making us feel right at home. You don’t just get a great meal here; you get a full experience.
Highly recommend stopping by Kalua Grill if you're looking for unforgettable food and hospitality that feels like family.

The taro leaf pork laulau, crispy pork belly and lomi-lomi salmon were amazing. I especially enjoyed the coconut haupia. Also, our Hawaiian server was kind and informative. I would come again!

My mom and I have been to this place once many years ago and that food there was wonderful this was because tried the hawaiian chicken which is also called the huli huli and it tasted wonderful. The service was good and atmosphere was lots of people ordering, and many others.
Great local Hawaiian food. Had crispy pork. Laulau pig. And tripe stew. Owner was very friendly. Excellent food and service.

Bring your appetite. We enjoyed the cool air and beer with our kalua pig pupus. ‘Oahu Grill is a hidden treasure with a family heartwarming atmosphere next to the Akis restaurant. We were so ono for Hawaiian food. They offer Hawaiian mixed plates, daily specials and catering. I wanted to start with the haupia but it came after the laulau, smoked meat, lomi and poi. Crispy pork comes with the vinegar mouth-watering dipping sauce.
