They serve a variety of Puerto Rican food with a hawaiian twist. I decided to have the steak, shrimp and laulau. It also comes with gandule rice and macaroni salad. The flavors are fire. Steak is a nice medium rare which is to my personal preference and the shrimp is delicious with a creamy unique sauce. The ratio of pork, fat and greens in the luau is so well balanced. As for the gandule rice, it is by far the best I have ever eaten. Every morsel is perfectly flavored. This is a special treat when you want to have a cheat day. This is truly one of the best places to eat on the island. Chef's kiss to Guudfellaz.

They were situated in between the business in a sort of "hall/alley" area. I would have missed them if it wasn't for the crowd of people and me wondering what is going on? So generous to use his valuable time to hand out his delicious products and not ask for $. Mister and I both got the brownie with chantily icing. It was a fair enough piece and the chantilly was topped upon ordering. I didn't take a photo thinking it probably wasn't going to be much to share about, boy was I so wrong. We ate our brownie further down the shopping center, after I took the first bite, I went back to notice the name of the business because I intend to shop there next time around! The brownie was moist, and the chantilly was not too sweet, it was a perfect and yummy combination. Mister enjoyed the iced coffee too. THANK YOU FOR THE FREE STUFF!

Other choices were Green Tea, Cotton Candy, Cookies n Cream, Rainbow Sherbet, and Vanilla... 2 more but I don't recall... Rocky Road maybe? I know they didn't have coconut or mac nut because those are my other faves I usually get. In all, good variety to satisfy everyone. They also offer snacks and have the "Famous Waffle Dog." It smelt so yummy but I already ate so didn't get to try it. The others were just microwaveable types of snacks perfect for after school. It is a bible bookstore so of course it was very welcoming with great customer service. Oh yeah, there is a great selection of Christian books/DVDs and shirts also.

Super unassuming spot on the Westside. I originally heard of Pokai Bay through a Youtuber, Sean…read moreKaleponi, and wow did he deliver on this rec. This is one of the spots where you won't find a single tourist, because not many venture out to this area. Definitely a local casual spot, but they serve up some delicious food. There was one guy, Angel, working the front and there are plenty of tables inside. We ordered the fried noodles and hurricane chicken for about $20 and shared among 3 of us. I am still dreaming about this dish. The saimin noodles were soo flavorful and had the perfect chew. The hurricane chicken was fried to perfection, juicy, and packed with flavor. SO GOOD. Even if you aren't in the area, I'd put this spot on the list of foods to try on O'ahu.

A case of baked goods draws your attention at the front counter. We were greeted and told to sit anywhere. The table service is friendly and attentive. Our server told us about the popular garlic chicken or fish fishes. The menu offers breakfast and lunch options. The portion of Garlic Chicken was huge (shareable). The coating was crispy but the sauce was overly sweet for me. Mac salad was good. I substituted the rice for green salad, which was fresh and delicious. My daughter had the Two Egg Breakfast came with four large pieces of bacon. She substituted rice for green salad. The eggs were perfectly cooked. Her breakfast was perfect. They do not have a kid's menu, so we shared our meals with my granddaughter, which was fine as we had a lot of food. Our server brought an extra plate for her. They serve ice cream and have a selection of beautiful desserts but we were full so will return to try out. There is a small private parking lot. The restaurant is walkable from the park/beach.

I ordered the dinosaur creature sundae because it was so cute and my little daughter is Dino crazy. I also ordered a two scoop sundae as well. The order came and the dinosaur creature sundae looked nothing like the ad. When I brought it up, Justin said"We are out of the cups" I explained that the cups are what makes it dino. He says"I just work here" yes, yes you do which is why you should service what you sell. I said,"ok, you should have told me that when I paid extra for it" He again said " I just work here" Besides the terrible customer service, the serving size for both items was not at all what the photos state. Very disappointed.

Was visiting friends in Makaha and they introduced me to this off-the-beaten-path little gem I…read morenever knew about! The place was empty when we arrived so we had a chance to look over the menu before we ordered. Nothing fancy about the place but it was clean and a little dark. There were three of us so we wanted to make sure we had enough for a couple of meals. It was a Saturday so their phone was ringing off the hook and folks were stopping in to pick up their orders, which seems to be the majority of their business. The lady who assisted us was quick and we received our huge order within 20 minutes. Everything was YUMMY and we had enough food for three meals, so be prepared to be well-fed and satisfied. If it wasn't so far away (I Iive in Kaka'ako) I'd make it a regular stop.
