WAT GET KITCHEN Reviews
This is a take-out restaurant with delicious Puerto Rican food. The pastele was larger than most had chunks of tender cubed pork. The gandule rice was prepared just how we like it--not mushy or dry, just the right moisture to complement the pastele. My husband and his friend are P Rican and they loved everything, too. The bacalao salad was mixed fresh when I ordered and had the right amount of dressing to flavor the greens. Definitely going back for more.
Honestly, best pasteles on island. No competition
I recently visited WAT GET KITCHEN, and it turned out to be a solid local spot for comforting plate lunch–style food in the Waipahu area. Tucked into a neighborhood location along Hikimoe Street, the restaurant has the kind of casual, community-centered atmosphere that you often find in long-standing local eateries across Oahu. The space is simple and practical, with the focus clearly on serving hearty meals rather than creating a formal dining environment.
