    After reading Auntie Nadine.C and Irene.M review on K&M Drive inn . I had to check them out . Since I was in the area this morning around 5:00am lots of parking and no customers in line Yay! I decided to order their Breakfast Bento . It was well worth it for only $6.70 it came with scrambled eggs, Portuguese sausage, Spam, Vienna sausage and little smokies on white rice . I'm telling you cannot go wrong . They also sell plate lunches as well . They have a dinning room area next to their Take out window . Support local

    Breakfast deals... It's the tricky spots that do give you the deals and when you plan it right it can really be the spot that takes great care of you. K&M is in Kalihi right next to Alicia's and they do have some parking but going early is suggested as any other alternative parking can be difficult. Arriving here my very first time I did get lucky with parking and did notice through the window various premade breakfast bentos though you can make your own choices and prices reflect on the different amount of choices you make is nice especially if you just want a specific bite. I just the "Breakfast Bento" and at $6.50 I wasn't prepared for the volume I'd receive as it has four types of breakfast meats (spam, Portuguese sausage, Vienna sausage and little smokies) and scrambled eggs and rice all packed and ready to go. Love the vibe, friendly staff, and convenience but the price makes it so much nice, a super easy drive with some parking and apparently some inside seating as well is super nice if I ever have the time marking it a great breakfast spot. Thank you!

    First visit and I normally would not write a review until the second or third time. K & M Drive Inn is on Mokauea Street- Kalihi Kai - next door to Alicia's Market. It was formerly a Korean takeout eatery. Their self-attested specialies are their Oxtail Soup and grab-n-go bentos. I requested their breakfast plate special. For under $6 you get 1 choice of meat and rice with 2 eggs, your preference. I substituted the meat with 2 more eggs as the cashier was very accommodating. Also, got the Thai Iced Tea with lime. The lime was at the suggestion of the cashier that helped me...it was excellent. Well priced food and drinks that are made to order, with the additional convenience of bentos as well as excellent service...and this eatery is a bargain. Parking stalls front the business and shops in the building - about 10 stalls. A small dining area is available along with a condiment area.

    Breakfast in Kalihi, Honolulu, Hawaii... My friend asked me where I was going to eat today... I searched my Yelp app and told her that we should go to K & M Drive Inn because they're a Hot New Business... she agreed! Located next to Alicia's Market, parking right in front of the restaurant was open! Yay! When we left, the free parking stalls were full because the line outside of Alicia's was long! So - if you visit on a weekend, go early! My friend said that she wanted a "snack" and ended up ordering a HBS (Hamburger Steak) with macaroni salad. I thought: "That sounds good - except for the macaroni salad". I ordered HBS with a green salad. Service at the window was efficient and friendly. The woman even brought my order to me at our table. My friend went to the window and picked up her own takeout box. Yes... there are tables and chairs for dining-in. At first, it felt warm - even though the fan was on. Later, I could feel the cooler air. We sat near the open front door. I think the man watching the TV monitor was the cook. He was watching cooking videos and some movies. He and the cashier woman thanked us for coming! It's a clean, OG style spot. It's too bad that everyone is going next door. K & M wasn't crowded on a Saturday morning. We enjoyed our HBS plates! My friend said it reminded her of her dad's meatloaf! The hamburger patties are soft and homemade. The onions and gravy made the hamburger yummier. The green onion garnish was a nice touch! My green salad was crisp and fresh! I'd return again!

    A true hidden gem, best bang for your buck. Can't go wrong, the food is delicious and generous portion size.

    I got to try the fry pork ribs plate for $10.95 and they gave a lot and it tasted so good. I got to eat my lunch and saved the rest for dinner. The ladies working here are so friendly and nice to make everything a lot nicer. This is definitely a hidden gem.

    Oxtail Soup for $15.95 what a deal

    Another Hidden Gem here in Kalihi at K&M Drive Inn in Kalihi next to Alicia's Market. They've only been open for just over a month but I think I have found my Go To Place for some really good Oxtail Soup at a very affordable and reasonable price. This Oxtail Soup is loaded with 4 nice sized Oxtails and for the $15.95 price you can't go wrong. Love the strong presence of Star Anise and love the Veggies and Mushrooms throughout the Soup. It also comes with Freshly Grated Ginger as well. I also had the Fried Chicken Plate which came with 7 pieces of Chicken Wings with Rice and Mac Salad for $10.95. It was good but not as delicious as the Oxtail Soup here at K&M They even have Breakfast and Lunch Bento's for only $6.50 amd Huge Musubi's for only $2. They do Take Out or Dine in but I would dine in because they have all the condiments for your Pho and other items. Love the vibe here and the lady who took my order was very pleasant. Now the only knock on this place is not the place itself but the parking situation itself especially on the weekdays. The parking here is very limited because it's in a industrial area so trying to find parking here is like trying to find an Oxtail Soup that won't run you over $25 Give this hidden gem in a try everyone. I'm definitely coming back for the Oxtail Soup but also the Chicken Papaya is on my radar as well. Support Local Businesses Everyone

    Lao sausage is great. (Pork mixed with possibly shallots, galangal, garlic, chilis, lemongrass, fish sauce, and other herbs.) The plate comes with a bunch of cabbage, rice and a good amount of spicy garlic/cilantro/shallot/shoyu sauce on the side to dip or pour on your cabbage/rice/sausage. Tossed salad has a bunch of grated carrots.

    Great tasting foods, super nice service from mother & daughter duo. There's a small AC'd seating area, (2) 4 tops, (1) 3 top, and (1) 2-3 top tables that's clean and comfortable. All tables were full while we were there (1215-115pm, on a Tuesday). We've been back at least every other week if not weekly. Love that I can bring my own dishes and utensils to use to save from using the takeout containers. Great food for an even better price, which is pretty hard to find these days.

The beef was tender, and the heat level was just right (spicy but still balanced). So good over rice. The chicken panang curry was rich, creamy, and comforting. The curry sauce had that slightly sweet, nutty depth with just the right amount of spice. The chicken was tender, and the sauce was honestly spoon-worthy. We also ordered the summer rolls, which were fresh and light -- packed with crisp veggies and herbs. Dipped in peanut sauce, they were the perfect refreshing starter before the richer dishes. And Peter was a great waiter -- friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without hovering. Service definitely elevated the experience. Everything tasted fresh and well-executed.

This, however, will probably be my first and last visit. The place is cute enough, with a large back garden area where I chose to dine. Service was also great. I appreciate the little button at the table that I could click for service. The food, however, was mediocre at best. My friend and I ordered the pad Thai with tofu, ginger chicken, chicken satay, and pork larb. The pad Thai was the best dish, but it was very tomatoey, which I did not expect. The chicken with ginger had very little chicken. It was mostly julienned vegetables, including celery which I do not care for. The chicken satay was kinda dry and most certainly needed the peanut sauce to make it palatable. The larb was very dry with very bland flavor, served on one lettuce leaf and a wedge of cabbage. How am I supposed to eat that? All of it was quite disappointing, especially for the price point. As I was eating this meal I remembered the Thai food truck at the end of Ward, where Fisherman's Pier used to be. Now THAT was some good Thai food. I guess that was the best thing about this meal-remembering where I could get really good Thai food-so that the next time I'm having a craving, I can go back over there...I hope it's still there.

I just looked today and it is now closed until June 5. Maybe they are doing renovations. We came for Mother's Day. I was a little nervous because it's been years since we have eaten here and it appeared to look like a lot of tourists eating here. I'm Thai and I was wondering if I was going to be disappointed. I remember the food being OK so I kept an open mind. I decided to order something I normally would not which is the clay pot crab with glass noodles. it was OK. The crab didn't have a huge prominent taste and glass noodles are just meh to me. We also ordered the crab fried rice which was exceptional. I would definitely order that again. There was so much flavor in the rice. I also ordered a yum salad with tofu. That was also good. I loved the chili lime dressing and the added cilantro made it taste even more fresh. The lettuce leaves were huge though. I'm not sure why they were the size of a hamburger patty. It made for eating the salad challenging and messy. My kid had the salmon curry. She loved it. She doesn't handle spice so she asked for a level 2. Level two was spicy for her but she was able to eat it. Being Thai I did not feel it was spicy at all. But it did have a little bit of heat. The Mr ordered the crispy garlic chicken. It was a huge plate of it. He said it was good. He also ordered beef masuman. I will say that the portion seemed tiny. He said it was also good. I actually was pleasantly surprised this time around as I remember coming years ago and it was just OK. About the music. I did read lots of comments about their music Choice. It's not classical but jazz. To my astonishment it was extremely loud. The music Choice was not the issue but the loudness of it. I'm not sure if they tried to make it loud to sound like live music or not. We couldn't even talk to each other because we would've ended up shouting. That's really our only complaint.

Please know that parking across the street at Times and Longs or on the other side of red-elephant can get you towed. It is a shame too because I know from our security footage that all five of our spaces have been utilized many evenings on many different nights for many a couple of hours after 7:00 pm and most from hours from 5:30 pm to 9:00 pm on Fridays when we are closed. The agreement worked awesome for over 6 years and the new owner is refusing to continue the agreement.

    Came on a Monday afternoon. Got summer rolls, pad see ew, panang curry, and a Thai iced tea…read more This place is such a cute little hide away with a tree growing in the middle. The food was so good, all warm and delicious. Had a bit of a wait for the check but the atmosphere makes up for it. The host and server were attentive and sweet. This is such a cute hidden gem, I wish I knew about this place earlier in life. I'd love to come back.

    The food is excellent here! We were hungry and we found this Thai restaurant late at night. It…read morecloses at 1am. We ordered yellow curry, panang curry, pad kee mao, roti, chicken wings, pad kaprow, and a chicken noodle soup. The waiter brought out the dishes within minutes. The serving size was just right for the noodle and rice dishes, but I thought the curry size was a little small. I tried every single dish and they were delicious! Every dish had tons of flavor. The wings were crispy along with the roti. We dipped it into a curry sauce since we had a person allergic to peanuts. Yum! When I come back to Waikiki, I will definitely come back here again. Service was quick, they tended to our needs, and food was phenomenal! Come and taste it for yourself!

    We were just wandering around Waikiki, got hungry, and spotted this place. The fact that it was…read morepacked on a weeknight told us everything we needed to know -- we figured if it's that busy, it had to be good. So we walked right in on a whim and honestly couldn't have made a better decision. The vibe inside is casual and lively, great for people watching right in the heart of Waikiki. Staff were on top of everything from the moment we sat down -- attentive, friendly, and helpful with the menu. No complaints there at all. Now the food -- let's talk about it. The Papaya Salad was hands down one of the best we've ever had. Fresh, bright, punchy flavor. Fair warning though -- it has some kick to it, so if you're spice sensitive just give them a heads up. The Chicken Pad Thai was excellent, and we loved that it came with tofu as well -- generous and flavorful. The Tom Yum Soup with shrimp was a hit at the table, that classic sweet, sour, and savory broth done right. Kids enjoyed it too which is always a win -- and that's saying something because kids are tough critics. Prices are reasonable especially for being right in the middle of Waikiki where everything tends to cost a premium. Walkable from pretty much everywhere on the strip which makes it super convenient for a spontaneous dinner like ours.
