Sorely disappointed! While They were short staffed, waited ~35-40 min for a sub par meal. Mac salad was nasty/old and chicken was dry... thankfully the kahlua pork was good. The chicken tacos were good, meh rice n beans... read more

Stopped here for dinner immediately after landing in Oahu. It's a humble "hole-in-the-wall" type of establishment. The woman who took our order was very nice. My friend and I split the surf and turf nachos (poke and pork) and they were absolutely delicious! One of my top 3 favorite meals i had the whole week I was in town. The portion was more than enough for the both of us, we even had some left over. read more

Me and my wife are on vacation headed out to see and pay our respects at Pearl Harbor. Wanted to grab something local to eat. Saw this place. Great reviews. Food is amazing. Definitely a sleeping giant treat yourself the chicken the rice the pork on top. read more

This place is AMAZING!!!! Oh the flavors, the depth of the spices. You can taste the time the meats have taken to marinate and cook. The poke was so fresh and the way they combined it with the pork was unbelievable. Even the nacho chips had the most amazing flavor to them. This plate was so big you need to share!! The street tacos are the best I have had here!! Service top notch, they made my food personal for me, with spice level that would satisfy my soul. Love the little dinner ambiance, wanted to take pics but was in a rush due to my work schedule, but trust and believe I will be back!!!! All his pics of him picking out the fresh fish super cool! One of my Top fave places now!!! read more

The restaurant is in a little run down area, but the restaurant itself is very clean & has a great atmosphere when you enter. Right when you walk in the staff are incredibly nice & welcoming. They tended to us the whole time, answered our menu questions, kept our water filled, & really showed us an excellent time. The food was absolutely increase. The fish was authentic, fresh, and made to order. The chips for the nachos were even homemade & excellently fried to perfection. Adding the Hawaiian chili pepper water, which they make in house, right before eating a chip, was so good(the staff recommended we do that). The blend of flavors from the sauces was truly incredible & I tip my hat to the team that blended them together for this amazing dish. I didn't bust out a scale, but I trust they were correct when they said it was a pound of tuna. Had I not come straight there after the gym, I would have split 1 serving of the nachos & gotten some sides to share. I've written this review about a day after eating here & I haven't come down with any food borne ailments(proof that the fish was really good). 15/10 recommend going out of your way to eat at Kehau's Kitchen. read more

Kehau's Kitchen - kamikaze poke nachos - Hawaiian Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

Had this place booked marked for some time and was excited to try some items I've been eyeing. I really wanted to like this place but it fell short for my friends and I. We were so excited to try the poke nachos but when it came out it did not look like the pictures on yelp. Instead the poke was drenched in sauce to the point that you could not taste the chips or fish. The plate itself is a really good size and there is plenty of poke but they overdo it on the sauce I couldn't even eat it. I ended up fishing the poke out and taking that home and leaving the chips and sauce behind. Squid luau, I've been craving this as I always do and this definitely fell short. Lacked in flavor and the flavor that was there is sweetness. Very little chunks of squid I think I had 4 total. Staff was nice and we were seated right away. The restaurant is a bit smaller but there was a pretty consistent flow of people going in and out. Probably would come back to try something different if I was in the area. read more

If you're traveling through the area, this spot is absolutely worth a stop. The food was fantastic, full of flavor, and clearly prepared with care. It's one of those local places that truly adds to the travel experience. We'd happily recommend it to anyone visiting and would love to return the next time we're in the area! read more

Yummy food. I got the soy and the spicy poke I had the time of my life. Great service too!

Super Ono Yummy award winning Kalua Pork and other classic Hawaiian Plate lunches & Hawaiian-Mex plates too! All of this presented in a casual simple down home eatery where the food is the true star. Excellent friendly personable service from our host that treats you like family, even for the first time! This restaurant is a true gem located in the middle of a the big Westridge mini-mall in Aiea just up the hill from Kamehameha Highway. Crowded parking lot out in front, but worth the drive over for sure! The menu is pretty varied, but we found their Kalua Pork to be an absolute standout with excellent outstanding smoke aroma and fall-apart silky smooth texture! The Kal-bi ribs were terrific too.. still moist after being flame broiled with their sweet savory marinade. The Lomi Salmon was great as the perfect contrast to the delicious meats and perfect moist Japanese rice. We can't wait to come back again here! read more

I was craving Hawaiian food so I decided on Kehaus Kitchen. A friend said it was a good place to eat so I didn't think anything bad would happen. The service was personable and friendly. The food that I ordered which was the smoked meat plate was delicious with a tasty potato salad. The bad part is that they forgot to add in the poi which we paid an extra $5.95 for and discovered when we got home when we opened the Kalua pig plate. If I have to open take out packages to check if it's right then I'll just go to Youngs Fish Market which does really good accurate orders. The restaurant was empty - we were the only ones there so the mistake was very careless. read more

Server was friendly and helpful! She asked if we had any questions twice and no rush! It was my first time here. I got the poke nachos. The server suggested I get just the poke nachos which comes with two choices of poke, instead of getting the kalua pork and nachos, since my dad's plate had the pulehu (beef) ribs and kalua pork, which was a lot! The wonton chips in the poke nachos were a great change from what regular nachos come with (tortilla chips.) I was forewarned that the kamakaze pork was sweet so I appreciated the warning. The spicy ahi wasn't too spicy. My dad had the pulehu ribs, kalua pork, and haupia. The ribs were flavorful, not too sweet or salty. The kalua pork was tender and smoky. The haupia was fine. You can't go wrong with that. Overall a decent meal. I see some negative reviews and am glad our experience was great! They have a good variety on the menu. I think you have to try this place at least once! Everything was good! read more

Kehau's Kitchen - Hawaiian Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

Let me just start off by saying I had really high hopes for this place because the girl on instagram rest hyped it up... Service: The aunty behind the counter was kinda friendly I mean she had her moments. Maybe it's just dry humor but I kinda didn't like how she came off at times. Or maybe just language barrier. We ordered, I know I said loudly what I wanted which was the special with the Laulau... when we got our food I didn't get my laulau. So she took my plate back and brought it out later. My other half ordered the short ribs, which took pretty much the whole time to cook, we were done eating by the time that came out. To which another man comes in and ordered smoked meat with Lomi salmon... aunty gives us HIS plate instead of the short ribs so we tell here "this isn't ours... we ordered the short ribs" she gets so confused and goes oh yeah I know..... (ummm why did you give it to us then?). Food: So I'll say out of everything we got, the poke nachos were the best. Despite the service and whatever that was probably the only good thing out of this place. NEVER get the poi. It's definitely refrigerated chunky and sour. Now I don't mind sour poi but the texture was hella nasty, and usually when you eating at a restaurant sour poi is a negative! The laulau was alright. We also ordered chicken long rice, but aunty came out and told us the cooks in the back said it tasted nasty, so we canceled that pretty fast. The Kalua pig was alright. Nothing great. Needless to say all the food was mid. Ambiance: it's a small whole in the wall restaurant, located across the only bed bath & beyond. Next to 711. Parking is easy, lots of it. It's also on the bus line if you don't drive. Maybe you'd have better luck coming here and trying their food. I don't think I'll be coming back. read more

Haven't been here in so long --- but I was craving poke nachos! My favorite item is the Surf n Turf (Pua'a to de Poke Nachos) which comes with half spicy ahi and half Kalua pork on freshly fried wonton nachos. Very yummy! I just remember the ahi being fresher, but we did come during the night. The portion was very large - enough to feed 2 people for $25. The staff is always warm and friendly to us. Ample parking. Pay through QR code or up at the counter. read more

Lord have mercy I've been wanting to go to Kehau's kitchen so badly. It's constantly popping up on my social media feed and I knew...I just knew this was a very special place. The menu is huge. You can fill your craving for Hawaiian food AND Mexican food. The servings are huge. I got the kamakaze poke nachos and that buggah was 12oz of poke!! Lol I held my chest eating it, it was awesome. So many places give you ahi that isn't as fresh and cost a bunch of sauces on it but I've got to give it to them, their ahi was freeeeesh. Lemme give you a short and sweet summary of the logistics and ratings: Parking: Free, right outside the restaurant. Inside: Has limited seating somewhat, the place was packed! Food: 4/5 (mostly because it's a little pricey but that's the price you pay for fresh and good food) Service: reasonable. read more

I had my last meal (for now) here during our last day in Oahu before heading to the airport. I had the Surf and Turf Poke Nachos, and it was so good! Portion size is HUGE and price point is affordable. I still dream about this poke nachos every now and then. They use wonton chips as nachos which makes it crispier, tastier, and holds the kalua pork and tuna much better than a regular nacho chip. I chose the kamikaze sauce which was sweet soy glaze + spicy mayo that added more umami to the dish. Tuna was fresh and huge portion and kalua pig was tender and flavorful. My partner had the tuna/kalua pork kamikaze rice bowl which is also delicious and huge portion. And Auntie on counter was very hospitable and friendly. Ambience is casual and clean. Located on a strip so theres parking lot in front of the stores. It's less than 10 min drive from Pearl Harbor and less than 8 min drive to the airport. Will definitely go back here again! read more

I felt hungry and wanted an early lunch before 11 and walked around Westridge Center and saw Kehau's Kitchen open. I was intrigued by the mix of Hawaiian and Mexican food. I decided to try their Hawaiian food this time around. I got the beef stew combo with pulehu chicken, lomi salmon, haupia and rice. The stew was on the watery side but I liked that it wasn't overly salty or sweet which bugs me about beef stew at other places. The lomi salmon was freshly made so I enjoyed the slight crunch of the onions. Once again that wasn't too salty either so that's a plus. The pulehu chicken was wrapped in foil which I thought was odd but it did help retain moisture and it wasn't dry. The haupia was great with good coconut flavor. Service was friendly and maybe 20 people max can sit down inside. I'm curious to try their Mexican food and a friend recommended their poke nachos after finding out I ate there. read more

I'm not feeling well today, so I wanted to eat Chicken Long Rice. I used Uber delivery. I was going to order from Zippys, since Chicken Long Rice was a special today, but you can't order specials through Uber. Their normal delivery cost more too. So, I searched for Long rice on Uber and Kehau's came up. So I ordered. First, I didn't know it was ala carte meaning no rice or a side dish like salad. Second, there's hardly any chicken. The last and worse thing is that there's no taste! Taste meaning it lacked ginger ‍‍‍. There has to be the taste of ginger or it's not Hawaiian or local. Maybe the cook forgot to add some in?? Maybe the cook does not taste his food before serving it? Chef Gordon Ramsay said cooks/chefs should always taste their food. ‍Anyway, I warmed it up and added ginger plus a little shoyu for added taste. I guess Hawaiian food is not their specialty. I see a lot of Mexican food on their menu though. ‍ I could've cooked it myself, but as I said earlier I'm not feeling well. BTW, at least they followed instructions by not added green onions. That's a plus. Unless they don't add it normally ‍. read more

Kehau's Kitchen - Chicken Long Rice - Hawaiian Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

WOW! What a tiny hidden gem. You know it's good when it is crowded with a line of people waiting for tables. For most of our visit an adorable boy hustled his way through taking orders, bagging to go orders, and checking people out. I am sure he was relieved when his mom showed up to help with the crowd. They weren't expecting to be soo busy she said. I can see why tho. They serve Hawaiian and Mexican cuisine. I got the kahlua nachos. Holy cow. The dish was bigger than my head. lol. It was $20. But could have easily fed two to three people. I took 2/3's of my plate home. My sister got the rib plate with some meat wrapped in leaves and rice. Best ribs I have had...besides the good ole' pork ribs in the states. It had great grill marks that added a crispy grilled taste. It went so well with the sauce and rice underneath. She also got wet noodles I think. They were bland and I wouldn't order those. They have an extensive menu with something for everyone. It was a great experience and I would definately go back. If you haven't eaten here you are missing out. Go give them a try. The food won't disappoint. read more

Kehau's is a good Hawaii family style restaurant with good portioned plate lunches. :) At first the blend of Hawaiian and Mexican food left my family a bit skeptical, but as soon as we got our food our judgment shifted. The place was super busy and had some dishes sell out by the time we got there. I always take that as a sign of good food! :P We got the poke nachos, tripe stew, and kalua pork w/ cabbage. The portions are HUGEEE!! All plates can be shared between two to three people. The poke nachos were the best out of the three. Kalua pork had a really nice smoky flavor. Tripe stew was typical tripe stew. The sides of haupia were delish! :D read more

Kehau's Kitchen - poke nachos!! - Hawaiian Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

I've been waiting to try this place after reading some of the good reviews it got. I live in Kaimuki so when we were at pearlridge we decided to give it a try. Service was good, but the food didn't live up to the hype! We ordered lau lau combo, mexican street corn and a kamakaze poke bowl. First the corn...was not anything like I imagined mexican street corn would taste like. It was watery with no flavor. Lau lau combo came with their version of pulehu chicken, lomi salmon, rice and haupia... lau lau was average. Medium sized lots of luau leaves, the pulehu chicken was over seasoned with alot af black pepper, haupia had no flavor, lomi salmon was good with lots of salmon. And the kamakaze poke bowl previously frozen ahi smothered in some weird concoction sauce they make probly to mask the flavor of the fish. Granted it was previously frozen it was atleast 3 days thawed!! It had a very fishy flavor and the sauce was terrible.I don't know if they taste their food but I wouldn't go back or suggest this place to anyone. I was hoping the food was as good as the reviews said but oh well read more

Food was Delicious! First time here, staff was super friendly made us feel welcomed. I read reviews about parking being tricky but we were lucky today!
