    Chicken

    The food was amazing and fresh, service was on point and definitely welcoming. The guy even hooked it up with all the food. The Lamb is always what I come here for but the other food like chop suey and Oka which is raw fish is also good. It is a little pricey but you can't complain when it's that good. They also have another location in Fife called Steven & Son I believe. Would definitely recommend for anyone that's curious about SAMOAN food.

    Such a welcoming place! Very kind. Food it's delicious. Went on a very windy day and the food was perfect

    Got everything they had and it was my first time it was all really good fresh food. The meat just slides off the bone and was very tender.

    Amazing food and great service at this take-out food spot. I highly recommend the turkey tail, quarter chicken and the corn bread.

    She charged me the "Palagi/Meauli Tax" on my purchase!…read more Two 2 years ago, I gave Soa's Kitchen a deserved 5 star rating. The food is still great and authentic, but I am extremely disappointed with their current business practices! Soa's Kitchen used to have posted pricing for containers and plates two years ago, but now there is no signage of pricing anywhere in the restaurant. I trusted the employee, and didn't pay any attention to the scale when she was ringing up my order. At the time, the total did seem a bit high, but I let it go for the sake of supporting a Samoan business. When I got home, I told my Savaiian wife that I'm pretty sure that I was charged the "Palagi Tax" today on my order, over $90 for 2 combo plates (Each Plate contained: 1pc Taro, 1pc Faʻalifu Faʻi, 1pc Fasi Povi Masima, 2 ribs of Mamoe Tao, 1 scoop of Kale Mamoe) and 2 Paluasami. When I showed her the receipt, she was like "WTF"! After going to Soa's Kitchen website, and reading several reviews, I see that I am not the only one who feels cheated, and confirmed the "Palagi Tax" practices! I want to support "Black & Brown Businesses", but I need Soa's Kitchen to provide fair business practices. Soa's Kitchen needs to post their pricing and they need to charge everyone fairly, not based on personal bias of the customer. If I ever go to Soa's Kitchen again, and I don't see any posted pricing, I will just not be your customer, I will not support your business!

    Don't get me wrong, food is good but was quite disappointed with yesterday's experience. I got…read morepastries and was immediately disappointed with them. Got 6 of the small cocktail pies and 4 half moon pies and 2/2(4)supo esi/suafa'i and it cost over $90. All the small cocktail pies pies weren't cooked well, the inside was half jello and other side just watery and for $4 for one, I wasn't very happy. The half moon pies tasted old and stale, didn't seem fresh. I think the sua fa'i and supo esi were the only good items I got from yesterday. Quite expensive and not good quality for the pastries, safe to say not getting pastries there again

    Got great tip on some super low flights to PNW during March so luckily I was able to score a $138…read more one way going back from SEA-HNL, It has been YEARS since I last flew on a HA flight, so here goes my experience. My flight was just for the basic seat which is fine with me, won't be paying any extra for comfort seats or to choose my seat. I am fine with whatever seats selected for me but I do cross my fingers to get aisle seats. On day of flight, I asked the agent if he was able to seat me & hubby together, which the male staff that helped said that he could but it won't be aisle seats, I didn't take the seat option to sit together because I can't do middle seats, hehe. But strange when I got to my seat, the seat next to me was empty. I don't know why, he could have assigned that seat, but all good, he moved to the empty seat when we were up in the air. There were some flight delays, couldn't start the boarding process due to odor on the plane, then vent was making loud noise so they had to get that taken care of, then unable to take off yet. We finally did, but original arrival time 9:12 pm to 10:55 pm, got home close to midnight, so late and tired but better to be safe. The only airlines that still serve meals but not a complete meal?! ya times are tough, I recall we had a complete meal years ago. Just a turkey pesto sandwich, which is it not the greatest. Only one round of drink service during our flight and one complimentary cookie from Honolulu Cookie Company, what happen to the Koloa drink? The greatest part of the flight is the Star link Wifi, way better than Southwest, me and the hubby can agree on this. I was able to load my photos on Yelp. Not my airline by choice but For my future trips, I hope to score some great deals again to be able to fly HA. Although not on time but Thank you for getting us back home safely and smoothly!
