Time for an update!…read more If you're a Frrrrrrried Chicken fan like Bruddah Fran, KJ's Local GRINDZ in Kaneohe is one of da BESTEST places for dat golden crispy Frrrrrrried Chicken! Through da years I've heard numerous times about the MAAAAAAAAAAAASIVE Frrrrrrrried Chicken plate! Although the prices have gone up, and the plates have gotten a wee-bit smaller......and when I say "smaller", I mean from ridiculous, to only massive now. Lol! True, KJ's Local GRINDZ does do other items, but Frrrrrrried Chicken is my crack, and every time I come here thinking I will try something else, once I open my mouth & speak, some how only "Frrrrrrried Chicken plate", only comes out of my mouth. Lol! Anyways, KJ's has been around for a long time in the Kaneohe neighborhood. It's your typical local style eatery serving local style plate lunches. KJ's Local Grindz also sells snacks like cookies & various breads. If you're ever in the Kaneohe area, make sure you stop by KJ's for dat Frrrrrrried Chicken!!!!

Initial visit to Uncle's Chicken in the Kapalama Shopping Plaza across from Upscale Hawaii, the old…read moreDiner's The eatery is nestled in between Viet Chubby Boy and Sakana Grill. Open for 3-4 years, it is one of those hole-in-the-wall places that locals who live and work in the neighborhood are cognizant of as a hidden gem. I am not the biggest fan of chicken...give me duck, anyday. But a good chicken sandwich is a meal that I can appreciate. Looking at the menu on the picture window...I had to wonder is Uncle: Korean...African-American...Deep South gentleman? Well, I think he's Taiwanese. Menu revolves around chicken. They have plates, sandwiches, and slushies. I got the Taro Hokkaido Slushie for takeout. It was okay...I can't tell you what it tastes like...other than that it was sweet. The Grilled Chicken Sandwich was unassuming. It was slightly spiced...a bit different than I am used to and it had a bit of a kick. I would not order anything spicy from their menu. Piece of battered chicken breast that was both juicy and flavorful. A real surprise. Service was just under 15 minutes...I walked in and ordered takeout. There was one order ahead of me. Dining area is bigger than you would think, but there are only four tables inside...it is mostly a takeaway place. Parking stalls are for Uncle's and the plaza. Stalls at Upscale, as well. Hours are from 1030a till 930p...except on Fridays and Saturdays, when they close at 1000p.

Waited almost 20 minutes for my plate and chicken was not cooked through. I took it back to the…read morecounter and asked her to cook it a bit longer, and I was pointed to a sign that said something about "pinking in poultry" and assured that it was fine to eat, but based on the look of the chicken I was not comfortable eating it at all. I uploaded this picture into chat gpt with the business explanation of the pinking in poultry and according to AI, "Pinking" can happen in cooked poultry -- but what you're showing in the photo does not look like harmless pinking. Here's the difference in plain language: Harmless "pinking" (still fully cooked) * Happens from smoking, high heat, or certain proteins. * The meat is fully opaque, firm, and cooked through. * Only the outer edge or near the bone looks pinkish. What your picture shows * The meat looks translucent, soft, and raw, especially near the joint. * There are dark, bloodlike areas around the bone. * The texture looks undercooked, not just color-changed from chemical reactions. Even with pinking, cooked chicken never looks glossy or raw in the center the way yours does. I decided not to go back to the counter because there was a language barrier and I felt the woman wasn't listening to me in the first place anyway. Threw pretty much all the food away and left hungry and down $20.

My favorite spot for chicken, ribs and salads is here at Koala Moa…read more When I am near by the area I like to make a stop to grab chicken, ribs plates for lunch or dinner. Koala Moa is located in Kalihi now, I remember they use to be on Nimitz when I visited Koala for the very first time, I remember seeing the chicken being cooked when I pass Nimitz, they cook the chix right next to the shop. They do sell out, depending how busy they get- best to call in to reserve, happen to me few times when they ran out of chicken, guess me going late in the afternoon is not a good idea. You can get the chicken, ribs, in a mini, combo, jumbo, or regular plate or as a side, either way you choose it all comes out the same. Depends on what type and amount of proteins you like. The sides are corn, salad, white or brown rice, and mac salads. Other ban chan available for purchase. The best value is the double combo plate, which comes with 1/2 chicken, 1 lb ribs and 5 sides for 35.99. - just cook your own pot of rice and get all sides of mac salad and salad. My favorite are the chicken and ribs combo, I must request to get the well done chicken ( burnt) note, * the chicken comes in whole, you have to request to chop up to pieces for $1. The chicken is hot, fresh, moist and has the right flavor and smoke. The ribs are my favorite, its tender and love the lemongrass flavor ( I just need a good fish sauce & cucumber salad when I eat this ribs) The salads are my favorites too, I love the dressing! Very tasty! When I am nearby Kalihi and want Huli Huli rotisserie style chicken this is a must stop for me and the lemon grass ribs will be a bonus. hehe. Koala Moa has been in the chicken, fundraising business for 30+ years, they do catering too.

We got 2 large plates of the half chicken with rice, mac salad, and corn, plus 2 extra sides of the pickled bitter melon and kim chee. Chicken was just okay. For me it was lacking some flavor and wasn't cleaned well. The chicken smell was a little overwhelming, even with the bitter melon and kim chee to mask it. I don't think I'll be back.

I always get the Chi-Bob (Chicken Bowl) with the honey garlic or the wasabi mayo. You can get the regular size for $13 and the mini for $8! The prices aren't too bad! Since the store is situated inside a (sports?) bar, it's a bit dim but they are very accommodating:) you can dine in as well:)

I just wanted to go to a place that does just that and Cane's Chicken Fingers is basically that as they sell in combos only has always been my biggest vice it's rather easy to order it's either chicken sandwich but for me it was chicken fingers which comes in 3, 4 or 6 I just got the 3 finger combo which comes with a cane's sauce, fries, Texas toast and drink. Placed my order then given a number and my cup pre filled with ice which took the moment to fill with either soft drinks or Cane's Iced Tea which is what I did just unsweetened was good and took a seat at one of many is what I do like about Raising Cane's and the decor and vibe is very friendly and vibrant as I got instantly greeted as soon as I walked in the door. Everything was very nice and fresh, fries were hot and crispy nothing really negative to say...just that it was boring for me personally and yes the order came rather fast making me think it was already made and kept warm didn't bother me the choices was very minimal and no other added flavors like hot and spicy or sauce options during this hot summer was made even on this National Fried Chicken Day.
