Adela's did NOT disappoint! I got the purple pasta with shrimp and mushrooms in the creamy garlic…read moresauce and it was soooo good. The pasta was perfectly cooked, the shrimp were big and flavorful, and that sauce was rich, creamy and delicious. And look at that portion!! They definitely don't skimp. I had plenty left over. The service is always spectacular with Millies soft spoken sweetness and patience. There is no sit down and dine, only take out but it is worth it. The ambience there reminds me of a little kid walking into a candy store with sooooo many options of dessert . Their cheesecake selection makes it difficult to choose. Fresh, flavorful, filling and worth every penny. I'll definitely be back!

Never been, so on my most recent trip home, I finally got to try Adela's…read more Ordered 3 signature plates, 3 pastas(Moringa, Taro, and Ogo) and a calamansi lime cheesecake. Total was about $140. Pretty steep! On top of that, a 45 minute wait for your order. Finally got them, drove home, and dug in since Adela's is a grab and ho operation. We had the Ulu pasta with garlic and portobello mushrooms ×2 and the Moringa Pasta with Lechon. Ulu pasta was a bit more flavorful. Service was pleasant and portions were plentiful but the taste, wait time, and price point left much to be desired.

Best Hawaiian food on Oahu. PERIOD!…read more Helena's lost my vote last time I came home from their mediocre taste, texture, and TINY portions. Take the drive to Waiahole, grab yourself some ono Hawaiian food, and don't forget to save room for dessert! Sweet Lady of Waiahole is a MUST and definitely does not disappoint! Service is always great, food is consistently tasty, and can't beat the outdoor dining!

We enjoyed our stop at the Waiahole Poi Factory on our round island trip with an out of town…read morefriend. Heard that this is the place for warm kulolo with haupia ice cream. I've never had kulolo before and it was a warm fudge-like sweet treat made from taro. the sweet lady of waiahole was topped off with yummy haupia ice cream! What a delight on our journey. We also tried the 4oz poi which was served cold and was more gelatinous than I am used to poi being. Great find and worth the stop if you're in the area. They also serve Hawaiian food plates which we didn't order. Large parking lot, tables to enjoy your food at, a bathroom, and a small souvenir shop.

Was really craving Hawaiian food and so kinda bummed with my experience tonight. Ordered take out…read more I got the beef luau and chicken long rice. They both tasted good but I feel like there was more liquid in the chicken long rice than food that filled the cup. The beef luau was yummy! The poi also had a different consistency that I didn't like, I like my poi smoother and not so chunky. I've had it from here before and it definitely wasn't like this so I'm hoping it was just a one time experience.

Another unbelievable and special occasion at the Haleiwa Joe's Haiku Garden. The environment of…read morethis location has everything you could ask for. The garden is where we have taken our daughter's pictures and the setting is beautiful for something so special. For this visit- Our server Kristy was lovely and attentive. The gentleman that was assisting, and filling our water was hospitable and kind as well. The entire experience was another beautiful memory for our family. So thankful to have another year celebrating our youngest daughter. Who are an entire cheeseburger with a heaping serving of fries included. Her desert pie was devoured after they helped us sing happy birthday to her. She loved it. Thank you Kristy! Prime rib was just as delicious as the first time we ate here. I ordered an extra side of veggies, was bok choy and mushrooms were available in addition to green beans. We had two medium rare prime ribs at our table this visit and we were all happy. My father in law had the coconut shrimp and said he was good. He didn't try the papaya salad that it was served with. The complimentary bread and butter was delicious. I think, it's lilikoi butter. The garlic bread is a must order for each visit. We tried the calamari too and the Thai peanut sauce was good! I like the really crispy pieces but I'm not usually a calamari fan.

Masa and Joyce has been around a long time and I have a lot of fond memories stopping here…read morethroughout my childhood. Their customer service and consistent quality of food is what has kept them around all these years. They have a lot of ready made options in the okazuya display. Come early for the most options because they can run out quick. My favorites have been the chicken katsu, fried noodles, and eggplant. The chicken katsu is thick and cooked well so it's not dry. Comes with a generous portion of katsu sauce that tastes like the bulldog sauce, which is the best! Noodles are simple and tasty. I like that they use a thicker noodle that's a little firmer than saimin noodles. The eggplant is super soft but somehow not all falling apart in a really nice teriyaki kind of sauce. They also have a pork dish in a similar sauce that's really good too. A lot of other okazuya options that are nostalgic home style cooking - can't go wrong. They also have plates made to order and poke, sashimi, and sushi.

Whiskey Smoke 808…read more Whiskey Smoke 808 @whiskeysmoke_808 is a family-owned BBQ spot right in the heart of Kāneʻohe, serving up wood-smoked meats with local island flavors. We stopped in for lunch around noon this past Sunday, and it was already fairly busy. Thankfully, we didn't have to wait too long to be seated. I ordered the 2 Choice Plate with pulehu ribs and brisket, along with potato mac and BBQ beans. We also ordered the All Meat Plate, which was a great way to sample several of their popular meats and came with pickled vegetables. Unfortunately, by the time we ordered, they were already sold out of the cornbread, peach cobbler, and brisket meatloaf. So if there's something specific you want to try, I'd definitely recommend getting there earlier! Of course, I had to try a couple of their sauces too--the Coffee Bourbon and Guava Chili Pepper. My mom and I also shared the cherry cobbler and banana pudding for dessert. My favorites were definitely the pulehu ribs and BBQ beans. The ribs had great flavor, and those beans were probably the side I'd order again without hesitation. Service could use some improvement. Our first plate took over 20 minutes, with the second arriving more than 10 minutes later, making it hard to enjoy our meal together. We also waited an additional 30 minutes for the freshly baked cherry cobbler. The staff was friendly, but better timing and communication would've made the overall experience much smoother. The banana pudding, on the other hand, was really good and ended the meal on a sweet note! Would I come back? Yes. There are still a few sold-out items I'd like to try, especially that brisket meatloaf and peach cobbler. So I'll definitely come earlier next time. Supporting a locally owned, family-run Kāneʻohe business while getting my BBQ fix? I'm here for it. #queeniesdiabadassfoodjourney #hawaiistagram #supportlocal #hawaiieats #diabeticfoodie

I found this INCREDIBLE gem and you've got to check it out…read more Here's the catch, they're only open Wednesday-Friday. Their Wednesdays has lau lau, poke nachos and butterfish, the other days are plate lunches and burgers. Wednesday seems to be the most bumpkin' day for them. So lemme tell you how to make your trip efficient! They have a number, but it's for texting only. You can text them your order and they will confirm once they receive it. I always do this to avoid the lines at 11am. Parking is free but very limited. Their prices are cheap, with the bentos starting at $5. Some combos starting at $6. I haven't seen prices like this since the early 2000s. Quality of food? Actually delicious. Homemade. Very special. Hearty. Their squid luau and lau lau is killer! Their poke nachos is the size of a normal order at any restaurant but half the price!!!!! They also have a wide variety of cupcakes and carrot cake at the bar. I always grab a few (strawberry, lemon, and carrot cake). Very moist and tasty. They have live music everyday and it's honestly a vibe if you want to dine in. Very simple set up with a bar. No frills just vibes! If you're in the area, I recommend you check it out! I'm not on this side enough but out of all the options in the area, it's really top 3 for me!
