I ordered catering for the first time from Kehau's Kitchen for a potluck, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! I spoke with Dayna, the catering manager, who was incredibly helpful and guided me through all the options. I ultimately went with a pan of teriyaki beef--and wow, it did not disappoint. While it wasn't the cheapest option, it was absolutely worth it. The beef was tender, flavorful, and a total hit at the potluck. I especially appreciated that the meat came in bite-sized pieces--not just big cuts chopped down into tough, chewy chunks. You could tell care went into the preparation. I'm so grateful to have found Kehau's Kitchen and will definitely be ordering from them again. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for--and in this case, you get quality, flavor, and most importantly outstanding service! read more

Their Poke Nachos is really good. I had Lau Lau combo, and had some bite of beef stew. They were okay. The one biggest disappointment was the rice. Super mushy. The texture was terrible. It was like I'm eating dampened Kleenex. The rice ruined everything. :( Their customer service was really nice!!!! I'll go back to the restaurant just for the poke nachos! read more

I've been eyeing this Hawaiian restaurant for a while, but it was a bit out of the way. My boyfriend and I wanted to treat his parents to food, so this was a great time to suggest this restaurant! It's located in between Kimchee Restaurant 7 and 7-11 in the Westridge Shopping Center on Kaonohi St in Aiea. There's a huge parking lot with ample parking stalls. My boyfriend and I ordered the Kalua Pork Combo (forgot to take a picture) for ourselves to share and same order for his mom, the Lau Lau Combo for his dad, and a Kahune Poke Nachos for all of us to share. The poke nachos was really good! The chips were the thick deep fried wonton chips that many places in Hawaii used to make gau gee (deep fried dumplings). They were super crispy and had a nice crunch to them even after sitting out for 30 mins. YUM. The poke was good with a lot of sauces. I didn't think the poke was that fresh but the flavor was quite good. The kalua pork was really good as well! It had a light smokiness to it which I love in my kalua pork rather than not. The restaurant packed them really well in take out containers, so we had a lot of kalua pork to eat among the four of us. Overall, it was a good, different experience. The prices were quite high in my opinion so this would be a treat once in a while. But they do have a ton of options to choose from including Mexican foods (super random LOL) read more

This strip mall shop serves fantastic food! The waitress recommended we try a sampler with ribs, laulau, salmon, rice and pork. It was a ton of food and enough for 2 of us to split plus left overs.

Got takeout and tried the spicy ahi poke nachos, it came out to about $30 after tax. Overall, it was solid. The poke portion was generous, which helped justify the price. I especially liked the wonton chips super crispy and flavorful. Only thing I'd change is adding a bit more sauce, but I'd definitely consider getting it again. read more

My sister and I stopped for dinner not knowing much about this restaurant. We were pleased with their courteous and friendly service and impressed with their food. Servings were generous and dishes really tasty. We are definitely returning to try other menu items. It's a comfortable and homey setting with everyone very friendly and service oriented. This restaurant is worth a try. read more

Did some takeout on a weekday night and had an excellent experience. It's weird, the first time we came here a few years ago, it was excellent. We came again a year later and it was sort of a miss. But last week when we went again, they're back on track! I can see from their reviews they're doing things right. The lady at the counter was very friendly, and she gave us our takeout and my first thought was "whoa these bags are heavy!" We got home and everything we had was delicious. My wife got the laulau combo plate, I got the pastele stew. My only complaint about the pastele stew was that I wish there was more of it haha. We will definitely come here again! Check it out, worth visiting if you're in Aiea. read more

It's been a while since I've been here! Went back to get their kalua pork spicy ahi poke nachos! This was huge and they even had to put a rubber band on it to close it shut. Loved their won ton chips that they use for nachos. Poke was ok but smoked Kalua pork was good. This was about $25 but big enough to feed 3-4 people. read more

Kehau's Kitchen is a small hole in the wall type of restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious, a little heads up, the portion is tru amazing for the price it is at. (The burrito was as big as my boyfriend and I's heads) The aunty who helped us was so kind and patient with us. She even helped us combine the tables together so my boyfriend and I could sit next to each other and have space to eat because she noticed I had him sit by me on a two person table. Kehau's Kitchen was a nice experience and I will be dining with them again read more

Located in Westridge shopping center the parking was ample. The establishment is not very large maybe 6 or so tables. The service was good and the staff was very helpful. It's a combination of Hawaiian food and Mexican food. The Hawaiian food was good, if I had to nitpick it would that the squid in the squid luau was a bit chewy. I mean I would have liked my ribs burnt a bit more but that's just my preference. The son had the street tacos and he liked it, no complainants. Overall a pretty good experience and I'd recommend it. read more

"I'm in the mood for nothing fancy, just a good ol' Hawaiian plate lunch. I want my parents to try a little bit of everything." That's basically what I said to my cousin, who has been living in O'ahu for so many years I've lost count. I visited O'ahu recently in January with my family. It was my parents' first time ever to visit the Hawaiian islands. We ended up ordering quite a lot of food, and I'm sorry I can't remember all the items but some of them were the Pua'a to Da Poke Nachos (half kalua pork, half ahi poke on wonton chips), the kalua pork, lau lau, lomi salmon, and poi. Mmm poi. My cousin still doesn't like to eat it but I look forward to having it on the side with my meat, along with rice. What can I say? I love me some carbs. My dad found a lot of the foods similar to things he used to eat in the Philippines. He actually did not enjoy the lau lau as he said he prefers the way it's cooked back in his home (Bicol), but my husband enjoyed it for the first time. He usually doesn't like it at other places. The nachos were great, and reminded me of nachos I had years ago on my honeymoon at a bar in Honolulu. My 2-year-old daughter also ate quite a hearty amount. My mom, who is usually not adventurous, loved the lomi salmon, citing that it reminded her of a pico de gallo salsa, and ended up buying some to eat during our mornings for breakfast. It was our first meal after landing, it was super rainy outside, and we were happy to have a hot cooked meal, seats, and a rooftop while it stormed outside. It's just a little hole in the wall, but the food is fantastic. Shoutout to Gloria for her great customer service, too. read more

I really wanted to try this place out a long time ago but read bad reviews about an inflation fee but since they took it out I am eager to spend my money here now! Walked in and was greeted by friendly employee. She sat us down gave us physical menus(you can also view the menu using QR code on the table). We came here duding lunch was browsing the menu and knew we wanted the Pua To The Poke Nachos. Our server recommended that it was enough for us to eat together since the portion was big. My sister also got a taco with no cilantro but keep the onions but they still added cilantro anyway and took out the onions. Server double checked with us but cook still got it wrong. It's fine, she took out the cilantro herself. The nachos we got came with spicy ahi and kalua pork. It looked soooo appetizing and tasted delicious! Every bite was tasty. read more

If you're craving poke nachos and are in the Pearl ridge area, then this the the place to go to. It's located in the west ridge shopping center lower level. Plenty of parking on top and bottom lots. The poke nachos are really good. The nachos are crispy, the poke is fresh and they give you a huge amount of food. I like the Pua'a to Da Poke nachos which is a half ahi half kalua pig order. Bursting with flavor and delicious. They also have a ton of local food available but I go straight for the poke. There's a small dining area and service is fast and friendly. Love this place. read more

The rumors are true! We came here to order their Pua's To Da Poke Nachos and they were amazing! Prices did go up since the first video that went viral on social media. It is now $24. And it's SHARABLE! We had the option to choose our style of poke - spicy, kamakaze, and shoyu. We went with the spicy ahi on one half and kalua pig on the other half topped over the homemade nachos. The fish is fresh and melts in your mouth. They go to the fish market every other day. The only downside was that there was not enough nachos. Kehau's Kitchen is a small hole in the wall restaurant serving Hawaiian and Mexican food. Sit down at any table and you will be served good food! read more

Local grindz. I usually get poke and kailua pulled pork nachos. Chips are local style homemade wonton chips. Very filling and enough to feed two people or one very hungry and large guy. Have never left disappointed. Gloria, (the proprietor) is a hardworking woman and manages the restaurant. You may wait a while when they are busy for your food at 20 to 40 minutes, but as a small family run restaurant this is normal. I don't mind the wait for food made to order. Just plan ahead and you will be ok! Pro-tip: bring extra water in if you are thirsty. They will serve water, but at request. Typically just one pitcher, as they are under a county water conservation program. Place looks small from the outside, but actually holds a good amount of tables, not wide, but very deep. Nice Mexican artwork on the walls as well. read more

Portions are a good size and food is delicious. They provide water, but otherwise it is BYOB. 7/11 is right there, so it is pretty easy to pop in and grab a drink. Service is also good. I got the smoked meat plate and it was delicious and enough to last two meals. Prices are expensive, but everything is now and you get a ton of food. I would come back. read more

This is one of our favorite hidden gems! I'm only docking 1 star because it is a bit expensive and the ambience could be better. While the service is fancy, they are so nice!

First off, the young man ho served us was the best thing about this place. He held the restaurant down on his own, with ease, and great service. He was a better hostess and waiter than MANY of the other restaurants around. The poke nachos were huge and so yummy. The restaurant itself is small but I love the feel of the place. Mom and pop feel for sure. read more

Easily the BEST food on island, a hole in the wall underrated spot. Me and my friend came for the poke nachos and it's honestly the best food we've had since visiting from Maui. The owner was such a nice guy and super respectful. He assured us we were safe regarding a severe allergy I have and was overall so hospitable. True aloha spirit in this place. Not the mention the portion sizes were unreal generous. I was shocked there weren't more people in here but we will for sure come back when we visit island. Thank you again to the kind staff here! Can't wait to come back :) read more

Kehau's Kitchen - Poke Nachos! So fresh and delicious - Hawaiian Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

This place has good poke nachos especially the surf and turf. The service is good but the food a little on the salty side.

Came here for one thing... poke nachos! I had seen photos of it and they looked amazing. The price tag was pretty hefty... $25 for shoyu ahi poke nachos. They also had another nachos for $23 that included kalua pig, but that didn't interest me. I arrived on a Sunday around dinner time and there was only one other family inside. They're located in the Westside Shopping Center in Aiea with plenty of shared parking available. The inside is rather small and unassuming. I decided to get my food to go. Service was very friendly and full of aloha. It appeared to be a family-run business. After I placed my order, it only took about 5 minutes before the lady brought out this huge container of nachos in a bag. When I got home and opened the bag, I was bummed to see that most of what were inside the bag were chips. The chips were big and that's why the nachos appeared to be large. After I ate the poke with some of the chips, there was still more than half a container of chips left, which I ended up throwing away. I think the poke to nacho ratio should be more appropriate to include far less chips. The overall taste was just okay. They add a sauce on top along with onions, but there were so many chips on the bottom that it didn't cover it all. I've had better poke nachos elsewhere and certainly much cheaper. With tax and tip it came out to almost $30. Definitely not worth it. read more

Delicious food at a mom and pop shop in Aiea! They have a Mexican menu too and I'd like to try that next time because the poke nachos looked amazing from what I saw at the other table (I always look around to see what other people are eating. Lol.) My friend and I came here for a late lunch, and we got to sample quite a bit of different dishes - Kalua pork, lomi salmon, grilled chicken, short ribs, chicken long rice, and haupia. I enjoyed everything I tried. They were delicious and flavorful. The only thing that I hope they would improve was having the short ribs and chicken a little more tender. The place is small so they're only a few tables. It also seems like the restaurant was run by a family - the girl Lea who's helping out was very helpful and sweet! They don't have the key to the bathroom so it can be a little tricky. I suggest that you go to bathroom before you go to this restaurant. read more

We stop by here for brunch after walking around the swap meet. Saw some reviews on yelp and though to try myself. They have lots of good dishes including hawaiin or Mexican style dishes. We got the spicy ahi nachos, seared kamikaze with rice, and spicy ahi with rice. These dishes are large and very well portion, definitely a shared style dish. The poke nachos were my favorite, seems like they used deep fried wonton which was a good idea. It was hard to find we went around and passed it, can easily be missed. Overall this place is a good small local shop. Great service from the staff (the boy) and would definitely return. read more

I'm a total townie, I don't like to drive because of the traffic on Oahu, however, I WILL make the drive to Aiea for their food!! Kehau's Kitchen doesn't disappoint especially with their poke nachos!!! The won tons are excellent, very crispy, even til the next day if I order them separate when I do takeout, so fresh. Their fish is really tender, the sauce combinations for the poke are so perfect, my family and I mop it ASAP. No leftovers ever! They also do Mexican food that is very authentic and all done from scratch (I always chat with the front cashiers about how they make their food, or sourcing their own) and I can tell when it's their own exclusive because it doesn't taste like everyone else's food. My kids go-to is always the chicken quesadillas and I recently tried the burrito today. Hit the spot, for sure! There are so many different seasonings that create an authentic flavor, I'm sure it's their own private chef recipe. Friendly staff, great food and fast service with a lot of menu options! I rate this place 5 stars every time!! read more

This place is a gem. My wife and I were in Honolulu for a short trip and were looking for a good local spot for dinner. This place is on a corner, in a regular neighborhood. Nothing fancy here. Really, nothing at all and that's a good thing. They aren't trying to lure the tourists, but are making simple fusion cuisine for the local blue-collar folks. We ordered more than we needed, simply to try more things on the menu. Everything was excellently prepared and you can tell this place takes pride in serving good food. I particularly liked the Kim Chee fried rice and hurricane chicken. These were delicious and creative. Portions are generous and you will not leave hungry. The atmosphere is really just "you get what you get, and you don't get upset". It's basic. Mostly an outside order and go place on the corner. They have an indoor seating area and will bring your food to you if you eat there, but it's not a table service restaurant. The indoor dining area is more of a place to escape from the weather. It's basic and partly used for storage. Even so, it's clean and a perfectly fine place to enjoy the food. The staff / owners are clearly passionate about serving tasty meals that don't break the bank. They were friendly all around and very patient with two newcomers who weren't familiar with the menu. If you are in town and looking for a break, something authentic, and something local, this is the place. Hands down. read more

Ordered the poke nachos and patele stew nachos for a potluck at work. I think this is the third time I made an order and everything has been great each time! The poke nachos came out great! The only issue was the patele stew nachos which I ordered on a previous visit and loved. Everyone enjoyed the taste but there was something a little hard almost crunchy in the stew. I took out a few of them and they looked like very small pieces of cut potatoes with the skin on but not cooked!! I tried to take out what I could but the pieces were so many it was not worth the time! Not sure what happened but not taking this as a reflection of the food or service of Kehau's! Food has always been great and what makes it special for me is the service of the ladies in front! Things happen sometimes and please take this as constructive criticism not a knock on Kehau's! ROCK ON! No pun intended! Lol read more

I don't usually write reviews but the food was just to good not to , I went there and got the poke and pork nachos and it was 10/10, plate was loadeddd the fish was fresh everything was on point , and I'm not sure if it was the owner who helped me but she was definitely so sweet and helpful considering it was my first time read more
