    The only option for an okazuya in Wahiawa. This used to be a solid option for a cheap breakfast, but good times don't last. The shock and awe is now 5 bucks and the portions are the same. Slightly harder to justify. The okazu foods are just ok. Ordered a hamburger patty and some shrimp tempura. It was cold, but ok. Overall not a bad place, just not as much a deal as it used to be...

    Cash Only!!!!! I love okazuya food especially when they look like they were in business for a long time. Located on Mango street across Storage place, easy to find. Street parking is available but you must look. We got lucky as we found parking right outside. It was a busy street. As I walked in I notice how open it was with a the food showcase and a cashier up in the back. Looked like there was a sit in dining area because of the floor space inside before walking towards the back of the store. There were so many options, I was so excited. I decided to try fried chicken, chow fun, fish patty, veggie lumpia, hot dog , egg, maki sushi. Truth is I was disappointed because everything was not drained, very oily, and there was no taste. Looks like they were shorting the dashi and salt. I was actually disappointed. The price was reasonable for the portion which is a plus for everyone. I'm a very harsh critiquer and I'm willing to try again. Maybe it was an off day? I was hoping to get the mom and pops old school secret recipe and taste. Satisfaction? thumbs down, oily and no taste Would I come again? if I'm in the area and have CASH. But I like giving second chances. Mood? **Two stars for taste , THREE stars for good price and portion. I hope this helps. What is good there that everyone gets? Or would you know another mom and pops okazuya store?

    We were planning to go to Guieb for breakfast but found a parking space in front of Kitchen Delight. Fast change we will pick up for breakfast and lunch from here and take home. Small, few tables to dine in, counter to place orders or select from their prepared local Japanese type okazu food behind the glass. Note: update- The breakfast is now listed as $5.00 on their menu board. Lots of items caught my eye. The lady next to me told me she wanted to try one of everything on one plate- we giggled. I chose 2 each of: hot dog sticks, hamburger, fried chicken, longanisa 1 of: Vegetable tempura Potato tempura 1 serving Fried saimin 1 serving kimpira gobo These were to share with hubs, not all for me. My favorites were the crispy edges on the sweet potato(purple) tempura, longanisa and tender gobo. Afterthought I should have gotten a plain musubi it would have gone well with the flavor of the gobo. The cook seems to have a heavy hand on seasoning IMHO(salty) but perhaps some might like that. The fried saimin not so much flavor as the rest. Might be perfect to take down to the beach and chase down with ice cold water, Diet Coke or maybe something stronger. The vegetable tempura and fried chicken(huge, $4 a piece) looked awesome but was fried a bit too long so difficult to tear apart to eat. I grew up eating okazuya from Honda Delicatessan ( long gone) for elementary school field trips located across from the original Liliha Bakery. Those flavors from the past are hard for me to forget. Fast food chains seem to have replaced old school okazuyas but some still survive, not many in my neighborhood. For now bentos close to Pearlridge will have to do for me.

    Had an early lunch at nearby Shiges Saimin. Our Uber driver asked if we had tried Kitchen Delight. Well told him to take us there so we could pick up Okazu for dinner. This place had no signage that I could see from the street. Our driver pointed out a non descript green building. The service was pleasant. I ordered one Teriyaki turkey tail, one shrimp tempura, one vegetable tempura, and a roll of maki sushi. The turkey tail was the best of the bunch. The tempura both shrimp and vegetable were oily and had a thick tasteless batter. The roll of maki sushi was passable with a slight vinegar taste. batter. Other reviews had mentioned the breakfast plates, maybe that would have been better..Enjoy

    The Double Shock and Awe at Kitchen Delight will fill you up. Not many places you will find a meal of 4 eggs, 2 choices of meat and on a bed of fried rice for $11. The bowl of turkey tail adobo was also a tender, juicy but not to vinegary addition to my kanak attack. They are one of the most affordable okazuyas on the island, so if in Wahiawa check them out on Mango Street in a light green building with no real signage. They don't have a parking lot, but there's usually a lot of street parking. #bigboyproblems

    I think this was $8.50.

    I've been frequenting Kitchen Delight in Wahiawa lately. The food was always good but what keeps me coming back are the prices. Once I ordered 3 pieces of okazu including a adobo Turkey tail and it was only $4.50. They still have the shock and awe breakfast ( rice, 2 eggs and choice of meat) for only $4.00. It's like you went back in time about 10 years. There are okazuyas with better food but Kitchen Delight is about half the price.

    Good cheap food. Fair prices to say the least. Small place with no parking. Service is friendly enough. The inside has some seating if you would like to dine in. Food tasted good and fresh. Cash only. I posted menu and hours as well from feb2023. Aloha.

    Cant beat the price!!! Food was good and great for a quick breakfast before starting the day. Small seating area. I parked down the street in a small public parking area

    Hubby and I came here for breakfast. It's cash only. The breakfast plate with one meat is $4.00 from the menu I looked at. They have different combos you can get for a good price. This place was good for breakfast. I got white rice, two eggs over easy with two thick slices of spam. Spam was cooked through and slightly crispy on the outside. Just how I like it. I drank a Aloha maid iced tea. Tasted kind of strange for a canned drink but the food is what I enjoyed. The inside is fairly small and looks run down inside but the breakfast was good. I haven't really tried other items they sell. Maybe next time. Not really too sure of their business hours. I know they only open for breakfast and lunch.. Parking is on the street and usually fills up but we got here early enough where I found a parking spot up front. Not too bad..

    This place is very quiet and convenient for a home cooked breakfast, super homey and feel good place. The aunty that took our order is super nice and she also helps make the food. We'll be back my husband and i's food was only 8.50 for two plates! I got fried rice and spam with eggs my hubby got Portuguese sausage eggs and white rice. So homey and so good!

From the moment we walked up, we were greeted with warm hospitality.

The shaved ice in particular was a perfect treat: light, sweet, and super refreshing! There's shaded seating under a big tree in the parking lot, which made for a nice, breezy spot to enjoy our meal. Plus, there are a few fun photo ops around the lot, making it a cute and memorable stop and my son was entertained and wanted pictures with everything! Highly recommend this spot for great food, great service, and a laid back local vibe!

Now, is it actually the best? Food is subjective, Brah. But let me tell you my truth. The burger itself? A solid 5 out of 5. The bun is incredibly soft. It almost feels like it was steamed low-key like a Krystal burger, even though it's probably not. And the patty? Super flavorful. It honestly reminds me of a really good, seasoned meatloaf in the best way possible. I absolutely love it, even if your Auntie or Unko might disagree. The taste and the price point are honestly unbeatable. So why only 4 stars overall? Because I am a simple human, and my DNA dictates that a burger must be accompanied by fries. Eating a world-class burger without a side of crispy french fries feels like going to the beach and forgetting your slippahs. You know what I mean!? Crucial missing component! If you don't mind chasing a legendary burger with a bowl of saimin instead of fries, this place is an absolute must-try. Otherwise, you better go cruise over to Jack in the Box first for some curly fries!

There are about eight tempting dishes across the counter to attract customers. But for the last three weeks, I show up early to get a bowl of the thick, creamy seafood chowder. I love that the chowder is so hot that I can barely hold the bowl. The little bits of shrimp, seafood and celery are delicious. Oh, and the croutons, they are like little presents on top. I don't know how the croutons stay crispy in the chowder, but they do. I can barely wait to get home to dig in. The clerks are aloha friendly and there is usually not too long of a wait (when you're there early). They provide utensils and napkins and a compostable container. The Market opens 7:30 am on Saturdays and it's pretty crowded and there's no place to sit. I take my food to go. Highly recommend!!

It went perfectly with the shrimp scampi, which was super buttery and rich, almost like a creamy sauce for the steak with huge fancy mushrooms. It came with a small salad with oriental style dressing and a side of mayonnaise pasta salad (a little too rich to eat with everything, but still good). It was a really large portion and definitely satisfied my cravings for red meat. Already looking forward to returning!
