Not what I was expecting. Food tastes plain and presentation doesn’t look like photos on website. Wouldn’t recommend this place.

A small French style pastry shop.
The pastries are exactly how they are supposed to be made. Real butter, quality ingredients and made with care, you can taste it in every bite.
This hidden gem is on the second floor on the back side(mountain side) of Ala Moana mall just down from the Asian food court And that's the hack. There's is so seating in Pastele's so order you coffee, tea and snacks (it's hard to pick one thing) then head around the corner to the food court, have a seat and enjoy.
The staff was warm and friendly. They allowed me to linger, ask questions and take pictures. As always be pleasant, respectful and help support a local business.
If you see an old guy with a beard staring into the window, drooling on himself. Just ignore him, it's probably me.

Definitely worth a stop, we got the pastele loco moco and another plate and pastele lumpia. All of which were amazing! Parking is a little weird and there's not a ton of room inside but there's a cool mural and the service is quick. Definitely recommend checking it out.

Food taste great, I thought I was eating pasteles in my home island of Puerto Rico. Staff were very nice and attentive. Only down side is that it is take out only.

Not PUERTO RICAN To go place, no place to eat inside. Cashier was very nice, prices are high.
We order arroz con gandules (the rice had no more than 4 gandules) and pasteles (not Puerto Rican pasteles at all).

Still the best pasteles on Oahu. Mildly spicy, smoky and sweet. I have to buy a bunch every time I visit.

We went there on Tuesday about 1100a. There's a small free parking area and street parking available. This is my go to pastele shop when I'm in kalihi. Always nice people servicing. We got the spicy pasteles and pastele stew. Good eats!!!
This place never disappoint. Location and parking is a bit difficult, but we'll worth it. Service is great, they treat you like family, talk to you like family member, and the food is to die for. The best Pastele on the whole island, in my opinion. The Pastele Shop is the only place I buy Pastele from, hands down to all their hardworking they put into making the best foods..Highly recommend it..
Food is outstanding, its a hole in the wall but increable food

The food is very good and service is fast. But this is NOT a Puertorican restaurant!! It’s more like a Filipino restaurant with a Puertorican hint. If you are looking for authentic PR good; this is not it. We came because of the advertising, but we’re a little confused when we got there. Oh! And it is not dine-in either.
