Fried chicken plate $14 (2 pc)
Emma C.

Simple, quick food like the neighborhood manapua man...picked up 15mins after phoning order in...the lady at front gave good service...parking is a bit of a challenge but I've been lucky to be able to park in front...I'll return to try other food items including the Thai dishes...I'll continue to support small local businesses.

Takeout lunch from Kalihi, Honolulu, Hawaii... I saw reviews by Bruddah Fran and Angel H. about T & L Market, so I went to check it out. I was lucky to park in one of the two free stalls in front of the shop. There's a funny sign that warns customers to just park there for 10 minutes and "don't eat in your car". LOL! The menu had a lot of variety. I chose Garlic Shrimp, Summer Rolls, Yellow Curry, and Pad see ew. The female cashier was efficient and friendly. She said that it would take about 15 minutes to cook the food. OK! I waited outside because it was cooler. The cozy shop didn't have air-conditioning. I tried everything at home. Too bad the Garlic Shrimp was spicy... whoa! And the Yellow Curry had a kick to it, too! At least it came with a side of rice! The Pad see ew was good and the Summer Rolls were alright. There was a little spot of dry wrapper and the sauce was like a hoi sin type... without chopped peanuts. The shrimps were ripping out of the wrapper, too... but I finished them off! I'd return again and try other items. Go early for the parking... before the lunch crowd comes!

breakfast bowl
Angel H.

So many of my Yelper friends have been here. Imagine my surprise when one of my co-workers got me a breakfast bowl. I always wanted to try this place. It's a convenience store that also sells plate lunches and breakfast items. He got me a breakfast bowl $7.50. It came with a hot dog, spam, Portuguese sausage, and an over easy egg on white rice. I have no complaints. I love runny eggs over white rice. It's hard to mess up browning the protein. I would like to try one of their plate lunches. I read that their huli huli chicken is really good, but only available on Saturdays.

Thai menu

Most delicious & amazing Thai Lao food in Oahu!! The owners are a very kind family who have been making incredible food for years. This spot will make you crave coming back to try everything on the menu!! Highly recommend their curries, pad see eiw, and salads

Penang curry sticky rice and summer roles
Gabe R.

Parking is a challenge, they have 2 stalls right in the front and the rest is street parking. When we were there, for lunch, there was a steady stream of customers. Some members of our party got their order rather quickly, others took a while. Their menu is extremely diverse. I ordered the garlic chicken because the picture of it looked really good (the menu is on the wall with huge pictures), unfortunately the food didn't look anything like the picture. I was disappointed. It tasted ok, nothing spectacular. I only ordered that one item so not sure how the rest of the food is. Not sure I'd go out of my way to go back.

Updated menu.

So many different options to choose from. Friendly workers. Affordable pricing. So much yummy food.

6/14/25 Mmm! Laotian Style BBQ Chicken...Saturdays Only
Tommie O.

6/14/25 It you know of n like Huli Huli Chicken You gotta try this Laotian version Saturdays Only Freshly Grilled outside the store! A few months ago I saw the smoke then caught a whiff of that hibachi aromas... Had to turn around n get some Went back again today Got a half chicken No rice n asked for another container of sauce It's all about the Sauce; citrusy, garlic, fish sauce, Hot Chilis, sweet... was told Laotian Style I love the Heat! Asked for but they won't give out the recipe

Eat Local! The best-hidden gems in a city are usually the little places that are in random locations. A true definition of a hole in the wall. The food is simple, manapua truck style, and brought back many childhood memories of growing up in the area. The owners are nice and the food is reasonable. Not a place to sit down, just take out. Parking is a challenge, however plenty of street parking nearby.

T&L Fries

T&L fries were pretty good ... until we seen they used an old box from Raising Canes (they just blacked out the name)???? Hopefully they washed (but don't think it could be) the container && hopefully we don't get sick ??? I know recycling is good, but kinda ghetto no??

Bbq chicken
Ketsana H.

Wow this is the best local Hawaii food and thai food coming up soon Easy to find and also Saturday BBQ chicken is the best omg

Trying This Place Out Was Good. Drove Pass & I Had To Stop & Try The Food Was Awesome. The Customer Service Was Great. Good Food Choices To Try Out.

Garlic Chicken plate ($12.00). The plate comes with two scoops white rice, & mac salad.
Fran C.

So I guess you saw my attempt (last week) when I was attempting to get my Garlic Chicken fix @ K & K Kitchen but totally failed! What a difference a week makes, as today I was successful!!! Yay me! Lol! I had bookmarked this joint called - "T & L Market" in Kalihi, because after seeing the pics of da grindz from a few of my Yelp buddies, I told myself that I should check this place out one day. While doing some online training modules in my office, when lunch time rolled around, I told my coworker if he like check out T & L Market? I'd figure if I took my friend with me, if I could not find parking, I would have my friend drive my car around the block a few times while I ran inside to pick up some lunch time grindz for both of us. I guess the parking gods were lookin' out for me, because when I got to T & L Market, someone had just pull out of the parking lot, so I swooped into the parking space! SCORE!!! Upon walking into the joint, the menu is posted on the wall. There were several fixed plate lunch menu items, or if you want to make a custom plate for yourself, they had a lot of ala carte daily items (see my take out menu pic I posted). Don't want a plate lunch? I also noticed this business sold some bakery items (not sure if they make the pastries themselves, or if they catered it in), candy, & drinks. Although T & L Market is known for their noodles & fried chicken, I opted for the Garlic Chicken Plate because I didn't get my garlic chicken fix last week, and I was so craving for my garlic chicken. For $12.00 smackaz, I got two scoops white rice, a scoop of mac salad, & a whole bunch of boneless garlic chicken. My friend opted for the Mini Garlic Chicken Plate ($9.00) which was the same as my plate, minus a scoop of white rice, and maybe a little less garlic chicken. What can I say about the grub? The food here was pretty good, but not great. The Garlic Chicken marinade was different from what I would get from Sugoi's or K & K Kitchen. The garlic marinade was not as garlicky, or sweet, but some folks like it like that. As for me, I just LOVE Sugoi's garlic chicken marinade, so you probably know which I would prefer. Overall, the prices here are very reasonable, and for what you pay, and what you get, I must say it's DEALAGES Yo! The next time I come here, I will try their noodles & fried chicken, because after all, if you check out all the pics from this business, you'll see a lot of noodles & fried chicken pics! Lol!

When ordering, we were asked how we like the heat level and advised to order medium hot because it can be made hotter with chilies. That turned out to be the right recommendation for me. The panang had a nice amount of vegetables and nice heat but not too spicy. The pad see eu tofu was all right but for vegetarians I recommend the curry.

I was honestly surprised when they took us back there to our seats because I didn't realize the space was that big. I ordered the beef pad see ew, and I'll be honest, I was a little sad when it came out because the portion felt pretty small for $18. The other dishes seemed like they were a lot larger. I also split the crab omelet, which was good! I tried the Evil Curry too. It wasn't extremely spicy, but it definitely had enough of a kick that I don't think I could eat the whole thing in one sitting. They also have free karaoke in the main room for anyone interested, which is a fun addition! Overall, I gave this place a 4 because the people were nice, and I liked that you could choose between the cute garden patio or the karaoke area. The food was decent. Nothing amazing for me, but still good overall. I will say, if you're specifically looking for pad see ew, my favorite is still King of Thai Boat Noodles!

We opted for family style since we wanted to have different things and went for: -Pad see iew with tofu (very flavorful but portion was a bit on the smaller side... I thought they gave more before..) -Papaya salad (crunchy, fresh, and tart) -Sticky rice -Yellow Curry with chicken (delicious & coconut didn't overpower) -House fried chicken (crispy, juicy... and most pieces were boneless). We warmed up a little with the medium spice level papaya salad...and they don't mess around with their spices here. Thai spice is way more of an intense, painful heat than Korean chili peppers (in my opinion!). This dish even made my spice tolerant friend sweat a little but couldn't stop eating because everything was packed with flavor. Service was fast - I would definitely come back here (and maybe bring a jacket). At least I know the AC works here!

My partner fell in LOVE with this place so we stopped sampling what's around and kept returning here. You cannot beat the space. This is the old Garlic Ninikuya location, the converted house on Waialae across from Times and Longs, that has the tree planted in the middle of the house. Seating is outside or inside, but we prefer outside. It gives oasis, even though you're right on a busy street, you feel like you've been transported someplace exotic as the tree and plants are accented with an. eclectic East Asian decor. The food is generous, although some of the plating can read pedestrian. We always get the Panang curry and try a different curry or dish along with it. The pricing is a dollar or two under most of the Thai restaurants around. Have I had better Thai food? Sure. But for an overall experience I so much prefer the serene setting here, as well as hearty portions, kind service, BYOB option, and supporting an independently run Kaimuki eatery. The food is good, I'd give it a 4. The atmosphere is a 5. Definitely do dine in. Fun as a pair or with a group.
