Stellar authentic Hawaiian restaurant and one that i go back to again and again. Pork lau lau is delicious with a good amount of meat and leaves. Poi is fresh and outstanding. Kalua pig is perfect. Chicken long rice is among the best on the island. Roasted sweet potatoes and haupia was also favorites. Machiko chicken was amazing as was the fresh watercress soup.
Today was my last full day in Oahu and I decided I wanted to get some local dishes before leaving. We went for a late lunch/early dinner and so glad we did. The exterior is already super inviting and the interior is big and airy - which was very welcoming. Angelo was our server and he was super helpful! We wanted to try many dishes so he gave us some tips on what were must haves vs. something we could get elsewhere. We got the tasting plate with all the local dishes - my favorite was the squid luau with pod, chicken long rice, and Lau Lau with chili water. We also got the mochiko chicken with Mac salad, smoked moco, and peluha short ribs served on a sizzling plate. Also tried the onion and salt! Every dish was delicious and we ate almost everything! Thank you Angelo for making us feel so welcomed! :)
Very unique experience trying the Hawaiian combo - pork lau lau plate. I liked the kalua pork and squid luau. The huapia was fresher than other restaurants. It’s a good way to try the Hawaiian foods!
The Smoked Meat Loco Moco was so good. And of course the Hawaiian combo was great too. Where else can you get Butterfish Collar? Onolicious!!!
Whenever I return home to Honolulu I make it a point to make at least one trip out to Highway Inn in Waipahu. I really enjoyed the Laulau, lomi salmon, pipikaula and poi. The laulau is just loaded with pork and extremely flavorful! They always have super friendly and courteous staff to help you.

Authentic Hawaiian flavors served with aloha spirit since 1947.
