Great spot for a grab and go meal. A friend had recommended this place for breakfast and lunch plate and I decided to give it a try. K & K Kitchen is a take out restaurant serving quick and affordable comfort food. Their menu has sandwiches, burgers, side dishes, plate lunch, and even specials. I ordered their luncheon meat rice plate with 2 eggs over easy. Serving portions were generous especially for the price. The luncheon meat had a nice crisp around the edges and absolutely filling. Service is fast and I received my order within minutes. Lunch time is definitely their busiest time. Getting to this takeout spot can a little tricky, however worth the trek. Street parking is limited and getting finding a spot may require a couple of circles around the block. read more

K & K Kitchen is a good option if, like me, you have Grubhub+, which is free for Amazon Prime members. Their prices are low enough that even with the extra fees plus tip, the total is comparable to many in-person takeout places. The food so far has been good, but I've had mixed experiences with delivery. I start work early, so I prefer early breakfasts, which may be too early for many drivers. My approach now is to order a little later. Yesterday I ordered the Corn Beef Hash with Fried Rice. The driver arrived earlier than estimated and even gave the aroma a good review. The patty was big, crispy, and tasty. Much better than most lunches I've had in recent memory. read more

K & K Kitchen - Corn Beef Hash, Over Easy, with Fried Rice - Chinese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Did you grow up with the Manapua man that drives the grey truck? Did you know they have a restaurant and this is it! They're located in Kalihi. You can find them across where they park their trucks. Parking is limited, but the times I've gone, I have gotten lucky and have parked right in front. I'm not quite sure how many cooks are there, but it sounds a like maybe one or two. The girl who takes your order is nice and food comes out in about 10-15 minutes after ordering. We ordered the corned beef hash and it was great! We also ordered the orange chicken and wow, those were some big chickens with some great flavor! We also ordered the loco moco and it was one of the best loco mocos we've had. My son got a cheeseburger and guess what it came in! The yellow wrapper! The old school wrapper! IYKYK! We will be coming back as regulars to try more things! read more

"Ambition is a dream with a V8 engine." - Elvis Back on the rock for work and woke up 1st of November jonesing for local-style breakfast (iykyk). K & K Kitchen on North School St. in the heart of Kalihi popped on my search at 7:00am. TBH I'm not sure if I been here before, well at least at K & K, because I've definitely been in this Google Map ping: been to Mexico Restaurant and been to Helena's. Oh, I even purchased a used car from the old Pake man in the lime green house.. with roosters all ovah from Kuya's yellow house next door. Déjà vu all over again lol. Parking easy peasy at 7am, but I can imagine all da Hammajang parking after roosters crow. All good just look for the bright blue building! 7am ain't early in Kalihi as I'm third in line just beating out the Construction Bruddahs in lifted To-yoda. I was about to order when auntie at the counter picked up the phone before me and of course it was an order of twelve tutu breakfast plates. Luckily she yelled my order to cook before submitting phone orders or I'd still be waiting lol. So, no need ack. Anyways, I ordered Eggs over easy, corned beef hash, upgraded fried rice. Breakfast plates average in the $10-$12 range, however with my upgrade of fried rice it was north of $13. All orders are made to order, so guarans you'll be waiting on the side. After a few minutes in the Kalihi morning sun my order is ready. Heavy! K & K is take-out, so after a short drive I enjoyed the massive corned beef hash, crisp on the edges and succulent inside. The fried rice was Cantonese style, so yesterday's Char Siu for flavor and tasty. Worth the $2 upgrade! In the end, K & K Kitchen in Kalihi was definitely a good choice for a hearty local-style breakfast you won't find at the mall. Don't expect fancy or the word "culinary" here... but if craving a simple breakfast that's delicious and will feed you til tomorrow this is the spot for you! Lastly, make sure to season your plates before leaving! K-bye! Pls follow my IG adventures: @eric_travel_guru read more

If you're a rice eater the Deluxe Breakfast is for you. Bottom of the takeout tray Is loaded with white rice. It's topped with two eggs, two slices of spam, two thick slices of Portuguese Sausage and two slices of bacon. I ordered my eggs scrambled. The eggs were over done. You place your order at the takeout window fronting the building. Service was ok. The building itself is old and parking is a hassle. It was a good thing that my wife was with me. She stood in line as I waited in the car. Overall good price point. Enjoy read more

This is a busy place and parking is a little tough. However, the plates are packed and definitely worth waiting for. My husband wanted to try the garlic chicken and the plate was heavy! The chicken pieces were boneless and huge! They also didn't skimp on the rice which is a good thing. I didn't want rice but my plate was still really big! I had two pieces of hamburger steak, scrambled eggs and gravy. The portion was definitely enough to fill me up, and I had extra for later. I'll definitely be back to try the other plate lunches when I'm in the area. read more

Early birdies gets the eats... No it's not a special but a special place with awesome prices and cooked to order breakfast. K & K has been on my radar with Nadine C, Paul C and Fran C and though it has one of the best early morning hours to grab your breakfast it is on busy N School Street with little to no parking. Since it was Saturday I tried to get there as early as possible though there's no traffic there's always someone there waiting for their order so I just parked next door for quick dash. Looking over their breakfast plates ranges $7.50 to $9.00 but it was the mini that I was interested in at $4.25 it wasn't even a question, simple and easy regular white rice, Portuguese sausage and scrambled...I'm very basic when it comes to breakfast but what a deal! Service is friendly and very fast as this tiny nook serves sit all including other savory items like chicken and pork chops but don't let the vibe here deter you as it's a great deal to fill you up with costing extra. Thank you! read more

I heard from a state employee that food truck comes on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Tiime is 11:00 am. Location is in front of state parking structure across from Hawaii Educational Federal Credit Union (233 S Vineyard St). Truck has name of food truck. Menu is a big selection. Employees could be son and mom who speak Cantonese. My coworkers and I got there 5 minutes before 11:00 am. There were other people who work at state building came in line. Everyone was happy that there was another business to buy food from. Our order was pasteles stew, garlic chicken, and Lau lau. Pasteles stew regular plate has 1 scoop Mac salad and 2 scoops rice but mini had 1 scoop rice. Pasteles stew and Mac salad good. I look forward to trying them again next week. read more

The Food Is Down-Right Comfort! I got 2 breakfast plates. #G Corn Beef Hash & #H the Vienna Sausage. Both over easy eggs and both with Fried Rice. The fried rice had delicious cuts of Lop Cheong sausage & Char Sui Pork... It's a walk-up window place. No dine-in. I'd come back to this place again for some hardy breakfast and take it to the end of lagoon drive and watch the planes go by. Our order took about 10 minutes to prepare. Call ahead if you don't wanna wait. read more

After getting my blood drawn this morning my husband said saw this place on yelp and if you like go we try um. So we went for take out breakfast. I had the corn beef hash breakfast and my husband had their deluxe breakfast. Came home and my eggs wasnt over easy it was over hard. The corn beef hash was lacking something my husband said salt taste. I agree. I switch it up to fried rice instead of reg rice and it was Chinese style fried rice. The corn beef hash was big covers almost the whole plate. Lol. My husband deluxe breakfast was 2 bacon, 2 spam, 2 Portuguese sausage with scrambled egg. He said was good. Maybe I've should have ordered that or stick to my mini breakfast. They do make it fresh so when you place the order you have to wait. The breakfast is cheap in prices and they give alot. They located in the place where the old mitsu Ken okazu was located on school Street. Support them if you want a big breakfast. read more

K & K Kitchen in Kalihi is a great place to visit if one is yearning for local kine grinds. Have always driven past this blue building at 1223 North School Street. Out of curiosity, I finally did. I was rather impressed and surprised by what they had to offer. Their menu is so awesome. The amount of food on their plates are plentiful and amazing. Their variety of dishes is so onolicious. Whatever you order, you won't be disappointed. Highly recommend to visit if you're hungry. read more

Aloha no... To be honest, their food isn't that great. However, if you're looking for price and affordability, then "yes" K‡K is where you want to go. They have lower prices on average than other hole in the wall establishments. I tried their garlic chicken plate one morning and came back the next day for their corned beef hash breakfast. Garlic chicken was OK, but unfortunately the rice was hard (like when one doesn't add enough water). The corned beef hash patty was pretty good size, but had too much crust on it (like it was on the flat grill for way too long). Taste-wise, both were so-so. I live 20 miles away, so wouldn't drive out of my way to eat here. They have friendly folks at the window, but parking sucks. Luckily I was able to park in their driveway both times, but everyone else that came after had to resort to parking illegally nearby or across the street. IF I was in/around the Lanakila/Kalihi area, I would consider stopping by if I was craving old style local food. Mahalo... read more

I don't aggressively cross off my bookmarks but I've kept K&K Kitchen (KK) in the back burner for YEARS. KK took over the spot of the popular, original location of Mitsuken Bento and Catering that moved in 2013. I've always been a fan of garlic chicken and usually get my fix from Mitsuken and Sugoi. Step in chicken fanatic Fran C. who would post and boast about KK's garlic chicken plate. With such challenging parking, I've waited over 10 years to finally try KK back in April 2024. I live about a 5min drive from KK and have passed here hundreds of times and would survey the parking, but found myself giving up. I was running errands and feeling pretty down as I had another tax year of writing checks to Uncle Sam. It was past 130pm and still didn't eat lunch yet and found myself on N School Street. As I approached, I noticed KK's door still open and only one car in the adjacent parking. I pulled in and finally, was going to see what Fran has been raving over. I walked to the counter and heard Cantonese being spoken between the counter staff and the kitchen crew. I didn't need to study the menu as I just came to try the garlic chicken. I ordered a regular plate with all rice and after paying, I stood on the side waiting for my food with free entertainment of a few feral chickens nearby and witnessed an elderly Asian woman struggle with parallel parking of multiple attempts while her elderly husband (?) trying to guide her. When the girl blurted "garlic chicken all rice", I made my way back to the counter to get my food where I asked for a pair of chopsticks instead of a fork. I hopped back into my car and headed back home. THE VERDICT: I was impressed on the garlic chicken plate. As I removed the cover, the chicken was piping hot, the way I enjoy my food. Strategically took a bite trying not to burn my mouth and the chicken was super moist, juicy and packed with flavor. I noticed some sauce that accumulated on the bottom so I dipped the chicken and I was in heaven. The rice was your standard plate lunch rice that paired well with the flavorful chicken. With comparison to their competitors, KK's garlic chicken is superior because it wasn't overcooked nor did the chicken have excess chicken skin. You were served good quality chicken meat. Service was average as the staff just got the job done. She was engaged in conversing with the kitchen staff in Chinese. I noticed that KK is much more sanitary and brighter than the dingy and somewhat questionable Mitsuken back in the olden days. Overall, an impressive first experience at Kk where I'd be game for a return visit. With parking the major issue, I'd probably go back in the afternoon just before they close with hopes of less foot traffic and available parking. NOTE: I ate less than half of the plate and gave the leftovers to favorite nephew by default who devoured it. He asked where the food was from as he thoroughly enjoyed it. read more

This is one of the best cheap eat place for breakfast! Discovered it on yelp one day. Located in Kalihi, kind of in the industrial area. Small locally owned shop for takeout only. We usually come here after a morning hike. They have very good deals with their specials with so many options. They are known for their garlic chicken. We would always get the Special: Garlic Chicken with 2 Eggs, Fried Rice & 2 Bacons. They give a huge plate of fried rice and chunky charsiu. A bit on the sweeter side. Also tried their chowmein and pork hash, love it too! Some people would say it can be bland, but just the way I like it. Can't beat the portion and price here. read more

K&K is a great value and great tasing option if you're in the Kalihi area. Located at the former Mitsu-ken building K&K has been my go to breakfast place for some time now. The corned beef hash is my go to here. It's crispy (how I like it) and is a humongous portion. The fried rice option on plates are excellent too. I believe all their portions are generous and the prices are a big plus. There are no sitting areas here so the only option is to-go. Parking is probably the biggest issue here. There's a couple of stalls to the left of the building but otherwise street parking, if you're able to. Mornings are tough as there are restrictions to street parking at a certain time. If you're craving something inexpensive and you feel really hungry, K&K is the answer. You just gotta come early as their hours are only until 2pm. read more

Parking is pretty tough though. read more

Finally decided to stop and try here. Ordered the Garlic Chix and steak plates. The good: The plates are huge with lots of chicken and steak. The chicken is soft and juicy, not hard like Mitsuken. The people are friendly and it's very pleasant. I have to try the breakfast later because it looks very good with lots of selections. The bad: Parking is scarce but it's hit or miss. For the chicken plate, the sauce is good, but would be better if they soaked it a little longer. I came back and same thing, not enough sauce. Still better then Mitsuken. Have some questionable (in my opinion) people walking around, so just be aware of the surroundings. Overall, this is one of those places that you don't really hear a lot of like L&L and Rainbows. Too bad people are so used to that kinds of places. They should try this place and they will see that it's really good and better than most places that you are used to. I'm glad I stopped by. read more

Wholly crappola!!!! Big MAHALO to my Yelp Buddies - Da FAMOUS Auntie - Nadine C., & Jo C. for posting their AWESOME Yelp reviews & pics of this place called K & K Kitchen! I think I am in LOVE with this hole-in-da-wall dump in Kalihi!!! Lol! What totally SOLD me on this place was when I saw a pic that Jo C. posted of her plate, where she put her plate on a food scale to show us Yelpers da shear VOLUME of da GRINDZ from K & K Kitchen!!!! You crack me up Jo!!! So after seeing Auntie Nadine C., & Jo C.'s reviews and pics, I quickly bookmarked this joint in Kalihi. Best way to find this little hole-in-da-wall joint??? Follow da tips from da Famous Auntie - Nadine C., & Jo C. by checkin' out their reviews! As mention by Jo, K & K Kitchen is kinda across da street from Helena's Hawaiian Food, or next door from this nail place called - Golden Nails. To be more direct, da business just across da street from K & K Kitchen was K & K Mini Mart (see my pic). Sounds like da same owner???? Hummmmmmmmmm? And if you no likey wait in da hot sun, follow what da Famous Auntie said! She said to call it in, that way by da time you get there, you can just pickup & dash away!!!! The thing that I came here for was da Garlic Chicken Plate!!! If you're a fan of Sugoi's Garlic Chicken, I would say K & K Kitchen's Garlic Chicken plate is very similar. It's very garlicky, and slightly on da sweet side. It's BOMB-Diggity deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelicious!!!! Um, um, good!!!! My MASSIVE Garlic Chicken plate came with 12 pieces of bite sized Garlic Chicken that was fried to perfection! The garlic sauce was unbelievably delicious, and the plate came with two scoops rice & a scoop of mac salad. I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise, but since the garlic sauce was on my mac salad, I totally destroyed that mac salad, only leaving da rice. Of course since the rice has all that garlic sauce, I think I'll save it and make a garlic Frrrrrrried Rice for later. Lol! In the mean time, I totally destroyed all 12 pieces of the Garlic Chicken, and now my gut is hangin' over my belt line like a fat slob! Buwahahahahahahaha! No problemo, I just unbuckled my belt & pop off da top button on my pants while I sit here and write up this review on Yelp! Lookin' for some ono cheap eats????

Normally love their chicken and fried rice but the past few times we've gotten it the quality really hasn't been the same. Sometimes the rice is partially hard, or not as flavorful. As for the chicken it was dry, the flavor was only on the outside. I'm sad but at least the service was super fast. Just wish parking was better but can't help since they are in a small location. read more

Takeout breakfast in Kalihi, Honolulu, Hawaii... Searching the Yelp app for a nearby breakfast place, I drove to K & K Kitchen and parked in their driveway. I didn't see any nearby street parking, so, I just hoped that it was ok to park there. Because I was hungry, everything sounded good. I narrowed down my choices to: 1. Hamburger Steak with 2 eggs and 2 rice 2. Corned beef hash with 2 eggs and 2 rice 3. Garlic chicken with 2 bacon, 2 eggs, and fried rice The only bad thing was waiting for my order. Standing in the sun on a busy street, isn't fun. This is a takeout only place with window service. FOOD: surprisingly good! The hamburger steak was a homemade patty without gristle! Corned beef hash had a nice crisp on the outside! Garlic chicken was boneless, tasty, and a bit sweet. Fried rice had some Cha siu in it! Tip: fried rice substitute for white rice is $1.50. I wouldn't mind returning and trying other menu items! Note: bring cash if you don't want to pay me credit card fee. read more

1st time going to K &K Kitchen and it did NOT disappoint. It's located on School street next to Golden Nails and across the street from Helena's. Street Parking in front of the business and there are about 3 stalls in the driveway next to it. Good idea to call in your order so you don't need to wait outside in the hot sun like Nadine c mentioned in her awesome review. Take Out Only! Order at the window and patiently wait for your food. OMG we ordered the Garlic Chicken plate with 2 eggs,fried rice and 2 bacon for $10 and the plate was SO HEAVY I had to weigh it when I got home and holy cow it was 2 lb 12 ounces!?! It was delicious and enough for 2-3 meals for me or a huge lunch for a local construction "bruddah" ;). The fried rice has lup cheong and char siu pieces and was tasty especially covered in the garlicky sweet sauce from the chicken. The garlic chicken! I love that it's deep fried and boneless! Definitely can compete against the other well known garlic chicken joints. Great hole in the wall, large portions and yummy garlic chicken worth it! read more
