Olena, such a nice gem in the Dole food court. Aunty Rose is serving with Aloha and assistance - Lisa is very nice and sweet too. I tried their banana poi bread, which when they said a slice online, I thought is just a slice but I was wrong, it was quiet a thick square shape size! I was full after eating the whole thing! Is less sweet compare to other places that sell banana bread and it pair so well with the unsweetened drinks. I had the houjicha/matcha tea (no added soy milk), and is perfect balance, not bitter at all. And you can see the whole making tea process, no addition items added, just purely tea powder with hot water. Can do ice or hot but I opt for ice. I definitely would come back to try other entrees/bakery items! read more

New lunch spot in Kalihi opened on 10-29-18! This Hot & New restaurant used to be located at the John A. Burns Medical School in Kaka'ako, but has moved across the street from the Hawaiian Chip Company! How convenient! They share the same free parking lots! When you walk in, you will be warmly greeted by Rose Ling, the Manager. She is so helpful and enthusiastic! Wow! I want everything now! I was aiming for the Salmon plate first and got distracted by the Filipino Lemonade and the Cranberry Refresher. (The humidity in the late afternoon has something to do with it!) Yes - I went right before closing, so I got all of my questions answered and had lots of attention since I was the last customer of the day! Since I was there, I also got the Soup of the Day - Tomato Bisque which was quite hearty! The Parmesan Truffle Oil Fries put me over the top! I was pleasantly full in a healthy way! I had to eat my chocolate chip cookie and Banana Poi bread later! Mmmmm! The beautiful presentation of the food is above and beyond for a take out place. The quality products and service are worth mentioning! I'm looking forward to returning and having more yummy meals and maybe even take one of Chef Ron's Cooking Classes! read more

So I've been here a few times and got different items to try each time - banana bread, brisket bowl, oxtail soup, and prime rib. While some of these dishes are great, I think that others could be better is there was more salt added to it as it was a little bland. However , I do understand that they try to keep it minimal but sometimes it just needs that extra bit of salt. Pricing is not bad for the items and it's pretty comparable to other places. Service is really great. The lady out front is always super nice. Location is in the Kalihi area next to the hawaiian chip company. It's off the side of the road but the building is not hard to find as it's bright orange. I do enjoy the banana bread and brisket bowl tho read more

I have been wanting to try food from Olena for quite a while now and I was so surprised that they were open on a Sunday!! Ordering online was easy and quick! I got online confirmation and a text message when my food was ready for pickup! I chose curbside pick up and Rose answered my call and was so sweet and pleasant! My halo halo craving was fulfilled and I loved that there were bits of Okinawa sweet potato in it! My family ate the brisket bowl and hamburger with truffle fries. Everything was delicious. Can't wait to go back and try some other items on the menu! read more

1. I work in Libby St. so the fact that 'Olenas is only 3 minutes drive away deserves a star for convenience. Helllooo lunch runs. 2. I can't begin to explain the customer service. Literally the cashier was so nice & thoughtful I didnt know what to do with myself or how to react other than say thank you. She even went to the entrance and made sure I got to my car okay or if I needed help getting out of the lot. Wow. She even wanted to make sure you got your fries really fresh. 3. The Mahi mahi. Uuuuugh, it melts in your mouth. It's the best fish & chips I've had in a long time. The first bite of the fish will get you moaning. Mmmmm 4. Baked empanada. Seriously, so different and so delicious. 5. It's pretty clean inside. It's like a take out eatery, there's no tables for you to sit inside. Overall, definitely my new go to spot for lunch other than sugois. read more

I happened to stumble upon this place while waiting for tires to be installed at Costco. From the outside, this place is runner by two I amazing ladies that shares the same passion of the food that they serve . After looking around this food court, there wasn't much choice to select from, but this place seemed to catch my appetite so I gave this place a try. I walked in, and noticed the building employees seemed to like this place over the others, and waiting in lindd we to try out there adobo bowl. On the picture and also the display, looked really good. One of the ladies showed me todays special that was the Kailua pork plate special. By the site of it look good, but I was still wanted to try there adobo bowl. But the cashier was the one that sold me on the Kalyan pork plate. She explained and made sound soo good that I had to try it out. OMG! It was amazing and delicious! The Kalyan pork didn't taste they salty like the cashier explains and it being more home made. It had the good stuff like the fatty part of the pork mixed in with shreds of pork and cabbage. I literally mopped the entire plate being soo good. I will come back to this place and try out that adobo bowl when I'm in the area , and will definitely recommend this place Shout out to the to workers up front! read more

Upscale delicious local foods, w/dishes influenced by Filipino & turmeric touches! You can find these at Olena by Chef Ron Simon (OCR). The name "Olena" means turmeric in Hawaiian, which is known for its medicinal & purifying properties that Hawaiian ancestors used to cleanse the mind & body. As such, OCR's mission is to create the most nutritious & flavorful dishes that are healthy & delicious. Owner/chef Ron Simon is trained in French culinary classic techniques & patisserie & has 22 years of culinary experience. His experiences include: Westgate Hotel's Fontainebleau French restaurant (San Diego), Four Seasons Lodge at Koele (Lanai), Mauna Lani Bay Hotel (Big Island), Kukui'ula Club (Kauai), Café Miro, Padovani's Chocolates, & Pacific Club (Oahu). Chef Ron initially started at farmers' markets at Kapiolani Community College & the Blaisdell Center, before opening OCR at the University of HI Medical School as one of its vendors in Café Waiola in Aug. 2017. Due to extensive renovations at the medical school, OCR moved to its current location off of Nimitz Hwy. in Kalihi in 2018. The restaurant offers a varied menu consisting of the following rotational items: * Daily hot dishes: rice & salad bowls, burgers, ahi roll, fish & chips, red wine beef stew, bbq pork ribs, lemongrass tofu or chicken. Served w/ rice & salad. * Daily specials: Monday surprise; fish tacos (Tues); surf & turf (Wed); prime rib w/ popover, mashed potatoes, tossed salad (Thur); 6 oz black angus beef loco moco w/ red wine sauce, over easy eggs, caramelized onions, potato mac salad (Fri); ribeye katsu (Sat). * Grab-n-go items: red wine beef stew, lilikoi BBQ ribs, meatball marinara, soba salad, pork guisantes, chicken long rice, pancit & others. Just immerse the vacuum packed bags in boiling water, simmer for 8-10 minutes & serve. * Musubis: prime brisket, adobo pork belly, teri spam. * Sides: Okinawan sweet potato poke, tofu poke, organic beats, roasted brussel sprouts w/ bacon drizzled w/ balsamic vinaigrette & others. * Drinks: Filipino lemonade, dragonade, tropical blend tea, halo halo, green macha soy latte & others. * Pastries: jumbo chocolate chip ganache s'mores, baked ube bread pudding w/salted caramel sauce, banana poi bread, ube shortbread cookies, cream cheese shortbread cookies, cupcakes. We've tried the following thus far: * Prime rib. Absolutely loved this! Accompanied w/ tasty au jus sauce & creamy horseradish, the generous prime rib is so tender, flavorful, & just melts in your mouth! The homemade mashed potatoes w/ chunky bits of potatoes & creamy butter were very silky & delicious! Loved the popover to soak up the au jus sauce. Can't go without mentioning their amazing yellow-colored house dressing made w/ turmeric, orange juice & seasonings that complemented the tossed veggies well. * Ribeye katsu. Crunchy panko exterior & tender ribeye make this dish so delicious! * Beer battered shrimp w/fries. Succulent fried shrimp w/a perfectly delicious spicy aioli dipping sauce & crispy fries. * Adobo pork belly musubi. Tasty musubi w/ the shoyu-vinegar flavored pork adobo complementing the rice perfectly! * Ube bread pudding w/ salted caramel sauce. So heavenly, as it's a perfect marriage of the salty sauce to a sweet dessert! * Filipino lemonade. Not overly tart or sweet, this refreshing drink w/ calamansi puree & bits of diced pineapple. To ensure freshness & quality, Chef Ron makes only a limited amount of items. As their popular items, especially the daily specials, sell out quickly, it's best to pre-order in the morning to reserve them for pickup later. Check Instagram or Facebook to see the latest videos & photos of what the chef is making each day. Prices are a little higher but are well worth the cost for high-end, top quality offerings. Private catering is also available. Customer service is amazing here! You'll meet Rose, Chef Ron's wife, when you place your order & pay for it. She is very friendly, accommodating, personable & eager to please you. For example, as I was taking pics of the refrigerated items, she asked if she could hold the fridge doors open so that I could take clearer pics! And if you're unsure as to what to order, she'll give you a rundown to help you make a choice. She'll engage in small talk with you, as you find out more about her chef husband & the philosophy behind the restaurant. Then you'll notice how super clean the restaurant is! OCR is in a bright orange building & is a tenant of the Hawaiian Chip Co. (HCC), that is directly across the street. There are no tables or chairs, so this is strictly take-out. Open Mon to Sat, 10a - 3p. Free parking in their 8-space parking lot fronting the restaurant, w/a few additional parking spaces at HCC. Loved OCR as a great top-quality take-out restaurant where you can find high quality local food dishes that are normally found in a hotel restaurant or exclusive club! We'll be back for more! read more

Fantastic lunch! Unexpected stop after going to the Hawaiian Chip Company. We were waiting for our ready made to order chips and saw Olena open across the street. We were excited to see the various dishes on their lunch menu. We got the red wine beef stew, blackened ahi sandwich and adobo pork belly bowl! All were delicious! The taste & portion sizes were great and service was fry and quick! Definitely stop by with an appetite! read more

I have been following Olena on Instagram during the pandemic and lockdown. A few weeks ago I finally tried their Prime Rib Thursday special. I ordered four meals, one for myself and the other three for my daughter, son-in-law and grandson. Rose who answered the phone and took my order was so nice and helpful. The order was ready for pickup the next day and my son-in-law delivered my meal and took their's home. Everything heated up well and was delicious. What a treat! I highly recommend their Prime Rib meal with that delectable Popover on Thursday! Fine Dining for reasonable takeout. I plan to try their other delectable food offerings! Highly recommend! read more

OlenaHi - Prime Rib! Delicious! - Salad Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

The food here is delicious! We had the rib-eye katsu and beef stew with potato mac salad and rice and calamansi lemonade with butterfly peaflower and finished with the brownie bites. The ribeye katsu was tender and moist. The beef stew was flavorful and brings me back to good home cooking. We don't like any type of Mac salad because it usually has too much may BUT we really like this Mac salad!The brownie bites are so chocolatey and moist. The calamansi lemonade with caramelized pineapple bits is the perfect blend of citrus and tropical. Adding the butterfly peaflower to the lemonade was a cool visual color changing effect. The bonus was the sweetest and friendly lady that helped us make our choice of plates today! Thank you, you're a sweetheart! We will definitely be back here before we leave!

Ok...whoa! Came in with no expectations and was wowed by every single thing we ordered and the service! They do take out, phone in orders and also have a grab and go section. What I learned about this place. They have been open about 2 years. The chef is Filipino but French trained- you can definitely taste the quality and training in the dishes. Definitely get a Ohana (family) vibe here. Rose was at the front taking everyone's orders, she's a fun little firecracker! She made me and my boyfriend smile and her hype lived up to the food! You really can't go wrong with the dishes here. Everything we ordered was a 5/5 stars! Pork belly adobo bowl with brown rice (so happy they have brown rice as an option). The quality of that pork belly was amazing! Lemon grass chicken bowl in brown rice. So fresh and tangy...so perfect. I didn't feel bloated and heavy after. Seared ahi (auction grade). Found in the grab and go section. You watching your weight? Need to get that extra protein in? Do yourself a favor and GRAB this! $8.99 Filipino lemonade. (Calamansi and pineapple I think?) I normally don't like calamansi, but this was refreshing and not to sweet like most lemonades. Had my sister and family head over the same day, and they were so grateful we passed along this hidden gem. If you are visiting and staying in Waikiki, it's definitely worth the 12-15 min drive. My boyfriend said this was the best thing he had on the island and we have been here for a week already! read more

The best fish and chips on the island resides here. I walked in to the Dole Cannery shopping center on a nice day off of work, with no real plans. Saw this nice little restaurant, and a very friendly owner, Rose, greeted me. With the fish and chips I ordered a royal Filipino tea which was amazing with the fish and chips. The fish was fresh caught mahi, and had a great bite and was not oily at all. Plenty of food too. The owner was kind enough to let me try the banana poi too which was delicious. Fresh and fluffy. Just like me after eating all of that. read more

We had the fish and chips and the brisket. The brisket was absolutely amazing. The flavors were complex in the meat was very tender. The fish and chips were delicious. There was nothing left on our plate afterwards. We enjoyed the pineapple tea and that was very refreshing as well. We finished it off with a delicious, soft peanut butter cookie. This may look like a cafeteria, but this food is high-end restaurant quality. read more

Our relationship seems strained... Aloha Craig, Have you ever worked in the food industry? Do you understand the logistics, time, and love a small mom and pop business go through? Do you know our red wine beef stew is our top seller? Do you know the slow cooking techniques and organic fresh ingredients that goes into making this stew? Do you know about French cooking and the time and love that goes into our stew dish? Do you know our olena rice is more aromatic with finest coconut milk, spices, and fresh lemongrass to complement the braised proteins so it blends the natural flavors from fresh hand sliced onion, garlic, carrots, and onions? Do you know we do not use msg or other additives and preservatives? Do you know chef does not utilize any short cuts and spends more time prepping and cooking in the kitchen than sleeping or playing? Did you know or care that there was no flour in your stew so it is healthier and more nutritious using organic tomato paste and fresh vegetables? Do you know you could have come to talk to us and we would have had you try our other chef prepared items and made sure you were happy with our service and product we pride ourself in? Although we appreciate constructive feedbacks, your yelp review is heartbreaking and unsettling after a long 14-16 hour work day, 6 days a week with high expense in labor, rent, tax, and food cost. Please consider your end goal before you decide to strike your opinion on a small local business. Mahalo. 'Ōlena read more

WOW! Wish I took a picture but we could not wait even for one bite. Thursday night is Prime Rib night, came with buttery mash, Popover au jus/gravy and some power-packed horseradish cream. Oh and a salad with wonderful dressing! My Breville smart oven did a reheat on our med-rare meat for 12 minutes at 350 and it just warmed it to oven temp with full pink intacted. It was a five star meal at any restaurant and beef was quality too! read more

So nice I had to have it twice. Would've had it more times for the short stay. Can't go wrong with anything here. Stand out items were the Adobo, Brisket (don't forget to add Olena Rice!), and Fish and Chips. Banana Poi bread in all flavors is absolute fire and all of the drinks went well with everything. Rose and Rob are so welcoming and gives the run down on their creations. Best part since it's in the Dole Cannery there's plenty of seating and other shops to visit while you're in the area. Make sure this is your first and last stop before when you're visiting! read more

We found this place because my dad was craving fish n chips. Rose was helping us and I gotta say I haven't seen service like this in awhile. She was so friendly and kind and went out of her way to help us. You could say she was like an old Auntie you hadn't seen in awhile. I wish Olena was located in my neighborhood so i could go there more frequently but I guess I'll have to make my way to Oahu to talk to her again. Obviously the food was amazing. We bought the chocolate banana bread loaf and it was delicious, def my favorite after the fish n chips. We brought a screaming toddler with us and she gave him some banana bread bites which calmed him down and had him asking for more. Love this place, thank you Rose! read more

First off, the customer service is without question 5*, and actually beyond. Rose is like the cool hyper enthusiastic auntie that seems to know everyone in the neighborhood. Super welcoming, helpful, and understanding. The food was a nice change of pace from the usual standard plate lunch fare everywhere else. The fish in the fish & chips was moist and tender on the inside with a delectably crisp exterior, well seasoned, and comes with a sizable amount of fries. Pieces are on the smaller side, which increases the batter:fish ratio to a nice degree. For the price though, it feels like it could've used just a bit more fish, maybe a piece? I understand market price can fluctuate a lot, and there's inflation/etc, but still... Pork belly was tender and tasty, not too heavy with the included bright crunchy slaw. Tried it with the Olena rice, which was flavorful, but I'd probably go with the sando or regular rice next time for more contrast to the pork belly. read more

First-timer at Olena by Chef Ron and the fish and chips are the best ever I've had here in HI. Fresh, crispy, good portions and served with malt vinegar, lemon wedge, tartar sauce; talk about choke options! Initially went to pick up mango poi bread because some friends at Egan's Bootcamp raved about how delicious it is and they were right. Bonus points for the ono bread to wrap up my meal. And Wendy is such a delightful person and has great energy! She is the epitome of extraordinary customer service. She represents! Much gratitude to the young man from the back of the house who came outside the door to hand me my order in a bag ready to go. Nice clean cafe with baked goods visibly sprinkled throughout the front service area. Very enticing. Now I know where to take visitors for lunch. Chef Ron is definitely a top contender for my future catering needs. Rare to find a chef who masters sweet and savory. Overall, great food, awesome service, and an amazing experience! read more

We happened upon this little gem of a place on our way to Costco. Rose, the no-nonsense personality behind the counter, makes a wicked chai latte. We only tried the chai and banana-poi bites (very moist and full of banana flavour) today, but we'd want to make room for a full lunch next time! read more

This review is specifically for their Filipino Lemonade (Calamansi drink in Tagalog). Olena was at a Pop Up event at Ben Franklin Crafts, pre-Covid. The event was outdoors/indoors in August so you can imagine how hot it was! Olena's Calamansi drink really hit the spot. The calamansi fruit is kind of like a lemon, but much sweeter and milder. What I really liked was that Chef Ron caramelized fresh pineapple bits and added that to the Calmansi drink to give it a more tropical taste. The calamansi and the caramelized pineapple was the perfect pairing for a refreshing drink. Even though this drink isn't cheap, $5 for a small cup that was mostly ice, I would not hesitate to buy it again and again. That's really saying something since I'm usually all about getting the best value for my money! Lol. I didn't get to taste their food because I wasn't in the mood for the things they were selling. After reading all the great Yelp reviews on them, I will have to visit their store location, especially since they seem to offer more variety at their actual restaurant. read more

Cyndy's Bottom Line: Fresh, healthy and delicious! Chef Simon strives to prepare fresh and healthy ingredients to nourish your body and soul. I really enjoy the food here because of the quality of the ingredients, everything is made fresh daily and it is so healthy and delicious. I love the salads because it is made fresh daily and the ingredients are sliced so perfectly and julienned in nice bite sized pieces. The salad dressings are delicious and flavorful. You can easily order online, phone in or text in your order. I usually stop in to by a supply of grab and go salads for the week or the blackened ahi salad. *Cyndy Tip: always get a banana poi bread with your order. Today, I got to taste the green matcha with honey and soy milk drink. OMG what a freshing drink. So good you will want more! Mahalo Rose!

I had it bookmarked on yelp for a while, but finally trying it for pick up during COVID. Close to the McDonald's on Nimitz and down a street that seems like it would just be warehouses. Their menu alone should easily impress and intrigue you. The food was delicious. I personally tired the pork adobo bowl with the olena rice, brisket musubi, pork slider (on another recent occasion, which I don't see on their menu), and lemongrass chicken banh mi. Their pork belly adobo is very much melt in your mouth fatty, in the best possible way. I wasn't sure what the olena rice was but paid extra to try it was it was worth it. It's basmati rice soaked/mixed with tumeric, lemongrass, and cinnamon. Also my favorite was definitely the lemongrass chicken banh mi. Highly recommend trying this place. Tip: if they run out of musubis online, I added one on in person when I went to pick up. read more

Rose is the sweetest person, very honest and kind. She provided excellent service and thoughtfully answered questions about ingredients and preparation of food and drinks.

Delicious assortment of refreshing beverage options that are healthy too. read more

My coworker has been raving about this spot for months and we FINALLY made the trip out to pick up lunch! Located off Nimitz, its a short drive from downtown so pretty convenient if you work downtown! They don't have inside seating so you're best bet is to order to go! The people that work here are fabulous. The two women in the front are hilarious and had the best recommendations! I would come back just to talk story with them! I had seen amazing photos of a Philly cheesesteak sandwich but when we got there we found out it was only a special that they didn't have all the time! Oh well, plenty of other options! I opted for the burger plus cheese ($1.50) and Parmesan truffle fries ($5). By the time we got back to our office (ten minutes) the bottom of my bun was completely soaked and very difficult to pick up and eat! However, it was super tasty and I actually really liked the barbecue sauce and pineapple slaw! The fries could have been a bit crispier and a bit more truffle esque but all in all a very yummy lunch!! Next time I definitely want to try one of their empanadas (they were all sold out for the day!) and one of their tasty desserts! read more

We looked for a casual place to have quick bites, and stumbled on Olena. Pork Rib, Olena rice and chocoholic cupcake are outstanding, so tasty, so local, excellent customer service too. The Chocoholic cupcake was fantastic. I usually don't eat cupcakes because they taste like pure sugar and nothing else. This cupcake tasted like high end chocolate. The cake itself was moist and held together well. They told me it was only their second week selling cupcakes, but this was obviously not the Chef's first attempt.
