Thanks again Gina's n see you again soon.

I ordered the kalbi plate and had a pretty disappointing experience…read more While I appreciated the kalbi being conveniently cut up, the meat did not taste or feel fresh off the grill--the packaging temperature was lukewarm at best. The flavor profile was also a bit off, leaning much softer and significantly sweeter than what I would expect from good kalbi, making it tedious to eat. However, the real nail in the coffin was the rice. It had a bizarre, soapy taste to it--almost as if it had been sitting in an overly soaped plastic container that infused into the food. It was highly unpleasant and killed my appetite. The sides: The kimchi and japchae were good! The shoyu potatoes were just okay and nothing to write home about, as it didn't have any particular flavor.

I had done some…read moreresearch and found that they were voted the best Mai Tai in Hawaii and since I've never had one why not go straight to the best. Now mind you I'm not a big drinker but this tasty spicy and delicious. I only had a couple sips (it was strong but I'm a lightweight) but I did enjoy every last drop of the foam on top. Yummy!!!!! It's truly a work of art. They have awesome happy hour pricing which we took advantage of. The sprinkles were being serenaded by the wonderful voice coming from the live music being played. She was lovely. The staff was so friendly and welcoming. The food was fantastic. We ordered the truffle fries for the table which we devoured within a couple minutes. So hot and crunchy. Loved them. I ordered the cast iron shrimp off the appetizer menu. The blistered tomatoes and grilled shrimp topped off with sweet grilled cornbread were phenomenal. Alex ordered a cheeseburger and Ray got the salad with grilled chicken. This was the best meal I've had so far. So good!!!! 10/10 for me.

Excellent food. Nice selection of draft beers on tap including Weihenstephaner and Rice Breaker…read more The garlic truffle fries are the perfect appetizer. The handcut fries soak up the flavors. The potstickers were fine. The fish and chips were some of the best I've ever had. They use Mahi Mahi. They said that earlier this year they were unable to procure it and had to use a different fish and it just wasn't the same. So be sure to verify that they're using Mahi Mahi. Delicious! They have a legit pizza oven and make amazing pizzas. We got the combo they call the Kalua Pork & Pineapple. Note that it has other things on it too like jalapenos and pesto. We made no modifications and got it how it normally comes. Amazing! The scratch made crust is really great.

The live music created the perfect atmosphere; it was upbeat, relaxing, and just made you feel good while enjoying your meal. The food was delicious, and the drinks were just as impressive. If you're looking for a cocktail recommendation, definitely order the Coconut Mojito. Between the great food, amazing service, and fun island vibe, this is definitely a place I'll be coming back to. Highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area!

It does get pretty busy. I would recommend making reservations. I recently went to the soft opening for lunch and I had a great experience! Service is always friendly. One of my visits, I was with my coworkers and we waited a long time for one of the appetizers. Our server was very apologetic and bought us all shots. Which was really sweet! I personally love the crispy ginger chicken and kanaka kalbi. Live music is always awesome! Especially when the Keolanui Brothers perform. They're my favoriteeee!! It does get pretty loud which maybe challenging to have conversations. However, I highly recommend checking them out!

We would come back again!

Highway Inn is located across from Midas in Waipahu (it used to be near Seafood Mart and a car wash…read morebut has since moved to this area). The parking lot is smallish but so far never had a problem getting a space. We take our car to Midas then an easy walk over to enjoy their breakfast/lunch while our car being serviced. Immediately greeted at 10:00 am and seated in a semi-booth against the wall. Their menu is awesome with so many things available during morning not just lunch. Courtney was a wonderful server, very kind and on point with our order and overall service. She made sure we had time to peruse the menu and made sure we had everything to enjoy our meal. The food was ono as always and decently priced. Amazed that my husband actually couldn't finish his "Tree Pigs" breakfast as usually he has no problem with any meal- but his plate was a beeeeg one! He opted for bacon, spam and sausage. My kamaaina breakfast with eggs, meat , rice and a banana muffin which automatically comes with the meal was ono and perfectly prepared! That muffin hit the spot for my sweet tooth and was a nice change instead of toast. Ordered three muffins to take with us to Midas lol and it was only $5.99. We are happy to support this local business and our daughter used their catering for a birthday party - the best Hawaiian food- and they recently sent her a thank you card! Mahalo to Highway Inn keeping us well fed with our local comfort foods!

The food and service did not disappoint as we were walking in with very high expectations. My wife ordered the Pork Lau Lau Moco and I had the Beef Stew Combo plate. Both meals were excellent! We enjoyed every bite! We especially loved the Pork Lau Lau Moco. It's a very unique dish only found here in the islands! The service was great and the restaurant was very clean. Parking can be difficult as the restaurant is in a business district. My family places this in our top 10 restaurants of the year!

Not worth it in my opinion. Wanted to try something different from the other well-known Hawaiian…read morefood places. Lomi-Oio was quite thick and pasty. Not seasoned very well either. I don't know if it wasn't mixed right, or was just plain old. Laulau was small and dry. Kalua pig was good, but tasted a little old. Lomi salmon was good. The poi was like 2-day old, thick, dry, and sour. The haupia was little funky, solid, and grey. The white rice was brown and old. The loco moco gravy was super dark and chunky, the meat paddy tough. The mac salad tasted like detergent (like they never wash the pot good). Felt like everything we was eating was Sunday leftovers. The cashier was super soft spoken, and quite frankly she didn't seem to know what she was selling, or just plainly could not hear or understand her.

I really enjoy Camille's Hawaiian Food, besides Hawaiian food, Camille's has local foods too! The…read morestaff is really friendly and there's entertainment here too! Its feels like eating at your friend's grandma's house, will this is how I feel, home comfort food vibe whenever I grab take out or dine in. Camille's Hawaiian Food is tucked all the way in Waipahu at Westgate Center, there are many shops here and it blends in but look for the wooden board out front with the daily specials. The prices at Camille's are reasonable and the portions size are great too, you really get bangs for your bucks here. I like they have the options of mini and regular plates. I've been here a total of 3 times, first time we tried the Hawaiian food, got take out, and most recently dined in and luckily we got some entertainment. We enjoyed the Hawaiian food, but I have to give credit to the other local foods we tried so far I got the pork chops with mushroom, garlic shrimp, crack chicken and smoked meat fried rice. Everything was tasty, really enjoyed it but just the crack chicken may be on the sweeter side, I would request for light sauce. The macaroni salad was fire! Rice cooked perfectly! There are many goodies in the fridge, pistachio cake, Ho'i'o salad, dried Aku, Opelu, Smoke Marlin, pickle onions, smoke tako, dried shrimp, drinks, and even Dubai chocolates! There are T-shirts, snacks, candies, chips for sale in front of cashier and towards the back of store. I love the color green and had to get a slice of pistachio cake, ($5.) what a treat, its been awhile since I last had pistachio cake. It was a huge slice, shared w/the hubby. It was yummy, so refreshing and moist. When I had my last bite, it got a little too sweet means I need to stop eating. hehe. Check out Camille's, support local. Oh I remember that the business is named after the owner's daughter.

There's just something about a good plate lunch from this food truck that feels like a warm hug. Definitely another satisfying visit.

There are like 5 workers standing in a row and each takes an order for a different type of food so it's very confusing. They have a security guard in the front who is friendly and helps to answers questions while you wait. They also offer catering.

When we first got to the restaurant, the bartender asked us how many and then directed us to choose our seat. The music was very loud by the bar, so we elected to find a seat as far away from the music as possible. My family and I sat down and looked over the menu. Five minutes passed and no one came by our table nor acknowledged us, other than the bartender at the beginning. After ten minutes passed, a server past us twice, but we still didn't get any acknowledgement nor any water. So we elected to leave and go to a different seafood place. My family and I are pretty understanding people, and it would have been different if someone came by and said something along the lines of, "sorry guys, we're short staffed and will get your order in a bit," or "I'll be right over to take your order," just some type of acknowledgment. Instead we observed a server walk by us twice, look at us and continue to be on their way. That left a sour taste in our mouth and made us feel like we didn't belong. Second, it appeared as though other people were also waiting to either order, get their check, or their food. But the servers were more focused on the patrons at the bar than those on the table. Overall, we were disappointed by the service and decided to go somewhere else for our family dinner.
