This place use to be unreal 5 stars in my books they fell off my radar from 5 stars to 2 stars. The other day I had lunch there and i ordered their Lau Lau and squid luau combo. It was very tasty and the squid luau had a mouth full of squid. The downside is look at the rice . The rice was very hard I guaranteed it was left overs sitting in the rice warmer and they served us the hard rice . Also the service was very slow only 1 worker but we were the only customer in there . I recommend this Hawaiian food place over others but maybe ill stop from know on . It. could be new owners I'm not sure . read more

O'ahu Grill - Dried hard rice yikes - Hawaiian Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I like supporting local and visiting Oahu Grill when I get a chance, been here many times for take out, with family, a friend visiting from Cali who misses local food and after vacation when I am missing the local foods too! During a visit here with my friends who was visiting from out of town, they both enjoyed their entree with a beer, love the atmosphere- we got to chat and ended up staying until restaurant's closing time. The waitress that day was super friendly, full of Aloha! I love the local foods, everything I tried was very tasty, When dining in I usually go with the 2 item plates, picking all different items ( Lau, Kalua Pork, pork belly, chicekn long rice and sharing family style with extra rice. The food was broke da mouth! During one of my dining visits, I was on my no carb lifesytle and got the Island cobb salad with Kalua Pork ( available in 2 sizes $9./$17.) Lettuce, cucumber, corn, tomato, avocado with Kalua Pig, and sweet onion dressing. Wow, I am glad they have this option for salads. I hope they don't discontinue the Cobb salad as it was so good! During this recent stop I picked up the Pork Belly and Pipikaula plate in short ribs style. This was such a great choice as my family enoyed it . Beer and Pork Belly for pupus and pipikaua ribs for dinner. They have daily specials (beef stew, beef tomato, chicken hekka, sweet sour spare ribs, beef stew, grilled fish, shoyu chicken, garlic shrimp) which sounds good too. You can pick plates in mini or regular, two or three item combo, but few dollars more for crispy pork, smoked meat Pipikaula. Please check out Oahu Grill in the Kaimuki area, opens daily from 11-9 pm. read more

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. read more

O'ahu Grill - Chicken long rice - Hawaiian Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

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! read more

O'ahu Grill - Lomi lomi salmon, laulau, kalua pig, squid luau, haupia, poi - Hawaiian Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

O'ahu Grill - Hawaiian Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

We wanted something fast when we were in Kaimuki, and it was in between lunch and dinner, and I came across O'ahu Grill on Yelp. We went in through the back and the guy behind the counter greeted us and answered all our questions. I asked what she special was and it was similar to a chicken long rice soup, but pretty hearty. He gave me a generous sample and it was delicious - I just wasn't hungry. My husband for a plate type lunch and he ended up eating it at the nearby park. I liked the place so much, I bought one of their shirts that said "OG" on the front lol. I just loved the great service and the food was delicious. Happy that I can put another option on the list for Kaimuki eats! read more

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.

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! read more

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? read more

O'ahu Grill - Two choice combo with chicken long rice and pork laulau - Hawaiian Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Got to give credit where credit is due. This place set a high standard with their URL as "thebesthawaiianfood.com." They came through. Got the laulau plate. The size of the laulau is hearty. And the meat is moist and full of flavor. The lomi salmon was also quite tasty. At other spots, it's watered down and fishy. This one was subtle and delicious. This is not the cheapest place, but par for the course in Kaimuki. Service was friendly and quick. Good spot to get Hawaiian food in East Honolulu. Highly recommend! read more

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!!! read more

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.

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... read more

Oahu Grill Don't let the outside fool you, it is authentic! We were greeted by a very nice young lady from the Hanauma bay area. She quickly learned we were not locals and brought us several items of the Hawaiian variety to try. She explained each food item (Poi, Lomi Salmon, Squid Luau, Chicken Long Rice, and Kalua pig), provided the history and how it is typically eaten in Hawaii. They were all delicious. The Poi is more bland, but is a good balance with the Kalua Pig. Chicken Long a rice is the comparable to Chicken Noodle Soup, but with clear noodles and a little less salt. Squid Luau is very similar to Laing from the Philippines, made with coconut milk, Taro Leaves, and Octopus. Lomi Salmon is like having a fresh salsa with Salmon. For the main dishes we had pork belly and rice. The pork belly had more fat than what we usually eat at restaurants and was salty. The rice, well that's difficult to mess up. Most of the dishes had more salt than we would normally eat, but I think the food was authentic to Hawaii. The dessert was coconut flavored and delicious. The restaurant itself was pretty standard with regular tables and four chairs. It is located on the bottom floor with some window seats that looked out to the street. The building is an older building, but don't let that scare you if you're looking for good service. The best part of this experience was the server, she made us feel welcomed. To sum it up, I have mixed feelings only because of the salt level. If you are not watching your salt or like salty food, this place will be perfect. Gave four stars due to the service! read more

After a few disappointing experiences with upscale restaurants in Waikiki, we were craving homemade, authentic Hawaiian food -- and we're so glad we found O'ahu Grill! This small, cozy spot is located in the parking lot off 11th Avenue and Waialae, and seats fewer than 25 people. We were greeted warmly and seated right away. Parking is super convenient and very affordable -- a rare find in Honolulu. Here's what we ordered: Kalua Pig - Moist, flavorful, and not overly salty. Laulau - Packed with flavor and beautifully cooked; the leaves were tender and fell apart easily. Pipi Kaula - A bit on the tough side, but still had good flavor. Potato Crab Salad (side) - A real standout! Creamy, refreshing, and a perfect addition to the meal. Each plate came with Lomi Salmon, two scoops of rice, and a small piece of Haupia. The only downside was the rice -- it didn't seem fresh or hot, which was disappointing given how well it would've paired with the Kalua Pig and Laulau. We also ordered wine -- though it wasn't what was listed on the menu, we were pleasantly surprised with a glass of Mondavi Chardonnay. All in all, this was a great local find. The flavors were authentic, the service was warm, and we're already looking forward to coming back soon! read more

Pretty good Hawaiian Food. Our experience was based on ordering online, paying online and take out. I ordered a Combination plate with Laulau and Kalua PIg with Poi, Lomi Salmon and small piece of Haupia. The food itself was pretty good. The prices have gone up quite a bit in the last couple years. We live out this side, so it's hard to find good hawaiian food without out going to Waimanalo or into Town - Youngs Fishmarket. The location is a bit hard to find using google maps. Its in the building half way down 11th avenue, but the parking entrance is on Harding Ave or 12th Ave. You have to take a ticket when entering the parking, be quick, pick your food on the ground floor and zoom out. You could also park on 11th avenue street outside and walk in. Overall a good option for Hawaiian Food in the Kaimuki area. read more

O'ahu Grill - Hard to see the sign upper right corner at night. Entrance photo - Hawaiian Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

(Tookout 08/24/24 SA @ 5:30pm): Some local grindz was grilling at this O'ahu eatery! In my quest to explore the various cuisine scenes as well as other businesses throughout O'ahu's Windward side (east shore of the island) after a recent acquisition of an investment/private-use property, I visited O'ahu Grill in search of some local island favorites. Thankfully, their menu provided those options for me. How was my first time at this neighborhood grill on O'ahu!? PURCHASE Pork Lau Lau Plate w/Scoop Steamed White Rice, Side Lomi Salmon, And Side Haupia ($16.00): I loved pork lau lau and an absolute must-try whenever I saw it on the menu. The lau lau was large and packed https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=HoLXra6KewHbWStx9jpNjw with moist seasoned pork but little fat on it (I preferred some fat for extra flavor and juiciness). The leaves were flavorful and soft. The rice and lomi salmon were fresh, but I wished the portion sizes were larger. And, the haupia https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=MVJXAMgfBGYf1XH9-bTUxQ had a good consistency, solid, and sweet. All around, a very good meal! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=Sll0TmR0WOq56AzlfpbH1Q Squid Luau Plate w/Scoop Steamed White Rice, Side Lomi Salmon, And Side Haupia ($19.00): I've never had this dish before because frankly it never looked appealing to me. After my first spoonful of this dark green goop mixed with some rice, I was coming around, and by the time I reached the bottom of the cup, I was a fan. Since this was my first time with this dish, it seemed to be a bit salty, the consistency wasn't as thick as I expected, and I would've liked more squid. Otherwise, I'd be interested to try other squid luaus if I saw it on the menu. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=yBRfdgkySEszAT3mTsvgpQ Credit Card Fee 3.00% ($1.10): I understood why this had to be done - c'est la vie. SERVICE I was immediately greeted by a friendly woman who handed me a menu followed by a young man who easily took my order. Minutes later, my food was all packed up, ready to go, and I was given a sample of their potato crab salad https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=jt_pkj3mTk8e0IL8yXL-cg which was yummy! Everything was easy and fast - mahalo! PARKING (Varied; FREE this instance) They appeared to share a medium-sized public lot with several businesses. Otherwise, there appeared to be plenty of spots along the nearby main drag on Waialae Ave. and all surrounding side streets - 'nuff said! ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE Located inside a multi-business building, they had a fairly spacious layout along with outdoor patio seating, each with plenty of chairs/tables https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=SX_AgTaUgIqIbLPDpDu04A options. There was a small merchandise section https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=KJsKPNVMc0NHJrBEgcYbFg if you wanted any souvenirs. Plenty of natural lighting came in through the patio doors and windows while electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were a couple of TVs while I couldn't recall if there was any background music. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=mARK6XYMQMHdEN0-nmYqlA ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL I enjoyed the local grindz found at O'ahu Grill, and I would certainly give them another visit to further explore their menu. Everything I ate was lovely, the menu was varied enough, the prices were reasonable, and the service was friendly and straightforward. And, whenever possible I liked to support small family-owned businesses. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $38.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS read more

Food was through the roof!!! I had the Lau Lau and it had so much pork it was so ono!!! Lomi salmon on the side was great And Haupia was fantastic Place is clean and quaint Only hard thing was finding the front door which was in the center of the building Totally worth getting lost a bit read more

It is located in the back side of the building not visible from the main street. There are street parking available but when we went on a Monday around 1pm we didn't want to drive around so we just parked in the paid parking lot which is an easier access to the entrance and parking was only $1.50 for 2 hours. There is a machine in the parking lot you can pay with your credit card before exiting. Instead of ordering two main dishes, we ordered a combo plate of two entrees and glad we did because the portion was huge! The flavors were spot on and seasoned well. It hit all the crunchiness and saltiness. The crispy pork belly was more fat than meat but it think it was more of a hit or miss because one of our plate was that way while the other was fine with a good mix. But the crunch was perfect. They might be a little slow depending on the day because it is a small place with only two people working (and I think one serves and one cooks?). But definitely worth the wait! read more

Worst Lau Lau & poi I've ever had! Lau Lau leaves & meat very dry. Owner claimed that his restaurant was wheelchair accessible, but that was a lie. Lomi salmon was mostly tomato & flavorless. Worst dining experience we had on our trip. Helena's is the best choice for Hawaiian food. read more

The place is quite small and there's only two folks so you have to be patient, but you will be well rewarded with great Hawaiian food. We shared a full laulau plate and a mini lechon plate, and added a bowl of poke. Full plate comes with two scoops of rice or poi and we elected poi. The mini plate comes with one scoop of rice and lomi salmon. Everything was fresh and delicious. Well seasoned with the hot things hot and cold things cold. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu, especially the Kahlúa pork and smoked meat read more

O'ahu Grill - Pipikaula and squid lu'au plate - Hawaiian Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

My friends and I wanted to have Hawaiian food, but there's not many options in town open for dinner. Oahu Grill was one of the options that seemed promising. Parking in Kaimuki requires a lot of patience on a Friday evening. We circled the lot a few times before finding a stall. When we walked over to Oahu Grill, there were no open seats. There were a bunch of tables in the back of the restaurant that they weren't using and said it would be at least a half an hour wait. We ended up ordering take out instead. I got the mini kale pig plate with poi. Honestly, the food was just ok. The kalua pig was really salty and the poi was hard. Maybe it was just an off day. read more

Paid parking...but yummy time. I met people for a meeting and my first time here. The server was personable.... This was a cozy place with a long table for 6-7 people. I ordered Coke Zero Sweet sour spareribs, scoop potato salad, 2 scoops rice, and side of squid luau! I was in heaven! I love sweet sour spareribs that was savory with compliments of potato salad and rice. To add more savory flavor was the squid luau...like a stew with a coconut flavor. What a combo?! My senses and stomach were in overdrive! Definitely, I have to drag my friend for another delightful experience. Check it out! Ciao! read more

O'ahu Grill - Laulau Regular Entree - Hawaiian Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

O'ahu Grill is located within a parking lot alongside other restaurants. They don't validate parking but the parking rate is reasonably priced. The restaurant is isn't immediately visible from the main street, but on the side facing the parking lot. It shares a restroom with the other businesses which requires a passcode for the single-stall gendered restroom. I went with a group of four total people and were ordered two 3-entree combination plates so we could try more items. It wasn't too busy on a Tuesday afternoon, but service was attentive with constant refills of water. . Haupia: delicious, sweet, and perfectly creamy. . Unfortunately they were out of the lomi salmon, so they substituted it with crab salad, which was okay. . Laulau: The pork was tender and tears easily from your fork, and I personally love the herbal quality from the taro leaves. . Chicken Long Rice: My first time trying chicken long rice, it's more of a chicken noodle dish but decent. . Tripe Stew: Not the biggest fan of tripe but my partner is, and he seemed to enjoy this dish. . Crispy Pork Belly: If you've ever had cantonese crispy pork belly, it's very similar to it. I do think the fat could've been more crisp but I may be biased from my experience with the cantonese dish. The house special sauce it comes with is very strong and tangy, to help cut from the fattiness. . Smoked Meat: more of a lean meat but the flavor isn't too strong, I liked dipping it in their chili pepper water for an extra kick. . Pipikaula: The most expensive meat entree on the menu, not a lot of meat and mainly bone. More on the burnt side, would skip out on ordering this next time. read more

OOOOOHHHH SOOOOO ONOOOOOOOO!!!! When my cousin said let's meet for dinner and asked what I wanted, I said Hawaiian food, but for once I didn't want to go to Helena's. Checked here and fourn O'ahu Grill! So glad I did! I agree with Paul K., it feels like you're eating at someone's house. The young girl working was sweet in a local kine way that my put some people off, but get over yourselves. I had the kalua pic and lau lau, with rice, lomi salmon and haupia came with. It was all soooooo good! So much so, I brought my parents here. They really loved everything! My mom hadn't had poi in a while and she said it was good, though the lau lau was a little fatty, but that's what makes it taste so good! I also had the chicken long rice which was delicious. My cousin liked her squid luau and I have to agree after having a taste, sooooo good! Her girlfriend had the delicious Friday special, sweet and sour spare ribs. Oh, I was kinda looking forward to mac salad but they serve a very good krab and potato salad. Overall, great place for Hawaiian food! It was getting crowded when I brought in my parents, so they're doing something right! Again, it all tastes like I was at my grandma's in Kohala, and we're having a family luau. Mahalo!
