Walk…read moreto the back of the store and you'll find the "Original" Nutty Hawaiian Company, roasting only the best Macadamia nuts grown in Hawaii. They also roast almonds and pecans, but the best seller is the Macadamia nuts. Most people who buy the nuts become addicted! This company knows what they are doing! Kevin Valera, owner of the Nutty Hawaiian, is the "Master Roaster" and is always open to share his knowledge of Hawaii. Just don't be fooled by another company in San Clemente, CA, called "The Nutty Hawaiian." They are not owned or affiliated in any way with the original "Nutty Hawaiian" company from Hawaii! They are a knock-off company that took the name of a well established business in Hawaii and used it without the authority of the owners of the Nutty Hawaiian in Hawaii.

Went to Ted's everyday that I was staying in the North Shore and everything we had was delicious…read more For breakfast I loved the spam egg and cheese sandwich, so good! We also tried the loco moco which was great, but it's quite a bit of food. I shared with my partner and we weren't able to finish it. One of my friends who used to live in Honolulu told me I HAVE to get the garlic shrimp and Ted's is where it's at. She was absolutely right about that!!! Best garlic shrimp I had on the trip. I wish I could go back just for the plate. We also tried the chocolate haupia pie which was delicious & the plain glazed was soooo light and fluffy. Plenty of parking in the lot & access to a public restroom. It can get busy but they're very quick with your food. Seating is outside under an umbrella.

I didn't think it was too sweet especially for the hour I went and got this. It's almost a little lighter than a cheesecake consistency wise so I think one slice is actually more filling than you think. It could be shareable. But the whip cream balances out the richness nicely. Loco Moco: 4/5 - My first official loco moco! It was quite tasty! Definitely a hearty meal and this one is good to feed two people easily my god. Realistically great for the price. Service: Fast during the time I went. The line was short in the morning but once I got my food it was out the door. I'd say however it moves quickly. There's plenty of seating. They even have an extra back space where the restrooms are. They have a parking lot but most people parked on the road probably assuming there wasn't space. Glad to have tried a classic!

When I asked the guy which one he recommended the Colby or the Terri steak, the guy didn't hesitate and told me that KB. I can see why. It was very soft and well cooked, well marinated. Very melting in your mouth kind of delicious. Sweet soy Flavors. Spicy poke fried- $20, amazing spice and cream, with fully cooked ahi. Comes with two scoop of rice and side of spicy Mac mayo salad. All the wonders of spicy hippo, but fully cooked, which was very nice for me. As with any plate lunch place, I wish they had more vegetables in their plate to reflect the recommended vegetable intake, which is half of the plate, but that's for any takeout. Wouldn't mind seeing some green though. Overall, very impressed with the quality of food and wish they would come in town more often.

We had to try the hype!! But I hate to say it--we were actually pretty disappointed…read more My other half ordered the Braised Boneless Kalbi, and I ordered the Furikake Salmon. Unfortunately, the Kalbi wasn't good at all, and my salmon was burnt, overly salty, and covered in way too much sauce. I felt like the flavors were really overpowering. There was also an aftertaste that reminded me of airplane food or old cooking oil, which was not very pleasant. I really wanted to love it because of all the hype, but unfortunately, it just wasn't for us.

There's something special about a place where you can immediately feel the warmth and aloha. The food was absolutely delicious--fresh, flavorful, and clearly prepared with care. Every bite was enjoyable, and we left completely satisfied. But as wonderful as the food was, what really made our visit memorable was the customer service and friendliness. Everyone was kind, welcoming, and attentive, and that personal touch made us feel right at home. The ambiance was wonderful, too. Nani's has a relaxed, comfortable North Shore atmosphere that makes you want to sit back, enjoy your meal, and take your time. It's the kind of place where the experience is just as important as the food. We've eaten at many places, but it's not often that the food, service, atmosphere, and genuine hospitality all come together this perfectly. Mahalo nui loa to everyone at Nani's Cafe for making our visit such a wonderful experience. You can tell that the people there truly care about what they do and about the customers they serve. If you're anywhere near the North Shore, make Nani's Cafe a stop. You won't just get a great meal--you'll get a warm dose of aloha, too. We will definitely be back!

Not sure if this is a family-owned food truck, but the gentleman taking our order was super helpful with recommendations, and the young lady who served us was awesome.

You just don't get that kind of personal service everywhere anymore. Hands down the best smash burger we've had in the area, and probably better than any smash burger I've had on the mainland. Definitely support local and check them out. We'll be back!
