This is some of the best island food I've had in a really long time! The Kalua pork was phenomenal same with their chicken..... highly recomend!

Check ‘em out!! We’re glad we did! They are most popular for their Pupu Chicken, and that’s what I got. It was so delicious and hands down the best lightly breaded chicken I have ever tasted. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. We also got the bbq teriyaki and it was also delicious. Mahalo for the ono foods you guys!

We were in their area to run an errand and looking for a place to eat. This is the only Hawaiian place in that part of town, so we stopped in. We were promptly greeted warmly and, even though it took a while to figure out what we wanted, there was no pressure to order quickly. When asked, the lady at the counter gladly explained the menu items. Although I don't like anything Teriyaki, I decided to try theirs (beef). I was pleasantly surprised to find the Teriyaki was VERY tasty and I will definitely order it again. 5 stars all the way around!!

It's casual dining. I love their Pupu chicken.... sweet, crispy chicken skin over rice is fabulous.... I usually get all rice, no mac salad. If you want small portion, they have 5 lunch combo that actually comes with a drink!

They are super friendly and helpful, and serve some amazing food! I usually get their 13 plate, which comes with rice, mac salad, and what feels like 2-3 chicken breasts. My wife orders the 6 combo, which is rice, Mac salad, and somewhere between 3 tenderloins- 1 breast worth of meat plus a soda of her choice. All this to say they have great servings for a great price! I love their teriyaki sauce, it goes great on their beef or chicken! Another great option is the pupu chicken (skin on fried chicken).

This place surpasses all of its other competitors, it is so freaking good. I would wait 2 hrs for a plate but I have only had to wait 20 mins. It’s definitely a hidden gem.

Great flavors, amazing price for the amount of food you get. There is a wait but it’s so worth it!

Been coming here for years and not once have i been disappointed by the food/service. They are the kindest people ever, for the last few years they have remembered my family and I’s order and names. I refuse to go to the big chain restaurants now because it never tastes as good as it does at island grinds. Love these guys
