You already know...it's Miki's! The nostalgia this place is amazing! This is my high school years and a ton of late night hang outs! If you haven't been, don't let me gas it up. But if you grew up eating here. This is the spot! The roast pork is always tender! The go to meatballs are always fantastic! Almost everything in the menu is good! The corned beef sandwich is delicious! And you can't go wrong with a pbj! Don't overlook this place!

Teri Meatball and shoyu chicken
Brenda B.

Man, I still remember coming here in college for a late night meal and coming back after so many years was nostalgic and so familiar. I ordered the Teri meatballs and shoyu chicken. Auntie in the front was so kind and friendly and the servings were just as I remembered, decent. There was a little wait for our food but it was understandable as this is a very busy eatery. Of course parking is a little tricky as it can get a little busy but nonetheless, still worth it!

Tin foil strip in pastele plate
Ciera B.

I've been a frequent customer since I was in middle school & never had any issues! I'm normally eating at home in dim lighting (since it's night time), but I happened to bring my leftovers to work - where's there's fluorescent lighting, as well as sunlight. If I had demolished my food last night, I wouldn't have seen the thin strip of tinfoil sitting on my fork. I'm certain it's because the pasteles are wrapped in foil; but just grateful I didn't swallow it! Other than that, the food is ALWAYS on point. I would just suggest checking thoroughly when ordering pasteles.

Pork Adobo & Teri Meat Ball Combo
Keola K.

Let me start by saying.......my old school favorite hole in the wall spot. If you want homey food with tons of sauce and gravy, you'll be in heaven. If you are looking for fine dining, pretty Yelp post type dishes, this ain't your place., haha. My favorite.......the oh so cheap, simple, and delicious meat balls. Soft, mealy, sweet goodness haha. Mr hey also make a good adobo (reddish sauce style), shoyu chicken, pastele stew......hmmmmm actually never ordered something. I didn't like. They are open only later in evenings and not in the day so plan accordingly......they aim for that party people with an appetite haha. I'll always come back when I am hungry and it's late haha.

My mini beef stew. $7.50.

This time around I had the S&S ribs combo with the beef stew and the stew was great the ribs had a lot of bones and little meat. I also found the ribs salty. Almost inedible. I was hungry so I ate it. Just hd to double up on the BP meds! Awwwrite!!!

Mixed plate - teriyaki meatballs and roast pork
Brennan H.

Came back again when I had a late night craving. I love their roast pork - it's so tender and juicy. I love the amount of gravy they give as well. Definitely worth it for the price. The lady in the front is super friendly as always. Will be back when the late night cravings hit and nothing else is open but fast-food!

A stop I usually go to if I have a late night craving while going out late at night. This place is literally a while in the wall. Hidden from many tourists, this is a local spot to get some good lunch plates. I usually order a mini meatball or mini lau lau. Their mini size is pretty hefty! I used to come here years back with my carclub crew so it brought back lots of memories. People that come here are mostly late night workers or random local people. I've heard instances people get mobbed here to come here being aware of your surroundings.

Teri Meatball & Pastele Stew
Shirleen W.

ONE OF THE LATE NIGHT MUNCHIES YOU CAN GET IN AIEA! There's plenty of street parking and the price is very affordable. Not your typical fine and dine, but more casual and on-the-go kine grindz! You get the option of having one: -Mix plate $14.75 -Regular plate $13.75 - Mini Plate $10.50 It looks like they have rotating menus so they will always have different things on the menu! We got their teriyaki meatballs and spicy pastele stew and it was pretty good to satisfy the angry tummies that want food

Mix plate - Pork Adobo and Teri Meatball
Kaleo L.

Idk if I just got the wrong things, but I was a little disappointed after eating here. It's convenient for late night and my food came out quick and hot. I got the mixed plate for $15 so I could try a few things and got pork adobo and teriyaki meatballs with Mac salad. Everything was pretty salty and bland in my opinion. Mac salad just tasted like straight mayonnaise. The meatballs were something you get frozen from the grocery store. The adobo was tough and oily. This is a locally loved establishment and I can understand why due to the convenience and options available, but for the price and quality I think I'd just go to the grocery store hot food section.

Simple ono menu, about 10 minute wait for the food if you catch them on the busy hours. There were about 5 folks in front in line. Must get their pickled onion. Enjoyed it very much so, heads up that it is a tiny bit spicy. Happy with my choice of plate. Shoyu chicken while my fiancee got a combo of meatballs and

Laulau mix plate with meat loaf
Jenn R.

It's been years since I've been here.. This place used to be my friends and I favorite local spot in the wee late night hours after partying and I remember their food was always satisfyingly good to sober you up and it's still good as I remember! Last night my hubby and I returned and ordered their meatballs & Laulau mix plate with meat loaf. So ono! Everything was fresh and delicious. I enjoyed it all. So much flavors.. and the rice with Mac salad, blend it together..Omg, kanacks attacks! Lol. Can't wait for the next trip back to try other things on their menu. Service was friendly and polite. The Filipino lady at the window reminds me of my aunty. So nostalgic this place. I'm glad they are still open and made it through Covid times.

Mix plate: Kalua pork cabbage, Pork laulau, mac salad, 2 scoop rice. Mix plate: Pork laulau, Teri meatballs, 2 scoop rice.

After years of passing by this sketchy place at night, I finally got the courage to go and ask my friends to try this place out since covid hours with a lot of restaurants close around 9pm. *Store hours* As of 2022, they're now open from 8pm-3am! Me and my friends got here around 8pm and there was no line but later on it surprisingly got very busy around 11pm? *Environment/Parking* You can park in front of the establishment, on the side, in front of the next door barber shop, or neighborhood street parking. So far they only have one table and 4 chairs available so if you're planning on dining there, its first come first serve. Or just do what I do, grab your plate and eat on top or inside of your car and talk story with friends. The street is actually pretty well lit so you dont have to worry about eating in the dark. The Filipino aunties are so sweet, it feels like Im at home visiting family so its very comforting to hear them talk to me. They take cash or credit cards too! *Order* I ordered the mix plate (choose 2 meat options includes one mac salad, 2 scoop rice) I choose the teri balls and pork laulau with all rice, includes utensils and one pack of shoyu, and I ordered one can juice of guava. The teri balls were pretty decent since everyone on here on yelp was raving about it and the pork laulau has satisfied my laulau cravings, I wish they had a side of poi so I can dip it in. Miki's is a perfect place to eat for your late night meal for your Hawaiian/Filipino food needs! Most def will be back again!!

My wife and I invited a friend and his wife to dinner. My friend ordered the chicken katsu and kalbi mixed plate. When the food came out, it looked great, but after taking his first bite, he realized the chicken was still raw in the center. We immediately let our server know. Instead of taking the entire plate back, she brought over a small plate and asked him to move just the chicken katsu onto it. A few minutes later, another server returned with what looked like the exact same pieces of chicken (we knew it was the same because of the shape of the pieces). Rather than making a fresh order, they had simply dropped the chicken back into the fryer and served it again. That was really disappointing and honestly concerning. Once the raw chicken had been sitting on the plate, it had already come into contact with the rice and the kalbi. Refrying the chicken doesn't address the risk that the rest of the meal may have been contaminated. At that point, the entire plate should have been replaced. What made the experience even more disappointing was that there wasn't much of an apology or offer to comp the plate. Everyone makes mistakes, but it's how those mistakes are handled that leaves a lasting impression. We weren't looking for anything free; we just expected the situation to be handled with a little more care and concern for food safety. Unfortunately, after three visits with each one being more disappointing than the last, I don't think we'll be coming back.

Main entree choices are: Mochiko Chicken, BBQ Chicken, Chicken Katsu, Fried Shrimp, Fried Fish, Shrimp Tempura, Meat Jun or Musubi Combo. The veggie choices are: Choy Sum, Corn, Kim Chee, Shoyu Potato, Bean Sprouts or Japchae. You can substitute the rice for an extra veggie. I ordered the Meat Jun with Choy Sum. For $8.50, they gave a good amount of food which I enjoyed and had leftovers for another meal. The guy behind the counter was nice and service was fast. I would definitely return to try something different. This place is in Palama Supermarket that's located at Waimalu Shopping Center. Lots of free parking but this complex is always busy. Sometimes it's hard to find so park at the first stall that's empty. There are 2 entrances/exits that circles around so if you can't find parking, you have to circle around again because the isle is only one-way.

The restaurant itself is clean, comfortable, and air conditioned, which makes it easy to sit down and enjoy your meal. The staff is efficient and gets the job done, although they come across a little like young efficient robots--polite enough, but not much personality or warmth. My only real issue is the price. It is hard for me to justify spending $17+ for a plate with just a few pieces of boneless chicken and some sides. If the prices were a little more reasonable, or the portions included a bit more chicken, I could justify a 5-star rating. For now, it is a solid 4 stars based on the cost-to-value ratio. The food is good enough that I would still come back once in a while.

Ordered by phone the day prior, and just gave them my phone number as usual (it's how they identify you when you pick up, with no worries about duplicate or misspelled names.). Every time I've ordered in advance, our order has always been packed neatly and ready in a box for takeout. (My brother had brought a box just in case, and smoothly offered it to their staff for someone else's future order.) The restaurant has several tables for dining in, and markings on the floor for those waiting in line. It's brightly lit and clean as well. I appreciate their staff, food, service, and generous servings. They make us look so good with our potluck contributions! So what did we order? Half chicken katsu, half chicken wings, a small platter ($45 for the small pan, but picture a much loaded tray) - it's a great value deal! It was the same order our cousins loved when we brought it on Christmas Day (they especially love the wings, but we love the katsu-so this year we asked for half-half instead of all katsu, and they were so happy, ha ha!) Oh, and they give you a nice big container of yummy katsu sauce;)! I like their panko and cooking method, as whatever they do, the chicken is nice and crisp, and tasty - with, or without the sauce, actually. First time that I actually tried the wings, as I'm not a wing person. (I didn't even try it at Christmas, lol.). But, it was nice and crisp, lightly seasoned, and the wings had lots of meat on them. Easy finger food, and they were not dripping in oil, either, which I appreciated! Also ordered (for the first time) a small platter of chicken chow mein (a little over $30?). It was based on a good recommendation by an admittedly biased family member of the owners, and we were pleasantly surprised! The small pan was covered in wrap and then foil, because the mound of noodles was seriously kinda big! My brother was like, quick, go tell mom to come look before we open it (as she's picky, so it's hard to impress her). It was filled with lots of veggies (sliced carrots, cabbage, onions, etc) and bbq chicken pieces, tossed with great flavor (I want to say it was a nice sauce, but this wasn't a wet noodle dish.). My dad added Chinese mustard soy sauce, but my mom and I thought it was perfect the way it was. Oh, don't laugh, we're only a family of four, so yes, we ate two meals - lunch and dinner - and still packed a ton of leftovers! As we watched the game, we commented to each other what great choices we had made. (We also had sushi trays and other treats, and of course, chips, and my brother's dip. My brother said we may not have had a favorite team to cheer on today, but it was a great excuse for a party, ha ha!) I know we're doing a repeat for our next occasion, for sure! We'll gradually try some of their other foods, and it's farther away than we'd like to drive (I know, it's not that far, but we live on the other side, ok?). My brother agrees it's worth the drive - it's across Aloha Stadium and literally in the same spot as Ice Palace; and we saw quite the line at the Taco Bell drive through when we were looking for parking;). He also compared it to the cost and serving size of what we ordered on New Year's, from a restaurant much closer to where we live. Hands down, it was not even a close comparison, his emphasis added. So go here, it's perfect for family dinners and potlucks and I hope you agree with my assessment;)! Oops, I didn't take any pictures, aiya!!!
