Minced and cheese
Jason C.

Just a Braddah giving an honest review. Let me start by saying it was DELICIOUS. TRULY DELICIOUS. However, even with inflation I can't see how we are at ELEVEN DOLLARS AND FIFTY CENTS FOR ONE (CHEESE BURGA SIZE) PIE. Bugga never even come with fries or one drink . If it was even half that price im buying a dozen and giving this place 5 stars all day long. But 11.50 for a minced (hamburger) and cheese was sticker shock. EVEN IN NEW ZEALAND THE PIES AVERAGE $7 WHICH IS LIKE $4 HERE. Just saying.

food curry meat pie- i'm personally not a meat pie fan but i could appreciate the flavor and curry was really brought out it had a nice crunch on the outside and a great soft thin bread layer on the inside vaifala- was exactly what i was craving for , a pineapple drink with a tinge of like a coconut milk or some kind of milk to balance the drink , it had some pineapple chunks , i thoroughly enjoyed this drink and finished it almost instantly service amazing super nice employee , potentially the owner food came out super quick ambiance no real ambiance since it's a food truck but theres good vibes emitting from the truck located in the polynesian culture center when i tried it prices quite pricey i spent $18 here for a med size drink and a hand sized meat pie so be prepared to put some money down if you come

Nice selecting of baked goods and assorted Kiwi pies. Everything looked delicious. We had the bakery assortment of brownies and 2 cheese vanishes. Donuts are only $2.50! Liliikoi tarts, glazed and chocolate donuts, oh my! It's definitely worth a stop. It's a green building right on Kam Hwy. Wai is the bakery and she the real deal.

It's a food truck so I can't give it 5 stars, but the food was quite good. We walked over from our hotel to the Marketplace which has a sit-down restaurant and several food trucks. The reviews for Kiwi Korner were good so we decided to try it for dinner on a Saturday. The wife and I had the curry chicken pot pie and it was very good. The curry was mild. It came out hot and the crust was flaky and not greasy. In August 2024 one pie cost $10. The wife was full after one but I probably could have eaten another. We also had the lemonade and it was real, not from a mix. Service was efficient and friendly. It's a food truck so you order and then find a nearby table, thus there is no ambience. I would definitely go back and try one of the meat pies, which are $11.

Some of the amazing treats they have!

This little bakery is special. Definitely make it part of your trip if you're coming around the west side of Oahu just south of Laie! The treats are spectacular and the people are just awesome.

I was sadly disappointed with my experience today. We live in Waipahu,but I am from New Zealand so I was excited when my cousin told me about this place. My son and his family were camping at Kahana Bay and we were down for the day. We decided to find this store and it was pretty easy to find. We don't eat breakfast so we're pretty hungry. We bought one mince and cheese pie and because my husband told them our day's background they gave him a steak and onion pie free. The pastry was great but the pie filling had so much pepper in it that you couldn't taste the meat or cheese. It even burned my mouth and my lips were swollen and sensitive. I was able to take two bites of the mince before I had to stop eating it (my husband who has a lava mouth was happy though). I waited a while to allow my mouth some time to cool down then decided to try the steak and onion pie. It was also very peppery In fact the top pastry was even covered in pepper much like a pepper steak would be, which should have been a hint. I don't know if this is how they intended the pies to taste but we did not like them at all. We decided on two stars because they gave us the second pie free I do not think I would recommend this store in the future

It was just a day trip date to the north shore. We passed by a tiny mom & pop shop in Punalu'u.(I think) I know it was close to the fire station! The sign outside read "The Kiwi Corner " so,Australian food sounds exotic & fun! Tired of the 2 scoops rice plate lunch yah? Ok,so we reached Polynesian Cultural Center in La'ie. Lot's of different grinds there! It was the first day of summer & believe me...it was for sure hot AND humid! We walked around,did some window shopping & started to get hungry (our main goal was to catch some grinds of course!) We come upon a cute little food truck "The Kiwi Corner "!!!!!! The same one we passed in Punalu'u! We were so happy & willing to try something new! I can't wait to tell you all about this amazing experience!!! Meat pies! Polynesian refreshing drinks! Dessert parfaits! Yum,yummy & yummers! I wanted everything! Hungry husband ordered a meat & cheese pie,I got a chicken curry pie & a cool ginger beer! Dat hit dat spot! Hungry husband gobbled it down so quickly I barely got a small bite to taste! He took a shark sized bite of the chicken curry and didn't want to give it back! Well,that's not the end of the story my dear readers.... He went to order ANOTHER ONE! So,I asked for one more chicken curry pie! Yep!!! It was so delicious! Crunchy buttery crust, lots of filling (and not air like most places) Mine had tender cubed chicken breast,peas & carrots. You know,I inhaled that so quickly that I don't know if it had potatoes or not!!! He he he ! The meat & cheese was a ground beef & American cheese with a dark & rich brown gravy! Sumptuous! My ginger beer was very cold,over ice,maybe 24ozs or so. Not too sweet but just right! (Let's all quote Rap Replinger) It seemed strained because it was very clear,no pulp.I wanted more,especially on a humid day in Lai'e! Service was friendly & quick. She laughed at us when we wanted another order! Nice shady wooden tables with cute umbrellas kept us from sunburn and improved the ambiance especially with wonderful company! Please support small businesses like this. They put out really good food & great service! Good luck to them!

Chocolate banana trifle

Nestled at the very edge of the Polynesian Cultural Center parking lot is this unassuming food truck that serves the BEST MEAT PIES YOU'LL EVER HAVE. My husband and I were hungry after a long day of hikes and touristing and saw "meat pies" listed as a nearby option in the PCC pamphlet. We wandered around the dining area until we found the truck. The owner was very kind and assured us every option would be delicious. We opted to share a steak and cheese pie. That quickly turned out to be a mistake. Because we wolfed down the thing in 5 minutes and instantly regretted not getting another one. We regretted it so much we returned later that day to get another one! The steak and cheese as super juicy and cheesy on the inside, which was a nice contrast to the crispy, flaky, delicious crust. The chicken curry that we tried when we came back was so savory and flavorful - it was absolutely worth the 25 min drive to return here. We also tried the chocolate banana trifle. Oh man. I usually don't love overly sweet, chocolatey desserts but this was the perfect blend of creamy and not-too-sweet chocolate flavor. I loved the crunchy bits they add to the top to give it texture. The pineapple drink (Vaifala) was also fantastic. It is basically a creamy, heavenly pineapple drink with bits of real pineapple. So refreshing on a hot summer day. Honestly? We'll probably be back tomorrow to try the mince and cheese pie. Hands down our favorite meal in Oahu!

Steak and onion meat pie.

OMG! I almost put my foot through the floor of the car hitting the brakes when I saw the word Kiwi Pies!!!!! These are THE real deal folks, real kiwi meat pies. As good as any you will find in Aotearoa. Ordered the meat and cheese and meat and onion. The first bite took me back to our first trip to Aotearoa in 2011. Kiwi Korner also has a wonderful selection of pastries including a German Chocolate mini-cake topped with a chattily coconut cream. This is a MUST stop in Laie. Mahalo and best of luck Angie!!!!

Picked up a couple of meat pies to take home for later, loved them but I should have gone earlier as many of the fillings were not available after midday. What I did try though really was enjoyable. I would also recommend this place for one of its desserts, trifle! This was just fantastic, although seemingly a little pricey was worth every penny as you can probably see in the photo. Definitely a place worth visiting even if just for the trifle dessert!

Mince meat pie and banana trifle
Haley N.

This is easily our favorite food truck in Hukilau Marketplace! We live in Honolulu, but whenever we are able to make our way up to Laie, we make it a priority to stop here for some food. The mince meat pie is outstanding! We've also tried their steak and onion and chicken curry pie, they're usually sold out so try to be there right when they open. Their banana trifle is a nice little way to top off our meal, a delicious piece of chocolate cake layered with pudding, whipped cream, and bits of toffee... oh man I might make the drive right now! You really won't regret snagging some food at this truck! TIPS & TRICKS: * This is right outside the PCC, which is a perfect place to be if you're spending all day there. * Free all day parking on the north side of the parking lot!

I really enjoyed my burger combo here. I've been wanting to try taro hut for the longest so today I…read morefinally was in the area. They serve their burgers with taro buns AND fries!!! So so good! I got the best seller bacon burger and WOW! Soooo fresh and juicy. Their homemade sauce goes so well with the burger. They also give extra home made sauce on the side with the fries. The fries was extra crispy but the potato on the inside stayed soft. So perfect! I really enjoyed the texture on the fries too because the potato ratio was a lot! They are located in the kahuku sugar mill in a food truck right next to rys poke. friendly staff and this combo was only $18 with fries & a drink

He: Ummmm, excuse me...what? Jeri: We want Da Fun Guy, and add a slice of taro. Also an order of taro fries. Da Fun Guy is a great burger! The worker grilled a slice of taro, and it was on the side. We put it in ourselves and cut the burger into four pieces. So good! But man, those taro fries were amaaaaaaazing! Nice and crispy and very hot! I almost want to say they're double fried! This is a great place in the sea of food trucks that are all around the Sugar Mill Center. Lots of options! Mahalo Tara Hut!

Went to Ted's everyday that I was staying in the North Shore and everything we had was delicious…read more For breakfast I loved the spam egg and cheese sandwich, so good! We also tried the loco moco which was great, but it's quite a bit of food. I shared with my partner and we weren't able to finish it. One of my friends who used to live in Honolulu told me I HAVE to get the garlic shrimp and Ted's is where it's at. She was absolutely right about that!!! Best garlic shrimp I had on the trip. I wish I could go back just for the plate. We also tried the chocolate haupia pie which was delicious & the plain glazed was soooo light and fluffy. Plenty of parking in the lot & access to a public restroom. It can get busy but they're very quick with your food. Seating is outside under an umbrella.

When in the North Shore you've gotta stop at Ted's!…read more Ordered: Chocolate Haupia Cream Pie: 4.5/5 Surprise to no one that I ordered this. Honestly I liked it! I didn't think it was too sweet especially for the hour I went and got this. It's almost a little lighter than a cheesecake consistency wise so I think one slice is actually more filling than you think. It could be shareable. But the whip cream balances out the richness nicely. Loco Moco: 4/5 - My first official loco moco! It was quite tasty! Definitely a hearty meal and this one is good to feed two people easily my god. Realistically great for the price. Service: Fast during the time I went. The line was short in the morning but once I got my food it was out the door. I'd say however it moves quickly. There's plenty of seating. They even have an extra back space where the restrooms are. They have a parking lot but most people parked on the road probably assuming there wasn't space. Glad to have tried a classic!

We wanted to put together a somewhat unusual combination at the Polynesian Cultural Center,…read moreincluding the Circle Island Tour, the luau, and a private tour of the islands. We had to call to book because we couldn't add the Circle Island Tour transportation to an online reservation. The Circle Island Tour was super great, but definitely made for an early start to a very long day! If you don't have much time on Oʻahu or don't plan to rent a car, I think this is a great way to see more of the island and visit some beautiful places that you might otherwise miss. You get to sit back and let someone else handle the driving while still seeing quite a bit. We did have some confusion with our private islands tour. The PCC initially put us into a semi private tour by accident, so we had to go back and ask about the private tour we had actually booked. Our guide also started out a little less enthusiastic than some of the other private guides we saw, but she gradually warmed up and got more and more engaging as the afternoon went on. I really liked some of the perks of the private tour. You get first or second row reserved seats for the shows, and your guide takes you around the different areas so you don't have to figure out the schedule or plan everything yourself. You could easily spend multiple days exploring the different areas and activities at the PCC, but we only had an afternoon, so the private tour helped us make the most of the time we had. The luau had a lot of food options, although quite a few of them were too salty for my taste. The virgin Mai Tai served in a pineapple was fun, but I thought it tasted more artificial than some of the fresh pineapple smoothies we've had elsewhere in Hawaiʻi. The taro buns they give you when you first sit down were actually my favorite part of the meal. The luau show itself was nice, but not mind blowing. It was entertaining and gave us a good taste of the Polynesian cultural performances, but it wasn't my favorite luau we've experienced. The entire Luau is much more casual and relaxed than others. One thing to keep in mind is that tickets are not inexpensive. If you want to do several of the experiences, especially the tours, private guide, and luau, you can easily end up spending hundreds of dollars per person. There are a lot of options, but the costs can add up very quickly.

The Polynesian Cultural Center feels like a big amusement park where you get to learn about…read moredifferent Polynesian cultures, including Samoa, Tahiti, Fiji, Hawaii, and New Zealand. It's definitely an all-day experience, so plan to spend plenty of time exploring! The buffet food was good--I'd give it a 3 out of 5--but the shave ice wasn't the greatest. The gift shops were reasonably priced, and I didn't feel like everything was ridiculously expensive. Overall, it was a nice opportunity to experience and learn about the different cultures.
