E. Luncheon Meat
Karlo G.

Great spot for a grab and go meal. A friend had recommended this place for breakfast and lunch plate and I decided to give it a try. K & K Kitchen is a take out restaurant serving quick and affordable comfort food. Their menu has sandwiches, burgers, side dishes, plate lunch, and even specials. I ordered their luncheon meat rice plate with 2 eggs over easy. Serving portions were generous especially for the price. The luncheon meat had a nice crisp around the edges and absolutely filling. Service is fast and I received my order within minutes. Lunch time is definitely their busiest time. Getting to this takeout spot can a little tricky, however worth the trek. Street parking is limited and getting finding a spot may require a couple of circles around the block.

Corned Beef Hash Breakfast Plate. Eggs over easy. Cantonese style Fried Rice.

"Ambition is a dream with a V8 engine." - Elvis Back on the rock for work and woke up 1st of November jonesing for local-style breakfast (iykyk). K & K Kitchen on North School St. in the heart of Kalihi popped on my search at 7:00am. TBH I'm not sure if I been here before, well at least at K & K, because I've definitely been in this Google Map ping: been to Mexico Restaurant and been to Helena's. Oh, I even purchased a used car from the old Pake man in the lime green house.. with roosters all ovah from Kuya's yellow house next door. Déjà vu all over again lol. Parking easy peasy at 7am, but I can imagine all da Hammajang parking after roosters crow. All good just look for the bright blue building! 7am ain't early in Kalihi as I'm third in line just beating out the Construction Bruddahs in lifted To-yoda. I was about to order when auntie at the counter picked up the phone before me and of course it was an order of twelve tutu breakfast plates. Luckily she yelled my order to cook before submitting phone orders or I'd still be waiting lol. So, no need ack. Anyways, I ordered Eggs over easy, corned beef hash, upgraded fried rice. Breakfast plates average in the $10-$12 range, however with my upgrade of fried rice it was north of $13. All orders are made to order, so guarans you'll be waiting on the side. After a few minutes in the Kalihi morning sun my order is ready. Heavy! K & K is take-out, so after a short drive I enjoyed the massive corned beef hash, crisp on the edges and succulent inside. The fried rice was Cantonese style, so yesterday's Char Siu for flavor and tasty. Worth the $2 upgrade! In the end, K & K Kitchen in Kalihi was definitely a good choice for a hearty local-style breakfast you won't find at the mall. Don't expect fancy or the word "culinary" here... but if craving a simple breakfast that's delicious and will feed you til tomorrow this is the spot for you! Lastly, make sure to season your plates before leaving! K-bye! Pls follow my IG adventures: @eric_travel_guru

Did you grow up with the Manapua man that drives the grey truck? Did you know they have a restaurant and this is it! They're located in Kalihi. You can find them across where they park their trucks. Parking is limited, but the times I've gone, I have gotten lucky and have parked right in front. I'm not quite sure how many cooks are there, but it sounds a like maybe one or two. The girl who takes your order is nice and food comes out in about 10-15 minutes after ordering. We ordered the corned beef hash and it was great! We also ordered the orange chicken and wow, those were some big chickens with some great flavor! We also ordered the loco moco and it was one of the best loco mocos we've had. My son got a cheeseburger and guess what it came in! The yellow wrapper! The old school wrapper! IYKYK! We will be coming back as regulars to try more things!

Corned beef and eggs over fried rice
Gabriel P.

If you're a rice eater the Deluxe Breakfast is for you. Bottom of the takeout tray Is loaded with white rice. It's topped with two eggs, two slices of spam, two thick slices of Portuguese Sausage and two slices of bacon. I ordered my eggs scrambled. The eggs were over done. You place your order at the takeout window fronting the building. Service was ok. The building itself is old and parking is a hassle. It was a good thing that my wife was with me. She stood in line as I waited in the car. Overall good price point. Enjoy

Omg so good we got the mini breakfast and upgraded the rice to fried rice. Best fried rice everrrrrr like butter garlic taste!! Quick service good pricing, no seating.

P8. Garlic Chicken Lunch
Kainani K.

This is a busy place and parking is a little tough. However, the plates are packed and definitely worth waiting for. My husband wanted to try the garlic chicken and the plate was heavy! The chicken pieces were boneless and huge! They also didn't skimp on the rice which is a good thing. I didn't want rice but my plate was still really big! I had two pieces of hamburger steak, scrambled eggs and gravy. The portion was definitely enough to fill me up, and I had extra for later. I'll definitely be back to try the other plate lunches when I'm in the area.

Fried pork hash
Jason M.

K&K kitchen is on school street in the old Mitsu-Ken spot, this guys plates are massive and worth the price! We got so much food for $70! Tried the garlic chicken plate with fried rice, steamed pork hash and fried! And the fried chicken with fried rice because they ran out of noodles by 11am! anyways good food and super affordable prices and the service is fast and friendly. And you can order ahead on the website so by the time you get there it's ready to go!

Chicken katsu Galbi
Rose B.

Everything was very good! We ate outside. The chicken katsu was fresh and crispy. Very happy we went here.

Sandy N.

Ended up at this place by accident but it was a great eat and affordable. I got the deluxe C combo and it's more than enough for one person could even share with two! I got fried rice instead of regular white rice. The fried rice has sausages in it so extra meat also almost like a garlic fried rice taste too. I would come back next time for a quick breakfast.

Early birdies gets the eats... No it's not a special but a special place with awesome prices and cooked to order breakfast. K & K has been on my radar with Nadine C, Paul C and Fran C and though it has one of the best early morning hours to grab your breakfast it is on busy N School Street with little to no parking. Since it was Saturday I tried to get there as early as possible though there's no traffic there's always someone there waiting for their order so I just parked next door for quick dash. Looking over their breakfast plates ranges $7.50 to $9.00 but it was the mini that I was interested in at $4.25 it wasn't even a question, simple and easy regular white rice, Portuguese sausage and scrambled...I'm very basic when it comes to breakfast but what a deal! Service is friendly and very fast as this tiny nook serves sit all including other savory items like chicken and pork chops but don't let the vibe here deter you as it's a great deal to fill you up with costing extra. Thank you!

Menu on food truck
Lily F.

I heard from a state employee that food truck comes on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Tiime is 11:00 am. Location is in front of state parking structure across from Hawaii Educational Federal Credit Union (233 S Vineyard St). Truck has name of food truck. Menu is a big selection. Employees could be son and mom who speak Cantonese. My coworkers and I got there 5 minutes before 11:00 am. There were other people who work at state building came in line. Everyone was happy that there was another business to buy food from. Our order was pasteles stew, garlic chicken, and Lau lau. Pasteles stew regular plate has 1 scoop Mac salad and 2 scoops rice but mini had 1 scoop rice. Pasteles stew and Mac salad good. I look forward to trying them again next week.

After getting my blood drawn this morning my husband said saw this place on yelp and if you like go we try um. So we went for take out breakfast. I had the corn beef hash breakfast and my husband had their deluxe breakfast. Came home and my eggs wasnt over easy it was over hard. The corn beef hash was lacking something my husband said salt taste. I agree. I switch it up to fried rice instead of reg rice and it was Chinese style fried rice. The corn beef hash was big covers almost the whole plate. Lol. My husband deluxe breakfast was 2 bacon, 2 spam, 2 Portuguese sausage with scrambled egg. He said was good. Maybe I've should have ordered that or stick to my mini breakfast. They do make it fresh so when you place the order you have to wait. The breakfast is cheap in prices and they give alot. They located in the place where the old mitsu Ken okazu was located on school Street. Support them if you want a big breakfast.

I've tried quite a few different pastas, so I'm probably a little picky when it comes to them. For me, the price also felt a little high for what we got. The highlight for me was definitely dessert! I ordered Dorie Greenspan's Chocolate Cake with ice cream. The sauce contained alcohol, so I asked for it on the side, which they were happy to do. I ended up enjoying the chocolate cake with the ice cream, and it was really good. My husband ordered the Rocky Road, which I know is a popular dessert there, but we both thought it was just okay. The restaurant itself is really cute and had a great atmosphere. It was pretty busy when we went, which definitely gave it a lively feel. Overall, I'm glad I got to try Fête, but based on the pastas and desserts I've had elsewhere, it wasn't a personal favorite. The chocolate cake was definitely the standout for me!

Baby ate some but think she wanted more cheese. Tasted better the next day. Friends had the Prime. The temp on each was given to the wrong person, which needed to be right since 1 person didn't get the roasted pot. The medium-rare one was cold. Like COLD. Strange. Overall think they fell a little short on the food. Some things GREAT, some thing the opposite, so balanced out. Will I go back? Of course, but now I know what not to get.

It's the table and space is very spacious that you don't have be afraid of been squished with other people. Besides that, they have a pretty good selection too! Price is reasonable with the portion of the food is serve. Miso Butter Fish 5/5: I will never be tried of eating & ordering the miso butter fish. It's definitely one of the best butter fish in a non-Japanese restaurant. It's buttery, with the perfect level of the miso flavor that's not salty or blend/no miso flavor. The fish it's cooked into perfection that's not overcooked. Although it's pricery compare to other dishes, but it's worth it; especially the butter fish is a pretty big size that comes w/ salad and rice. Grilled Garlic Chicken 4.5/5: The garlic chicken is not the same as a regular garlic chicken that you get from a barbecue restaurant; it doesn't have that barbecue sauce flavor. However, it's still taste pretty good. The garlic flavor is there, but not so strong that over power the taste of the chicken. More importantly, chicken is not overcooked as some restaurants can overcook the chicken. However, it comes w/ gravy on top of the chicken. If you eat it w/ the gravy, you probably will it be able to taste the garlic. Mac Nut Waffard 4.5/5 This is not the regular waffles. This "waffard" it's the Mac nut waffle that comes with their iconic custard, fruits and whipped cream. The waffle is super soft & fluffy with a crispy outside edges. Also, the waffle is not mushy, rather, it has a slightly mochi/chewy texture. The waffle is also not over sweet that actually can be pair with their famous custard fillings. Pancakes 5/5 I normally not a pancake person because I am afraid that it can be over sweet or very bland that has no taste but a flour flavor. But I fall in love with the pancake at first try because it's soooo fluffy and soft! More importantly, it's not sweet that actually can be paired with syrup and butter. However, it's also not bland that can be just eaten by itself without syrup or butter. Hands down on it! Plus, the size of the pancake is actually pretty big.

Ordered the Milk tea bouquet cocktail while my better half had water ( either way the food coma knock him out cold the rest of the night lol). To be honest, it was difficult to determine which dish was the best because the staff kept quality there despite it being busy every night since they announce the closure. Sashimi moriawase, fish was so fresh, reminded me of my time spent in Hokkaido and Sapporo. Short ribs was soft and rich in flavor. Both me and my fiance liked the lukki lemon dessert, like lemon meringue pie but broken down version.
