Came here a couple times cause it's close and always get it for take out. Coworker ordered the pad thai with chicken and got a wad of plastic in her food. I got the lao sausage, which can be considered spicy for some. I thought the heat and flavor were just right. But yeah. You can call ahead and still expect to wait a bit due to how busy they get. Haven't been disappointed by the things I've ordered from here. Oxtail soup with rice or Oxtail pho are my go tos. read more

It's an excellent deal... The food is above average but the prices are really good and portions are good. Green Curry is too watery for my taste but still a nice blend of eggplant and protein. Spice level is just right. Pad thai noodles a little too sweet for my taste but still ... Pork is nice and tender. Noodle doesn't fall apart. Spring roll not bad .. but smaller than pic. Be careful with the chilli oil... It packs a punch. Use sparingly you have been warned. Also note only open during weekdays and closes at 1PM. It's right next to Alicia's. read more

I found K & M Drive Inn through Yelp while looking for a spot that could handle a big company order, and I'm so glad I did. We needed 120 breakfast bentos for a very early morning work meeting, and they delivered perfectly. Even though vegetarian isn't on their menu, they were super accommodating and created custom bentos with scrambled eggs and veggies over rice for our team members who don't eat meat. That kind of flexibility isn't easy to find, and it meant a lot. The regular breakfast bentos are stacked--different meats, eggs, rice--hearty and filling. Everyone was happy, and there wasn't a single complaint (which is saying something when you're feeding 100+ people at 5:30 in the morning!). The staff was also extremely friendly and helpful. While they couldn't take card payment over the phone, they were quick with ringing me up when I stopped by in person. Parking can be a little tough in the area, but I got lucky. On the actual pickup day, everything was ready to go--smooth and organized for my guys to grab and deliver. Between the generous portions, great flavor, and excellent customer service, K & M really came through for us. Definitely a go-to spot if you need reliable local food and friendly service, even for a massive order at sunrise! Keep it up K & M - We will definitely be back! Happy Eating, Chass read more

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 read more

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! read more

Foods is very tasty & delicious and the service was excellent and price is cheap too I would recommend this to my friends.

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. read more

K & M Drive Inn is a newer restaurant that's been in business for about 3 months. They are located next to Alicia's Market and share the same parking area. Ramfis B. was the Yeep that put them on my radar. He posted their breakfast bento and I was sold on giving them a try because it was a deal for $6.50. From his post, it seemed like they are very generous with the meats, eggs and rice in the bento. It took me a few weeks to find time to check them out and with my luck, there was crazy traffic heading there. When I arrived, there were several open stalls so I lucked out on parking. The restaurant is clean with several tables in the dining area. They can accommodate individuals and groups of 2-4 per table. There is also a condiment section in the back left corner. On the back right corner is a fridge with several drink options. Immediately to the right is a window to order and pay. I wasn't sure if there was a table where they put their bentos on so I asked the cashier. She gave me the bad news that all the bentos for the day were sold out. Just my luck right? She said the rest of the menu is available minus a few items. It took me a few minutes to decide. I saw pho but since it took me so long to get there, we didn't have time to dine in and pho doesn't taste the same as a to go order. My dad decided on their BBQ Chicken and I settled on their Oxtail Soup w/Rice. The BBQ Chicken came with the option of Tossed Salad or Mac Salad. I chose Tossed Salad for him as a healthier option. My order came with a mountain of rice and container of ginger. The cashiers mom was in the kitchen and she got started on our order as soon as she could. The place was busy while we were waiting for our order. No wonder they were sold out of their bentos. The cashier said some days they still have breakfast bentos available at closing while other days are very busy and they are sold out right away. It's best to call to see availability or to phone order it and have them put it on the side. The Oxtail Soup was legit with Shiitake mushrooms, cabbage, choy sum and several pieces of oxtail so missing out on their Breakfast Bento wasn't too bad. I still want to try it but I would definitely come back for their Oxtail Soup w/Rice. read more

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! read more

The Oxtail soup is worth it at $16. It's probably the cheapest and best Oxtail for the price! Great value! Great taste!

I really appreciate how accommodating K & M is. It was our turn to bring snacks for a group of basketball teenagers and coaches after their game. Since the game was in the morning, I figure pass out breakfast. I called about 6 am for pick up time at 8:30 am. Once I got there, the breakfast bentos were ready. At the same time, they had a system going on to fulfill a big order for a funeral. I was impressed. The team enjoyed their bento, because of the variety in there. They even gave packets of ketchup and shoyu. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

Food is great. Must try the homemade hot sauce it's my got to with fried pork or chicken.

I watched Misty; star of the "Food Fiend" on You tube. She had a video of the Ox Tail soup from K&M drive inn. Last Saturday we went down there to try it out and was lucky enough to get a table to eat the Ox Tail soup. The Soup itself was FANTASTIC, a few big pieces and a small ono one too. This was the bomb I almost went back this past week was so ono. Really HOT, Delicious and filling... Right now for under $16 a bowl its the best deal in town they should really charge more but the girl told me they want to make it affordable for everyone... Really great folks, PS... her mom is the cook and she does a really awesome job! read more
