    Nuggets we eat um with rice and Kimchee
    Elizabeth K.

    It makes me happy to post this review. I'm a 70's baby. My youth was filled with picnics to Kailua beach with homemade musubi and KFC for lunch. I haven't enjoyed their chicken for the past 25 years as it seems to have been in decline for flavor, quality and a different recipe. Fast forward to this weekend, with the new building, and what looks like new staff, the chicken was ono! Still not the old recipe. I think, but ono for what it is now. The nuggets are winnahs!!!

    Beyond Fried Chicken... What is it? My friends, Joyce in Arizona and Donna in Kailua, posted photos of this new plant based food option at Kentucky Fried Chicken. It looked interesting. Joyce noted that the square shaped pieces could have been thought out better from a marketing point of view. Donna said that the taste was quite good and that her mom even enjoyed them after the leftovers were heated up. Well... You can ask and wonder all you want. There's no substitute for trying it yourself, right? So, I decided to go to Donna's hometown of Kailua. It might be closer to me than Kalihi and possibly less traffic. Both places have free parking. The location in Kalihi might be crowded due to the proximity of schools. Kailua was a good choice. There was only one car ahead of me in the drive-through. The dining room is closed because of the pandemic. The parking lot was like a ghost town. The speaker system for ordering was broken, so, everyone orders at the window. I had ordered online, hoping for some kind of perk. I made an account and was offered a free chicken sandwich with a minimum $12 purchase - yay! I couldn't find Beyond Fried Chicken on the app, so, I ordered a chicken pot pie, mashed potatoes and Gravy, corn, biscuit, and a thigh (for comparison). When I got to the window, I ordered the Beyond Fried Chicken (six pieces for $8.99) and I asked for my online order. They didn't have it. I told them that I had paid already, so, the nice gal who called me "auntie", wrote down my order and efficiently gathered all of my items! She was pleasant and cheerful! I quickly drove home because the fragrance was torturing me. I guess I was rather famished... I took photos and dove in... Verdict: Beyond Fried Chicken - not bad! I ate the first piece without dipping sauce. The texture was firm enough to pass as chicken. The light batter on the outside provided enough crunch and flavor to make it a pretty good experience! I tried the barbecue sauce next...it was on the sweet side. I liked it! The ranch sauce... Not so much. Free Chicken Sandwich - yummy! The bread was nice and soft! The Mayo made it decadent. The pickles added some kick! The chicken was tender and flavorful! Pot Pie - I gobbled it up! It reminded me of when I was a little kid and our parents left us with babysitters when they went out... And they went out a lot - because they were so popular! Mom would let us choose either a TV dinner or Swanson's chicken/beef pot pie. Haha! Anyway - this chicken pot pie had chunks of real shredded chicken. The crust was nice and flaky! Delicious! The mashed potatoes and Gravy, corn, and biscuit (with buttery spread - like melted butter in a package) were normal comfort food basics. Nom nom nom! I couldn't get myself to eat the chicken thigh. The bones, veins, and knuckles are deterrents! LOL! I really don't like touching my food unless I have gloves on! Haha! So, there you have it! Those are my thoughts on Beyond Fried Chicken... And more! Let me know what you think! Go try it!

    Extra Crispy bucket was very good. It was even better with a 40% discount using the KFC app! Order was complete and service was good.

    SO ONO!! Everything we had 100/10. Service was excellent wait time for food was not long at all…read more EVERYTHING was EXCELLENT!! Very relaxing and welcoming place. We had the Macnut crusted fresh catch, bacon avocado toast and berry waffles. Everything was fresh and tasted so ono! They we're also very accommodating. We asked for waffles past the cut off time and they we're still willing to make it. The Macnut crusted fresh catch is a MUST TRY!

    I stopped by here yesterday afternoon with my father for lunch. We had been on Kailua Beach that…read moremorning and when it was time for lunch I fired up Yelp. After looking through a couple of places I ultimately found Lilikoi Kitchen. This restaurant sits in a strip mall in Kailua and the inside can seat around 30 people. At the back of the restaurant is where you order and they have a touchscreen where you can do it without interacting with anyone. For lunch on this day I ultimately went with the Lilikoi chicken farm salad while my dad went with the LK's fish sandwich. The menu described my meal as mixed greens, tomato, cucumbers, shaved carrots, house torn croutons, lilikoi vinaigrette, and griddled chicken, and my dad's as sriracha aioli, pickled cucumber, American cheese, spring mix, and a brioche roll. While I normally don't order a salad out, I am glad that I did here. My chicken ended up being cooked nicely and I liked the flavor of the spices on it. All of the vegetables felt fresh and I appreciated having something healthy and green, which I often find difficult to get in Hawaii. The croutons added a nice texture to the salad and I absolutely loved the dressing. It was creamy with a good lilikoi flavor without being overly punchy or sweet. If I had one complaint it would be that I wish my salad had been dressed with more of it. My father also enjoyed his fish sandwich and liked the greens that came on his plate as well. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Both my dad and I enjoyed our meals and I like that it was filling but still felt healthy.

    I love this place. Whenever I'm on the windward side I'll stop in and grab a fried chicken plate…read morebefore heading back home over the mountain. Today I wanted to try different things so I decided to get a couple combo plates. Hamburger steak with fried chicken and hamburger steak with furikake chicken because the garlic chicken was sold out. I've read that the furikake chicken was one of the most popular plates. Let me just start by saying this, we do not share hamburger steak plate in this house because I would feel bad if I had more than 2 bites. That being said, you could actually share a hamburger steak combo! The burger needed salt but the quality was there! It is one thick hamburger patty of solid meat/protein! It's not a bread burger! The fried chicken is always fried to perfection. It's crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The furikake was yummy. I can understand the hype. It's not something I can get everywhere. I would highly recommend eating here. The prices are very affordable. You could even share 1 plate. Just cook rice at home and ask for double Mac salad. It's definitely enough to feed 2 people. Each person would have a Mac salad, half a burger and 1 pc of chicken. Every piece of protein is big! I say this because I could only eat half of my plate and I don't do small portions. well ok. Maybe it could feed a Mom and child but not a hungry Dad.
