    This place in aktion, nice family awesome service ...... Well worth the trip to Kalhi

    Hawaiian chop steak made with ribeye.  Very good.

    I enjoy finding new places to eat for lunch and I'm glad I found this cute little lunch wagon located right across the Kapalama post office in Kalihi. So I came here on two separate occasions at a little after 1pm. On my first visit I ordered the hawaiian chop steak which I really enjoyed. I'm glad I was able to try it at a discounted price during their Super Bowl special cause now I know I would definitely buy it again at their regular price. They use ribeye steak so it was really tender, not chewy and hard to swallow like the ones they serve at other fast food places. Not many places use ribeye for their chop steak. I love the flavors and the steak and veggies were cooked just right, not over cooked. On my second visit I knew I wanted to try their steak and shrimp plate. So I called in my order and the lady asked how I wanted my steak done so I said medium rare. I arrived in about 10 minutes and they had just finished packing it. When I opened my plate I was kind of disappointed cause the steak was more like well done. But again, they use ribeye so it wasn't too bad. It was a little dry but still easy to chew and swallow and the seasoning was just right. The garlic shrimp was flavorful, not overcooked, and I appreciate that it was already peeled, which is my personal preference. It comes with 6 good size pieces. Most places give 4 or 5 with a steak combo. So overall this plate was still decent enough. I would order it again but hope that next time the steak is cooked to my liking. I'm sure I'll have more visits here. I really want to try their pot roast pork, hamburger steak, and fried chicken! And FYI cash only. Very friendly staff!

    I came for comfort food and left emotionally attached to pie…read more The chicken pot pie was next-level cozy. The crust was perfectly golden and flaky -- not soggy, not too thick, just that buttery, shatter-when-you-touch-it kind of crust. Inside was creamy, savory goodness packed with tender chunks of chicken and veggies that still had a little bite. It tasted homemade in the best way, like the upgraded gourmet version of something your favorite aunt would make. But the real surprise star? The strawberry banana custard pie topped with mochi. I did not expect to love this as much as I did. The custard was silky and not overly sweet, the strawberries added a fresh brightness, and the banana gave it that smooth, mellow flavor that tied everything together. And the mochi on top? Such a fun, chewy texture contrast that made every bite interesting. It somehow felt light and indulgent at the same time. Savory, sweet, creamy, chewy -- this place understands balance. I would 100% come back just for pie... and that says a lot.

Ordering was very easy. Just send a text to their number. They are on Facebook and Yelp. You can order already baked or frozen so you can bake yourself She also has a big pink truck and is at various locations around town. She also shares her story and it's very admirable. I'll serve with a salad tonight. It looks really filling! Finished baking straight from the freezer bit took 1 1/2 hours. Nice and crispy. Filling is tasty, not salty and it's full of chicken.

Yes, right in the heart in…read moreKalihi at Lei Lei's Bistro food truck at the corner of Mokuaea and Hau sts. that will be open for 2 years come March 2026. Owned by husband-and-wife team, Robert and Leah Roberts, both have always had a passion in their hearts in starting a bistro-style sandwich food truck. They left Spokane, WA to move here, with Leah's family and friends calling her "Lei Lei," which is how the name of her food truck came about. People were skeptical of their plan to open a food truck specializing in sandwiches, as they were told HI is a land of plate lunches and not of sandwiches, but they are serving a niche of followers. They serve breakfast in the morning hours that include: breakfast croissant, loco moco, and breakfast plates. Their lunch menu includes: patty melt; French dip; hot pastrami on rye; tuna melt; London broil; cracked pepper turkey, bacon, avocado with provolone; BLT; loco moco, smash burgers. They also do catering and offer sandwich platters. We've had the following as takeout: * Hot pastrami on marble rye. The sandwich also included fresh cole slaw with a house-made Russian dressing, and sautéed onions. Their most popular sandwich, it was delicious and filled with generous amounts of Boars Head pastrami, Swiss cheese, cole slaw, onions, and a creamy Russian based sauce using Leah's secret recipe. It was a hearty and filling sandwich! It came with generous amounts of addictive and freshly fried, crispy house-made potato chips! A free drink was included, and I chose a large cup of refreshing unsweetened iced tea. * Clam chowder in bread bowl. Because it was takeout, the clam chowder was placed in a separate container. The freshly made creamy chowder was very flavorful and loaded with clams, potatoes, bacon, round onions, and topped with green onions. The bread bowl was good, but you can't beat authentic sourdough bread from Boudin Bakery in SFO! No skimping on ingredients, and I loved it! Customer service is excellent and is extremely friendly by the two owners! Both are welcoming and ready to please! They know what the Aloha Spirit is and exude it to the max! Both are faith-driven and openly declare that if it weren't for God, they wouldn't be where they are. Scriptures adorn the food truck, and colorful stickers are used on their takeout containers. The open front passenger area of the truck has free Bibles for those wanting any. They advertise Hope Calvary Ohana on their truck, but when I asked if they were members, they said they were members of Anchor Church in Kaneohe, but they help to advertise Hope Calvary Ohana that is location right in back of the food truck. And diners are free to post personalized messages on colorful fish on their inner fence, as the fish symbolize abundance, evangelism, and discipleship in the Bible. Hours of operation are Mon to Sat 10a to 2p, closed Sun. Located in a busy corner of Kalihi, they have an advantage over other similar lunch take-outs, as they have around 5 free parking spaces on Hau St. The front of the food truck on Mokuaea St. is blocked by a wooden fence at curbside with two outdoor picnic tables if you desire to eat there. Love their food truck with actual colorful photos of their menu items! Lei Lei's Bistro Food Truck brings a nice change to the local plate lunch scene in Kalihi with hearty sandwiches and homemade potato chips and fries and clam chowder. Owner Leah and Robert look forward to sharing with you their Aloha Spirit, as I look forward to trying their other sandwiches as well. Congratulations to their business and wishing them continued success! Support local!

    I read Yelp friend Jo Y's impressive review of this lunch wagon so I added them to my Bookmarks. I…read morewas close by so thought we'd check it out. I remember seeing French Dip on the menu back then so that's what I ordered for myself with a side order of fries. My husband ordered the Teriyaki Pineapple Burger with a side order of fries. We also ordered the chips and Fresh Clam Chowder to share. My thoughts: - French Dip on a French roll with truffle aioli, London broil roast beef, picante provolone, sautéed onions and mushrooms, and au jus: I enjoyed this! Lots of meat and the bun was soft which is how I like it. When I brought it home and opened the au jus container, I thought they didn't give enough BUT it was...whew! Since I ordered a lot of food, I could only eat half a sandwich...tomorrow's lunch. Yay! - Teri Burger with house made Patty, a pineapple ring with teri sauce, mayo, red onion and romaine lettuce on the side: My husband was skeptical about the pineapple but said it worked and would definitely order this again. - Both the fries and chips were a little too burnt and oily for us so we'd pass on this the next time. - Clam chowder: I was looking forward to this with the bread bowl but they no longer sell it with the bread. They said the bread they could get was too small that there wouldn't be much soup. I ordered the soup anyway. It was thick with lots of clams, bacon and potatoes...very tasty! We ate only half so another leftover for tomorrow...yay again! FYI: - Located on the corner of Mokauea Street and Hau Street - They have about 5 reserved parking stalls in front of the gray bldg on the Hau Street side - Offers Military and First Responder discounts - Charges 3.5% fee for credit card payment - Clam chowder available Thursday thru Saturday or until sold out - Condiments located in the small black refrigerator located on the right of the food truck I want to try their smash burger so I'll be back!

I believe that they worker said, "I appreciate you!" Wow! That's very nice of him!

Unfortunately, they were out of collard greens, so ended up ordering a fried catfish plate with Mac & cheese and green beans. Man, I don't know if it was because I was hungry, but this was one of the best classic Mac and cheeses I had in a long time, and by far the best green beans I had. The catfish was freshly fried after ordering and was perfectly cooked and seasoned. At $26 per plate it is a little pricey, but it was about a meal and a half and the taste was excellent. I would suggest calling ahead to see what they're out of and to ensure you don't have to wait.

The noodles are plain no cabbage or any veggies not even green onions just some sliced char siu and it was a bit dry but satisfied a hungry appetite, and the pork hash was a tiny single bite size tease and the chicken is similar to a chicken fried steak as it's boneless coated with mochiko it was okay and I was just happy to have a budge friendly choice to start my day. Thank you!
