Friendly greeting and welcoming vibes upon entrance into…read morethe store. I miss coming to this spot with family to get plate lunches when we lived down in waianae, but since we haven't been to this location in a while we finally made the attempt yesterday from Kapolei to come down to Maili. I'm happy we did because the pastele plates we got was 1/1 mild and spicy with Mac salad and 2 scoop rice. The meat was tender and savory giving you the correct amount of flavor with seasoning and balance. You can tell they put the heart into making these. Although there are many variations to Pasteles this one is my favorite. The Mac salad is good also better than other places I've tried. The opihi I also brought and added my own sauce to it with and enjoyed it with their Hawaiian Style (Inamona) poke on the side. My only recommendation is the panadeja was more of a pulled pork look and of course that's what it is but I was looking for more of a stew consistency of which it was not. Now don't get me wrong the flavor wasn't lacking and was juicy but it was just shredded pork inside and you can see couple of black olives that's it. I will still purchase them but a slight upgrade would be nice to those, just my opinion.

Its a two story green building right off the highway. There is 6 or 7 parking spaces in front and a few on thr side of thebuilding. The entrance is in the middle of the building. The staff is super cool. Cory (pic) was super friendly and welcomed us with a smile The insides is of an old school general store setting but the main seller here is their food. A lot of varietyon the menu (pic) we went with the chicken wings (good) lau lau (ok) shoyu chicken (phenomenal) I am sure they sell out for sure!!! and the empanadas(soo good!!) They probably sell out of this too. Portions was fair and prices reasonable.

The servers were still super attentive and helpful with menu selections. What I loved most was that the prices are not outrageous like most places can be. I was surprised that the Tumbleland Special came with a good amount of meat juhn. The shrimp burger also had a huge shrimp patty. The Kim Chee fries are so worth the $2 upgrade and come on some kind of white cheesy sauce that was so bomb.

Unfortunately, they don't have an elevator, which was a little difficult for my grandmother who was with us. However, we were still able to make it up the stairs slowly but surely. It wasn't busy at all but there was only one waiter/bartender. He was very kind and efficient, but I could tell it was a lot for one person to wait on the whole restaurant! It meant ordering was a little slow, but understandably. The food itself was delicious! The burgers were amazing, honestly would be on a list of top five burgers on the island. The mauka to makai (half kalua pig, half poke) nachos were amazing. The won ton chips were to die for. We also grabbed a mini purse drink - which is definitely enough for two to share! Such a fun concept and actually how I heard of the place. Besides the slightly slow service, no elevator (which sometimes, cannot help), and the AI generated menus, this place is amazing! Plus, a nice view while you eat.

If you care about cleanliness and actual authentic food, avoid Coquito's Hawaii…read more They advertise authentic cuisine, but the food didn't taste authentic at all -- it was bland and disappointing. But honestly, that wasn't even the worst part. The hygiene was a huge red flag. I watched staff repeatedly touch their hair and face, then go straight back to handling food with no handwashing or gloves. I even saw money being handled and then food being prepped immediately after. There were also small kids running around in both the front and back areas, including near food prep, and people walking in and out of the kitchen who didn't even appear to be staff. Overall, the environment felt very unprofessional and unsanitary. It made the entire experience uncomfortable and hard to trust. Definitely not a place I'd return to.

If you find yourself craving authentic Thai cuisine with a heartwarming island touch, S&S Thai…read moreMini Mart Nanakuli is a must-visit. (formerly S&S Thai Kitchen at Ka makana ali') My affection for this restaurant is boundless, and there are countless reasons why it stands out as my favorite island eatery. First and foremost, S&S Thai Mini Mart commitment to quality and sustainability is unparalleled. An impressive 70% of their produce is sourced directly from their own farms in Kahuku, ensuring that every dish is as fresh as it is flavorful. The absence of MSG in their cooking is a testament to their dedication to health and authenticity, making every meal a guilt-free indulgence. As a vegan, dining out can sometimes be a challenge, but S&S Thai Mini Mart has always been exceptionally accommodating. Their willingness to customize meals without hesitation is something I've always appreciated. Whether it's adjusting dishes to suit dietary preferences or experimenting with new flavors, their customer service is top-notch. The soul of S&S Thai Mini Mart is undoubtedly its owners, Tammy and Jason. Their love for the community shines through in everything they do, from the warm welcome they extend to every guest to their efforts to give back to the island. Moving to Nanakuli, they've not only continued to offer their authentically authentic Thai dishes but also expanded their menu to include Korean specialties and a variety of market items. This expansion has only added to the charm and appeal of the restaurant, making it a culinary hub for both locals and visitors alike. Let me add they have a good selection of authentic seasonings, sauces, noodles and such. We picked up a thing or two while we were there. Oh! They also have ox tail and other meats and fish! Fresh (frozen though) and very smartly priced. The food was as delicious as ever. I ordered Yellow Curry and Pad Kee Mao. I ate the curry there and it was so creamy, rich and satisfying. The right balance on onions, carrots, potato's oh, my goodness. The Pad Kee Mao is for tomorrow! Spice level four this time. I opted not to go Thai hot this time around. My husband ordered Chicken Pad Thai, his usual at a level one and he said it was spot on. He also ordered spring rolls which he said were savory, not overly oily and seasoned to perfection. It has to be said - S&S Thai Mini Mart is more than just a restaurant; it's a celebration of Thai cuisine, a testament to sustainable farming, and a beacon of community spirit. Whether you're a local or just passing through, do yourself a favor and experience the magic of S&S Thai Mini Mart. You'll leave with a full stomach and a full heart. A couple of things to note, they have one table that can seat six. I didn't think to ask Jason if they were planning on more tables. I will say everyone who came in ordered their food to go. They have online ordering which is a breeze with their QR code or you may go to sandsthatkitchen.com DoorDash and Uber Eats are also available. Their hours are seven days a week 10am-8pm. They are right behind McDonals right on the end of the shopping center. 87-2070 Farmington Hwy When you go tell them Deb sent you and enjoy!

Felt spoiled with the amazing beachfront views and some of the best food we had all vacation long. Best part, it was all for a fraction of the price compared to what we've been paying at the ritzy or main stream spots. They have drink specials and happy hours! Sooo worth it. The poke nachos and crispy pork coupled with drinks, heaven! Our kids loved the firecracker chicken, mildly spicy but not overwhelming for them. There were so many options we didn't get to try, which means we will be back soon! We enjoyed the music and the sounds of the waves. Kids even played by the water while we finished our cocktails from the deck. It's exactly what we envisioned our vacation to be! So, if you could skip the over priced ritzy places that end up subpar, I would and come here. It's off the beaten path a little and tucked away on a small street, but worth the visit. We often visit Ko Olina side of Oahu and can honestly say we found our affordable go-to! Also left with some of their swag to represent because the aloha love was thee best! Shout out to the owners, Donavan and Devina.
