    sweet chili sauce
    Angel H.

    I love Alyssandra"s lumpia. I used to buy them all the time when they were outside of KMart. I purchase from their other locations at Waikele and Ka Makana. It was my first time at this location. Their lumpias are now six for $7.95. They have banana, pork or pork with veggies. I tried all three and they're all good. I prefer the pork with veggies and the banana ones. I placed my order with the friendly cashier. She told me that it would take a few minutes as she was going to fry them fresh. I waited about five minutes. The lumpias are so good piping hot out of the fryer. I also got free sweet chili dipping sauce for the pork and veggie lumpias.

    A hidden gem I stumbled upon by visiting The Urgent Care recently. I've always had Alyssandra's Lumpia Express at Waikele Shopping Center but I didn't even realize they had a location at Pearl Kai? The more you know lol! Who doesn't love lumpia, definitely a great snack on the go. I paired this with coconut juice. I got the 6 piece which was half vegetable and half banana. Not to mention, their vinegar sauce is amazing. If you hadn't tried this location out yet, please give it a try. Service was so fast my order came out in under a minute yet they were still so hot and crispy. YUM!

    Love their lumpia. Prices went up a little. The Aunties are always nice. Sometimes they are hard to understand so make sure they repeat your order to you.

    Crunchy goodness lumpia yumminess
    Jim C.

    What took me so long? Don't be like me! Go get some now!! We all love fresh and crunchy lumpia. And Alyssandra's has your favorite, for sure. There's a veggie version, meat and veg, and the ever-fave ba-nan-nan-nana ooh-la-la. (Still drooling, thinking about it. Sorry.) They also have a mixed selection of Filipino plate lunch offerings. And Nana was so nice. When the pansit wasn't ready yet, I would've waited the 20 minutes, just because she was so nice. But... I had to go pick up my dog across the parking lot, at the vet. Sorry, the doggo takes priority over my hunger pains. Keep your doggies safe and eat lumpia from Alyssandra's. Two things that'll make you happy!

    Old pancit and gross lumpia
    Carina Y.

    Their gate doesn't open so you have to go through the kitchen from the back and inside is disgusting and dirty. Floor is sticky too. I ordered a reg plate of pancit. They give half the amount as Bautistas at pearlridge for the same price $12. And there's hardly any meat. Just a few bits of ground pork. Also I could tell their pancit was old. The noodles were soggy as if it just had been recooked. And it was too salty. I ended up throwing away the plate. Their "pork and vegetable" lumpia only has vegetable inside. Never coming back here again!!

    Long lumpias
    Jaime R.

    Alyssandra's Lumpia Express in Aiea, Oahu delivers solid, flavorful long lumpias that a good but not worth the 30-minute wait. The lumpias are packed with savory fillings and served piping hot. If you're in the mood for authentic lumpias on the island, Alyssandra's is a safe bet.

    Sweet chili & vinegar sauce
    Ashley D.

    I love Alyssandra's lumpia. I usually go to the one in Ka Makana Ali'i or Waikele. So it was nice when I found this location after taking my son to get a haircut. I'd say the wait was only like 5 min after ordering and the lumpia's came out crispy and hot. The price is very affordable for the amount that is given. Every location is consistent on their recipe and the size.

    I used to go here all the time to get my filipino food fix. Unfortunately they closed the Kalihi…read morerestaurant and now have to make the drive out to Waipahu. If you have never been here I highly recommend you trying their filipino food. Portion size is good and worth the money but the main reason you're buying their food is cause it's winnahs. I did take out a few of their menu items. Their special for July is lechon Kawali, pancit, pork gisantes and pork adobo fried rice. It's good to get this or mixed plate with 3 choices. It allows to try more of their menu selections. While one is good 3 or 4 is much better especially if coming here for the very first time. You won't be disappointed. I called in to place my order and it would be twenty minutes which is fine cause that's how long it took me to get there. The food was hot and ready to go. I made sure my ac was off so I can enjoy a nice hot lunch. The place was crowded even at 1pm. People know good food when they eat it. Lots of parking. The lechon Kawali was good. It's nice and meaty with some nice soft fat pieces. Oh so good. Yeah if you are worried about cholesterol then this might not be for you. If not you gonna enjoy it. The pancit is good. The pork gisantes which is more commonly known as pork and peas is really good. It's like stew and you wanna mix your rice with it. If you like eggs over easy then you should have that over your gisantes. It's sooooooo good. Kinda like Loco moco except it's stew. When that yolk breaks and blends in with the gisantes hoo boy. Just really good stuff there. Then the main attraction is their pork adobo fried rice omelet. I believe they were the original restaurant that brought it out. I might be wrong but they make it just right. Every bite is so good especially when you bite into one that has fat in it. Yummy. Yeah not a good choice if you're staying away from cholesterol but if not you're gonna enjoy it. The pork adobo fried rice is not dry like some other places I've tried. Ok I admit i love filipino food. I had to get dinuguan. Chocolate meat. Another winner with rice and really good with over eggs on top of it. Nice tender succulent pieces of pork. Oh my God, it's so good. I also got Shanghai lumpia. This is da bomb. You gotta eat this one hot and fresh. If not it gets stale and soggy so I ate this first. You dip it into vinegar. I like a little heat so I add Tabasco to it. Great with beer. It's so good. I'm missing it already. Then the final dish i got was their sari sari. It's soup with mixed veggies, baby shrimp and lechon. The soup is delicious and comforting. It's great on a cold night or maybe when you're feeling sick. Better than your chicken noodle soup for sure. It's also great remedy for that hangover you got last night. Lol All in all you just gotta try it. Let me know what you got and how good it tasted. Enjoy and thank me later.

I called and made a complaint and all the lady said was , sorry! I asked to speak to the manager or supervisor and she said that they don't have one. WTF! I'm calling the owners tomorrow! My daughter took a bite and started chewing and felt something hard . I'm soo upset!! Update: 7/16/26 Called Melissa the owner to address this issue. She seemed very concerned and worried about my daughter who found it in her mouth. Thank God my 1-1/2 year old grandson didn't swallow it because he was eating it with my daughter!! Sooo dangerous ! Melissa will investigate this. Thanks Melissa. This taught me a lesson , as well as having a phobia . ALWAYS check your food when buying from restaurants or fast food. I Love eating and ordering pans of food at Elena's but I'll be very careful from now on.

It's full of flavor and packed with lots of vegetables, which I really appreciated.

However, when the other restaurants, Target, etc are busy, expect to park some distance from where you want to go and walk. SERVICE: The moment we walked in, the staff looked busy and stressed. Understandably so since it's a soft opening. However, not a single greeting from front staff. Not a simple "sorry for the wait, thank you for your patience". Honestly, the wait isn't what bothers me, it's the lack of communication and unapologetic interaction from staff. A LOT of mistakes from the staff. When we finally got a table, we just sat and that's it. No menus, utensils, cups of water, etc. After getting menus, we placed an order. EVERYTHING was basically sold out or "still marinating". SUGGESTION: give the menus once guests sit, and tell them what is not available. FOOD: Very below average yet pricey. The Loco moco was dry and overcooked. The kids chicken tenders/fries were completely missing. I did see one delivered to another table and they were saying it wasn't theirs. Not sure what they did with it, but we had to wait a long time to get our order. Anything we ordered with "overeasy" eggs, came out overcooked and not runny. Maybe they leave the food under heat lamps after cooking? Or chefs just too overwhelmed to keep track. Soda is unlimited refill. But that's practically useless when we ask for refills and nobody ever brings it. Everything mentioned can be improved upon. It's not unfixable. I'm hoping the staff get better after soft opening and the cooks improve. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt since it's soft opening. I plan on returning again another day to see how they have improved.

The driver explained that when they asked the person at the restaurant if they were given everything for the order the person said yes. The driver was kind enough to wait with me until I made a phone call with Shay's to ask where the remaining part of my order was and why was it not all given to my driver. I was missing my lumpia ordered, 2 mix plates and my adobo with side rice. The lady at the restaurant whom I spoke with said that she was sorry but the person whom gave my driver the order was new in their restaurant and forgot to give the other plates in my order to my driver. She stated they were already closing and that DoorDash would be able to help me receive a refund. DoorDash did refund me and I had to reorder dinner for my kiddos through another restaurant that evening. Today September 26, 2026 my kids were craving Filipino food and because the weather is not the best to go out and eat we opted for delivery. Shame on me for giving it a second chance! My delivery driver once again showed up with half the order. When I called I spoke with Chica C. who said, "ohhhh... it was 2 plates of each 2 choice mix plate". Yes indeed there should have been 4 (2) choice mix plates in my order but instead we received 2. I asked to speak with a manager so that they could just review with staff why this is continuously happening, to avoid it happening again but was told there wasn't anyone I could speak to. I explained to her that was very disheartening because I hope this doesn't happen to others. Although DoorDash protects their customers with refunds it is still sad to order from a restaurant for your Ohana for dinner and then not everyone receives their dinner. Shay's I hope you folks will look into why this is a continuous thing, because your food is amazing but at this time I am discouraged to order again.

LOL! I told her to just meet me at Costco in Iwilei, because it's right there with free, shared parking. Service was very friendly and efficient. We were shown to a private room in the back because the front had a private party with karaoke and a DJ! It was a bit loud and quite lively! My friend had never had Filipino cuisine before. I wanted her to try pancit (noodles), but she wanted the fried rice with salted fish. I really liked it because it also had salted egg on it. It reminded me of Chinese food that my family ate at home! My friend liked the lumpia (like deep fried spring rolls) and the beautiful halohalo (shaved ice with fruits and ube ice cream) dessert. We can return for the pancit... LOL!

The restaurant is rather spacious with a ton of seating, so we always get seated right away. The servers have always been so kind, and the food never disappoints. When I was here with my parents, we had ordered Max's Teasers and it was a great plate to share with 3 people. Nothing too special about the dish, but it's a great app choice if you want a little bit of a few things/variety in your appetizer plate. The plates we shared were Max's Chicken and The Lechon Kawali. Max's Chicken is so perfectly cooked in my opinion with the most perfectly juicy meat steamed rice. The Lechon Kawali was also cooked really well, as it wasn't too fried to the point where the meaty parts of the pork was difficult to chew. I also had the Sago't Gulaman, and I will tell you that it's my favorite place to get Sago't Gulaman here. The second time I went, I brought my husband and he absolutely fell in love with the food too. For drinks, we ordered Calamansi Juice and Sago't Gulaman. You guys know my review for Sago't Gulaman; I would just say that the Calamansi Juice is on the sweeter side! For food, we ordered Lechon Kawali Sisig, and the Dinuguan. The Dinuguan was just the perfect meal to have to remind me of home. The ratio of the sauce and meat was perfect, and every bite was delightful. But between the two, I will say that the Lechon Kawali Sisig was MY personal favorite. The flavor was PERFECT and it was cooked just as well--it was tender and every bite was even better than the last...I definitely had to pace myself because it was that delicious. What always tops off my experience and why I'm giving Max's a 5/5 is because of how friendly and amazing the staff is. Always smiling and willing to help, and never snobby! Go visit Max's today!

When the food is ready, you get a text, pick-up is on the kitchen-side, backdoor. We'd heard good things about their steak, dynamite chicken, and ahi katsu so we wanted to try all three. There is a chicken + meat combo that allows you to upgrade the meat to ribeye; we ordered this plate with all green salad. Then we ordered the King Kam ahi katsu with rice and upgraded the side to imitation crab salad. If you love sauce, this is for you. Their fried items are nicely cooked, the ahi katsu had a nice rare center and the boneless chicken was still juicy, but both lost their crispness under a mountain of seasoned soy sauce, Kewpie mayo, sriracha aioli, and sweet chili sauce. With the additional garlic, katsuobushi, furikake, and green onion, these are flavor bombs. The ribeye had a nice char from the grill. It's served with a side of crack sauce which has a vinegar, fish sauce base, plus chili, garlic and cilantro. The heat from the steak and chicken withered the bed of green salad underneath, so we didn't eat it; serves us right for not getting rice and mac salad with a plate lunch. At Kingz, more is more.

It truthfully completed everything. We ordered the sampler set, the adobo fried rice special, kare kare, and the lechon. Everything tasted great! The adobo fried rice was a little on the vinegary side for me. The taste was powerful, but everyone else loved it. The kare kare was my favorite. It was savory and just had a comforting taste to it. I'd order this again for sure. The restaurant is on the smaller side, so seating could be a little tough during peak hours. Same goes for parking, it's a shared parking lot with other places in the complex. But the service is welcoming and the cashier was so helpful guiding us on what to order and describing the meals.

    For our dinner we were served with the following dishes: Snails simmered in coconut milk, green…read moremango slices, pinakbet, garlic butter prawns, Insalada with bagoong na isda, Lechon kawali, grilled Hito, Bulalo soup, pork barbecue on a stick, freshly fried Turon, Biko and Karioka. We were spoiled to the max! The owners and their family run the place and in true Filipino hospitality, they served us buffet/family style and entertained us with their stories from their humble beginnings to what they are today. The food was the best I've had in the Island. Hands down. Everything tasted nostalgic because the technique used in cooking each dish tasted like a handed down recipe from a grandma's kitchen from back home in the motherland. If you're ever in the island of Oahu please make your way to Waipahu and sample as much of their offerings as you can and I can guarantee you will not be disappointed! 10/10 recommended coming from a humble cook who rarely raves about Filipino food because I myself learned from my paternal grandmother.

    Stumbled upon this place because had to go get a haircut for my nephew at the Waipahu plantation…read moremarketplace. They're located on the corner and once you see a tent & smell bbq, you're at the right spot. This restaurant gave karinderia vibe to it! Karinderia is basically like those food stalls they have in the Philippines, where they have a bunch of dishes and you sit out to enjoy the food. Home cooked & affordable eats. They have everything from bbq sticks, adobo, lechon, kilawan, lumpia and more. I got the bbq stick & chicken inasal plate. The bbq stick was packed with so much flavor! The chicken inasal was more on the huli huli side & was served with Filipino dipping sauce. They also offer free sabaw with your meal. Ordering was a little complicating, they have a menu outside with food and also more food inside. The bbq items were cooked by order and the inside food had more of the Filipino dishes like (adobo). But next to the cashier, you could also find other fried dishes as well. So a little complicated. You also have the option to sit outside under the tent or inside the restaurant with AC. For this type of place, if you're dining in, you order & eat first then pay. Like any karindera. Overall, this place was VERY good & SUPER AFFORDABLE. If you want to experience a true Filipino experience with great food, this place is for you.
