Food is great. They have the best breakfast burrito on the island imo. The cashier need to work on her attitude though.

Great spot. Food was amazing and so was the prices! I got a cheeseburger and my wife the chicken teriyaki. Both were amazing and only cost $30. Food was fresh, took a little longer than expected but it was a great last meal before we take off. Highly recommended if you are looking for fast dining that isn’t going to break the bank

We stumbled upon this place when looking for some lunch. What a treat to fine a place the locals go to and we can see why. The food was delicious and many options to choose from.

I eat here all the time. The food is incredible. The staff are phenomenal and so welcoming. Definitely one of my favorite places to eat on island. Try the Surf n Turf… sooo good.

Amazing spot for plate lunch before a round at Pukalani Golf Club (down the road). They have a great website with menu and option to order online for pick up which was what we did. Online ordering also offers modifications/add ons. I got the mini size Ono ala Kalei with rice and salad (no upcharge) which came with one piece of ono and was so ‘Ono! My husband got a full size moschiko chicken and enjoyed it, I’d say to upgrade to hurricane style on the chicken to add a bit of sauciness. The restaurant is located in a complex with Foodland etc, they had air conditioned seating inside and tables/chairs outside facing a parking lot. Atmosphere maybe not a romantic date but fine for grab n go. They seemed to offer a daily deal for $6 (today was moschiko chicken and fried rice), didn’t see the option on the online form but if you’re in the neighbourhood for cheap eats!

While visiting friends who live in Pukalani, we decided to check out this spot with nice local treats and delicious Hawaiian Food.

Welcome to Kalei’s LunchBox!

My friends don’t eat meat, so we went for a rack of their grilled Ono sandwiches and two orders of Hurricane deep friend Brussel sprouts without meat, and everything was delicious.

They have a super Loco Moco with 3 patties on it that I definitely want to come back for. One of the neighboring tables ordered one of the breaded teriyaki pork plates which looked beautifully dusted with a light crispy breading and a teriyaki sauce drizzle on the already teriyaki marinated meat. I was very interested in trying that too (which they offer with lightly breaded, crispy beef or crispy pork), but we had more than enough food to satisfy the craving.

Service was quick and friendly. There were two registers and helpers doing a great job of handling orders in person and taking orders and payment over the phone.

This place must be great as we saw loads of people ordering over the phone and coming in to pick up orders, not to mention the loads of local customers eating inside.

We ran into some friends who were here for a big to go order to take home to their family and they said they love Kalei’s.

We had a lovely experience and are definitely looking forward to our next visit.

If you happen to be up country or interested in making a detour from the beach. I highly recommend a stop into Kalei’s Lunchbox for a delicious spread of Hawaiian treats, meat, seafood, etc.

Thank you for taking the time to read my review and hope you have an amazing meal!

Mahalo and Happy Island Travels!
