We caught the owner cooking a fresh batch of chicken. It was juicy, tender, and actually so flavorful as if it were marinated for a longgg time. The meat was perfectly cooked - there was a nice chew and char. It would've hit with mac salad or plain rice to balance the saltiness. We did also order a portuguese sausage roll and I highly recommend getting one. Apparently the rice is from Hokkaido and it's really good quality Japanese sushi rice that's seasoned well with vinegar and mustard. I loved the food and would 10/10 revisit and tell others about. The store's looks might be deceiving and it's really easy to miss, but the owner is doing amazing things in there!
Super unassuming spot that serves up the juiciest, tender, and flavorful fried mochiko chicken. It's easy to miss on the side of the highway, but if you happen to drive over here, make a pitstop. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside of the store looks like you walked into someone's house that is in dire need of some organizing lol.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But don't be fooled, the older lady chefs up some incredible grub. I didn't see any menu displayed so you kinda have to know what to get before you get here. Just ask for an order of the fried chicken. When I ordered, the lady casually walked to the back of the store into the dark kitchen and started frying up the chicken right there. It was about $12 for about 4 generous pieces of chicken and wow that chicken was mother clucking good.
[[HIGHLIGHT]]A very unassuming shop with a modest interior and exterior, very easy to pass by if you go too fast driving.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Inside, you don't even know they serve one of the best crispy chicken (mochiko chicken) and solid maki (the roll was tuna, carrot, and egg) since there is no menu in sight and the store is like a general store. The mochiko chicken itself was about $10 and the maki was $8, offering a pretty good value snack. The chicken is so flavorful and juicy, with the right amount of sweet and savory, and the flour is just the right amount. We wanted to get seconds but we went on quite a food tour hitting 6 different spots so we were absolutely stuffed. The maki is good but I found it a bit too vinegary. Make sure to bring paper plates as the wrapper is a bit flimsy and you'll want to eat it fresh. They give a good amount of tuna and egg and it was still a pretty solid roll even though it doesn't really align to my taste preferences. Definitely ask and order the mochiko chicken!!
We was visiting a friend and heard about this local run store that served Michiko chicken & Hawaiian Style local Maki sushi, surviving 3 generations local family, decided to check it out. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I passed the store many times throughout my life, but it always looked like it was closed and never notice any cars or anyone around.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It brings me back to my younger days when there was no large chain supermarket that were available near the community, and there was a lot of mom & pop stores selling candies, bread, milk. Eggs and can goods and kerosene your little local community store where everyone meet and talk story with the owners and fellow community families. Yes! While there the owner was a friendly lady that was very enjoyable talking with and even though it wasn't the type of modern store of today the nostalgia cannot be ignored. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Off road parking in front the store and store if there is more than 3-4 customers it would be crowded.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]
We bookmarked Waikane Store after seeing the reviews on Yelp and a video from Amanda and Felix Eats. As soon as we learned about this little hidden gem we knew we had to try it. We even made a special trip to this side of the island just to catch them while they were open. You could easily pass them right by if you weren't looking for them, but they did have a couple pop up flags by the road to attract attention, one said "Fried Chicken" while the other signaled "now open". The parking lot is less of an actual parking lot and more of a driveway, but it creates an easy spot to pull off and stop in, if it's already full you should be able to park off the street within walking distance. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The shop itself is VERY small. You can probably only fit 2-3 people at a time with room to look around. This spot is the definition of a small hole in the wall spot, but there's a reason it's been around since 1898![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were greeted kindly by the owner and she was pleased to hear that we already knew about the mochiko chicken and maki. The chicken is sold by weight and the maki is sold by the roll. They also have little snacks, drinks, and even board wax available. We ended up each getting a container of chicken and I got a roll for later. We ended up devouring the chicken at the car. It was amazing, so flavorful and the rice flour coating made it both crunchy and chewy with the perfect seasoning. My husband ended up going back in to buy more chicken and we ended up getting some fresh from being fried, it was HOT and even juicier than the first batch. If we could have brought it home with us we would have bought even more, it was that good. This will definitely be something we crave going forward and will be a must visit spot anytime we visit this island. A very small business, but it has big flavor and great customer service.
Drove a few extra miles to this little hole in the wall because of reviews on Yelp. [[HIGHLIGHT]]First of all you pull up and you are not sure if they are open. Looks like the little store has had better days on the inside and outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] That being said a friendly older woman takes our very basic order of chicken and cooked tuna roll which the two of us are sharing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is no where to sit inside so we walk to a closed fruit stand with a roof to get out of rain to eat.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The chicken was amazingly moist. My friend wondered how she could prepare it that way. Very Ono. The sushi roll was good and large. Although I wish there was soy sauce available. We were happy and satisfied. Visiting here felt like visiting a grandmother's house that unorganized yet well prepared very tasty food.
I can't remember where I had read about Waikane Store, but I had just pau Kailua beach and needed lunch. Google mapped it and there it was, on the side of Kamehameha Hwy. Look for the bright chicken flag! Parking is a little limited, but most people who stop, get their goods and go. [[HIGHLIGHT]]When you walk in, it is a store. It's been around forever![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My first thought was, "there's food here?" But a friendly hello and I just asked for the fried chicken and maki sushi. This is made old school style, tuna, egg, and carrots, wrapped in delicious sushi rice and nori. The wax paper wrapping reminded me of when my mom use to make it. Soooooooo ONOOOOO! The mom and son who run the store are so sweet and kind. They were selling a special soy sauce and gave me some chicken and maki to sample. It's really good and I should've bought a bottle. The chicken is simple; dusted in flour and pan fried. Some parts might come out a little charred, but I happen to like it. I did come back one more time to try the portuguese sausage maki, which is grilled and served with a light spread of Chinese hot mustard. Soooooo goooooood! I belong to this FB foodie group and posted my first visit. They were so appreciative, Alden gave me a Spam musubi on the house. They make it with fried Spam and sushi rice. I can't get it like this on the mainland! They do it right! If you are in the area, and need snacks or a soda, definitely stop by and pick up food to go! You won't be sorry! Mahalo Alden and Aunty!
Update: after our last visit , a year ago! Lunch time & had to stop for aunty's mochiko chicken & maki sushi roll. Parking was filled , but we did manage to get a spot . [[HIGHLIGHT]]Store was packed with customers& the store was packed with mostly things from the way past everywhere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The mom / son team was busy in the kitchen friendly to all their customers& filling their orders! The mochiko chicken is fried to a crispy burn in some areas & so '' Ono'' tasty & delicious. Aunty says the rice in the sushi is imported from Japan& the sushi is the kine Old school Maki sushi! Happy that Waikane Store is still open after over 125 years. & that Mom & Son are great proprietors! Looking forward to going more often!
Great chicken! Super friendly service! Definitely recommend coming to see them for some chicken.
When you walk in you instantly feel home. The ambiance of friendly service, the aunty is so sweet and the owner gets happy to see new business coming in especially through social media! The chicken is soo good and juicy. Hands down the best chicken I've ever had. Every time I'm on the east side I will make it a point to visit the waikane store, and I hope everyone does as well - local and/or tourists, everyone must all go!
So it's a little drive to get here specially if you're staying in any of the tourist areas. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a very small market with barely standing room inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Not much room to park in front either. It's a mom and son operation but they are very friendly and very nice. The mochiko chicken is totally worth the drive. It's juicy, flavorful, and so Ono. If you have the time to cruise up for a quick grab and go meal definitely check them out!
Today I had a celebration of life @ Kualoa Ranch so I decided stop at Waikane Store . Many years ago I use to stopped by for their chicken and sushi. This small Ma and pop store is located right after crossing the Waikane bridge heading Northbound on Kam Hwy. it's a small store so it's easy to miss. Today i ordered their Maki sushi and their Portuguese Maki. It was very good and customer service is always pleasant. Support local

The sweetest lady and son (?) working together. Chicken came out pipping hot and was juicy and delicious. The roll was warm and had a tangy flavor from the rice vinegar. A true mom and pop shop! read more

It's a cute little store. I stop to get chicken and that's all I get. I haven't tried their sushi and I'm sure it's awesome. Run like a true mom and pop store it's easy to miss if you're speeding so slow down. It's a small store but over 100 years old and I'm sure providing the same awesome service. The chicken is tasty and I always enjoyed it. The people there are friendly and hard working. So if I'm ever passing Kualoa Ranch, this is a pit stop before the shrimp shacks!! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This store is such a good representation of home.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very small and unassuming, with the sweetest aunty and her son who run the place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The chicken is packed tight in the paper boat and saran wrapped, and the sushi made with hokkaido rice rolled into a paper wrapping. Those are the main 2 things this store offers, and they do those two things exceptionally well. Aunty knows the regulars and is very excited to meet new customers. read more

Located on the side of Kam Highway, look for the red pop-up banners or you'll miss it! It's a small parking lot area right up front, usually cars parking parallel to the storefront. When inside, it's a quaint shop, with snacks and drinks to choose from. Don't let the cashier area scare you (it's just years of memories floating around; you'll see what I mean when you get there). They take major credit cards, so that you don't have to worry about cash only options. The owners are very warm and welcoming, chatting and talking story while you're waiting for your items. The chicken is fresh, made-to-order, and the maki is hand-rolled daily. The flavors are comforting though my only wish is that the rice is not so wet in the maki. All in all, we need to keep places like this alive because there aren't many of them left! read more

This little mom and pop store has been here for 80yrs! You know they're doing something right. They're known for their maki sushi hand rolls and their boneless Mochiko chicken! Always made fresh daily and usually sells out as quick as they can make it! Stop in and say hi to Alden (son & chef) and his mom on register. read more

On our way to Koolau Beach Park, we stop by this spot. Based on the reviews on yelp this was a definite must stop to try. I waited in the car while hubby went in. I should've gone in too so that I can see what they had but since this area was his childhood hangout I trusted he would choose well. And he did! The smell coming from the store was a good sign cause it was making my tummy growl. He grabbed marinated grilled chicken and a roll of tuna maki. Sitting at the beach and enjoying the food was so nice. Good food, good company, and the weather was outstanding! Great day! read more

A true mom & pop store - The chicken is JUICY, JUICY, JUICY!!!!! We stopped by to get some Chicken and sushi rolls before heading to the Kuoloa Regional Park down the street. The owners were incredibly friendly and sweet! The chicken is soft, tender, and full of flavor! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I wish they had a restaurant but I can see they have been operating this roadside store for a long time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Glad we were able to stop by and will do so again when back in HI! read more

Five stars! Highly recommended! The last time had the chicken and maki sushi was almost 20 years ago (since my work moved to town)! Was in the area and had to stop by to fulfill some nostalgic ono food cravings and boy, it did not disappoint! The maki sushi was super moist and delicious with the first bite. The flavor is perfect! Even in Japan or anywhere in Hawaii, no sushi can compare to here. It was like the scene in the movie Ratatouille, where the food critic took a bite and instantaneously took him back to the good ole days. I had the exact same experience! So delicious! The chicken was just as amazing and I had the exact the same experience as with the maki sushi, with my eyeballs rolling backward! So awesome! I will definitely stop by again (& again) to enjoy this wonderful experience! Highly recommend. A must have! Please keep up the great work! Waikane Store is a definite Hawai'i treasure! read more

If you're in the area, you must stop at this hole in the wall mini mart for the chicken and maki sushi (about $16 for one each). We got the extra crispy and Portuguese sausage sushi. The rice is special flown from Japan and auntie puts a little hot mustard. I'm Japanese and Filipino so it tastes like home to me. So good! The owners are really nice. There's no place to eat so take it to the park by Mokoli'i (China Man's Hat) or a nearby park. read more

Thank you for stopping by!
When we are on the Windward side, we love to stop at Waikato Store for two things: mochiko chicken and maki sushi rolls. The chicken is fried up as you order it, so this is not a fast food place. It comes out in those old-school paper boats wrapped in plastic wrap, and I swear it's so hot that I don't know how it doesn't melt the plastic. Maybe it does, because the hot juices tend to get all over the place, lol. Note to self: think ahead & bring some glass containers to keep it in!! The chicken isn't the typical heavily breaded mochiko style...I don't even know if it's officially called mochiko, come to think of it (there are no signs or menus up, so it's one of those ifykyk things), but it's very tasty, pan fried boneless chicken thighs that you just cannot stop eating. The old-school maki sushi rolls are also freshly rolled & rolled up in waxed paper. They're the perfect partner for the chicken. Just a note about the Waikane Store--it's delightfully old school, and there's a little bit of everything in there. It's a tiny little place on the side of the road, and if they didn't put up the inflated wavy-armed man thing, you might drive right by it. But it's just a great little mom & pop (actually son) place. Such nice folks and a fun tradition for us! read more
