    We were planning to go to Guieb for breakfast but found a parking space in front of Kitchen Delight. Fast change we will pick up for breakfast and lunch from here and take home. Small, few tables to dine in, counter to place orders or select from their prepared local Japanese type okazu food behind the glass. Note: update- The breakfast is now listed as $5.00 on their menu board. Lots of items caught my eye. The lady next to me told me she wanted to try one of everything on one plate- we giggled. I chose 2 each of: hot dog sticks, hamburger, fried chicken, longanisa 1 of: Vegetable tempura Potato tempura 1 serving Fried saimin 1 serving kimpira gobo These were to share with hubs, not all for me. My favorites were the crispy edges on the sweet potato(purple) tempura, longanisa and tender gobo. Afterthought I should have gotten a plain musubi it would have gone well with the flavor of the gobo. The cook seems to have a heavy hand on seasoning IMHO(salty) but perhaps some might like that. The fried saimin not so much flavor as the rest. Might be perfect to take down to the beach and chase down with ice cold water, Diet Coke or maybe something stronger. The vegetable tempura and fried chicken(huge, $4 a piece) looked awesome but was fried a bit too long so difficult to tear apart to eat. I grew up eating okazuya from Honda Delicatessan ( long gone) for elementary school field trips located across from the original Liliha Bakery. Those flavors from the past are hard for me to forget. Fast food chains seem to have replaced old school okazuyas but some still survive, not many in my neighborhood. For now bentos close to Pearlridge will have to do for me.

    The Double Shock and Awe at Kitchen Delight will fill you up. Not many places you will find a meal of 4 eggs, 2 choices of meat and on a bed of fried rice for $11. The bowl of turkey tail adobo was also a tender, juicy but not to vinegary addition to my kanak attack. They are one of the most affordable okazuyas on the island, so if in Wahiawa check them out on Mango Street in a light green building with no real signage. They don't have a parking lot, but there's usually a lot of street parking. #bigboyproblems

    Cash Only!!!!! I love okazuya food especially when they look like they were in business for a long time. Located on Mango street across Storage place, easy to find. Street parking is available but you must look. We got lucky as we found parking right outside. It was a busy street. As I walked in I notice how open it was with a the food showcase and a cashier up in the back. Looked like there was a sit in dining area because of the floor space inside before walking towards the back of the store. There were so many options, I was so excited. I decided to try fried chicken, chow fun, fish patty, veggie lumpia, hot dog , egg, maki sushi. Truth is I was disappointed because everything was not drained, very oily, and there was no taste. Looks like they were shorting the dashi and salt. I was actually disappointed. The price was reasonable for the portion which is a plus for everyone. I'm a very harsh critiquer and I'm willing to try again. Maybe it was an off day? I was hoping to get the mom and pops old school secret recipe and taste. Satisfaction? thumbs down, oily and no taste Would I come again? if I'm in the area and have CASH. But I like giving second chances. Mood? **Two stars for taste , THREE stars for good price and portion. I hope this helps. What is good there that everyone gets? Or would you know another mom and pops okazuya store?

    Had an early lunch at nearby Shiges Saimin. Our Uber driver asked if we had tried Kitchen Delight. Well told him to take us there so we could pick up Okazu for dinner. This place had no signage that I could see from the street. Our driver pointed out a non descript green building. The service was pleasant. I ordered one Teriyaki turkey tail, one shrimp tempura, one vegetable tempura, and a roll of maki sushi. The turkey tail was the best of the bunch. The tempura both shrimp and vegetable were oily and had a thick tasteless batter. The roll of maki sushi was passable with a slight vinegar taste. batter. Other reviews had mentioned the breakfast plates, maybe that would have been better..Enjoy

    I think this was $8.50.

    I've been frequenting Kitchen Delight in Wahiawa lately. The food was always good but what keeps me coming back are the prices. Once I ordered 3 pieces of okazu including a adobo Turkey tail and it was only $4.50. They still have the shock and awe breakfast ( rice, 2 eggs and choice of meat) for only $4.00. It's like you went back in time about 10 years. There are okazuyas with better food but Kitchen Delight is about half the price.

    Good cheap food. Fair prices to say the least. Small place with no parking. Service is friendly enough. The inside has some seating if you would like to dine in. Food tasted good and fresh. Cash only. I posted menu and hours as well from feb2023. Aloha.

    This place is very quiet and convenient for a home cooked breakfast, super homey and feel good place. The aunty that took our order is super nice and she also helps make the food. We'll be back my husband and i's food was only 8.50 for two plates! I got fried rice and spam with eggs my hubby got Portuguese sausage eggs and white rice. So homey and so good!

    Hubby and I came here for breakfast. It's cash only. The breakfast plate with one meat is $4.00 from the menu I looked at. They have different combos you can get for a good price. This place was good for breakfast. I got white rice, two eggs over easy with two thick slices of spam. Spam was cooked through and slightly crispy on the outside. Just how I like it. I drank a Aloha maid iced tea. Tasted kind of strange for a canned drink but the food is what I enjoyed. The inside is fairly small and looks run down inside but the breakfast was good. I haven't really tried other items they sell. Maybe next time. Not really too sure of their business hours. I know they only open for breakfast and lunch.. Parking is on the street and usually fills up but we got here early enough where I found a parking spot up front. Not too bad..

    Went here with a relative last Thursday, August 18th for the first time for the both of us having interest from a local YouTuber who liked their Shock N Awe breakfast and entree bowls. But we were there for the okazu items and knowing how okazu-ya hours are and how soon foods go empty (as they usually do not restock once they are out of a food item), we decided to go early and was there about 9:20ish. The outside looks worn and could use a better neutral color of gloss paint. Once inside, we saw three contemporary glass display cases and since there were two other parties before us, we just looked at what items we wanted to get. There was just the one older woman servicing the front, don't know if there were any others in the back cooking. She didn't talk much really, listened to what you order and take your cash and give you change back. A positive was that each item on sale had a price shown, so you could add up your meal and not get shocked at the end of your selection! I went with chow funn, nori wrapped ume plain rice ball, teri chicken, sweet potato tempura, eggplant omelet and gobo. Total came out to $10.50 which got me so excited, as I know okazu-ya items can get out of hand and may total $18-$19 or even more! At the time I was there, there were pretty much that each selection had about half remaining, except that I saw there was only one remaining corn beef hash (which I didn't see and should have gotten). When we left, there were three separate customers standing behind us so it gets busy off and on. Dropped off my relative at his house and once I got home, I had to take a few bites of the foods! Now upon opening the lid, you can see the shine on the exterior of the sweet potato tempura and on the eggplant omelet... turned out that was OIL --- and lots of it! This could only mean one thing: the oil used for deep frying wasn't hot enough temperature wise, so the oil soaked through! urghh ! Let me break down each item separately: 1) chow funn - looked alright, but bland in taste - needs flavoring noticeably, 2) the nori wrapped rice ball - did its job, nothing to complain about - neither sticky nor dried out grains of rice, 3) teri chicken - a little too salty for my taste and funny as it doesn't look anything like what I had envisioned as local style teri chicken as it looked to be a butterflied piece of thigh and dipped perhaps in batter that had some teri(yaki) sauce --- taste was weak (and salty), 4) sweet potato tempura - for $1, the overall size made it a generous bargain! BUT, seeing how much of a shine it had, I decided to get two paper towels to soak up the oil. Boy, two paper towels was NOT enough, as it soaked through both towels and made both my left and right hands completely were soaked in oil, 5) eggplant omelet - see comments above ... same as the sweet potato, plus it REALLY needed some salt (and perhaps pepper) to flavor the eggplant. It just looked to be that the pounded down eggplant was put into eggwash and deep-fried, 6) gobo - way over simmered with no crunch at all - suitable for people missing some or even all their teeth, as you could slightly chew with one's gums and be able to swallow. I have never had gobo served this overcooked since I first went to an okazu-ya establishment back in 1967! Funny, this two (2) star rating can be improved to a four (4) star rating *IF* they just correct by improving on their deep-frying cooking process *and* put flavoring into their items with quality control! Someone in the kitchen staff needs to taste all their products to ensure a good product goes out to the customers. Seeing it 'from the other side', one would assume the cook(s) were late to wake up, late to open up and prep and with the rush to prep all their items properly, quality was compromised just so that these items would be ready for the shop's 5 am opening. For now, I cannot recommend you go there for the okazu items even though they were of great value to your pocketbook! I do hope the owner of this place, Sandro C. sees this review and will take action to improve on their okazu food items. Again, this place can generate even more customers, but they need to get their act together on the okazu items side, as all these Yelp reviews say their Shock N Awe breakfasts can't be beaten for value!

    Ube mascarpone pancakes!…read more I've dined here and at the Aiea location a few times. To my surprise, Guieb was introducing an updated menu when my friend and I visited earlier today. Our server explained that the menu is more streamlined with favorites. He mentioned that all pancake dishes can be interchangeable to waffles and that the waffle in their chicken and waffle dish can be any flavor! can My friend and I ordered new menu items, the Aria Plate for her and Da 3-Bite Feast for me. We enjoyed our plates! I love when restaurants offer samplers of sweet and savory breakfast items. The ube mascarpone pancakes were as legitimately ube and not too sweet as ever. The crab cake Benedict was great with a crispy crab cake patty and the poached egg a good medium (huge improvement from the bao bun Benedict I ordered for takeout years ago). The egg from the Wagyu loco moco was cooked exactly like the over easy I requested. The meat was moist and the gravy was flavorful. Good to know I don't always have to get the same ube mascarpone pancakes every time! One of our servers seemed a little hurried when my friend just arrived, even though the restaurant wasn't busy. I gently reminded him that my friend needed time to look at the menu. (Maybe he got too excited, haha!) The rest of the staff were friendly and attentive. I seem to forget about Guieb's parking in the back, or even the 1-hour parking around the block. The closest untimed street parking I'm aware of is near First Hawaiian Bank a couple blocks away. Guieb Cafe Wahiawa is always a favorite whenever I have visiting family and friends, or for loved ones moving away.

    ****CHECK YOUR RECEIPT PRIOR TO PAYING****…read more ****CHECK YOUR RECEIPT PRIOR TO PAYING**** I had lunch with my wife and had a wonderful experience (she had the country fried steak and I had the Korean rib-eye with an order of 4 beignets [2 of the Ube and 2 of the Strawberry])... ...until I got the receipt for our meal. The cost for the whole meal was reasonable until I saw the price for the beignets that were the special menu item. THEY TRIED TO CHARGE US $25.00 for 4 beignets. (For reference: Price was: 1 for $2.75 or 4 for $10.00) I only ordered 4 (two of the Strawberry and 2 of the Ube so my wife and I can try both flavors), which should come out to $10.00. I confronted the waitress about the mistake, and was very apologetic about the error. She returns to the register to fix it and the total came out to $11.00, not $10.00. The math doesn't make sense. So I approached the waitress and she said and I quote: "We charge the $2.75 price because you ordered two orders of two different types of beignets. Since each cost $2.75, the total comes out to $11.00". THAT WAS NEVER MENTIONED WHEN THE WAITRESS TOOK OUR ORDER OR WAS NOT PRINTED ON THE MENU WHEN WE WERE LOOKING AT THE ORDER I asked her why wasn't this mentioned while we were ordering it, even though she was present when I was having the discussion of the beignets to my wife. All she did was apologize but didn't change the ticket. I didn't want to cause a scene, so I paid the bill and took off. I only state this because even though it is only a dollar, this could have been going on for a good amount of time where they can rack up a good sum of money from customers if they kept this act going. And restaurants wonder why people don't go to their establishments: because occurrences similar to this dissuade people from going out to eat. This is why I check my receipt before paying. *see picture* Don't get me wrong, food was wonderful and the ambiance was laid back and relaxed, but they should make it known of their EXACT pricing before advertising a food item on the menu

    Surfers has been one of the OG coffee shops in Central Oahu and is a popular spot!…read more Drinks: As of recently, I've been loving an iced dirty tiger spice chai. The chai is pretty sweet on its own so I add 2 shots of espresso to cut thru that sweetness and add a teeny bit more caffeine to the drink. They also have seasonal drinks that stay for a few months at a time. My favorite seasonal drink was in the summer -- I believe it was a haupia latte (cold foam on top was sooooo good with the coffee). Food: If I order food, it'll be the bacon burrito w/sauce. They also have other sweeter options for food (mochi waffles, avo toast, etc) Of the countless times I've been to Surfer's, there's a mixture of people - some locked in doing work, others catching up with friends, people reading their Bibles, tourists passing through checking out a local coffee shop, etc. Because of this, it can get pretty loud for a coffee shop, so just FYI if you plan on going there to do work! Overall, love Surfers :) Great vibes, amazing staff, and I'll always keep coming back here Parking: Back lot parking (located on Ohai St) or street parking (Kam Hwy) WiFi: Yes | Bathroom: Yes

I remember his burger bun was purple, from the taro root ingredients. Mentally, I added it to my list, for next time. My nephew had never been to the Northshore before, and has rarely had a real vacation in his young run on the planet. His partially-genuine question was amplified by the inherent organic qualities of the lunch experience. Namely, the serene backyard surroundings of Farm to Barn's property. The picnic bench tables. His bare feet on the grass, manifesting a closer connection to the earth (which fortunately, he only mentioned once - we all know the someone who would've mentioned it 6 times, or so). My older sister added her coconut granola bowl was the best acai-adjacent bowl she's ever encountered, in the handful of years she's discovered such meals exist. And my breakfast burrito, aka my fav. food, was top 5 for sure. The yard chickens cruised us, hoping to get some scraps. But, we all made the most of our post-hike meal. One would think, photos would've been taken, during such a moment... but nope! Too busy enjoying family, and food, and the ultimate healthy Hawaii vibe, that this spot effortlessly provided. There's a ton of great food options on this stretch of the Northshore, but hard to imagine not coming here every visit, from now on.
