The garlic shrimp and the coconut shrimp were good, but not stand-out - nothing special. It is in an older but clean building.

Another great meal at Uncle Glens!…read more They have the best lunch deal on Wednesday for Hawaiian food! We love the laulau and squid luau are hands down a family favorite!

Went here on a Wednesday right before lunch to do takeout. The staff were very helpful, especially…read moresince they knew it was our first time there. We got the garlic umami fries, pastele nachos, the big pua'a moco, -n- the furikake ahi katsu. Food was delicious! I loved how they have a calendar of events. I would love to go back for the live music -n- next time definitely eat in.

This was probably my favorite meal during my whole trip. I'm writing this review late, and can tell…read moreyou that even though it's been a year, I still think about the food we got from here, more than I'd like to admit. Adela's is a small, take-out order only place, but extremely busy. We phoned in the order ahead of time and the wait time was about 45 mins. We got the Sweet Potato Noodles with Garlic Butter and Lechon. Gracious, it was delicious. Worth every penny. The lechon was crispy, tender, and flavorful. The noodles had the perfect texture and paired flawlessly with the garlic butter. We also got Okinawan Sweet Potato Poi Bread, but this unfortunately was blown out of the water by the noodles. I would not order the bread again, but would instead order 2 plates of food for myself, diets be damned. Easiest 5/5 of my life.

Knowing this place from my friend and she insisted that I should definitely give it a try…read more Fortunately she suggested me to call and pre-order to avoid long wait. They indeed seemed to be very popular as I could see how busy the place was when we picked up ours. It's also a to-go concept only so we enjoyed our pasta at the bench right next to the venue. The pasta was organic and all homemade from peculiar natural ingredients including moringa, taro, sweet potato, bread fruit, avocado, and local saimin. The one serving us was so nice and attentive, which indeed seemed to be needed here given how rich selections they offered. You got the option to pick your own choice of pasta, sauce, and protein or went for their combo. We opted for the latter as we got their Lechon Malunggay Pasta, which was Moringa pasta with roasted pork belly. Portion was HUGEEE and certainly shareable unless your appetite was so big. Meat to pasta ratio was also super general. The pork was cooked to perfection with flawlessly crispy skin yet juicy meat. The pasta came in just the right texture and was already flavorful on its own. You could pick spiciness level for which we took mild and we thought we should've gone for spicy. We also got Ube cheesecake for dessert that was also gigantic LOL. We finished it finally after multiple servings and it was still so good despite kept in fridge overnight. Dense yet not overwhelming and the ube flavor was so strong and I could tell it used real ube. This place was seriously MUST GO!

We heard about the Rainbow Drive In from a tour guide and decided to stop in to give it a try…read more When we arrived there was a crowd but the lines truly did move very quickly and there is a great amount of seating. The amazing lady at the counter was kind and so remarkably quick with her duties. She rang up everything and delivered the food with lightning speed. We split a Boneless Chicken plate and it was plenty for two people. The chicken was tender and well seasoned and the Mac Salad and Rice complimented it well. We did get the gravy on the side. :) In reading the reviews I see a lot of differing opinions. Take this amazing spot for what it is. Good food at a good value in a good spot. Get in here and enjoy!

Really want to like it as it's our first stop for the trip, but the Mix Plate with Gravy we got…read morejust didn't suit my liking. It came with 2 scoops of rice, your choice of mac salad or coleslaw, BBQ beef, boneless chicken and fried mahi mahi. The decent one on the plate was prolly the beef but the chicken and fish were bit bland. The gravy sauce also seemed lumpy. The portion was filling but I might not be a fan of the taste. The outdoor dining space also had weird smell occasionally. Appreciate the servers though who were all attentive and moving super quickly.

So glad to have found this hidden gem in Kaimuki! 10/10 friendly and attentive service from sistah…read moreLei who made us feel welcomed and at home. Parking outside in the municipal parking lot, pay before you leave. Came in a party of 8 with a same day reservation. We all enjoyed our food and I think most of us cleaned our plates too. Poi was offered fresh. You can ask for older/sour poi if you like too. Owners are somehow related to Waiahole poi factory and get their poi fresh from them. Enjoyed my squid luau and laulau. Lomi salmon was gooood and haupia was so 'ono! Definitely recommend stopping by if you're craving real local Hawaiian food and you're in the area!

5/5 Homemade Hawaiian food. (Laulau tender, Kālua pig…read moretender and marinated) 5/5 Food came out fairly quick and flavorful. As soon as my girl and I walked in the waitress greeted us with a welcoming smile and phenomenal customer service - Sunday during lunch time. - Felt as though we dined in at one auntehs homestead in Nalo and got served fresh from the taro patch yesssah

This place has been here a long time. Its right off the main highway right next to 711…read more It an old style drive inn. Parking is in the front and back (maybe 15 spots). There is an old skool walk up ordering window that you order through. There is a dining area to the side of the window. It used to be an inclosed open patio and used to have a roof but now its more of an outside dining area half shade half sun. It's cool they have some scripture painted on the wall too. The kitchen is all screened in to prevent flies from coming into the kitchen so you know the food is safe. The food is your typical plate lunch burger fare. (Pic of menu) The portions are fair to huge and are a decent value. The food was good and the staff was cool. The only thing is...and I hope the owner or staff is reading this. I don't know why but there a lot of flies outside maybe from other issues close by I know it didnt effect the safety of the food but Please buy one of those fly bag traps From home depot to reduce flies outside. I think it would go a long way with aesthetics when dining outside!! Good safe food...fair pricing..good portions just control the flies outside.

Everything tastes authentic and full of aloha, but my favorite has to be the poi ice cream with warm poi at the bottom. That mix of warm, earthy poi with cold, creamy ice cream is something so unique and unforgettable. It's the kind of dessert you can't really find anywhere else, and it really shows the beauty of traditional Hawaiian food with a modern twist. The whole experience feels special, from the food to the laid-back, old-style atmosphere. Please open more locations in Honolulu town we need this kind of local flavor closer to the city!

I have to say this is the best meal I had in my whole trip. I ordered two entree combo, I chose laulau and Kalua pig. Both of them are delicious but if I have to pick only one, that would be laulau, it was juicy and moist. Employees and very nice and explained all the items. It was in the food court so, plenty of open seat. I gave 5 stars for the food alone. Ambiance could be better.

OMG! This was a dining experience! So, the restaurant was closing so my friend said we should eat…read morethere! I didn't know that the servings were group sized!! I found so many things that looked great on the menu, to include fried gizzards, boneless Kal Bi ribs, fully loaded fried rice, Mac salad and other stuff I can't recall! So the TWO of us ordered way too much! We tried to eat as much as we could and ended up taking the rest home! Everything we ordered was delicious, so we knew we were going to eat good leftovers! The restaurant was a great place to go with a group to eat and watch sports! Our Waitress (I have to remember to get names) was a track star, she was running to and from several tables of groups to deliver food! I will go again if they reopen!

If you're visiting Hawaii with a big group, 100% recommend taking them here…read more We initially were a party of 16, and showed up without a reservation at 6pm on a Saturday. The staff was super nice about it and was able to accommodate us, with only a small request that we be out by 8pm since there was another big party with a reservation coming in. Absolutely reasonable. They sat us right away at three large tables, which gave us plenty of space for food and didn't force us to sit super close together. Menus, waters, plates, napkins, and forks were all brought out immediately, and our waiter was quick to take our order. We started with the prix fixe menu for 8-10 guests and were going to add other items à la carte, but a handful of our group accidentally went to the other Side Street location (make sure your group is all on the same page), so what we ordered ended up being more than enough. We left stuffed and with 5 boxes of food still. Edamame was nice and steamy, and large enough to easily pop the beans out with your mouth. Wish there was a bit more salt though. The farmer's salad had everything going on from citrusy to salty to crispy. Avocado had a little bit of oxidation but the capers, dressing and potato curls provided plenty of reasons to overlook it. The fried rice came in a hefty portion, with sizable pieces of bacon and sausage. The chicken I didn't realize was boneless based on the shape of the deep fry, but it was nice to freely bite into it without worrying about hitting anything with my teeth. Probably a bit too much on fried bits but still good. Pork chops had a better meat to crisp ratio in my opinion, as well as juiciness. They even came with ketchup on the side, which I love as a pairing but don't see much of at restaurants. My favorite meat item was definitely the sizzling boneless kalbi. The presentation on the sizzling plate with a side of kimchi was spectacular, and the meat was full of flavor. We also ordered yakisoba, which wasn't part of the prix fixe. Tasted good but nothing past standard expectations. We let the waiter know we had a 30th birthday at the table, and they brought a couple scoops of vanilla ice cream with a candle, and did a decent job getting the whole room to participate in the singing. It could also be the type of crowd this place attracts, since it seemed that everyone was so friendly and approachable. Thanks to the quick and consistent service, we were out in a little over an hour with no complaints.
