    Chicken long rice
    Deborah P.

    Update date 5-21-26. Since my brother didn't have to work today he picked us up and had lunch here. I normally ordered mini salt meat watercress soup but I went with the chicken long rice instead. Came with 2 scoops of rice lomilomi salmon and the bowl of long rice. It was good the broth was hot and tasty. My husband had their squid luau and my brother had combo squid luau and lau lau. Only thing they didn't have poi so my husband was alittle disappointed the white today was dry and hard. Like the bottom of the pot or leftover from the day before. But for me I just put in my chicken long rice soup. The boys said the squid luau was good lots of squid. If you in the kaimuki area try them. Located in the public parking lot behind Jose mexican and moke breakfast shop and restaurant aki.

    My eldest sister visiting O'ahu and I craved for Hawaiian food. We love eating traditional Hawaiian food! However, we don't get to eat it as often as we prefer to. I called the restaurant at opening and spoke with a kind, local employee via phone. I made a res on same day for lunch at 12 noon. He informed me, "When you come in, say you're the party of 8!" I wanted to chuckle. I maintained my composure and responded, "Ok. Will do." I kindly left my name, just in case, restaurant gets full. Parking options are street, metered, and paid public parking lot via entering 11th Ave, then turn left. Choose a single plate, two choices, or three choices combination plate with or w/o add ons. Choice of poi or rice, lomi lomi salmon and haupia are included in plates. These are my faves or must haves for three choices Hawaiian mea 'ai rated 10/10: Laulau was very flavorful! Pork was very moist, with two tiny portions of fat. Super tender, and easy to pull apart. Kalua pig tasted moist and had the perfect amount of Hawaiian salt. Squid luau has the ideal consistency, not too thick, not runny, with proportions of squid and coconut milk. I also let my hubby try after he overheard me rave about it. He loved it too! Lomi lomi salmon tasted very fresh. Light Hawaiian salt compliments this side dish. Haupia was thick in consistency and ono! Tiny, powerful dessert. Poi brought back pleasant, nostalgia memories! Perfect consistency, color and taste. Fresh, same day poi. I ate everything on my plate. Spacious, casual, and ample elbow space to enjoy your entree(s). We're very happy that three different 'ohana were able to meet, converse and catch up from nostalgia to modern times. If choosing to pay with card, there's a 3% surcharge. Excellent customer service from one and only, full of life + humorous employee with beverage refills, napkins, to go containers. Would love to bring out of town guests at my leisure and try other add ons! Mahalo piha!

    So glad to have found this hidden gem in Kaimuki! 10/10 friendly and attentive service from sistah Lei 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!

    I am not familiar with hawaiian cuisine. I had a bite of my friend's ordered food called loco moco yesterday, that is about it. And that tasted somewhat familiar. I am glad I found this place and came to dine in, it was interesting. I felt like food was inspired or originated from korean, chinese, filipino, and possibly mexican with twists. Some food was so foreign, but the dining experience was fun here. The cook(maybe John) was friendly and hard working.

    Authentic Hawaiian food! This time we ordered take out via this online system. When we got there the food wasn't ready but it was because we were the first ones to order and some items were still being made. Loved the tripe stew, as it's like how grandma would have made it. Chicken long rice was very salty. I think the air conditioning was down or they didn't turn it on yet because it was early. Had fans going instead.

    The visit to this restaurant was great. I went around noon and there was plenty of seats. We didn't have to wait a lot to get our food. We tried the short ribs, and pork. Those were amazing. The poi was very interesting, but i didn't like it too much. The squid Lucas though, was great! As well as the lomi salmon.

    Squid Luau plate   Note : The poi looks like a scoop   of chocolate ice cream delicious.

    Update 6-4-2025 Delicious Hawaiian Food. My wife ordered the Salt Meat Watercress, Brother-in-law had the mini Laulau plate, and I had the Squid luau with poi. We all enjoyed our food. The potions are large and the poi is hand pounded. I noticed only one worker / server/ cook. Show a little patience and you will be rewarded with great tasting Hawaiian Food. Enjoy

    Oahu Grill is a small family business style restaurant. When we arrived on a Saturday during lunch time, there was only one person on staff and he greeted us with familiarity. The space is small and doesn't offer much in the way of decorations. We ordered one of the large plates and split between our group as we were food touring the area and he was kind enough to give us larger portions than is typically served so we could try lots of options while still feeling satisfied. The quality of the food was traditional home-style, like your grandma would make, but of course Hawaiian. The chicharron was delicious, but the meat was a bit dry and tough. Dipping it in the soy and vinegar sauce helped add moisture and also a nice acidic kick. We also got the squid lu'au, which was a bit odd to me as someone who's never had it, but the taro leave mixture was really delicious and paired with the rice beautifully. The laulau pork was my favorite on the plate because every bite was tender and juicy. The poi was not for me as the texture reminded me of pudding, but made of taro root and it was cold. It's more of a personal preference though. I loved ending the meal with the coconut jelly. Even though the textures and flavors aren't the same, it reminded me of the effect arroz con leche has at the end of a spanish meal, probably because of the milk aspect. Delicious!

    Two choice combo with chicken long rice and pork laulau

    I was curious to try O'ahu grill since I love the Kaimukī area, but I was a bit disappointed, unfortunately :-( A friend and I ordered two of the 2-item combos. One combo was pork laulau and chicken long rice, and the second combo was squid luau and tripe stew. The squid luau was pretty good and had a nice coconut flavor. But everything else was way too salty, except for the laulau, which was surprisingly bland and kind of dry... The haupia texture was too starchy. When I placed the order, I asked the staff if they could replace the lomi salmon in both combo plates with a second portion of haupia, and they said it would be no problem, but then they didn't make the adjustment. We ordered takeout so didn't notice until we got home. I see a lot of good reviews on here, though, so maybe we just happened to visit on an "off" day?

    BEST HAWAIIAN FOOD ON ISLAND Yes I said it! Went in after lunch rush and the place was empty and quiet. Owner cooking by himself food came quick. SHOYU (soy sauce) CHICKEN 5/5: Sweet savory delicious finger licking marinade and braised tender meat falls off bone! CHICKEN LONG RICE 5/5: warm hearty bowl of soup. Coconut milk jello sweet dessert. LAULAU 5/5: my husband had this and said it's the best he's ever gad! CRISPY PORK BELLY 5/5: crispy and chewy in a good way. Dipping sauce fire PIPIKAULA (SHORT RIBS) 5/5: I'm used to the Korean LA galbi ribs which is sweet but this style with the savory flavor was just as good! SIDES 5/5: CRAB POTATO SALAD, COCONUT JELLY, LOMI SALMON were all tasty! The chef here knows how to get down with flavors in the kitchen. Definitely going to be our go to stop on our vacations here!!!

    3 Item Combination
    Deanna L.

    This place is casual and cozy, I tried the 3 item combination plate here with Smoked Meat, Pipikaula, and Squid Luau. The 3 item combination plate comes with a choice of poi or rice, I opted for poi, and Lomi Salmon and Haupia. Everything was very delicious. My favorite was the Smoked Meat, it was very flavorful and tender. I also really liked the Lomi Salmon and Squid Luau. The service was very good, and the restaurant was well kept and clean.

    They only do takeouts at night and the food is pretty bomb for hawaiian food at night. I got the lau lau and the short rib, both were well made. Service was cool, even tho its just collecting our money at the cashier. We waited for 10 min for the food which was pretty quick. Didn't get to dine in so dont know mich about them ambiance, however, the place looks pretty spacious. One bag thing was the poi was sour, didnt know if its expired so I ditch that for rice at home...

    Three choice combination plate:  tripe stew, squid luau, chicken long rice
    Richard H.

    Hidden gem! Located in the busy shopping mall on Waianae Avenue. This place serves authentic Hawaiian food! Great two choice combination plates: rice or poi, kahlua pig, and their ono squid luau! I also love their chicken long rice and tripe stew.

I also listed these in order of best to worst tasting, with the beans/tofu still being a satisfactory 8/10 (could be better with more sauce and if the garlic were more toasted.) The beef in the brisket soup was a bit lean (great if you're not looking for the fatty meat cuts), but I am one who loves pork belly, so just a tan bit lean. Overall, food was great and still hot by the time I got home with the take out order. Will definitely be back!

So the thing about coming to Fun Station is the "suspended flying noodle thingy" which I didn't go for, but if you like Instagramable stuffs, then I supposed you would probably go for that flying-noodle dish. As for me, I mainly came to try their Minute Chicken Cake Noodles, and as a bonus......... I actually got a 20% discount thanks to my friend - Jennifer C. who let a Bruddah know about da DEALAGES in da Sunday food section newspaper, as they had a coupon! The Sunday morning when I came with my friend, I can clearly see that this restaurant was thriving, as every table in the restaurant was taken. Fun Station specializes in noodles, but if you're not into that, they do serve other items like - soups, vegetable dishes, rice plates, & porridge (jook). Upon looking over the menu, we ordered the following items - 1. Frrrrrrried Chicken Wings ($9.95) for an appetizer 2. Minute Chicken Cake Noodles ($17.95 - minus da 20% coupon DEALAGES) 3. Beef Brisket Tendon & Won Ton in soup ($18.95) What can I say about da grub??? Da chicken wings came out hot & crispy. Although they featured only "flats" vs. drums (I like drums), I must say da wings was nicely executed. As for the Minute Chicken Cake Noodles.........nicely plated on a fancy smanshy panda plate. The cake noodles weren't drowning in gravy, so the noodles stayed crispy on the dish. I really liked how they did this dish, and would easily come back here to eat it again. My friend had the Beef Brisket Tendon & Won Ton soup. The dish looked good, and there weren't any complaints, so I take it that it was pretty ono! Overall, a very satisfying meal and the service here was on point, as the staff was friendly & very efficient. Easy 5 stars for the Minute Chicken Cake Noodles! Chance 'em!

Then the food starts arriving. We ordered way more than we needed and almost everything impressed me. The chow fun was cooked exactly the way I like it. Chewy, smoky and never overcooked. My only complaint was that it leaned a little saltier than I prefer, but it was still very good. The Hainan chicken was the surprise of the meal. Perfectly tender with an incredible ginger sauce that I'd happily put on just about anything. Even the dishes I normally avoid won me over. I've never been much of a lotus root person, but theirs was crisp, savory and honestly delicious. The wontons were another highlight. Since we skipped the noodles, they generously gave us extra wontons instead, which was a really thoughtful touch. What really pushed this place from good to memorable, though, was the staff. We were there with our two and four year old and they couldn't have been kinder. They brought over little toys to keep the kids occupied, checked on us throughout the meal and made us feel genuinely welcome. None of it felt forced. It was just warm, thoughtful hospitality and that's something I always remember long after I've forgotten exactly what I ate. The bathroom situation isn't ideal, you have to use the one outside the restaurant, but that's really my only complaint beyond the slightly salty chow fun. This isn't the place I'd recommend for date night or a long evening out. It's the kind of neighborhood restaurant you walk into expecting very little, then leave thinking, that was a lot better than it had any right to be. We'll definitely be back.

I ordered the #2 Creamy Broth- creamy chicken broth topped with juicy pork chashu and a flavorful seasoned egg 10/10! This was absolute fire!!! My wife ordered the Chicken Katsu- lightly battered, well seasoned and packed with flavor. We also ordered a side of Shrimp Tempura and Potato Croquettes. Both were equally delicious, but the potato croquettes hit the spot with a well seasoned potato mash, encased in a golden deep fried breadcrumb 10/10! It's an absolute must!

Parking is available in the garage beneath or if you're lucky you can find street parking along the side. We had a reservation at 5pm and were seated immediately at our scheduled time. There were so many people waiting outside so I already had high expectations for this place. Once seated, we were greeted right away with hot towels and water. We got our sides and our sesame shortly after and I opted for the dish that had 1 of everything of oyster, shrimp tempura, onion, pork loin, and chicken. You also get to choose what kind of rice and soup you want. I went with shiso rice and regular miso tofu soup. I figure I might as well go big! Our food arrived and the first bite had me immediately hooked. The tonkatsu is so airy and didn't feel heavy at all. The rice was nice and fluffy, you can tell they use the good rice. I was never a big fan of tonkatsu but this place changed my mind. I already can't wait for my next time back. Pro tip: MAKE A RESERVATION!!

    I love Kamitoku. I…read morelove Kamitoku so much that I have recommended it to everyone I know. I have even recommended it to people who have and will probably never step foot on Oahu! That's how much I love Kamitoku. How revolutionary is it to use beef ramen broth (Beefy Wild) as shabu shabu broth. What genius came up with that?? The meat is also thick (unlike OTHER chain shabu shabu places that rhyme with Kabuya) and fills you up quickly (even in the set meals). I usually get the $17 eye round set that comes with meat, broth, veggies, and ramen noodles. I love the Beefy Wild and could drink the broth. Sometimes I get a side of rice and make a lil porridge with the broth. But you cannot go wrong with anything at Kamitoku. I love this place, so please never go out of business!

    OVERALL: 8/10…read more PARKING: Free parking in the lot of the Market City shopping center. Can be a busy lot, so plan accordingly. VIBE: It's hot pot, so there's not a lot of service necessary. Split pot, each person picks a set (can be different), downside was broth refills are $1, which I thought was tacky, considering you do all your own cooking at your table. So I just added water to my pot, worked just fine. Space is small, but every table has their own area, which is nice for privacy when talking over a meal. MENU: Limited, no seafood on the hot pot menu, just FYI. They also have an AYCE option too.
