The menu
Dolan T.

So today went shopping at seafood city after we went here cause I wanted to go yesterday but the close on Monday. Food was really good service was great, I was happy with it. Not sure if the have a restroom in there. Probably outside, just have to ask. But other than that it's a good place to go eat. The problem is parking.busy place. But worth it if you in Waipahu and like Italian food and Vietnamese coffee or the tea. Mellow place

Chicken Alfredo
Michael R.

So far so good. I've been here three times so far and everything is delicious. I really can't make up my mind on what's my favorite. The chicken carbonara for sure is a 1000% must get. Chicken is tender, the Alfredo sauce is just enough to coat the pasta and dip the bread into. If one complaint it's there is no eggplant parmesan. The owner explained that it's rarely ordered a the veggies go bad quickly since he makes everything fresh. I can respect that. Overall five stars. Large plates at reasonable prices. The place is very clean with plenty of seating available M

Half chicken Alfredo and half lasagna
Chanel A.

This is my go-to spot when I'm too tired to cook and craving a creamy, carb heavy meal. As a fast, casual pasta spot, there a few tables for dine in but we usually order our pasta to-go. The chicken Alfredo is a must have. I appreciate that they put in a bit of spinach so can I feel a bit healthier with my giant plate of pasta. If you're feeling extra hungry, you can even order it as a half alfredo, half lasagna.

I first saw this place on social media and knew I had to try next time I was in the area. I saw the guy order a shrimp Alfredo and they didn't exactly have it on the menu but the guy working said he'll make it for me. They seem to be very accommodating with what's on the menu. Great service and willing to provide recommendations. The food was good and portions were huge! It was definitely 2 meals for me. I would definitely come back again. The shop is a little small and tucked away in a small center. A little easy to miss but I was able to find it fine with GPS. There's free parking in the lot.

Misty Combo (Chicken Fratelli and Lasagna)
Angel C.

Probably some of the best Italian on the Westside! If you love and miss JP Spaghetti in Wahiawa, Fratelli Express in Waipahu is pretty similar. No frills, walk up to order, but you get fresh Italian pasta dishes served in takeout boxes. Hubby and I finally had lunch here a few months ago after I heard rave Yelp and Instagram reviews from TOWNIES. You know when townies are willing to make a drive to Waipahu for food, that says something. We shared the "Misty Combo," a combo plate of the Chicken Fratelli and Lasagna. Sauces and meats were flavorful and the pasta was cooked al dente! Funny that either rice or linguine are options for dishes...really catering to the local community, I see lol. We washed our lunch down with their refreshing plantation iced tea. When I'm craving Italian from home near Waipahu, but don't feel like cooking, Fratelli Express hits the spot! Love that they're BYOB and their operating hours are great (makes for a great, simple date night), but they're closed Mondays. Find them next to Nanding's Bakery!

Inside
Dianna R.

The food, price, and portions are all good. I came because I thought pasta plate lunch was funny, but it is better than some more expensive places. They have been open for a year and 3 months so far. Very good place that I will come back to. Service is good, but the inside is very mom and pop. It is warm, but they said most of their orders are pick up. Ample parking. The inside is quiet.

NY steak and shrimp scampi combo
Barrie H.

Small hole in the wall restaurant in the old Cho Dang spot next to Nandings in Waipahu. This was our first time here and it wasn't bad, honestly. Friendly service and average prices, food was hit and miss. We read the raving reviews and maybe our expectations were too high which explains the slight disappointment in some of our choices. We ordered the chicken alfredo and lasagna combo ($20.90) and a NY steak and shrimp scampi combo ($26.90). Food came out relatively quick - but we were the only diners at this time so hard to say if this is the norm. There were lots of to-go orders though. Best dish: The alfredo sauce was good! Creamy, cheesy, seasoned well and served over linguine noodles with pieces of chicken. The lasagna looked to be a good size and it was cheesy but... The sauce had a strong tomato forward taste and was not our favorite. Kinda bummed since we really like lasagna.. just not this one. The NY steak was covered in mushrooms and onions with a red wine demi glace. I asked for medium rare and it came closer to medium. The steak could've used some seasoning, even though its sitting in the sauce, the lack of savoriness was noticeable. The scampi came with 4 shrimp and choke garlic and was served on linguine noodles. The butter was on the bottom under the noodles so it was much better if you mixed the noodles first. Bread does not come with the plates, so don't forget to order it like we did. And no, they don't do cheesy garlic bread. Overall we give this place a 3.25 out of 5 . Try it, you may like it.

Ravioli
Rayne U.

Popped in on a late afternoon to an empty store. Greeted by friendly employees who didn't make us feel rushed. Placed our order and ran next door to grab some baked goodies from Nandings bakery. There are about 5 tables in various sizes to easily sit 25-30 people. Clean, organized dining area. Ravioli consisted of about a dozen pieces swimming in a juicy tomato sauce. Simple but enough to hit the spot. Seafood combo had clams, mussels, shrimp & calamari rings over linguine. Chunks of garlic but it still seemed a little watery which may have contributed to some of the lack in flavor. Lots of menu options that I'll be back to try! Oh... and they packaged our to go meals great!

Love this place. It's a hidden gem with amazing Italian food. Stopped here with my wife after a doctor's appointment and found this very friendly restaurant. The food was oh so tasty - the fried ravioli was soooo good. Coming back again to try other combinations

Bro- be sure to check this place out!!!
Teri Y.

Wow! Excellent! Simply excellent! I've never been a big lasagna person ( cray I know) but I am now, as long as its Fratelli's lasagna! The wonderful meat sauce with ricotta. To die for! Ordered the misty special so came with chicken basilio. Very garlicky and a little on the dry side but just swish it in your lasagna sauce and you are in pasta heaven! The garlic bread- crispy outside with soft center. Pan fried. Truly perfect! Mom had the shrimp portabella. The portion was huge, which made her very happy. Large and generous with the shrimp and veggies on linguine tossed in a white wine (?) sauce. Addictive! One man show on the day we were there so short 5-10 min wait but all orders done with care. Very nice man who was working hard. We will be back to try many of the great choices.

Ordered through DoorDash. Generous, garlicky shrimp scampi! Buttery grilled garlic bread. So happy to receive this quality meal so close to closing. Mahalo!

CK carbonara and lasagna combo
Zaneta O.

Got to try dis place yesterday. I tried da combo lasagna and chicken carbonara combo. Mom and Aunty both got shrimp portobello because they wanted "vegetables". Anywho, the carbonara was creamy and cheesy. Yum. I only ate that half and ate the lasagna half later at home, which was equally as good. Mom and Aunty loved their food but ended up eating only half because they gave so much. I think the guy that took our order was the cook as well and he was very patient with the nana's I had with me cuz they couldn't make up their mind. Cozy space where you can eat order at the counter and find a table. The food came fast. If in the area I would come here again.

Rose H.

Great experience! We ordered 5 different dishes and honestly they were all amazing!! The fish was cooked perfectly, the meatballs are homemade, but what took the cake is the Alfredo and Garlic Bread!!! Must get must try!!! I knew there was something special with this place when they knew exactly what I meant by pink sauce. My entree was amazing!! Simplicity to perfect pasta!

Neighborhood spot in Waipahu for almost 50+ years and this would be my second time and my parent's…read morefirst time to dine here. Parking is accessible when you go at a certain time but sometimes it does get full when between peak hours. You could tell that the restaurant was remodeled and still has that neighborhood family charm. The service was exceptional, and because it was my parent's first time they were rewarded with some extra food that they can handle lol. They got the teishoku 1 and 2 choices and of course the sashimi, which I enjoyed the most, fish is fresh and melts in your mouth. Parents got the miso butterfish and Teri chicken. The staple, I really enjoyed the service at Kunis and oh they have a bar too that you can order some tequila. The real reason my dad agreed to come and eat out lol. Per my mother, there is no military discount, but for birthdays they do take $24 off the meal.

We asked our local friends where they'd recommend we go for a birthday dinner. They recommended…read moreKuni. On your birthday, you get a complimentary meal (I think it was up to $24?). We ended up ordering 2 two-choice meals but our selections had upcharges because they were "premium dish choices." So instead of my meal costing $36, since I ordered the ribeye, it would be an additional $6. They don't have any sushi or rolls here. Just bentos. And they don't give it to you in a traditional bento "box" like we're used to. Everything comes out separately. The teri chicken and the beef ribeye were amazing. I don't think I've ever had such delicious beef ribeye or teriyaki chicken before. Not sure if it's just really high quality meat or they have some magical way of preparing it. Scrumptious. Despite having a free birthday meal of up to $24, our meal was still quite expensive despite not getting any drinks or desserts. I think after tax and tip, it was around $80 out of pocket. Yikes. Fortunately Husband's work was paying for it, and fortunately it was his birthday so it took off $24 but wow. Good thing the food was yum!

Show me the meat…read more When you want a great meal but don't want to drive into town, this is a great alternative. There's plenty of parking for cars but not so much for people. The tables and chairs are spaced just enough to walk through. There is a happy hour menu but that only applies at the bar area. Main dining is full price. But whatever you get it's worth it. For me, it's a tomahawk. Just the right amount of meat to crave my animal appetite and just enough fat to make it taste great without feeling guilty about clogging the arteries. Besides this meal last me a couple of days. Sides you will never go wrong with anything. Overall four stars. Food, service, atmosphere is good. Date night, family night, any celebration, you won't go wrong here. M

This was the site of my 40th birthday dinner, and we were not disappointed!…read more My family and I often dine next door at Laliha Bakery and the food is incredible. Knowing that they are the same owners, we decided to try Little Joe's steakhouse for dinner. We made a reservation for 6 PM and when we arrived, the restaurant was already crowded.The hostess led us to our table , which was a nice four top, even though there are only two of us. It's nice and dark inside and instantly gives off those fancy steakhouse vibes. We were greeted right away by a polite and prompt server. He took our drink orders, and I had a glass of red wine. I ordered the Caesar salad and my husband had the clam chowder which was really good. We both ordered the boneless ribeye and a side of mashed potatoes and mushrooms. Everything exceeded our expectations. The ribeye was flavorful and delicious. The sides were incredible, especially the mushrooms. Everything was cooked to perfection! The only underwhelming this was the caesar salad. It was a little watery and didn't have a lot going on with it. But the croutons were homemade and yummy. Because it was my birthday, they gave us a free scoop of gelato. Yay! We paired it with the chocolate cake and it was the perfect ending to our meal. Don't hesitate to book a table here for your next special event.
