I decided to try a local meal prep company and to my surprise, it's awesome! They have paleo, keto,…read moreand vegetarian options. You can do pick up or delivery. Every week they have different meals available. You can also order items in bulk. Everything looked fresh and smelled amazing. Each meal has the macros and date on them. You can freeze the meals up to two months and only need to heat them up for about two minutes. You can also order juice from another local company through this service. I would definitely recommend Good Clean Food Hawaii!

I stopped because there wasn't a lot of options back then so I got tired of eating the same things :) A few months ago I decided to order again to help me lose weight. They have so many choices, including a lot of very tasty vegetarian ones!!! Wow who knew I would start craving their black eye beans and kale? I've always love their 5 spice chicken and order extra Tzatziki sauce (sooooo ono). I've lost a few very stubborn lbs using this meal plan! I also tried their green juices which were delicious too. I feel like I'm actually saving money by buying GCF meals, eating healthier, and still enjoying flavors on a diet :)

Nice to have a Whole Foods store where the quality is good for their…read more Ready -to -eat prepared foods. We like the hot food plates and their deli-items like chicken salad (both original and curry are tasty) . We also like their sale items. We tried their prepackaged pound hamburgers squares on sale last week when they were Buy-one-get-one-half-off, and the meat was great grilled. The prices are higher for some items than other markets, and lower for some items.

You can easily grab a box of squid for fishing bait, grab a variety of poke options (with free samples), and even get prepared catered Hawaiian foods if you're hosting a big event. Yes, it's a grocery store, but it's got local flair, like when they had those fun poke and musubi themed beach towels. As I mentioned before though, it's more expensive than Costco though. I made the mistake recently of seeing there was a "big sale" on oranges so I grabbed 3 as an impulse buy. It was painful to see that those on sale oranges were $7, whereas I could've gotten more oranges for the same price as Costco. But like I said, it's convenient. If you live in Kailua, it's worth not having to drive all the way to town for food.

However, this last trip there seemed a bit off price wise. Yes, I know DTE has always been pricy - however, $7-$8 for a tofu musubi seemed wild to me. For TOFU? I remember these being between $3-$5 each not too long ago. Was there a tofu shortage that I was unaware of? Not sure. Either way, everything still tasted great as I remember. Just some questionable price raises.

If you think you've had malasadas before, this one in Kailua will make you rethink your…read moreassumptions--and maybe your topology. Instead of the usual solid sphere situation, this malasada is a torus, complete with a legitimate central hole. It's not just aesthetic; it's deliciously functional. More surface area means more outer crunch, and the math checks out. Fresh out of the fryer, the increased perimeter-to-volume ratio delivers maximum Maillard reaction per bite. The exterior achieves a near-perfect golden-brown crisp, while the interior remains chewy and toothsome--soft, elastic, and deeply satisfying. It's a beautiful example of form following function, where geometry directly improves flavor. Eat it hot. Like, immediately hot. Any delay introduces unnecessary variables into an otherwise elegant equation. This is malasada topology at its finest: crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside, and proof that sometimes the hole really does make the donut better.

The space is a bit small and parking can be a little tricky, but it is absolutely worth it. There is a charming outdoor dining area in the back surrounded by flowers that made the experience feel even more special. The food was full of flavor. I ordered the chicken plate and especially loved the kimchi and pickled vegetables. Everything was fresh and the portion was perfect for lunch. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, which made the whole visit even better. I would definitely recommend stopping in if you happen to come across this spot.

And I prefer that to over salted food which is more common with meal kits. Veggies were cooked perfectly. There was a good amount of protein with each meal. I paid the extra $10 for delivery which was very convenient. Some things that can be improved: - ability to swap carbs for more veggies for those who are paleo/low carb - confirmation email or text after ordering. When my driver texted me that he was showing up, I had no idea who he was bc I had ordered the food 5 days before and completely forgot about it! - a printed menu included with the meal kits to remind us what we are eating Overall, I would recommend. Food delivered on Monday was still fresh and tasty on Friday.
