About SAMs Kitchen Waikiki Shopping Plaza

SAMs Kitchen is a restaurant located downstairs in the Waikiki Shopping Plaza. It is described as a great “hole in the wall” spot in the food court area. The restaurant offers a choice of a protein, a sauce, and sides. The garlic shrimp is really great, peeled, and has good flavor—nice and garlicky without being too greasy. The shrimp is fresh, hot, plump, and so flavorful, not too spicy and cooked to juicyness. The garlic chicken did not disappoint, with lightly dried pieces of chicken breast tossed in a garlic sauce that was soaked up by a bed of rice. The Matsuri shrimp features large shrimp with flavorful Matsuri seasoning and ginger that added a nice compliment of flavor. The perfectly cooked white rice and sticky rice were easy to eat with chop sticks. The potato salad side and salad were tasty and decent. The service was great, and the front desk worker made you feel at home. The food is worth the wait and worth it 100%.

Really great garlic shrimp - and it’s peeled! Good flavor shrimp - nice and garlicky without being too greasy, perfectly cooked white rice, and tasty potato salad side. A little hard to find because it’s downstairs in the Waikiki Shopping Plaza, but worth it 100%.
The shrimp was so delicious and I felt the generosity and kindness.
Great “hole in the wall” spot here.

The plaza / food court area is known due to maguro bros, but this spot serves up a delicious plate.

You choose a protein, a sauce, then what sides you want (or make it a plate for $6 which is salad and potato salad)

I went with garlic chicken and it did not disappoint. The salad and potato salad sides were decent the the star of the show was the lightly dried pieces of chicken breast that was tossed in this garlic sauce...read full review
