Keiki 2 Keiki is there, so families will be walking to and from the car/shop. Great establishment, though it is not a sit down eatery. Take out only. Gals that work there are so friendly and personable. Thin inside really quaint. I felt like I was on a trip and popped into a country store. Lots to look at & purchase. Soup mixes, seasoned salt, baked goods. It is so warm and inviting and makes on want to buy EVERYTHING! The ham is exceptional! I can't get ham in a sandwich or plate lunch this good, anywhere on Oahu! The salad dressing is sweet and creamy and the salad pairs so well with the ham. The brownies for dessert are the perfect ending to a fabulous meal, if you have room in your opu to eat them! Or save them for later and do a little jig as every fiber of your being will be excited. If you are lucky, they may still have the best fresh cornbread. So soft, moist and fluffy. Don't wait until the holidays or when someone brings the ham to a party to awaken your tastebuds. Go get some, NOW!!! (And do a little hoilday shopping while you're there.)

The soup is wonderfully spicy with generous portions of flavorful ham. The corn bread is out of the world, light and fluffy, almost dessert. The clerk was aloha friendly of this locally owned shop. The shop also sells gift items and soup kits. I had my eye on several novelty kitchen towels. There are no tables to eat inside, nor are there tables outside. Everybody takes their food to go. There is free parking in their shared lot.

Parking can be found mauka of the blue building, and is shared with the Ho'opono Services of the Blind. Park in the stalls marked for Lanakila Kitchen on the makai side of the parking lot. What brought me here are the scones. The scones can be found in some stores include certain Times Supermarkets and Don Quijote, but you can find them freshly baked here. They are sold as singles, doubles and they also cater too. Our favorites include the Lilikoi & Peach, Mango, and Ube flavors. The scones are incredibly moist with a nice crisp crust. The scones are half the amount you would pay outside of the kitchen, and it's recommended that you come to pick up the baked goods in the early morning. What is also served here are Kupuna lunches to go. Prices range from $6 to about $12. They typically serve three dishes per day. The monthly menu can be found on their website. These are the same foods that are served through the Lanakila Meals on Wheels services as this is the kitchen that prepares those meals. There is also a vending machine that sells frozen meals if you'd like to stock up on frozen meals for your kupuna or even children. Although Lanakila Kitchen caters to the elders, anyone at any age can purchase a meal. My son order the $6 Kimchi Jiggae (Soup) that came with rice and mac/green salad. There is no place to sit, and it's set up cafeteria style. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Bring a bag as they don't sell any. Lanakila Kitchen and Lanakila Meals on Wheels is a great service to our community.

I used to buy their lunch specials selectively now and then, but a few months ago they temporarily…read morestopped serving these due to staffing issues. During that time, they continued offering the same menu items available to Kupuna for free (with valid ID). On October 1, 2025, the lunch specials and daily soup options finally returned. I was so glad to see and taste these again that I've been making a point to buy them the last few days. Included with the daily specials is a choice of white or brown rice, and either cooked vegetables or tossed salad. From the business: "Lanakila Kitchen also provides opportunities for people with disabilities to unleash their dreams, learning new skills and maintaining employment in the food service industry." The kitchen entrance is to the right of the main Lanakila Pacific entrance, closer to the corner of Bachelot and Kuakini Streets. Look for the glowing red "OPEN" sign when they're open for business.

Best Catering Experience…read more This year, I had to plan my company's 21st anniversary party. I literally looked up and found and communicated with EVERY caterer on this island. I am so happy I chose EAT HONOLULU The Good * Jocelyn was so EASY and FUN to work with, she was cooperative and creative with what I wanted for the party and even helped me out according to my tight budget * Not to forget to mention she's a certified wine sommelier - so she helped me alot with selecting the wines for the party * Both Jocelyn and Chef David were very knowledgable about their tastes and foods that when they'd tell me about the great options I couldn't help but get excited and pee a little in my pants because I LOVE FOOD! * On the night of the party, they showed up and prepared everything on time. I really didn't have to do anything that night which was surprising because I was expecting to actually WORK instead of enjoying the party. I GOT TO ENJOY THE PARTY! *Their whole staff was attentive, friendly, professional, and enjoyable. * This was an all-pupu party. *Beef tataki was hands-down my favorite *Caprese Crostini was so good too! The Bad * The size of my stomach because I WANTED TO EAT MORE! The Weird * Literally everything I set into my mouth at the party was so delicious (as dirty as that sounds.. but it's true!!) I received countless compliments on how good the catering was for this party, and it just reassures me that I went with the right caterer :)!

Do you ever tell yourself not to do something bc you know better but then you find a way to do it…read moreanyway? Yep, that's the story of my TWO visits here! Lol So the story goes: I was checking out my Yeep-friends' reviews, check-ins, photos, and tips when I happened upon my fellow Yeep Cin T.'s reviews about this place called, "EAT"! Her amazing review is what pushed me over to go find this place! Thanks so much for your awesome meat-burger-filled review, Cin T.!!! OMGoodness for the aiyaiyai-YUM!!! :D I'm more of a lamb, turkey, fish, and veggie type of eater and it looked like I could make it work here :D The food selections and review descriptions most obviously intrigued me so I took a screen shot of the business page and general Yelp photos for a reminder of what's offered and decided to go in search of EAT next time I'm in town during the week day. First Visit - As good luck happened, they were still open at 1:30 p.m. (for some reason their Yelp page said they close at 2 but there I found out it's actually 3! Yay!) so I ventured a visit. I easily found parking conveniently in the GENTRY BUSINESS CENTER nka NA LIMA KUKUI lot where there are a lot of stalls, and walked right into the complex. EAT was easy to find right at the front as you enter the main open entrance area. I actually wanted to try the SURF N TURF with turkey patty substitute (for their yummy Kulana Beef) but they already had run out of turkey so I allowed myself to be swayed into trying their turkey club and then add a side of their soft shell crab. I placed my order with a side of SHOESTRING FRIES and a REFILLABLE BOTTOMLESS LEMONADE. The wait was pretty long but I guess they make it hot and fresh just like Jack (in-the-Box does) so it was absolutely worth the wait. TURKEY CLUB with SOFT SHELL CRAB SAND ($8.99 + $6.99 = $15.98!? crazy ugh) My concoction (bc I made it up the chef said!) was deeeeelicious! Needed to eat it with two hands to hold it all together! The great thing about it? Once I was done, the other half was ready to go! More Y-U-M! :D The turkey was soft, tasty deli meat. It's got nicely-seasoned good taste but just not my thing unless it's freshly-baked turkey meat. FRIES ($2.90) were ahhh just OK. I'm a major fries person (I'll eat them with chopsticks or fork if no chopsticks!) and there really needed to be more plus they really need to be cooked until crispy. Perhaps next time I'll remember to ask for extra crispy fries! .) LEMONADE ($2.75) Pleasant, fresh, delicious lemony taste! Worth it if it's endless refillable! Lemons are good for ya! :) Second Visit - I called 15 minutes ahead and ordered just the SOFT SHELL CRAB SANDWICH ($9.99) (with POLENTA FRIES, $3.75) bc again ...guess what? They ran out of fresh turkey burger patties! Wimper :( but oh well - There's always another lunch day, right!? :D Besides, this was a very good opportunity to try just the soft shell crab by itself (as Cin T. suggested). When I arrived after 20 minutes, it was just about ready to go and off I went headed to my work meeting! Awesome! Except for one thing! They forgot my polenta fries and I didn't have any time to wait! :/ You would think I'd learn my lesson by now, right?! Nope! Both visits the soft shell crab was so delicious - not oily but soft inside, a bit crunchy on the outside with the taste and feeling of comfort food when you're chewing it going down into the depths of your happy stomach lining...ahhhhh...! If only they were open right now as I'm reminiscing..I mean typing this! Anyway, the happy news is that I'm definitely going back (for guess whaaaat? Lol!) but next time I'm gonna call ahead in the morning or when they first open to order that dastardly jk! turkey patty as substitute for their Kulana beef patty to make my personal lol TURKEY PATTY SURF N TURF ($13.99 for me one of these days! Haha!) and hopefully, just hopefully, I'll finally get to try their awesome crunchy gotta-have POLENTA FRIES! Letcha know what happens at my impending third visit! I guess sometimes you just gotta do what your tummy wants you to do! Hahaha!! :D

Tucked away on Mililani Street in downtown Honolulu is a bomb food truck serving up amazing lunches…read moreat a great price. Since it's wildly popular with both office workers and construction crews, the line can get crazy. You'll find a huge mix of people waiting out front, all praying their favorites don't sell out before they reach the window. But even if they run out of a specific item, it's easy to find a backup option because everything on the menu hits the spot. So far, I've tried their lamb curry, beef stew, boneless kalbi, hamburger, salmon, steamed seabass as well as some other items. To be honest, I haven't had a bad meal yet. To guarantee you get exactly what you want, your best bet is to show up right when they open at 11:00 AM because they regularly sell out of popular dishes by noon. The woman running the truck is lightning-fast at plating up the food, but definitely pack your patience since she manages the entire operation completely solo. Consider this my official due diligence in unlocking this gem to let the Yelp community know about this special downtown spot.

Mine had a bay leaf and other various spices, which I think are unnecessary for an onion soup. I've tried and made many onion soups and this one definitely was my least favorite. Bread and cheese were good. Prime rib was good, all the sides were delicious as well. I had the prime rib french dip sandwich and um... it is literally just sliced prime rib on some bread server with au jus. Nothing too special. Service was excellent. Cashier was very friendly and chef came out to thank us for coming there. Hospitality is a 5/5 for me, and made our experience way better. Everything minus the onion soup and the above average service was just OK. This place is a one and done for me.

5.0 stars Shaloha Pita is an absolute must-visit if you are…read morein Honolulu! We stayed for five days and ended up eating here three separate times--it is that good. Every single dish tastes incredibly fresh and clean. The hummus is remarkably smooth, and the pita is a game-changer. It is impossibly soft, almost like a cross between a classic, pillowy pita and a Hawaiian roll. If you go, do not skip the Shaloha Plate. The portions are huge--one plate easily fed me, my husband, and our toddler. To show you how much we fell in love with this spot: on our final day, we placed an order to take with us on the way to the airport. When delivery was running behind, we couldn't bear the thought of missing out, so we made a detour to pick it up ourselves before catching our flight. Having traveled to Israel and eaten at many fantastic local spots there, I can honestly say this is some of the best Israeli food I've ever had. Do not miss it!

I ended up getting a little bit of everything in a combo plate. It was literally about 5 lbs of food. And could probably feed 3-4 people! The fresh pita, fresh ingredients, and healthy preparation was appreciated. I wish the different components were separated somehow. It was difficult to separate the food for 3 people as everything was just piled into one takeout container. This meant hot and cold mixed making it overall lukewarm. Shaloha is directly across St. Louis HS. Parking is very convenient in a small lot that had enough empty spaces. Overall it was a decent lunch. The food if separated into hot and cold components would have made a huge difference in the overall impression and taste. Maybe next time I'll just get one thing and see if it makes a difference.

Did you know that Fishcake in Kaka'ako has various pop-ups at the front of their shop ahhhh yeah and what caught my attention was the sign for Panday Coffee placed right outside on the sidewalk but as I entered caught a whiff and saw DC Caterings in the kitchen area. Very minimal set up that it was almost a missed opportunity and I as I browsed at the menu options it seemed quite simple with just three options though it wasn't as it was Risotto! I just love risotto and the complex build is so yummy that I just can't believe the luck of this discovery and it was either Mushroom, Shrimp or Smoked Risotto choices and of course I was tossed between the Mushroom or Smoked he said that I could add meats/mushroom in either choices but stuck to the Mushroom Risotto which has shallots, garlic in the dish as well while it's finished with white wine and some fresh parmesan cheese I also chose to add truffle oil for the bit of bougieness and what a heavenly bite. As I chose to enjoy it there it was nice that he had it plated versus using a take out container and what a luxurious bite yet delicate as it was cooked perfectly as this unexpected find turned to a relaxing lunch along with my drink from Panday made it a nice break from my errands. Thank you!
