“Authentic Hawaii food, cooked by locals.
Simply awesome, tasty, good quantity, and reasonable prices.
I bought pork adobo.
Meat was cooked to perfection, tender, juicy, and just yummmy food.
Highly recomended !!!“

“Stopped in for some lunch with my wife. Excellent service, excellent food. Great place.“

“Local plate lunch place. Have tried the kalua pork, pork adobo, and pork squash (squash was a special, not a regular item), was all great, and cheap too.Entrance to the place is inconspicuously tucked into the corner. They have some tables and chairs setup outside, but as an alternative, just down the road is Hunananiho campsite and Waimanalo Beach, nicer to go eat there.“

“Everything I have had here is so ono! Love the fresh noodles made with local ingredients can't beat it so worth the wait!!“

“Best poke on the island. The ginger ahi poke is to die for. Lines are long but worth the wait!“

“Very good food.“

“The food is not expensive and it’s fulfilling“

“Good food and staff Great service“

“Beautiful venue, fantastic and attentive staff, and amazing high-level food. Highly recommend! Having more plants dispersed through the space could warm it a bit more but other than that we wouldn’t change anything. Amazing all-around. Special thanks to our server, John C, who helped make our dinner experience there exceptional.“

“Everything was good. Great service.“

“The hospitality from check in to service at the table is always consistently excellent and the recommendations from the servers, always so good! The macadamia nut crusted mahi and the taro hummus were amazing and we loved the refreshing the coconut lime sorbet for dessert. Can't wait to go back and try more!“

“One of our favorite things when traveling is discovering some hole-in-the-wall restaurant that knocks our socks off....that was tonight #bestfoodever“

“Awesome food and cocktails“

“Make sure you triple check your oder. Today we ate at the Honolulu Bistro for the first time. The guy at the register claims he didn't rung us up for 2 sandwiches. At checking out he did say back our order. The recipe is not detailed either. The amount we paid was definitely for 2 sandwiches. We ended up sharing 1 sandwich and left.“

“Great food and wonderful service!“

“The service was impeccable. Our server, Evelyn, offered wonderfully delicious suggestions that were on point.

The food was a party in mouth with some delightful flavors (Kalua Nachos, Shoyu Ahi Poke, and Waianae Shaka Moa Egg over rice *raw egg w/white soy sauce).

This was by far a superb place to eat. The ambiance is chill and the decorations eclectic, and the prices are good. Happy hour is from 5-6:30 which gives you the opportunity to sample various menu options at very affordable prices.

I'll definitely come back again on my next visit.“

“My favorite is their Grilled Pork Chop. Good food & satisfies any craving!“

“Never had I imagined eating a hot dog with Kalua pig amd onion rings on it or anything else as I eat my hot dogs with only mustard and relish! Decide to give this place a try and must say the hot dog I ordered called "common kings" was very delicious! Definitely gonna go back for more! It isn't a regular bot dog bun that they use either, which make this hot dog so tasty and unique! The only warning is that it is a little messy due to the size, but totally worth the mess!“

“My first time here after seeing them on tv. So glad the worker tied the bag of my 3 plates tightly and that they use strong plastic containers. I took a sharp turn and my bag flipped to the side. My food shifted a little in the container, but at least it didn’t spill out or leak out of the containers. Love the hamburger steak with crispy onions! Omg, the special parmesan chicken was huge!! This was ono too. Will definitely go back there again. ❤️“

“Best authentic Hawaiian food on the island! The owners work and cook the meals and are there to great you with a warm welcoming! Would highly recommend to anyone who loves authentic delicious food.“

“Reasonably priced, great service and they put lots of food in the plate lunch!“

“One of the most recommended restaurants during your 6-night stay in Waikiki??If you have plans for Kuala Ranch, be sure to stop by and try it.
It was so, so delicious. Everything was delicious, but the garlic shrimp was truly fantastic!! I highly recommend it^^“

“Fish taco’s, moco loco, and mai tai“

“Great food, friendly staff, location, location, location!“

“I stopped by because I wanted to try poke for dinner. It's enough to eat for dinner, and it's fresh and delicious. The staff are friendly and do not force tips. Just like Subway, you can choose your order one by one! The staff provides friendly guidance, and it is written in Korean. I love it!“

“Ono poi. Looking for Kulolo.“

“Their hawaiian plate was so Ono & the portions were big. Highly recommended.“

“chicken katsu and all rice“

“One of my favorite places to eat. Always good service & great food.l“

“Best Food , sweet Potato Poke Wed/Friday Da Hawaiian Chili Peppa Wata so good“

“Hole in the wall small diner with great historical pictures on the wall, and OUTSTANDING authentic pre-colonization traditional dishes. Delicious! The gentleman that served me was very informative of what dishes the dishes were and how to eat them. Awesome!!!“

“Great dining experience and service“

“Great food and spectacular oceanfront setting! Service was friendly and warm, but a little slow. Recommend!“

“If you are REALLY HUNGRY, this place will serve you well. I ordered a bbq chicken dish, there three large chicken meat with some veggies, macaroni, two scoops of rice. Quality wise it was OK, not very special but not bad at all. Just a bit salty...“

“Great service and super friendly with great food! Made daily and great choices. Must try it and you’ll love ❤️ it!“

“Our visit to Hoku's was an absolute delight. We chose the tasting menu, and every bite was special. The composed watermelon was the highlight for me. My husband loved the tagliatelle. The lobster risotto did not disappoint. Lovely flavors and beautiful presentation. Complaints about portion size should be ignored. Each course was exceptional and the richness of successive dishes meant portions were just right. Service was lovely and attentive without being intrusive. Simply a lovely evening and highly recommended.“

“This is as local as it gets. Not like rainbow drive-in...?
Opens early (like 5am), lots of food, good prices and is a mom and pop shop.
Breakfast combo, see Pic, is two link sausages, two portagese sausage, two to three pieces of bacon, 1 spam, 2 eggs (any way you like it) over rice. For like $8 plus tax. For years, they kept the price fair with low over head. Other places would have made this $20 by now. Lol
The other items like mix and bbq mix plate is good too. They are flexible, if you want to change the two items, you can. They are poplar among locals and conveniently cheap for kakaako...one of OGs still here...by only open till slightly after lunch
Service is as you expect. Nothing special, go their enough, she knows your order...haha
Atmosphere is okay, you are NOT there to sit for 2 hrs and enjoy. You eat, and you leave, or take it to go. Some would say it's very mom and pop like. Whatever the case, it's worth going to a local drive-in that doesn't inflate prices or ask you for an additional 3% for all credit card payment.
Parking is all on the street. Hard to get, luckily I just walk over. Some are free, most are metered parking stalls.“

“Ono poi. Looking for Kulolo.“

“Quite honestly it was one of the best food experiences of my entire trip to O'ahu, even though it was just an emergency dinner after a very long hike - I was very hungry. The place has a local climate attached to it with friendly people you can talk to and listen to their stories. Prices are really good for the amount of meat you get and its very tasty. Only the mac n cheese wasn't that great for me but I guess it's just not my thing.“

“There are set menus, but the basic system is to choose one to three side dishes.The main ingredients are local Hawaiian foods, so if you don't have prior knowledge, you won't really know what the flavors are or what the ingredients are, but I don't think you'll be disappointed.It's getting more expensive every year, and it doesn't feel like a good deal because it's like, "Hey, this is only $20," but since it comes with a heaping portion of rice and plenty of side dishes, it's more than the average Japanese person can eat. To do.(In that case, I would like it to be a little less expensive.)“

“Value, amount of food for the money, is good, but the quality is uneven.

Service is outstanding: extremely fast from order to ready-to-eat.

Double cheeseburger deluxe (smash) and mixed plate are yummy. Fries (crinkle) are surprisingly good and generous. Soft drinks are fairly priced. However, I’d avoid any of the fried foods, saimin, and beef curry (pick beef stew instead).

The area gets somewhat sketchy after dark, so be aware of your surroundings.“

“flavors: red cream soda, manderine orange, li hing mango!“

“This is a \\\"condensed\\\" or \\\"Express\\\" version of L\\u0026L with a limited menu. Their hours are 6:30am to 1:30pm. They're located in the First Insurance Company building on the corner of Ward Ave. and S. Hotel St.“

“If you're ever looking to grab lunch on campus, I recommend checking out L&L at Paradise Palms. The food was mostly what I expected in terms of standard plate lunch, but the mac salad was especially great. The workers were also very friendly!“

“A real neighborhood joint whose food is good!“

“Our numerous visitations/food orders from here are hardly disappointing. Food is prepped well with great menu options, poke is fresh & tasty, service is fairly quick and always friendly. We usually order the Saigon Crunch, pasteles or smoked Kalbi plate with extra large shrimps. They do not skimp on their portion size and their tuna-mac salad is excellent! Inside dining may be a tad noisy so we take out, find a table next to the water and ENJOY!“
