Amazing hole in the wall spot with huge portions and solid kalua pork and Hawaiian style BBQ plate. My husband and I came here after snorkeling and wow did this place hit! The customer service was phenomenal and the food was delicious. We came to Hawaii in search of the perfect Hawaiian bbq plate and we found it here. I wanted to try the poke nachos with kalua pork and they did not skimp on the toppings. Their spice rub for everything was delicious and the owner let us sub out from the combo plate since we weren't a fan of lomi lomi. Definitely coming back. read more

Kehau's Kitchen has SERIOUSLY GOOD FOOD! If you don't know, BETTER ASK SOMEBODY! My 5 star review is paired with their professionalism, efficiency, and aloha! I was able to order a catering order for a big event and everything was on time and excellent. Communication was top notch and again, they delivered on flavor, presentation, and aloha. Go in person! Eat here! Or order out and share with your 'OHANA! Thank you Kehau's Kitchen! Thank you Dayna! read more

Stumbled upon a tiktok video of the poke nachos and they did NOT disappointment. Also, tried the chorizo tostada and it was delicious (just a little greasy but the flavor was there). The service was great! We will definitely be back to try other Mexican food. Kamakaze Poke nachos: 10/10 Chorizo tostadas: 9/10 (would have been 10/10 if it was less greasy) read more

Updating my review to five stars. I stopped by today for the first time. A young gentleman greeted me and handed me the menu. I ordered an à la carte of the shoyu chicken. The order consisted of 3 pieces of boneless chicken thighs and lots of sauce on the bottom. I hadn't eaten shoyu chicken in quite awhile and must say this one hit the spot. Tasted just right! Real homemade. Customer service won me over. This young man was on-point in every way; not only in serving the customers, but I got the impression how much he took pride in his job. He hardly stood still. Great and relaxing ambience. I was hoping to see the business owner. I'd return again. read more

This is the closest we could find after our Pearl Harbor visit. Of course we always check yelp ratings and reviews. We have been craving Hawaiian bbq so this was a unanimous choice. It took us so long to decide on what to get; for some reason the menu didn't help with this task. It didn't make the food appetizing whether it's the description or pictures. Food was delicious. I understand this is a favorite among locals and that's what we look for. The place is very casual, quiet, and clean. Pretty easy to find and it has plenty of parking spots available. read more

This place is good. I like getting the poke nachos from here. The best and they give you your money's worth of poke. The guy helping me and my boyfriend out was nice and accommodating. They also sell Mexican food here which is a must try. It's a small restaurant so be prepared for a wait on the weekends. If you go on a weekday it isn't so busy. I definitely like when it's not so busy. The food is good here and there's plenty of parking up front when it's not busy. read more

Poke and sliders were the bomb! Super nice service too. Our whole party loved our meals.

Look at this big beautiful thing, that is the poke nachos! WOW!!!!!! It's huge. So keep that in mind when you're wanting to have a snack. Because it could easily feed 2 people (or one person a couple of times). The won ton chips taste homemade, not store bought, which is sooooo good. Mouth watering, just thinking of ordering this again. We ended up doing take out, because the place looked a bit crowded (it is really small). It was still fresh and crunchy (chips) when we got home. LOVE IT. read more

While in the area, I found this place. What got my attention was the feel of local and not tourist. The place was very clean and the service was very friendly. She gave her recommendations on some of the items they're known for. We went with their spicy ahi poke bowl and pork nachos. The ahi was good but seemed to be missing something. The rice, it came with, was very tasty. As for the nachos, I'm a bit mixed on this one. The chips were not your typical corn tortilla chips, the cheese and sauce was good but the pork just didn't seem to go with it. Although I'd recommend this place and may eat here again, it wouldn't be on my top places to choose from. read more

11/15/25 Got here for an early dinner, about 5ish and the place was empty so we had our pick of what table to sit at. We were greeted by a nice young man who brought us the menu and water right away. It had been a long time since I'd been here and my friend and I were hankering for some Hawaiian food. We each selected the same thing, the pork laulau combo - pork laulau, lomilomi salmon, haupia, and pulehu chicken for $25.95. The plate also comes with rice, which we did not want & opted for the poi for an additional $5.95. When my friend told the waiter she didn't want the rice, to leave it off, he told her, well it comes with it anyway. She didn't want to argue with him so she said ok. Which is weird because why give the customer something they do not want on the plate?!? It was a short wait and when the waiter brought our food, it was already in a take-out box. When I opened the plate, everything was wrapped or in containers except for the rice. The laulau was wrapped in foil, which is expected and also the pulehu chicken was wrapped in foil. Haupia and lomilomi salmon was each in small containers. A nice surprise was the poi. I expected a small container like other Hawaiian food places do, but we were give a bigger container that had at least 1/2 cup+ of poi. It got kinda messy trying to undo the foil from the entrees, especially the laulau because after you peel off the foil, then there's the ti leaf. The laulau tasted ok, not too much fatty pieces but not dry. I was disappointed at how small the portion was though. For the price of the plate, I would have expected a little bigger laulau. The pulehu chicken had some good flavor. I've never had plulehu chicken & it was ono, lots of flavor with a little bit of kick. They give you 1 piece of boneless/skinless thigh, about 3-4 oz. The lomilomi salmon was good even though these days everybody chops it up in minced sized pieces. Haupia was thick and creamy. For the rice we ended up taking home, it was a huge scoop, like 2 cups of rice. The poi was nice and sour, like how I like it. Usually when I get poi at restaurants, they give you fresh poi. When we were done, the waiter brought the bill and we asked if we could split the check. When he brought the new check, we noticed it was a cashless payment and there was nothing for us to sign nor to leave a tip? So we ended up leaving a cash tip. Overall, the food was ok, just wished we had more on the plate since it was a pretty pricey plate. The restaurant is clean and the service was good, friendly wait staff. read more

Stopped by for some Hawaiian food....but ended up with Mexican. The laulau was still cooking and I was hungry so I changed up my order and went with the chorizo burrito. Glad I did. The burrito was very tasty and was packed with meat, rice, and beans. It came with a side of black beans and Spanish rice. Difficulty now will be deciding between Hawaiian and Mexican food on my next visit. Service was excellent. The young man was quick with water service and was very attentive to our orders. read more

Extremely slow service full of issues. Came in, wasn't very busy inside but the person in charge of taking orders and packing to go orders was overwhelmed enough to suspend taking orders for over 15 minutes. In the time that my order was finally placed (after 15 min of waiting) and received (another 20 minutes later, for poke entrees aka requiring no cooking), the poor woman who ordered before me still hadn't received her chicken quesadilla. The issues with today's service were not completely on the woman at the front, as she had to go back to the kitchen to continuously ask for things to be ready, but the cherry on top was parts of my order being incorrect. At that point, I resigned myself to not finishing my food and going somewhere else capable of delivering on what they promise. Wouldn't recommend anyway, as besides the long wait and order inconsistencies, the food was mediocre. read more

Everything in my order was $33 and the meat in the Lau Lau was tiny. The price for what you get is really expensive compared to other Hawaiian food restaurants. The taste of the food was also not the best. It wasn't terrible but it was extremely salty. Saltier than other Hawaiian food restaurants. The poi also tasted sour, which I didn't like. The haupia though was really creamy and yummy. Service was fine, but it's weird that they serve everything in take out containers for the dine in folks too. Overall, I'd say it's too expensive for what you get and the food is sub par. 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

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

Kehau's Kitchen - Kamakaze Poke Nachos - Hawaiian Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

Freshest tuna perfectly trimmed and the best chips and poke nachos on Island. Great customer service also.

Cashier Gloria was very rude. We came in like a little after ten, and she said, "we aren't open, maybe at 11." Came in five minutes before 11, people were seated and already eating. When we ordered, I asked if they do half poke and half kalua pork nachos. She grabbed the menu and said what it was called. I said we will do one of that and she asked what flavor we want. I kindly asked what flavors are available, as it was our first time. I told her the spicy, she didn't hear and said "it comes with different flavors if you want with shoyu or spicy". I had already said spicy, so I was confused on whether she was referring to the poke or the kalua pork. I said I'm confused, but I'd like the spicy for the poke and she proceeded to put it in. I was born and raised here, and for a place that wasn't busy at the time, this interaction was rude. I was kind to her and my appearance is well known I'm local given my jewelry and such. read more

Interesting Mexican and Hawaiian menu. Ordered the Kailua pork and kamakaze nachos, chicken long rice and squid luau. We were the only ones there but then people started coming it. It's a small place. The Kalua pig and kamakaze poke was delicious. The chicken long rice had more noodles than anything. And squid luau was definitely different. The green sauce was savory. read more

Located across the Pearl ridge shopping center next to 7 11 and KFC in a small shopping center. We decided to get some Mexican food, we tried the local food there and wanted to try their Mexican food. I ordered the burritos plate which was pretty big and came with Spanish rice and black beans. The burrito was tasty with kalua pork meat and the sauce was tasty and spicy. The Spanish rice was okay it lack the taste and wasn't moist but more on the dry side. The black beans were good. My wife cheese quesadilla was on the okay which was a good size portion. Service was great and friendly! Parking lot is a good size but gets crowded during lunch time as some cars were blocking other cars while they went into grab items from 7 11. Restroom is at the other end of the building which you need a key to use and is shared by all the other tenants in the shopping complex. read more

There's reasons why Kehau's Kitchen is highly rated on Yelp because there food, and quality is TOP notch. Service was great and food were overall delicious. The ahi here was super tasty and fresh--the poke melts right in your mouth as you bite into it. We had poke nachos and poke bowl. By far one of my favorite poke spots I've ever tried. They also offer other items on the menu but I was on a mission lol. Kehau's is also in a a little plaza so parking is easy. Definitely worth the visit. read more

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.

I was skeptical when I first walked in. It's a tight space, hole in the wall next to one of the more famous restaurants KimChee 7. To be honest I never actually heard or noticed this place till after seeing a viral post. Anyway! We came for the poke nachos and Mexican street tacos, oh and I was on the look out for pastele stew but they were out. The nachos were huge, I mean enough for atleast 4 people. The street tacos were ono, I wasn't a big fan but we enjoyed it. But the elote was amazing!! I went back twice since last week to get my fix and both times it hit the spot! Oh and the 2nd time I was able to get pastele stew that came with rice, haupia, grilled season steak and pic de gallo!! Hit the spot!! read more
