Love coming here. Love having so many options. Love getting carried away with the buffet of musubis. Love the awesome service. Just not fond of the holey parking lot. Need to go by lunch time to get the full assortment. My favs are actually the spicy tofu (the chili sauce is superb) and salmon skin. Not too big of a fan of their somen salad - it needs cucumbers and for some reason, their noodles always seem different to me.

Adorable display! Pro tip: Take a hanky to soak up your drool as you look at all the flavor offerings.

As we drove towards Kaneohe's Windward Mall from Kailua, we realized that we were in the mood for a mid-day snack. My wife did a quick internet search to see if she could find a place that has good musubi (breakfast of champions, and a perfect hunger-crusher in Hawaii). As it turns out, one of the more highly rated places was basically pretty-much exactly across the street from us as we drove. We looked over, but didn't immediately spot it. The store is actually kind-of unassuming--almost camouflaged. We whipped a U-ee , and started looking. Then, like an ancient pacific mariner, on a historic voyage, I raised Got'z Grindz from the Kamehameha highway. Our finding it was not exactly epic, but travelers are cautioned in their quest to find it, that the store's location happens to be on a turn in the road where the building next to it keeps it hidden from view until the very last second. As soon as we opened their front door I felt like Charlie entering Wonka's candy factory--except, instead of chocolates and gobstoppers, my eyes beheld a dizzying array of inari, fluffy rice, savory meats, soy sauces, and shiso spam. (Sing this next part to the tune of the Candyman by Sammy Davis Jr.) : "Who can take the sunrise?... sprinkle it with furikake. Cover it with Nori and a miracle or two? The musubi man! The musibi man at Got'z Grindz can, cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good. " (catchy, huh? I hereby give Gotz Grindz permission to use that song in any future commercials. ha.) We got the sampler pack (see photo below) and it was the perfect combination of both old favorites and of new flavor and texture combinations. This allowed our taste buds to boldly go where they had not gone before. My wife's favorite was the spicy tuna. I also very much liked it, but have a sweet spot in my heart reserved for the one with ume (pickled salted plum) in it. (My mom used to make rice balls with ume in them when I was a kid.) I thought the price for our 6 sampler's was pretty reasonable. The staff was super friendly and I really enjoyed the whole experience. It is especially fun when one discovers a place that you know you will be coming back to over and over again. This defiantly is a "hidden pearl" in the food world of Oahu's windward side.

Sampler pack , tasty different kinds of Musubi's named after family

The place to go, to grab & go for a variety of Musubi's , fried noodles , packaged snacks bento's , drinks & hot curry & stew. Love that you can park & pickup & on your way. Located across St Marks School . Friendly staff, no pressure staff & older building. Highly recommend!

While visiting Hawaii, my husband and I decided to explore the less touristy side of Oahu and was ready for lunch and stumbled upon Got'z Grindz online! It was a bit difficult to find, you really have to drive slow when you're on the street so you don't miss the building. Seeing the exterior you wouldn't expect to find so many different kinds of musubis neatly organized and displayed, plus we were greeted by a wonderful aroma and friendly staff! There were SO many musubis to choose from, not to mention the amazing smell coming from their beef stew, beef curry, gyudon, and more! We finally decided on Gyudon (Beef bowl), Spicy Tuna Musubi, and Tuna Takuan Furikake Inari. The beef in the gyudon was so soft and tender, the spicy tuna musubi was just the right amount of spicy and had nice soft fluffy rice, and the tuna inari was something new that I tried, and had some interesting flavors but all in all tastes great! Everything was so flavorful, so delicious, the portions were very generous and the prices were super affordable! Not to mention there's so many different options that you'll have to go back a few more times to try everything! Since the spot is more of a grab and go kind of place, the lady who helped us kindly recommended a nearby botanical garden which was great because musubis are the perfect for picnics! We will definitely be back next time we visit Hawaii, Got'z Grindz is a must visit for musubi lovers or anyone looking to try local comfort food.

Got'z Grindz is tucked just off the main road & easy to miss if you're not paying attention, so drive slow as you approach. When I walked in, I was immediately struck by the sheer variety: around 30 different kinds of musubis lined the counter. It was a bit overwhelming to browse through each flavor, but definitely fun to explore. What We Tried - Variety pack with 6 different half musubis - A variety of random musubis - Cold ginger chicken - Karaage chicken - Salmon patty - Fish cake sticks - Salmon skin snack The rice was cooked perfectly - soft but not mushy. That said, I found the musubi fillings a bit too intense. The flavors were bold and layered, but sometimes felt muddled, making it hard to tell what was inside each one. It's a great spot if you're looking to sample a wide range of musubi styles, but for my taste, I prefer more subtle, balanced flavors. Price Point Everything pictured came out to about $60, which felt a bit pricey for musubi. But to be fair, the musubis here are packed with more ingredients than your typical grab-and-go version--so you're paying for the creativity. Final Thoughts Got'z Grindz is worth checking out for the novelty and variety, especially if you love trying new musubi combinations. While it won't be my go-to musubi spot, I appreciate the creativity and effort behind their menu.

Shivonne T.

I got three items. I loved them all my favorite was the unagi, avo, spam combo. The combo wasn't too salty just right. They use the right amount of rice, service was quick and easy with a wide variety of options.

Marissa K.

Love this spot! Total hidden gem in Kaneohe! Got their musubi sampler to share with my parents and they loved it! They also sell other yummy poke bowls and fried noodles and snacks here too! Great stop over for some yummy musubis and snacks to go!

Got Grindz a wonderful little restaurant on the Windward side of Oahu. Awesome selection of Musubi's combined with a great selection of local favorites and some innovative dishes. Locally owned and operated since 2019. Staff members are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. We tried the Musubi sampler, Ginger Green Onion Chicken, Fried Chikuwa (fishcake), Dynamite Chicken, Gyoza, Yakisoba, Mac nut Chocolate mochi, and Haupia Sweet Potato Pie. Loved the Musubi sampler because we got to try their most popular Musubi's all together. Food was fresh and delicious . Definitely cravable food.

Unagi, teriyaki, tofu and vegan spam musubi

Anna B.

Came by early morning to samps some musubi and have a few later for the beach. Their selection is great and the auntie at the counter was so friendly. The unagi was our fav, and the vegan spam was pretty solid but you can still tell it's mock meat from the texture. The tofu spam was really good too, with 'ono furikake! Their teriyaki musubi however had no teriyaki flavor/sauce and just tasted like a classic spam. Would love to come back and try other flavors and samps their bento too :)

Desiree M.

My favorite masubi place !!! Best spicy tuna masubi. That always hits the spot after a workout or little side snack.

Lav L.

We got a Spam & Egg Musubi, yakitori, and the Musubi sampler. My hubby's favorite are Daddy G's, Mommy G's, Yumi G's, Tuna Takuan Furikake, and Yakitori. My favorite are Yumi G's, Tuna Furikake, and Yakitori. The rice of the Spam & Egg Musubi is pretty hard so I think it is not freshly made, while the rice of other Musubi are soft and feels fresh. There are a lot of different flavors of Musubi already sold out when we were there at around 12:30pm, come earlier if possible.

Irene M.

Serious Grindz... Always had this place in mind though never make it in time as they do close early at 1pm but because I had another place to visit I was in the area early enough and remember to give them a visit. Just pay attention because if you don't you'll pay right by but having their own lot makes parking a breeze the hardest part was to decide which bite to have though they do have it all out making it so easy to see and the choices they have is quite impressive though some may disagree I do like that it's not all rice though musubi isn't all that they have here it's like a okay's here as well with ochazuke made with Kyoto Matcha, and specials like hamburger steak and ginger pork bowl...how about a musubi sampler...you can even create your own musubi or bowls. its super spacious inside making it easy to browse and I got a goteborg and Portuguese sausage musubi along with garlic noodles. The Portuguese sausage was like a lup cheong sausage and dry, the goteborg was a nice and perfect sized bite, garlic noodles was a nice and flavorful with a hint of garlic. The staff is nice and friendly and a fun place to grab your lunch or a bite for the road. Thank you!

So many musubi to choose from so hard to decide what to get. I got the sampler which was good but 3 of them were common flavors - I would have preferred a sampler that had all 6 flavors comprised of the interesting combos they came up with themselves. I did take a chance on ordering one of the full size musubi flavors that the worker recommended....the salmon mentaiko ......DELICIOUS! The spicy karaage and tuna takuan were good too (they were in the sampler pack). read more

Incredible selection of musubis...and they are all EXCELLENT. They offer sampler trays of musubis like wine flights. What a genius idea and a great way to try what they offer. The arabiki musubi is ono. Salmon musubi...excellent. Deluxe bento...super good. Lots inside. Their beef bowl is tasty. They also have sides like cold tofu. Hits the spot on a hot day.

The Beef Curry Bowl is Excellent. It did not disappoint with tender beef and the perfect amount of curry spice. The selections of Spam musubi is mind boggling as I tried the Bacon Avocado Spam Musubi which was very good although it was a bit messy toward the end. Maybe having more nori wrapped around it would "stabilize" it and if the nori is flavored like a Korean type, that may take it over the top. Solid 4 stars and I'll be back to try the rest of the menu. read more

Great musubi place in Kaneohe. The Mentaiko and salmon musubi was definitely a winner ... just the right amount of salt and spice. You can custom order any combination of musubi available from the ingredients you see at the counter. I also ordered a mentaiko musubi so that I can taste the mentaiko ... spicy and delicious. The beef curry was closer to a local beef curry ... slightly spicy with a very clean curry flavor. Not as sweet as Japanese curry ... more like a Hawaiian Beef Curry ... although not a yellow curry but a richer darker curry. Also had desserts .... I'm going to try one of those next time. read more

Wish I was hungrier when I visited this musubi shop. There were so many varieties of musubis that I was overwhelmed ( in a good way) by the selection. Many of them that I had never heard of before. Tried the sukiyaki musubi and the salmon with cream cheese. Even though I wasn't really hungry, I was intrigued by the salmon/cream cheese musubi, so as soon as we got in the car I unwrapped it and took a bite . . . Winner!!! Nothing like a freshly made musubi and you can tell that they use quality rice. The sukiyaki musubi was just as delicious. Can't wait to get back to Got'z Grindz to try more of their offerings.

The mochiko chicken here is one of my favorites and they give you a lot! I have enough for leftovers the next day. The shrimp & vegetable tempura has a nice light and crispy batter and they give quite a lot of veggies with two big pieces of shrimp! At our recent visit with got spicy ahi which was quite spicy but still tasty! The service is really good, with the servers being very attentive. I definitely recommend this spot if you're craving Japanese food!

There was also a sign stating they do offer takeout as well. But, I think it's best to eat there! Overall, such a convenient and quick quality meal when you need a break from shopping.

We did have a pre-order issue, though. Since I arrived early to make sure everything was set, it was an easy recovery but still disappointing. One pre-order dish was egg fu yong. While the server was reviewing the order with me, she said they didn't have it that day. I told her I wasn't notified when I pre-ordered like I was told "no steamed fish" but I just increased the quantities for the other items and it was seamless for the rest of the guests. She did say but I ordered early enough to get my Peking duck. (If we didn't get that I would have them been pretty annoyed.) Food: Not quite as good as last Christmas but still good. Minute chicken cake noodle - chicken was a bit dry and a little tough. Noodles, gravy, Choi sum was good. Soft gau gee mein (family loves our noodles) was better - very tasty, but the gravy was overflowing and spilling all over. Peking duck - half duck, with buns. Came with the customary plum (hoisin) sauce but no green onions/scallions. Not the same without it but was good. Duck skin was crispy, duck meat wasn't dry. Shrimp chips were stale, though. Walnut shrimp was good. Shrimp was slightly overcooked but not enough to matter. Beef broccoli was very good, but not sure they gave us two orders, seemed small compared to the other dishes which we had upped from 1-1/2 to 2. Overall, it's challenging to get good Chinese food now days so we were all satisfied with the food, good service, and the ease of having the dishes come out timely. Hopefully the next time the food will have gone back up in quality and I can give 4 stars.

Here's a polished Yelp review you can post:…read more If you're craving authentic local Hawaiian food, do yourself a favor and stop for the Huli Huli chicken here. Trust me--you won't miss it! The aroma alone is enough to make you pull your car over. They cook everything right in front of their spotless establishment, and the smell of the chicken roasting over the grill is absolutely irresistible. The Huli Huli chicken is outstanding--perfectly seasoned, incredibly juicy, and packed with flavor in every bite. The macaroni salad is fresh and nicely chilled, making it the perfect complement to the hot chicken. The white rice is cooked just right, and everything comes together beautifully with their delicious pineapple teriyaki sauce. The portions are generous, the prices are very reasonable, and the quality is top-notch. If you're visiting the area, it's just a few turns away from Kualoa Ranch, making it a perfect stop after a tour. Great food, friendly service, excellent value, and a true taste of Hawaii. Give this place a try--you won't be disappointed!

I'm ashamed to admit that this was my very first time trying huli huli chicken. So what can I say…read moreabout my first experience? Well... it was a little underwhelming. Maybe it's because I don't have a baseline comparison, but I feel like huli huli chicken gets hyped up so much that I expected a massive flavor explosion. Maybe this is exactly how it's supposed to taste, but to me, it was just very simple. It tasted more like a standard roasted or baked chicken. I didn't really get that deep, smoky charcoal flavor that I thought a real-deal huli huli chicken was supposed to have. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't bad! It just wasn't "stop the car, I need to come back tomorrow" good. Maybe it was just an off day for them, so I'm happy to give it another try sometime down the road to see if it hits differently. But for my very first taste test, I wasn't really that impressed. Shucks!

Next-Level Musubi at Götz Grindz in Kāne'ohe - A Must for Foodies on Oahu! If you're on the windward side and craving something local and packed with flavor, you have to check out Götz Grindz in Kāne'ohe. This spot is doing Hawaiian-style comfort food with a twist, and their musubi game is unreal. I tried the bacon avocado spam musubi and the shrimp tempura musubi, and both were absolutely killer. The bacon avocado combo was rich and savory, with that crispy-salty bacon balanced out by creamy avocado. It took classic spam musubi to a whole new level. And the shrimp tempura musubi? So good. The shrimp was perfectly fried - crispy on the outside, tender inside - and paired really well with the rice and sauce. Everything was super fresh, made to order, and packed with flavor. Portions are generous too, so you definitely get your money's worth. Götz Grindz is lowkey but full of heart - you can tell the folks here care about what they're serving. Whether you're a local or just visiting Kāne'ohe, this is a solid stop for creative local-style eats that you won't find anywhere else. If you're hunting for the best spam musubi on Oahu, or just looking to try something new on the island, Götz Grindz should be on your list. I'll definitely be back to try more! read more

I'm a firm believer in supporting our small business ohana here in the aina! Friends, family and visitors alike, I'd highly recommend this local favorites deli/bento family run shop in Kaneohe to all of you. You cant miss it at the Adon's Plaza on Kamehameha Hwy. You got'z to try the Ahi patty and the tuna sushi, my favorite besides the fantastic beef curry stew. The best part of this two store/delicatessen operation is of course the service. I've been served by Yumi the store owner multiple times. She's such a genuine representative of the true "one of a kind" spirit of aloha service.
