Every week they have different meals available. You can also order items in bulk. Everything looked fresh and smelled amazing. Each meal has the macros and date on them. You can freeze the meals up to two months and only need to heat them up for about two minutes. You can also order juice from another local company through this service. I would definitely recommend Good Clean Food Hawaii!

I stopped because there wasn't a lot of options back then so I got tired of eating the same things :) A few months ago I decided to order again to help me lose weight. They have so many choices, including a lot of very tasty vegetarian ones!!! Wow who knew I would start craving their black eye beans and kale? I've always love their 5 spice chicken and order extra Tzatziki sauce (sooooo ono). I've lost a few very stubborn lbs using this meal plan! I also tried their green juices which were delicious too. I feel like I'm actually saving money by buying GCF meals, eating healthier, and still enjoying flavors on a diet :)

Bread pudding on a Wednesday for no apparent reason except "just-cuz"-- well, if that doesn't…read morequalify, I'm finding every reason in the book to have bread pudding from Kimos Stache. Seriously. It's that good. And I don't even like bread pudding. It's not your traditional bread pudding-- it's a much needed upgrade to this classic holiday tradition you can now have all year long. Understandably, it's no surprise that the Hawaii Kai community raves about a season novelty turned everyday after-dinner dessert or in my case, a guilty-pleasure-perfect accompaniment with my morning coffee. What makes Kimo's bread pudding so easy-going I find, is that it's not custard-heavy and gummy like most bread pudding. It still retains the same familiar flavor but there's a nice airiness and crunch on the top from a delicious crust. It's like two-desserts in-one: reminiscent of a Kouign-Amon with a delicious comforting custard inside. If you are a chocolate-lover like me, Kimo has a divine chocolate bread pudding and currently for the holidays, a pumpkin cream cheese which I heard is a must. Popular for parties, you can order $12 loaves, $15 for flavors or party pans for $35, $40 for flavors. He also delivers if you live in the HK area for a small delivery fee. He used to post in the parking lot across from the HK Costco but haven't seen him there lately, but you can catch him at Kaiser's Farmer's Market from 4p-6p Tuesdays. You can't miss the pink and green sign. He sells out quick, so make sure to get yours and my suggestion, order at least two-- one for you and a friend or two for you (no judgment).

I've been using Malama Meals for about six weeks now, and I can honestly say it has completely…read morechanged my routine and lifestyle for the better! Every week they rotate in different meals, so it never feels boring or repetitive -- I actually look forward to seeing what's on the menu. Living in Hawaii, groceries are so expensive, and meal prepping used to take up so much of my time (and money). Malama Meals has not only saved me time and effort but has also helped me save money. The portions are perfect -- I get the regular-sized meals, and they always leave me feeling satisfied without that uncomfortable, overly full feeling. On top of the food being absolutely delicious and super fresh, the woman who runs it is incredibly sweet and thoughtful. She's always kind and welcoming every time I pick up my meals, and it's clear she puts so much love and care into her business. I'm so grateful that this company exists. It's made eating well and staying nourished so easy and enjoyable. Highly recommend to anyone looking to simplify their week and still eat amazing food!

And I prefer that to over salted food which is more common with meal kits. Veggies were cooked perfectly. There was a good amount of protein with each meal. I paid the extra $10 for delivery which was very convenient. Some things that can be improved: - ability to swap carbs for more veggies for those who are paleo/low carb - confirmation email or text after ordering. When my driver texted me that he was showing up, I had no idea who he was bc I had ordered the food 5 days before and completely forgot about it! - a printed menu included with the meal kits to remind us what we are eating Overall, I would recommend. Food delivered on Monday was still fresh and tasty on Friday.

The beef stew is always a go to quick meal as well. Aina Meals is part of my lifestyle now. Highly recommend.

It is a bit pricey compared to cooking at home, but cheaper than taking/eating out. The only reason why I'm not rating higher is that the salmon option we got was very fishy smelling and tasting. We're open to using the service again in the future and already got some ideas for how to better prepare meals on our own from some of the dishes. We highly recommend this company.

This shop is on the left side of Foodland. The small size sandwich was big enough for us. We were so full afterwards that was about to explode. The cashier was very friendly and nice, always kept her smile. There are many tables for 2-4 people inside. Mobile order is available to skip the line. Next time we have to go hiking or do lots of exercise to deserve such a calorific and delicious treat.

Capriotti's in Honolulu delivers on fresh ingredients. The meats, cheese, and vegetables were all…read morefresh, tasty, and clearly high quality. The sandwich itself was satisfying, but it was missing one thing: flavor from seasoning. Everything tasted fresh, yet somewhat bland because there was little to no seasoning to bring the ingredients together. My biggest disappointment was the bread. Growing up with Capriotti's back in Delaware, the rolls were a huge part of what made the sandwiches special. The rolls at this location just aren't the same. They're soft and remind me more of the standard hoagie rolls you can pick up at a supermarket rather than the distinctive rolls I remember from back home. Overall, the ingredients are fresh and the service was good, but the lack of seasoning and the difference in the bread keep this from being the Capriotti's experience I was hoping for. Not a bad sandwich by any means, just not quite what I remember from Delaware.

We hired Picnics from the Vine to cater two events. The first event was a small dinner party for 9…read morefamily and friends. Chef Kelly was very professional. We chose her because her website was transparent, and also she was the only caterer that responded in a timely fashion. Literally 30 seconds after I hit "send" on my inquiry I received a phone call from Chef Kelly. She was very collaborative and down to earth. She made suggestions for the menu and quantity of food. She sent over a quote super quickly as soon as we settled on the details. She was very easy to reach via text. No waiting for days for a cater to respond and provide a quote! On the day of the dinner party, she arrived on time and started cooking. We had 8 adults and a 5yo. My son really liked Kelly. She let him help make a small cheese pizza for himself and didn't mind that he was in the kitchen asking her questions from time to time. The adults had lemongrass shrimp skewers, green tea salmon, roasted chicken, plus vegetables and rice. Dessert was a fruit plate (at our request to accommodate some of the guest's dietary restrictions). I thought the fruit plate would be boring but we were wrong. It was actually quite beautiful and delicious. She managed to find the sweetest mangoes that everyone clamored for. I forgot to take photos of all the food. The second event was a kids birthday party. We had the food delivered for this one. The food arrived on time and all we had to do was reheat some of it in the oven. We had an extra large charcuterie box, a box of tea sandwiches, and garlic noodles. We chose the menu to cater to a kindergartner's taste, but the adult guests seemed to love the food as well. I got multiple compliments about the charcuterie box. The Nutella and strawberry tea sandwiches went quickest. My favorite was the truffled egg sandwich. We also had ham and chicken. The noodles were also delicious and very filling. Overall, we would hire her again!

She purchased cute decor for the grazing table. The other selections we chose were Spaghetti and meatballs (both adult and kid friendly), Jasmine rice, lemon chicken, truffled deviled eggs (so good), Tator tots, chicken tenders, portobello mushrooms, and a salad. Caramelized onion and apple tarts, and strawberry cupcakes! The set up was perfect! Unfortunately some of the chaffing dishes were on the small side and we ran out of food. Kelly was very gracious and gave my husband and I a complimentary picnic on Vday! That was very nice of her. Everyone enjoyed the food. I recommend her services!

When…read morewe got back in 2024, we had several boxes with considerable issues, missing protein, degraded packaging, rotting vegetables. It was impressively bad. I was looking to start again now in 2026, hoping the reviews would be better but appears there are the same issues as before. This was such a GREAT service, and living on mainland, i had access to ALL the services. I STILL considered this one of the best. Wondering how this company has fallen so far.

Very poor / slow customer service…read more My first order was delivered with no proteins (supposed to have steak, pork, and shrimp ... all I received was vegetables and meal cards / recipes.) There is no phone number to call, so I emailed them, and emailed again a couple of days later, and again a couple of days later. I did eventually hear back and was given a $30 dollar coupon for another order. Essentially I paid nearly $70 for about $25 worth of vegetables (for me to buy the missing proteins was almost $45). I did place a second order with the coupon and no issues with delivery on the second order. Pros: delivery is convenient, meals are not hard to make, instructions are pretty clear. Cons: POOR customer service, cannot include some meals from the regular menu and some from the gluten free (it is one or the other), meals are not overly flavorful, no cooling packs / ice in the delivery boxes and no effort to place the box in the shade on my porch (box was left in direct sun and was very warm when I got home -- likely effected quality of the vegetables)
