Update: ordered 9 combination & 7 sesame chicken bento's for wife's Birthday. Ordered online thru their site, everything went thru & called the next day to verify & they did not receive the online order. Good thing that I called back to verify ! They took my order over the phone & pick up was on time & perfect! Great service by staff. The bento's were tasty & presentation nice! I would like to thank Maruki Tei for excellent customer service & excellent bento's! read more

Maruki Tei - Bento 's in background, along with excellent spread - Hawaiian Near Me - Kaneohe, Hawaii

We rarely visit Windward Mall but had to meet someone so decided to order food from this food court. Walked around and liked the selections of entrees here at Marukai Tei. They have 3 plate sizes, 14 "Entree Choices" and 4 "Side Choices". The "Entree Choices" list that has a "P" next to it on the menu means there's an additional charge of $1.65 more: 1. Mini: 1 Entree and 1 Side 2. Regular: 2 Entrees and 1 Side 3. Large: 3 Entrees and 1 Side Note: Difference in price for that extra side between the Regular and Mini and between Large and Regular is $2.50 each. The "Side Choices" are: 1. White Rice 2. Brown Rice 3. Chow Fun 4. Fresh Tofu My husband and I both chose the Regular. He ordered the Teri Hamburger, Beef Stew with White Rice. He said the Teri Hamburger was tasty. As for the Beef Stew, he wished the gravy was thicker. It was more like Hawaiian Stew but did mention that the meat was soft and both the potatoes and carrots were perfect! For him choosing rice was the best choice because both had gravy...yum! I ordered the Sesame Chicken, Chicken Squash with Chow Fun. I liked the sesame chicken...it kind of tasted like Mochiko chicken. I thought the Chicken Squash was good but a little too salty for me. As for the Chow fun, it didn't have too much taste. I love Chow Fun but I wouldn't order this again. When I was asked what Side I wanted, I asked what other sides do they have...she only mentioned Chow Fun. It was when I was typing this review and viewing the menu that I found it listed on the top left. Shucks, I would've chosen the tofu. Oh well, next time. They displayed 3 small pieces of potato tempura in a container and I asked if we had to buy all 3. She said they used to sell it per piece but now they sell it that way. The price was $5.80 which I thought was pricey but it was really good. I would order this again! Also ordered their macaroni salad. The menu stated it includes tuna, potato and carrots. The potatoes were missing and I could taste round onions because there was a bite to it which I liked but it had a sweet taste which I didn't care for. Do they add sugar or a sweetener? Lots of free parking here at Windward Mall, the servers were nice and they have a big dining area in this food court. The only thing that I didn't like was how yucky the tables felt. I asked a worker if she could clean it...she said no matter how many times they wiped it, the tables will stay sticky. After she wiped the whole table, she laid paper towels for me. Before I left, I was going to throw away the paper towels but it was stuck so I left them. A little while after, I passed the table and a guy was sitting on the opposite side of paper towels eating. Guess he knows about the sticky tables because if it were me, I'd find another table...lol! read more

I feel nostalgia played a part in me coming here... The chicken was ok but dry. Tasted like it was fried and left in the warmer for awhile. The Mac salad tasted like it had too much sugar in it. Was not feeling it. The shrimp tempura was 90% batter and the smallest shrimp I've ever seen. It was also as hard as a rock. Do not order this unless it's fresh. This was bad. Overall it was good to relive old places, but this was definitely not worth the calories... read more

Been at this establishment many times I guess I never did review . Well nowadays it's so rare to have Okazuya's still around . It's hard work waking up early to do prep work than closing while you sell out of everything than working late into the early evenings to prep for the next day. It's so sad because the next generation don't want to work so hard purchase over the business. That's why all the Okazuya's closes their doors . Well my favorite go to is their Maki sushi it reminds me of my mom' s sushi . It's very plain with shoyu tuna, red and green Ebi and with egg or Takuan (Radish). This place uses egg because Takuan is very expensive. My mom uses Takuan which was ono a little crunch to the sushi . These days the maki sushi is so fancy , with imitation crab , Avocado, cabbage or spam , Kanpyo. This Maki sushi at Maruki Tei is plain old school sushi . This particular restaurant as I can remember being here at Windward for Years . Try their Saimin it's also a hit . Support local read more

Maruki Tei is a solid choice for Okazuya-style bentos and sushi. You can order pre-made bentos and sushi packs. You can also order selections that are visible through a glass case. Service is normally fast and friendly. Lots of tables and chairs in the food court. Plenty of free and convenient parking at Windward Mall. read more

Updating my review. This is one of the last remaining authentic okazuyas on the island. And only one in Kaneohe (yes, I'm aware of the other okazuyas in Kaneohe. They don't stack up to Maruki Tei). The maki sushi rolls still have the rainbow colors you remember as a child. The bentos are a perfect size for light eaters. I personally use it to feed kupunas in my family. As for the plates, they have their specialties. We prefer the sesame chicken, teri hamburger, and shoyu chicken. Chicken squash and nishime are also solid options. Only thing that I feel that could be improved is the chow fun. That's personal preference. The operation feels old school, but in a comforting way. Nostalgic feel. A Kaneohe staple! read more

I've been away for 5 years but I have fond memories of coming here with my parents and later with friends for a long time. Even nostalgia couldn't make up for the lack of flavor and seasoning and today was nothing like what I remembered. The chow fun and vegetable tempura was oily and bland. At least the teri hamburger was not a premade patty but it didn't feel marinated at all just soaked in a thin light teriyaki sauce that couldn't even save the chow fun when poured over it. read more

Food here is always good! Makes coming through the mountain so very worth the drive to the Windward side. So many okazuya options to choose from. I especially like the sesame chicken, mac salad and the shrimp tempura. That could possibly be my choice for last meal on earth, where my mom doesn't have to cook. Located in the food court at Windward Mall, there is ALWAYS a line at Maruki-Tei. Lines tell you the food is good. The mini bento was a great choice for me & my sis to share. She's not a big eater, but we needed a snack. Rice, chowfun, sesame chicken and hamburger patty. It was a perfect powerup. If anyone on the Windward side is heading into town, you know what I like!! read more

Came here for a quick lunch. Located in the foodcourt of Windward Mall, this food stall is supposed to be serving Japanese food but if you look on to their menu they're mostly Hawaiian. Anyhow... Service is not good, the woman is grumpy and giving me attitude (coz I couldn't make up my mind on what food I wanna order on the spot), so partly my fault. She kept waving her head and make me feel uncomfortable even more. Anyhow... I got rice & chicken long rice - was good. Tasty and delicious. Rice is mushy and being an Asian it makes me sad. Lol. The chicken long rice on the other hand was good and it was seasoned well. This place is pretty popular as I've noticed long queues. Make sure you know your order so that they won't give you an attitude. Tsssk... should I come back? Of course! But will make sure that I know what I'm going to order next time. Mahalo for reading & happy juandering fellow yeeps! read more

The Food: Two choice - teri beef and sesame chicken with chow fun. The good: Teri Beef was awesome, it's always my go to and there's didn't disappoint. I like mine soft, sweet and salty, lots of sauce, and with some fat. It had all of that and made for a happy tummy. Now if you like the BbQ grill style teri beef, this isn't the one....this one is cooked and swimming in a load of teriyaki sauce. Also the sesame chicken was another winner.......sorta like a big thigh of mochiko chicken. The so-so: The chow function wasn't anything special. Not rally much flavor and a good thing I asked them to pour some teri sauce alllll over haha. So that made it better. The sorta surprise: be cautious of the (P) next to the entrees on the menu, as it's a premium and adds $1.50 to each premium choice. My fave teriyaki beef is a premium so was like whaaaa haha. Missed it when looking the first time. Lastly, I decided to try them out as for an okazuya "everything ready place" they had a consistent line.....so just mean it's good right. I was pleasantly surprised and will definitely stop here again when I am on this side. read more

Can expensive okazuya food be worth a 35 mile round trip drive? If you want maki sushi and other plantation foods (boiled shoyu chicken and teriyaki hamburger, miso marinated fried sesame chicken, sweet soy pork tofu etc) from a bygone era, heck yeah! Don't take my word for it, 30+ people in a line that stretches to the entrance of the mall food court during lunch speaks for itself. Straight to it, the reason in itself to go, the maki sushi. The su, sweeter than most using mild rice vinegar perfectly seasons the not to sticky rice. The filling, canned tuna cooked with more rice vinegar, sugar and seasoned with colorful dried shrimp, and crisp takuan. Together, a maki that I haven't tasted in 30 years that recalls bon dance food stalls. Yes, the sesame chicken is greasy, as is the tempura but that's flavor right? Yes, they use a lot of sugar. There's nothing wrong with protein candy. Yes, the inari (cone sushi) is unexpectedly not that good, bordering on salty. Yes, the prices are high. $8.50/roll of maki sushi. Regardless, one of the few places remaining where the people cooking the food (grandmas) actually grew up with the flavors and are not simply following a recipe handed down through the generations. Good eats. read more

It's expensive for the amount of food that is given. I ordered two minis, Mind you the mini come with 1 serving of the entree. So two scoops rice with 1 teri hamburger was mind boggling. Other mini was kalu pig and rice. Ordered 1 spam musubi 1 medium soda 1 water Total was 34$! I came home to read this site because I was confused on what the prices were. That means it was 12$minis plus I got 1 order of premium so add 3$. 15$! Dollar mini. Never again read more

I was bit disappointed with the quality of my catered order this year. I order a total of 3 trays for my party, the Nishime did not have many of the traditional ingredients and did not look like what is served on the line. The teri-hamberger was moist but the sauce was the biggest disappointment, lumpy like gelatin, it did not disolve when heated. I've order this dish at least the past years. I don't think I'll go back here for awhile. read more

Wow ! I don't know what I was expecting but their food exceeded my expectations ! I ordered the lau lau & poi & single piece of teri chicken (bone-in) & one order of shrimp tempura (2 pieces) and my son ordered the teri hamburger & boneless teri chicken plate with chow funn. Wow ! Everything really tasted homemade & cooked with so much aloha. The grandma that was helping us was very patient too because we had no idea that you have to specify boneless teri chicken if you want the boneless entree (which my son wanted). She picked out a very superb thigh (bone-in) for my entree order. Very pleased with the food here. The lau lau was hot, moist and had great portions of pork, butterfish & fat. The poi was a great choice to have available too ! The hamburger was moist & juicy and And to top it off, their prices are unbeatable for okazuya food imho. Will definitely be back for more ! read more

It was amazing, slowly okazuya are fading. They have been business at least 70 y/o from a small place to to Windward Mall.

Pretty good food, good quantity, inexpensive, and very fast. They give a lot of food. Not what you would expect from an okazuya kind of place. You can order white rice, brown rice, or chow fun as your side with your two or three selections. Food is on the saltier side but good with the rice. Lucky for me the plate does not include macaroni salad! read more

Maruki Tei - Regular plate with teriyaki chicken and chicken nishime. Only $9.95. Teri sauce on one scoop only. - Hawaiian Near Me - Kaneohe, Hawaii

Food is always amazing, but I Just ordered a few ala carte items, sesame chicken, chicken squash & mac salad. I was told there would be a 50 cent charge for the plate - really, how else was I supposed to take my food home! read more

Maruki Tei has been one of my favorites since forever. My go to is usually the sesame chicken with a side of Mac salad. Recently came home in October and it was one of our first places we went to. I was so bummed, because man the prices went up!! I get it, inflation. This time around I ordered my same plate, but chose a mini. Also didn't get a Mac salad, because I knew it would've been more expensive. There was one person in front of me waiting to check out. An older woman came in front of her to order and the young girl at the register raised her voice and said you need to stand in line. The woman said nevermind and walked away. Although the woman shouldn't have cut, there are other ways to handle this. Maybe a softer and kinder voice? While waiting for the woman (who was helping me) to ring me up, that same young girl came and started using the register to help the guy after me, even though I was standing there waiting. Not sure if she wanted to help him because she was checking him out or because she wanted to move the line. Either way, it was rude. Back to the food. This was my mini I bought. It cost almost $9.50 and the worse part was that I had to warm it up in the microwave at work. I work 10min away which means it probably wasn't even warm :( read more

My friend and I both got the bento and it was about $10. We were going to get the regular plate but this had more variety in it so we decided on it. The sesame chicken is basically mochiko chicken. It had good flavor but the breading was a bit soggy. The spam was good as it tasted like they added something to spruce it up. The tamago had some kamaboko and green onion inside it. The meatball was juicy and had a sweet flavor. On the bottom, about two-thirds was rice and one-third was chow fun. Rice was good and on the mushier side which paired well with the salty food. The chow fun was an okazuya-style but needed a bit more flavoring as it tasted a bit plain. Overall a quick place for lunch which filled me up. read more

Located in the mall food court. Pre made (the morning of) delicious bentos and entrees. Stop here if you want a quick meal. There is rarely a line and you can pick your meal and/or a musubi for a decent price. The bentos are a good size portion and tend to have 3 different meats, and rice. My bento was about $10. They gave me utensils, napkins, and a bag to carry everything. read more

Five stars. Good old fashioned okazuya foods at the Windward Mall in Kaneohe. They have a variety of to go foods, such as small and large bentos, different types of spam musubi, hot ready to go foods, also foods that you can order from the menu. On this visit, I had the small bento. It had mochiko chicken, a small hamburger steak (very cute), a slice of kamaboko, a slice of sweet scrambled egg, chow fun noodles, and of course, white rice. All that food, jam packed into a clear bento container. Overall, no complaints of the bento foods. The mochiko chicken was delicious, the small, but cute hamburger steak patty brought back fond memories of past nostalgia, the kamaboko and egg was always good as ever, and the chow fun noodles and white rice were great. There was so much other variety, that I couldn't try them all. They do also have a Saimin window, which I want to try later. Great stuff! read more

Food: 3.5 stars, Service: 1.5 stars What an uncomfortable position it is to have been raised to treat others, especially our kūpuna, with respect but to have to remind a kūpuna to be respectful... That is what happened to me on 3/6/23 at Maruki Tei with one of the clerks- and in front of my daughter, who I'm trying to teach politeness and aloha. Not easy in this day and age, mind you. So what happened? Upon leaving our kula at Windward Mall, we decided to grab lunch at Maruki Tei for the first time. My 2 year old's palate is very local and she is happiest with a spam musubi and noodles, which are two things that Maruki Tei offers. We were greeted by a lovely tūtū with Short silver hair who was so very polite and eager to take our order but started to send a woman who was confused about where the line began to go to the back of the line (which we all felt bad) and so we let her go in front of us- leaving the 'olu'olu tūtū to her while we were passed over to the not-friendly-lady... She greeted us with a "What do you want?" And as I began ordering a large plate lunch (has 3 entree choices and 1 side starting at $13.90) she just was rolling her eyes and really "terse" and I was taken aback because it was just really out of nowhere... I was not impolite, I used good manners using please and thank you with sincerity and she was just not returning it at all. I asked for rice (which, if not specifying brown - I think it's safe to assume it's white... I'm old-school like that I guess). She just "WHAT kind rice?! White?! BROWN - WHAT?!" With the RUDEST tone and biggest attitude. I ordered chicken long rice and she just was throwing stuff around, tossing it on the plate clearly irritated. I asked my husband what his 2nd choice was which he said Teri beef because it certainly LOOKED like Teri beef (nothing is marked with names) and she got all pissy and was like "There IS NO TERI BEEF!" And so I said "I'm sorry- Teri hamburger than" (which there was) and my husband asked if the katsu there was fish katsu or chicken and the other lady replied "chicken katsu". I asked if they had a teriyaki spam musubi and she obviously hadn't heard the part where I said "spam" and stopped, deliberately rolled her eyes and huffed "WHAT KIND OF MU- SU- BI??" At that point, I had enough of her rudeness to me and in front of my child and I asked her "Am I inconveniencing you? I don't want to inconvenience you because it seems like that's what we're doing. A teriyaki SPAM musubi- do you have that? The items there are not labeled." And she changed her tune just slightly saying "people ask for musubi but there are several different kinds of musubi there!" And so I said "Yes, and I'll have the teriyaki spam musubi if you have it, thank you". The other lady seemed very embarrassed by her rude coworker and was most obviously trying to make up for it by thanking us for coming. I'm a glutton for punishment and still wanted to try the assorted mixed tempura. My husband, who is Chinese and has dealt with curt attitudes throughout his life simply laughed saying "Wow, she was a little pake" (rude)... which was an understatement. They also were only taking cash and the line was not long. For the record, my toddler scarfed down the chicken long rice and my husband really liked the chicken katsu. The Teri beef HAMBURGER was good but just slightly too sweet for me, though prepared well and not dry inside. The tempura, like other reviews mentioned, was a whole lot of batter and very little filling which is a little deceptive in my personal opinion. The teriyaki spam musubi was okay according to how much my toddler ate of it but she preferred the long rice. I would show grace to the pake clerk and come here again but if I have a similar experience the next time around, I will probably leave the plate half-filled and take my business elsewhere. I really hope they remind staff of the importance of Aloha spirit- especially when there are so many other options and eating out is a luxury that not everyone can afford comfortably right now. read more

We have eaten here a few times and we have thoroughly enjoyed their food.

Maruki Tei - the interior of a restaurant - Hawaiian Near Me - Kaneohe, Hawaii

Local style comfort food! I haven't been posting photos or publicly checking in because the food here doesn't look appetizing, but it actually is! I finally decided to confess and tell you about my yummy secrets... Location: in the Pa'ina Food Court of Windward Mall in Kaneohe (on the Island of Oahu). Closer to the entrance between Macy's and Sears. Parking: free and plentiful! Atmosphere: this is casual counter service at its best. Order take out or dine in this spacious Food Court Service: cheerful and helpful aunties have the Aloha Spirit. They will ask you if you'd rather have a fork or chopsticks with your meal! Food notes: enjoy 10 percent off your bill with check in on your Yelp app... except for the Daily Specials which are already discounted This is a pretty good deal, especially because I order and eat a lot! Most times, I will get a Sweet Potato Tempura, a Combination sushi roll (2 pieces each of imitation crab, tuna maki sushi, and inari [cone] sushi), and a plate lunch. I was really surprised by the Pork Pumpkin (Kobocha)... It's like Pork Tofu, but with cooked pumpkin... I got a mini plate to try it out...mmm... not too salty and not too sweet...wow... It was so good that I went back the next day and got a Regular sized plate! The pumpkin was nice and softly well cooked so that it absorbed the flavors of the sauce! Other days, I will get the Daily Plate Lunch special such as the Hamburger Steak Plate or Teri Hamburger Plate. It comes with 2 scoops of rice and a scoop of macaroni salad. I usually don't eat mac salad, but this one is the exception because it has a bit of canned tuna in it... like homemade style with more flavor! I also requested "gravy all over". This is local style to pour gravy on your rice and entree. When I was a shorter kid, I could eat gravy and rice every day! So, come over the Pali and join me for lunch one day...it's very laid back, so please don't dress up. Slippahs, t-shirt, and shorts is fine! We'll order at the counter and sit at one of the many tables in this renovated Food Court! read more

not sure if i would make a point to eat here anymore, especially when im driving from Ewa. I lived in kaneohe growing up, loved the food until my recent visit. The Auntie that works the front needs to be friendlier because she left a bitter feeling. Went on a thursday night, met my family at the food court for dinner, after everyone got their food, i went to order mines. The guy in front of me couldnt make up his mind what he wanted, so uncle in front taking up time and the auntie behind the counter moving just as slow...Waited patiently until my turn only to get the shittiest customer service. When it finally came to my turn, i wanted to order saimin, Auntie shakes her head No, ok im confused now so i asked her No i cannot order saimin? Auntie tells me that the kitchen is closed, Really!! its 640pm! and there was NO SIGN on counter to let customers know that the kitchen closes at 6pm! because they all closing at 7pm so i ordered the chicken plate and add on mac salad, Auntie making like she looking around for the mac salad....NO MORE mac salad...No sorry we sold out for tonight, nothing But the uncle in front of me bought 2 mac salads that was already packed in a take out cup? now i get charged for a mini plate when i didnt even get a side option. it clearly shows on their menu, mini is 1 choice and 1 side Sad to have poor customer service when businesses already struggling Im all about supporting local these days to keep places like these around but after this visit im going elsewhere read more

I was ordering three plates. The lady went back to cut the first sesame chicken. Meanwhile they serviced the person in the back of me who ordered the rest of the sesame chicken so i didn't have for the other two plates. They should have serviced me with the other plates before the other people or wait until the whole order is taken. You need better customer service. That's ridiculous! Finish one customer at a time!!! read more

Haven't been here in forever! Prices are higher like everywhere but so much different charges. A lot of the choices now are "P" premium. So Teri chicken can be normal but Teri beef will be premium at x.xx cost. Mini plates are 1 choice side and 1 entree at $8.xx 2 choice $10.xx Got 2 minis today both chow fun for side Chow fun is okazuya style not the Chinese style. We got hamburger steak and mochiko chicken. Super soft and tender the hamburger steak was, good flavor too. Mochiko wasn't bad too, only get 1 piece but decent size and was good. Slight crunch on edges and a slight sweet taste but not very sweet. So if you wanted a premium add on your mini goes from $8.xx to $10.xx 2 premium on 2 choice from $10.xx to $14-15 And no longer give side Mac. Its a premium add on for the small side container at $1.75? Sadly I understand they gotta do what they need to survive. I'm sure the rental is getting high there plus cost of products going up. Oh well I'd still go if I'm there and hungry read more

Not bad, nothing that's going to make me go out of my way for. But, I'm in the mall, I gotta eat. The musubi showings and tempura case line is what got me. Looks good. The menu has a lot of local style with chow funn, teri beef, hamburger steak - okazuya/ bento/ musubis offerings. Foods okay.... shrimp tempura batter tasted a little sweet, almost like a cornbread sweetness, not my thing. Chow funn lacked that local flavor (If you know, you know), hamburger steak was tender, gravy was yummy, meat itself was alright. $2.05 side order of chow funn, for a half of a small container. $3.50 for one small piece of hamburger steak $2.50 for one piece shrimp tempura It seems like a good deal separately, but c'mon of course you're gonna eat more than just one piece of shrimp! So you do the math and then look at my photo. You be the judge if its worth it for you. read more

Tasty comfort food that continues the old style. Service is fast given how busy they are.

I wouldn't even give them any stars. So, sad when you are a long time customer and you get overcharged. They had a special for Teri beef plate $11.45. Auntie who been there long time tells me she gotta charge me premium and I ask why it's on special then she said no this way cheaper. Actually it came out to $13.35 for that Teri beef plate. She charged me $10.35 plate and 2 times premium $1.50 ea. she kept telling me is cheaper. When I remembered to take picture of the sign they took it down. read more

This is probably my favorite place in the Windward Mall food court. I've enjoyed all of the things I've tried here, so it's my go to when I cannot decide. There is a nice selection of dishes to choose from and you can either order it plate lunch style or okazuya style. There are pros and cons for either way you chose. As I've said before, I've never had something I didnt like here, but it is pretty pricey for the sizes. The most recent time I visited, I ordered a regular size drink, 1 piece of inari, and a mini chicken & squash plate. This costed just about $13. I posted a picture of it. (Btw, this plate only had 3 medium diced size pieces of chicken and a lot of squash, smh)I could have gotten a full size plate at other places for that price. Just because it's good, that doesn't mean you should gouge prices. There's always somewhere better. I'm still giving 4 stars though, only because, like I said, the food is good, and I can depend on that when I'm at the mall, and want a fast meal. read more

Maruki Tei - Mini Chicken & Squash, side of Inari. - Hawaiian Near Me - Kaneohe, Hawaii

Wanted to try this place out for the first time It's like any homestyle cooking but no Wow factor! Serving portions is a disappointment and you have to buy mac salad separately. 1 piece serving entrees...Wow?! So I ordered the 2 entree choice, Teri hamburger steak/ shoyu chicken. Teri hamburger was awful! It was not marinated well and the meat inside was plain. Shoyu chicken was ok It was a turnoff already when I found out, I had to pay for the mac salad separately. Born and raised in Hawaii...all the plate lunches I ate growing up always came with mac salad as a complimentary side order. I'll be sticking to the Loco Moco restaurant and other eateries. Not coming back here again. read more
