I did an uber Oder this morning and I waited to 12pm which was fine but when I got my order it was wrong I ordered local boy but open plate and there was no Laulau no pelehu ribs I had chicken my name is jon medeiros deli bing to Avalon care facility read more

tried the poke and kahlua pork nachos. both were great, but we leaned towards liking the pork more. one plate can feed 2 if not 3! it's a little heavy so would recommend on a day you don't have too much going on. read more

On our last trip to Oahu this was the final stop before dropping of the car and boarding our plane. It had been on my must stop list before we even arrived in Oahu. The reviews were impress and the menu looked to have plenty of variety to please all pallets. It had been a long day circling the island and were already for a local meal to remember before taking to the skies. The location is not impressive from the outside but that wasn't of any concern. I was there for the food. We arrived close to the end of the day and a few items had sold out. Pretty much a positive indication that the food is prepared fresh daily. The inside was very homey and it felt like we were certainly at a family establishment. There was even a little guy there helping out between bouts of getting his homework done. I don't recall our entrees in particular with the exception of the beef stew and the lau lau both of which made a remarkable impression and would be a 100% go to on the next visit. I'm making myself hungry right now based on the memory of those tasty dishes. I'm no local but if anything was like stepping into your aunties kitchen this was the place. Needless to say the flight home with a full tummy in a food coma was awesome. read more

Little expensive but honestly worth it! The portions were , food was delicious. I'm Mexican and the Mexican food was authentic & delicioso, my bf is Hawaiian and he said the laulau so Ono. Services was fast and staff was so friendly. Will be back again :) read more

An interesting place that combines poke and Mexican food at one location. The poke nachos were hella big and hella good. 10/10 would recommend getting. The Mexican food we got was also very good too so I would highly give that a try. read more

This place was such a great find! The owner is Super nice and great customer service. His portions were super big and so affordable. My family and I enjoyed his company and food. I did not get a chance to take pictures of all of the food my family and I ordered but the nachos were pretty amazing. Thank you! To the owner: my California family and I really loved your food and how you treated us. We can't wait to come back and we will make sure to stop by again. read more

The one thing on my stepdads list of food to try before leaving Hawaii was lau lau. Whenever I'm in the mood for lau lau I go to Young's, but they're take out only. I searched up lau lau on Yelp and low and behold Kehau's Kitchen popped up as number one! The last time I ate here was four years ago so I was stoked to come back, try their food, and take my family here. I ordered the Lau Lau Ala Carte. The lau lau was a hefty size and I was only able to eat about one third of it. The pork inside was tender, filling, and cooked perfectly! They also provided chili pepper water which paired really well with the lau lau. My stepdad got the Lau Lau Combo Plate and my Mom got the Kalua Pig and Cabbage. Everyone raved about their food and loved it. It was a real treat for all of us since we can't find good quality Hawaiian food like Kehau's Kitchen on the mainland. Service here is excellent! We were the only customers dining inside and were treated so well. The workers were extremely friendly and polite, always there in a blink of an eye to assist us, talked story with us, and constantly checked in on us to see how we were doing. It honestly didn't feel like we were dining at a restaurant but more like a gathering with friends! Everything about Kehau's Kitchen is worth the drive and I can't wait to come back here and take my friends! read more

Do not eat here was the worst Hawaiian food experience in my life order the whole 9 yards the bill came out to 100 and something. The only thing that was edible and tasteful was Kalua pig, rice was mushy the the chicken long rice was just long rice, squid luau was just luau leaf , Lomi salmon was just lomi tomato and onion , couldn't have been more disappointed in my life read more

What is going on with this! Zippy's only charge 2% on dine in only for the kitchen staff, which is hardly anything. 18% Inflation Fee...is crazy....plus tip. You are paying almost 33% for your food. This is unacceptable, I don't care how good the food is, Hopefully the owner of this restaurant do something right away or start loosing customers. Very disappointed, this was my favorite restaurant. Aloha, Derek read more

I was so disappointed with the food and service. Came here for the 1st time with family visiting from CA. They were excited to eat hawaiian food and try their tripe stew. Well, they were out of tripe stew and they forgot part of my order which was laulau and chicken long rice. The laulau was bland and the chicken long rice was even worse. There was NO FLAVOR, NONE AT ALL! The long rice had no taste and the broth tasted like water. Our server didn't even apologize for forgetting my food. They also forgot another order which was teri beef that didn't taste like teri beef. Their squid luau was an unnatural emerald green color and had no Kalo leavveryIt was very watery. I think they put food coloring in the coconut milk. 1st and last time coming here. read more

Food is AmAzInG!!! Generous portion & so ONO! I witnessed EVERY customer that came in leaving happy & content!! Great customer service is rare nowadays & this place makes you feel as if you're at a family gathering. MAHALO PIHA to Nate & Gloria!!! read more

Hawaiian food. Mexican food. Local favorites. Yes, please! All of it exists in this hole-in-the-wall spot surrounded by dental offices and across fron Anna Miller's. It's a gem, hidden in plain sight, and open just when you might want to bring a friend to try something new. Kehau's Kitchen popped up while I was searching for a nearby place that had lau lau on a Sunday. A few reviews in and I was certain that I knew where I was eating lunch. A few more and I knew what I would order, because why hasn't lau lau Katsu existed in my life before this exact moment? I decided to blame Yelp, as I'd not have known without that review. Turns out it's an occasional daily special, but they will make it for you if you ask. Thank you for that extra bit of customer service, it means so much! I also ordered a few street tacos and what I thought would be a reasonable portion of ahi poke. Whoops! Turns out that the poke nachos are more than enough to share with a table filled with friends, but I did my best and brought home the rest. Not to share, oh no! I was on my own that night, so it was alllll for me. I do look forward to sharing an order with someone soon. The lau lau was well sized. Not tiny but not too big to eat all at once either. Everything packed inside was juicy and the saltiness of the meat worked so well with the crunch of the katsu. I know, your brain is having a hard time thinking of crispy crunchy lau lau, but I promise it is good. The tacos were great, just a few bites each and a perfect add on to any meal, especially as they are affordable and individually priced. I already mentioned the nachos, so consider yourself warned about their massive tastiness. I'm looking forward to trying more of their menu, but know I will need multiple trips in order to enjoy both aspects. As much as I enjoyed the lau lau katsu I have a feeling that I will love the other items on the Hawaiian menu as much if not more. My love of "mixed" restaurants has existed since childhood, when I realized that my desire was to try everything. Fusion foods are great, and I adore seeing how similar dishes can live together on one international plate, but give me a restaurant that offers distinct foods from multiple cultures and I'm just as happy. I'm ok if the foods on my table have nothing in common other than their delicious natures, and I raise my fork to the restaurant owners who celebrate their multicultural backgrounds. It turns out that some meals can be "yes-and" instead of "either-or" if you are willing to try! read more

We were visiting from the mainland and stopped by here for a late lunch. All tables to dine in were full and there was a party waiting ahead of us so there was a little wait for a table. Not totally starving, we decided to wait and was encouraged to put our order in first so when we were seated, the food would be ready shortly. I will say while we were waiting for our table, the front of the house staff (including who we think is the owner) was always in motion, checking in on other patrons, clearing off food, preparing takeout orders and they all did it without getting flustered. This wasn't even peak meal hour and a time when most restaurants would have probably been expecting some down time before the next rush. When bringing out food, the owner acknowledged our patience and provided something extra from the kitchen. She then chatted with us for a few minutes and was back to work. We love places with heart and this place certainly has that. Plus the food was delicious, the portion sizes generous and the price not outrageous. This is now one of our go to places when we come visit family. Some things to note: - Kehau's Kitchen serves plate lunch Hawaiian food along with versions with a Mexican twist. The Mexican dishes require a 15min lead time and are prepared per order. read more

Great service. The poke nachos were so delicious. The portions are huge so you get what you pay for. Super fresh.

The food was good and we were incredibly impressed by the service and the family atmosphere.

So earlier this week I had a craving for some Hawaiian food and wanted to try this place out. The food was good and had some unique flavor for some of the items. The staff provided good service as well. Ms Gloria mentioned that in the upcoming months they are going to bring on a butterfish and pork combo lau lau They have military discount as well read more

If you are craving both Mexican and Hawaiian food, this is the place to check it out. They do not have combinated plates for both cuisine, but you can order two cuisines at this restaurant. The reason why I gave two stars was due to the overprice for a Hawaiian Plate, the Local Boy plate which cost about $25. The food wasn't up to my standard due to the small portions for lau lau, shredded kalua pork, and lomi salmon with a HUGE amount of mushy wet rice that was not edible. Interestingly, the Pulehu short ribs was very sweet, like it had a sugar-coating. Maybe the day, I went wasn't the day, but that experience wasn't the greatest. However, I would like to try it again to give it another chance. Menu: https://kehauskitchenrestaurant.com/menu/ read more

Good food. Short Ribs are delicious. Habanero sauce has a kick. Great service and recommendations.

Well what can I say about this place. The food wasn't to my expectation. My husband wanted puelhu ribs to try he order it and also wanted squid luau never have then tripe stew never have so last was the poi the server said he got to check. So what kind of place is this no poi Hum... I told him three strike and your out. HE came back and said we get poi. So now my turn to order I had the cheese quesadillas plate came with mexican rice and black beans. Well when the food came out I took the 1st bite the Mexican rice was cold, the quesadilla was oily or to buttery and over cooked. And the black beans it really wasnt to my liking. The puelhu ribs tasted like teriyaki not grilled with hawn salt and pepper. Well if somebody says lets go maybe I will go back but not really in the future. Even though some yelpers said the food was good. read more

We ordered the local boy and squid luau for takeout. The local boy comes with Lau Lau, short rib, kalua pork, beef stew gravy, and lomi salmon. The lau lau was my favorite item in this combo. It was a bit dry, but wrapped in leaves it was good. The short rib and kalua pork paired with the lomi salmon was also excellent. The kalua pork was a bit too dry and didn't taste all that great by itself. The beef stew gravy tasted very odd to me as it was a bit sweet. We also ordered a squid luau, which came in a green soup with small pieces of squid. The green seems to come from seaweed and had a distinct flavor, but I wasn't really a fan of this. read more

[Food]-3 We ordered four meals for three people and it cost 140 with tip. It was strange that we couldn't order without paying first and the waiter told us to use Qr-code only.About the food, I can only say that the pork is very salty and the beef is a little raw. [Server]-0 You can say there was no service from start to finish, when we finished our order, the food came to the table and still no water was provided to us, the food was very salty, we had to ask the waiter for water at the end, when we ate nacho there was nothing, the waiter's attitude was very casual, we didn't feel any service, it was the worst service I have ever experienced in a restaurant.On the contrary, the kitchen staff is very polite. [Dining environment]-3 Not many tables, a smaller restaurant. read more

I'm back visiting from SanDiego and was looking for a local Hawaiian restauraunt with good food and a nice quiet ambiance. Kehau's Kitchen did not disappoint. The three of us loved it and our waitress was terrific. We had a bit of everything and it was all fantastic .. wound up taking a lot home since the portions are very generous too. We really enjoyed chatting with our server, she was all smiles and very helpful explaining all the cool stuff and the combination plates on the menu, along with a lot of interesting local history. We'll go back for sure. Thank you for such a nice time read more

Cozy small place with brightly colored walls and friendly staff. The nachos were enough to share for two. Spicy ahi that tasted pretty fresh and crispy wonton strips with a generous sauce drizzle. No dry chips at the bottom was a huge plus. Would def visit again- a good place to take your friends who want big portions and tasty Hawaiian or Hawaiian fusion food. Excited to try the local boy meal next. It looked fantastic. read more

Ordered the poke nachos and kalbi. Tasted pretty good. It felt pretty chaotic imside, even without much going on. Had put in an online order but got there at the time it said it would be ready only to find out that my order had been canceled becuase they did not have one of the things we ordered. So had to put in a new order while there and wait. They took my number and said they would call when the food was ready so I waited outside. After about 30 minutes, still had not received a call so went inside only for the girl working there to says she's been calling out my name for a while. Oh geez! Otherwise, pricey but good stuff =) read more

Good food - good service. Only problem was we got there at 6:00 and a lot of their menu had sold out. What we had was good - highly recommend poke Nachos, ribs. I liked the lau lau but leaf wrap needed to be cooked more - was stiill too fibroous to eat - but filling was good read more

This is my first time in Hawaii, and eating here was my first meal after landing. I absolutely loved this place. A friend and I shared the Pua'a to da Poke nachos and my wife had the Kalua combo. Not only was this a great meal all around, but it was an excellent way to introduce myself to Hawaiian cuisine for the first time. The owner of this place is incredibly nice and hospital, and overall just a very friendly gal who loves to talk and share her experiences. This restaurant is open to just hang out and enjoy some quality nachos with some quality friends. read more

We got to visit Kehau's Kitchen when we were on a family vacation to Oahu. The shop is small and on the bottom floor of a two story business center, on the street side. We ordered ribs and flautas. The taste of the food was amazing...their seasoned rice is a must! Our kidlet gave 2 thumbs up for the food! My husband asked what their secret recipe was for the ribs, and Ty (awesome guy at the counter) pulled out a sack of bbq seasoning from behind the counter. So, long story short, we will be challenging my brother to a rib off soon. Haha secret weapon!! They give you a whole pitcher of ice water at the table...which is SO appreciated! Totally going to come back the next time we vacay on Oahu. Kehau's Kitchen was a great discovery for us! read more

We arrived at 5pm, height of dinner time rush. Ordered #2 combo for $24.95 and side chicken long rice for $8.95. Got home and our plate was short of the BBQ chicken. Laulau was ok. Lomi salmon was ok. Chicken long rice was tasteless and chicken less. Never going back and not recommending this place. Maybe the Mexican food is better??? read more
