They have the freshest, yummilicious Acai Bowls. They come in 2 sizes, $6.50 snack size (6oz) and regular 12 Oz for $12.50 if your not a fan Acai, they have sorbet flavors coconut , Acai, strawberry and my favorite Mango. Aside from the usual sliced fruits there's a plethora of add-ons you can sprinkle on top of your bowl from Chia seeds to Caramel drizzle. Their on site schedule is on their website if you want to know where to catch them. If you happen to see one parked, I would definitely stop by and order one of their Acai Bowls, they're worth it & perfect on a hot island summer on day.

This is my first review of 2026!…read more Tonight I enjoyed the sticky rice with chicken anticucho and it is my favorite meal of 2026 so far. The chicken thighs were beautifully seasoned and slightly charred. The meat was cooked all the way through yet still juicy with bone in thigh. The purple sticky rice was perfectly done and I love the texture of sticky rice in general. The plate also came with sliced cucumbers and pickled mustard greens (reminiscent of Vietnamese pickled mustard greens - but in a much more vibrant green color). My favorite part of the meal was the tart and aromatic sauce that came in the meal. If you're not a fan of lime juice and fish sauce, you may want to use sparingly. However, I was thoroughly enjoying the sauce and when accompanied with a bit of the mustard greens, it toned down the sour aspect of the flavor profile. Overall, so delicious and I would love to find them again and enjoy more of their menu items!

Navigating Oahu's mobile food scene means knowing where to look. Khao and Papas is one of those…read moreitinerant food trucks with a constantly changing dynamic schedule, popping up in another place almost daily. Using Yelp's Mobile Food Trucks search will identify them but you need to use another app to actually find out where they are. I ran across them on a weekend in my neighborhood and stopped by. The food is a fusion of Peruvian and Laotian by husband-wife team, Juan Ching and Kim Thepsenavong. There is a long history of Japanese cuisine fusing with Peruvian - it's called Nikkei. But other Asian cuisines, especially Southeast Asian, also blend seamlessly with Peruvian staples. Think about the heavy use of pepper and spice in Laotian cuisine. You've been in restaurants where the heat scale is hot, Thai hot, and Laotian hot. Peppers were only introduced into Southeast Asia in the 16th century. Peru is one of the recognized birthplaces of peppers, with over 300 varieties and a 7,500 year history of cultivation. Peruvian Laotian fusion works when you do it right. I had a beef anticuchos skewers plate with Laotian accompaniments. The anticuchos had a nice smokey sweet dark color from aji panca paste. The rice was Laotian, with black and white grains of sticky rice. There was pickled Laotian som pak, a vinegar marinated mustard cabbage. A fine blended salsa-like jeow mak len, full of charred tomato smokiness, savory paedek fish sauce, garlic, shallot, bird's eye chiles, and lime, was terrific on top of the marinated beef. I hope I run into Khao and Papas again one day so I can try their grilled chicken. Until then, I have the memory of a fine take-out plate of Peruvian Laotian fusion comfort food.

As simple as it may sound, this place executes flawlessly. Smart choice to use ribeye for reliable quality. The steaks have a nice char to them. Perfectly cooked to whatever you choose, whether it's medium rare or well-done. I was lucky enough to have the steak and lobster special and the lobster was cooked so well. Not dried out. Buttery.

We decided to try the traditional, which is just shipped in granulated sugar, a custard filled and a chocolate filled. These are not like regular donuts, l although say first glance the look like regular donuts. Malasadas are very eggy--almost like a wet custard pastry, if that makes any sense. I don't like weird textures, and while I did like them, the texture was a little on the custom of "iffy" for me. Hubby really liked them, and they tasted so delicious. Note of caution: they didn't seem to be the same the next day. The eggs texture made it seem kind of "wet" the next day, so the one we saved ended up in the trash. I'm giving it a five because they tasted delicious, and the texture issue is MY weird thing. Everyone else seems to love them, so I'm going with that!

The thousands of reviews are spot on. It's become the crown jewel of Kaneohe restaurants. If you…read morewant to impress your family and friends with restaurant recommendations in the area, this should be your #1 spot on your list. I've seen their menu evolve over the years. They have settled in on a simpler menu, but they do everything well. I figure I can share some important tips: 1) Highly recommend calling your order in. Otherwise, you'll be waiting a long time and clog the parking lot. 2) Use the Yelp Reviews to determine what you can/cannot modify. But hence why calling in your order is recommended. 3) If you plan to order late, I don't recommend ordering less than 30 minutes before closing. They get bombarded everyday, so they might close the kitchen early to fulfill the remaining orders. They may squeeze you in, but again, this is the benefit of calling in your order in advance. Bottom line: Call in your order in advance and you'll be rewarded with an amazing meal!

Found them at the former Chi-Chans Okazuya location at Kaneohe. It's for takeout, no tables inside…read more They do have a nice selection of comfort food like pancit, pork or chicken adobo, dinuguan, pork guisantes, lumpia, and desserts as well. They also have packaged snacks they sell too. Greeted immediately by the guys behind the counter, my daughter and I already knew what we wanted, so we got the fried rice adobo, pork adobo and pancit to go. When I say comfort food, after one bite I was brought back to when I was little and my mom making these for us. I'm looking forward to going back and trying their other offerings. It's good to have a Filipino food spot in Kaneohe instead of driving all the way down to the Leeward side. Visit them and try it out for yourselves.

Lunch in Kaneohe, Oahu, Hawaii…read more.. While driving along Alaloa Street, passing Windward Mall, I noticed a food truck with a lot of people around it. Thinking that there must be Good Grindz there, I made a U-turn and parked behind the truck. YumYum TumTum is usually in Waimanalo (by Bellows), but on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, they're across from The Plaza at Kaneohe. Service is excellent. The two workers in the truck are very personable with the "aunties and uncles". They inform each customer about the ten to twelve minute wait-time since each order is made fresh! Because the Pancit was sold out (and the banana lumpia), I ordered the Garlic Rib Eye Steak... whoa... Da buggah was Beeg!!! I couldn't finish it! Made with the "secret special rub", the Garlic chips and onions were Broke da Mouth! The meat was tender and juicy! I enjoyed the koge edges of charred fat! Mmm! I should have ordered the BBQ chicken skewers, too... and the halohalo... welll... I'll just have to return... And go earlier before the Pancit runs out!!!
