    Lobster Roll
    Grace W.

    We enjoy coming here for the lobster roll but recently the price has gone up. The market price in March was $45 which makes it quite an expensive lunch. You do get decent chunks of lobster though. The seasoning seems to have changed a bit. Seems to have more seasoning than prior times. It is also on their dinner menu but being a sandwich makes it seem more fitting for lunch. It is not on their Pau Hana menu, so if you're there between 3-5 pm the lobster roll is not available and there are only four small bites to choose from.

    Pan fried chicken thigh
    Crystal A.

    Came here on a Sunday for brunch and it was fairly busy. It can get loud especially with larger parties. The waitress was very attentive and our food came out quick. I got the honey walnut chicken and mochi waffles, which was delicious. My friend got the pan fried chicken thigh, which she said she enjoyed. It was a coconut chicken over a salad and a side of rice. For dessert, we got coconut and mango sorbet. Both was tasty and creamy! I'd definitely come back to try other items on the menu.

    Oysters and  Hawaiian Clam Chowder
    Bry R.

    I've always heard good things about the breakfast brunch here so we went here on Valentine's Day on a weekend I believe in the morning and it was pretty busy. The restaurant itself is very lovely inside and the ambience is very calming but modern and chic at the same time. The bar is beautiful with a mirrored back and the bottles everywhere that create a classy sense of the bar. The brunch was impressive and I asked myself why I haven't come here earlier! The Hawaiian Clam Chowder was a decent sized portion and not to clam like tasting. I wished there were more actual clams in the soup, but I was glad it did come with some bread. The oysters were a good size. I can't remember exactly the type of oysters, but the sauce it came with was delicious. The espresso martinis were pretty good. Although I wish that they used freshly brewed espresso from what I believe they didn't. But the breakfast bowl was the highlight of the meal for me. It's a great balance of meat and vegetables and salty and crunchy and soft textures. It really is a breakfast bowl that I would eat every day. The braised beef loco moco was also pretty good. Although the gravy could've been a little tastier, but was still delicious. I like the thin fried onion rings that came with the loco moco because it created a nice balance and added texture to the dish. I wish there were mushrooms in the loco moco lol. I would definitely come here again breakfast/brunch in the future.

    We chose this location due to a friend's recommendation. We reviewed the menu online before arriving, so we knew what we wanted to order. When we got there, they gave us a lunch menu and told us they changed the menu that day. It was their first day with a new menu and hadn't updated their website yet. My heart was set on the garlic chicken and mochi waffles so I was upset cause the lunch menu wasn't my jam. However, the server informed the manager, and he was able to accommodate my request for the chicken and waffles. I was really appreciative that they were able to do that! Had a nice meal and tasty drinks.

    Grilled Kona Kampachi
    Samantha H.

    This is now my favorite meal at this restaurant. I am a pescatarian, so I get this at least twice a week. It's so good. I highly recommend it if you like fish. The service is always great. Never really busy when I go in, typically go in around 830-900 on the weekends without a reservation. My boyfriend gets the Loco Moco (he thinks it's one of the best on the island). The restaurant is located inside Foodland, but it's a really nice, clean, aesthetically pleasing place inside My only issue is that I try to call and order ahead for a to-go order, but I can rarely get through.

    We came on Mother's Day during brunch hours so the service was a bit slow as expected. The food took about 25 minutes to come out after ordering and we got the fresh catch, clam chowder, and lobster roll. The lobster roll...while it had a generous portion of lobster meat, some pieces tasted a bit..off. Like slightly stinky after taste. And too much mayo/sauce on the bottom made it feel like a soggy $45 mayonnaise sandwich. The fries and clam chowder were really good though. My water was also empty and no one came to refill it until after we asked for the check. Overall not bad but could be better

    Maui Beets
    Nikki U.

    I've always wanted to try this place out and I was glad I did. We ordered the Maui Beets, Tagliatelle, and et al. Burger. The beets were just so yummy. They had a tangy sauce that was bright and lively and paired well with the earthy beets. The tagilatelle was also good, but quite small for the price. Finally, the burger was good, kind of your average burger but the fires where AMAZING, super crispy. I think this place is good but its pretty expensive for the amount of food you get.

    Truffle Hamakua Mushroom Risotto
    Lauree T.

    I went here for my birthday dinner because I've heard great things about et al. They did not disappoint !! This mushroom risotto was so good I couldn't stop eating it. It has a very strong and nice flavor, adding chicken on top helped balance out the flavors nicely as well. The staff was very attentive and gave us great recommendations from the menu. Not to mention, the restaurant is SO beautiful. It has to be the nicest restaurant I have seen in a while and I love the elegant feel.

    Crispy Soft-Shell Crab Benedict, Braised Short Rib Loco Moco, Garlic Chicken and Mochi Waffle, et al. Burger
    Xin L.

    I came here after graduation with some friends, we walked in with no reservation and were able to get seated fairly quickly. However, I would say if you wanted "good" seating, I would recommend reserving a spot as we had to settle for the large shared table in the middle of the establishment, sitting between two different parties. The service was okay, nothing exceptional. We ordered: * Et Al Burger: 10/10, my friend ordered this and he said it was very good. The meat was done perfectly (medium rare) and the fries were a good pairing. * Chicken & Waffles: 10/10, my other friend ordered this and we all got to try a bite. The black sesame butter was perfection and amazing addition to the waffles and syrup. The chicken also came with like a Korean fried chicken syrup (kind of reminds me of zippys iykyk). * Short Rib Loco Moco: 8/10. I got this, it was okay, it was flavorful but the short rib / gravy flavor wasn't really appealing to me in that moment. I liked the fried onions which helped to break up the textures. * Soft-Shell Crab Benedict: 9/10. Another of my friends got this and I got to have a bite. I think this was pretty good and I liked all aspects of it (especially the side of hashbrowns hah). Our main critique was the small portion, as most people I've been that served benedict dishes would have two benedicts not just one. Overall, I would recommend this spot to others. I don't think I would personally come back though, as there weren't many items that sparked my interest (maybe besides the chicken & waffles, which I got to try already this time) and the price point/ portion don't particular draw me in.

    Service was actually really good, which almost makes me feel bad for leaving a not-so-amazing review. The restaurant is located inside the Kahala Foodland Market with lots of parking, which is a big plus. It's a small, cute spot with great colors and thoughtful seating arrangements. The bar area is especially cute. My friend and I came for pau hana during happy hour, which runs daily from 2:30 to 5 p.m. We ended up ordering almost everything on the happy hour menu, as we usually do. The fries were honestly the only standout for us. You really can't go wrong with fries, and these were solid--crispy, well-seasoned, and satisfying. The arancini didn't quite hit for me. They were a bit soggy and lacked flavor, with a slight bitter aftertaste that threw things off. The chicken was also somewhat soggy. We were expecting something closer to crispy, crunchy Korean fried chicken, so this may have just been a misunderstanding on our part, but it wasn't what we were hoping for. The sliders were decent. Simple and straightforward--nothing bad, nothing amazing. They definitely could've used some ketchup or an extra sauce for more flavor. The bone marrow was very oily, which is expected, but the texture was a little off. It felt rubbery and was harder to eat than usual. I've had marrow many times and usually love it, so this one was a bit disappointing. The grilled sourdough that came with it, though, was good. My friend ordered a cocktail (I can't remember the name), but she really enjoyed it--and it was super cute, pink, and pretty. Overall, the space is lovely and the service was attentive and kind. While the food didn't fully land for us this time, I'd still consider coming back to try other items, especially given the great service and convenient location.

    Crispy Soft-Shell Crab Benedict
    Hypatia P.

    Went for lunch and the food was great! This was my second time here. Last time I ordered the risotto and it was so delicious but I wanted to try something else this time. I ordered the soft shell crab egg Benedict and it was so yummy. All the flavors really went well together. It also game with an ulu and potato rostini (similar to hash browns.) While the flavors were good, it was very hard and difficult to eat. It's a pretty small restaurant, but very nice ambiance and the tables are spread out enough to where you don't feel too crowded. The service was also good and our server was able to give us good recommendations on what to order.

    This is a conveniently located, lively restaurant within the Kahala market place under the freeway. It is crowded but gives you an excuse to browse in the adjacent poke and dessert sections in the market as you wait. Service is excellent and there is a full bar. They also have their own signature cocktails. There are tables as well as counter high tables in the bar. We sat at a table but the bar scene was enticing. Now the food... Maui beets were a tasty starter. The beets were crunchy and fresh and we added on arugula to complete the salad. It comes with oranges and a tangy lemon pesto dressing. Also has pistachios for texture and chèvre for a creamy funk. The braised short rib loco moco was one of the best loco interpretations I've tasted. The gravy was thick and umami and complemented the garlic rice. Also had a large piece of succulent short rib. The citrus brined pork chop was generous portioned but slightly dry. It is prepared medium well but I have trichinosis paranoia so was ok with the temperature. The apricot glaze and pomegranate reduction was flavorful. The chopped salad with chicken truffle sherry vinaigrette was average. Definitely would opt for the beet salad next time. Definitely will return and sample other drinks and dishes.

    Valentine's Day cocktail and beets salad
    Kathryn D.

    One of the best meals I have ever had in Hawaii. The flavors and thoughtfulness reminded me of some of the best farm-to-table SoCal restaurants. I went for Valentine's Day and it was a wonderful meal! We ordered the salad, a soup, the burger, a pasta and drinks. Highly recommend for special occasions or just to treat yourself! The cocktails also stood out to me, definitely worth the splurge. The service was also noticeably impressive, despite being a busy dinner rush for the occasion. This place is a hidden gem, and while I hope the word doesn't get out too fast so I can still book a table with ease....I won't gatekeep what has become a standout Oahu restaurant!

Parking was scarce, but we managed to find a spot nearby in the neighborhood. It was a Saturday around lunchtime, and we were able to be seated immediately. We didn't really know what we were doing with the menu, so our server ordered whatever she thought we would like. She did a great job. We got the Pipikaula short ribs, kalua pig, lomi lomi salmon, poi, mac salad, and fried butterfish collar.  Everything was so good! My favorite two items were the short ribs and the butterfish collar. The short ribs were so meaty with a nice firm texture and had a yummy sweet marinade. The fried butterfish collar was crispy and dripping with buttery goodness.  Trying poi for the first time was such an interesting experience as well. I had always wondered what it tasted like. I had always thought it was going to be like a sweet taro paste dessert, but it's actually more like a starch and serves the same role as rice! Its neutral flavor allows you to pair it with your proteins. It adds a bit of texture and helps you feel full. I was really grateful for finally getting to try it and loved learning something new! I had a great time at Helena's. The food was delicious, and I got to learn more about traditional Hawaiian cuisine. I totally recommend it. Great vibes.

We went with what's recommended for first timers - laulau pork, you eat the leaves everything and it's filling and delicious - short ribs, some might say it's overcooked but I think it's just a different way of cooking and eating it, the pieces were thick and high quality, comes with 4 - Loki salmon, it's cured and this reminds me of ceviche or pico de gallo and salmon, it was flavorful, juicy and refreshing - comes with onions and salt to add to the complexity of the flavors - we ate it with poi, which they use as the starch to replace the rice. It's made of taro, I say give it a try for that unique and authentic experience - coconut jelly was yummy They accept cash and card Limited parking in the front, come in right before 5:30 on a weekday to beat the crowd Small family business vibes The experience lives up to the hype!

The staff was super nice about it and was able to accommodate us, with only a small request that we be out by 8pm since there was another big party with a reservation coming in. Absolutely reasonable. They sat us right away at three large tables, which gave us plenty of space for food and didn't force us to sit super close together. Menus, waters, plates, napkins, and forks were all brought out immediately, and our waiter was quick to take our order. We started with the prix fixe menu for 8-10 guests and were going to add other items à la carte, but a handful of our group accidentally went to the other Side Street location (make sure your group is all on the same page), so what we ordered ended up being more than enough. We left stuffed and with 5 boxes of food still. Edamame was nice and steamy, and large enough to easily pop the beans out with your mouth. Wish there was a bit more salt though. The farmer's salad had everything going on from citrusy to salty to crispy. Avocado had a little bit of oxidation but the capers, dressing and potato curls provided plenty of reasons to overlook it. The fried rice came in a hefty portion, with sizable pieces of bacon and sausage. The chicken I didn't realize was boneless based on the shape of the deep fry, but it was nice to freely bite into it without worrying about hitting anything with my teeth. Probably a bit too much on fried bits but still good. Pork chops had a better meat to crisp ratio in my opinion, as well as juiciness. They even came with ketchup on the side, which I love as a pairing but don't see much of at restaurants. My favorite meat item was definitely the sizzling boneless kalbi. The presentation on the sizzling plate with a side of kimchi was spectacular, and the meat was full of flavor. We also ordered yakisoba, which wasn't part of the prix fixe. Tasted good but nothing past standard expectations. We let the waiter know we had a 30th birthday at the table, and they brought a couple scoops of vanilla ice cream with a candle, and did a decent job getting the whole room to participate in the singing. It could also be the type of crowd this place attracts, since it seemed that everyone was so friendly and approachable. Thanks to the quick and consistent service, we were out in a little over an hour with no complaints.

Any of their poke that is spicy, I get. This place is a personal favorite of mine because of the Fireball and Firecracker... spice is life! This is definitely a place that I recommend to people who are going to Oahu for their first time. The ladies who work at this location are a hoot. They're so chill, funny, patient, and hard workers. They let you sample and make sure you get your food. This place sees consistent business, we were there eating our food and always saw customers coming in and coming out. This location isn't really a 'sit-down' place but you can nibble on your poke for a minute before you take off. Inside is small, but clean, and you'll find a picture of Guy Fieri on the wall. The parking is not the easiest so pray for parking before you come :)

    I ORDERED THE FISH AND CHIPS AND A POKE BOWL (Limu Ahi)…read more The cod for the fish and chips was fried well but the Mac salad and the fries were both too salty for me. I don't think the poke was fresh (in my opinion). I did a uberEats delivery so I don't know if that had anything to do with that. Next time I'll get it at the store to see if the fish is fresher if I get it directly from counter.

    I loved it here. Truly a hole in the wall. Parking is really tough so street parking is usually…read moregonna be the norm unless you get lucky in their tiny shared parking lot. The guava bar was delicious and flavorful and just crumbles in your mouth! Definitely one of the better guava bars I've tried. Love how crumbly it is. The salmon belly was delicious OMFG. It looks so simple and straightforward but that sht is so flavorful. It is crispy and yet soft on the inside. The salmon belly is cut into bite-sized pieces so I didn't have to worry about using a knife to cut it. I usually try salmon belly where it is usually seasoned lightly to bring out the natural flavor of the salmon, but Guava Smoked's salmon belly is just grilled in a way that makes the salmon sweet/crispy and still get traces of the salmon taste as well. It's definitely not your traditional Japanese-style way of cooking salmon belly but really just their own. I'd go back and get this again. Another thing too. I'd get this with beer. This would hit very hard with alcohol but because I don't drink I need a kombucha. The grilled salmon belly would go perfect with it. Cheers! Uncle was very helpful and kind when serving and if you dine-in he brings it to your table.

The guy at the counter wasn't the most people person ever, but he also got the job done. Didn't get a photo of the guava cake brownie thing they have, but it was really yummy.

    3.5 stars We wanted…read moreto try authentic Hawaiian food and came across this spot. The owner was very friendly and took the time to recommend dishes for us, including the laulau and lechon kawali. We also ordered the BBQ short ribs. Overall, it was a good experience trying Hawaiian food, but it's just not really our type of cuisine. The laulau was quite dry, and the preparation felt more like meat that had been boiled or cooked in liquid, which isn't something I usually enjoy. The lechon kawali had a crispy pork belly texture, topped with something similar to a salsa, but it didn't suit our taste either. Unfortunately, the cabbage served with it also had some black spots, which was off-putting. The BBQ short ribs were the highlight of the meal and the dish we enjoyed the most. We appreciate the experience and the hospitality, but the flavors just didn't quite match our personal preferences.

    1. The hours posted on Yelp was incorrect. They open from 12:00 pm…read more A group of us ordered food the night before for pickup at 12:30pm, on Thursday. Then someone wanted to change from rice to poi. I tried many times and no one answered. Their voice mailbox was full. We e ended going there to make the change. He gentleman looked like he was working be himself. We bads to wait almost a half hour for him to finish the order. 2. Price - the prices were higher than expected. All the plates were $26.00 and up. 3. Food - The poi was very tasty and fresh, although a bit watery. The lau lau had a lot of lean pork filling, not a lot of leaves. The long rice didn't have much chicken and was a bit watery too. We enjoyed the sweet potato. There was also lomi salmon, haupia onion and chili pepper water. 4. As mentioned before there isn't much parking. The restaurant wasn't busy when we got there. Overall the food and service was OK. The price was a bit high.
