At…read moreEat the Street this past weekend, the food truck was so colorful and welcoming, I had to go over and see their options. With a number of deliciously interesting dishes, I settled on the Crawfish Etouffee! In a creamy white and red sauce, the large succulent crawfish were perfectly done. With just a bite of heat, all the flavors complimented each other each. The rice and sides were perfectly presented; it was as appetizing as delicious. I was also impressed with the cleanliness of the truck and simplicity of the ordering and payment. Credit cards are accepted. Both the chef and cashier had that southern hospitality and welcoming manner. I can't wait to give their other items a try very soon! Bon appetite!

My second visit was this past Thursday for the Maker & Tasters Ramenagogo event, so my bf and I tried their creole saimin. We were both very dissapointed. Our food came out cold, so we asked them to reheat it. From the time we arrived to the time we left was almost an hour because it took FOREVER for them to make the food each time. Also, it didn't taste that good. They were nice enough to comp us bourbon bread pudding since we were dissatisfied--that was really yummy (nice and gooey, not too sweet)! We noticed another customer was waiting forever too, so he asked to be comped a bread pudding. My advice: only come here if you're willing to wait.

They completely melt in my mouth. I'm not really sure what's in Keefe's Secret Love Sauce, but it is delicious! It perfectly complements every dish, especially the fish tacos! The grilled rum pineapple sends tingles to my toes like Colbie Caillat's song. That's probably what the song is actually written about. Tonight I decided to branch out and try guest chef Houston's Ho-bobs. What can I say? The beef calls to me (yes, that was a rhetorical question). The succulent mushrooms, crisp-grilled pineapple, and caramelized onion paired with the perfectly medium-rare beef left me aching for more. But I left completely satisfied. The ambiance of the restaurant is both relaxing and stimulating with a coveted hammock overlooking Honolulu and the ocean. Outdoor seating only. It's a great place to go after a long day on the beach. And need I mention romance? I've only seen one proposal here, but by golly, it brought me to tears. The entire staff and restaurant got in on the gig and serenaded the bride-to-be with a traditional Hawaiian love song. The restaurant often has live music and many of the staff are a' cappella trained. They are more than willing to oblige requests for love songs, classical island music, erotica, and of course, the occasional Metallica. Ukuleles required. Speaking of the staff, they are so friendly. They make me feel warm and welcomed both at the restaurant and at the after party. I have often woken up unmolested on the couch of one of the staff members as their complementary drinks left me unable to make the drive home. Thoroughly recommend! Must make a reservation well in advance!

Prices are fantastic as the chef personally catches all the food he prepares so you don't have to worry about "market prices," each dish is expertly prepared and can by tailored to your individual taste. I've only tired Keefe's secret love sauce once or twice, but I completely agree with Eric C: "TA DIE FOR!." Seating is very limited but they offer cocktail service on the lanai where, if you're lucky, you can jump in the hammock overlooking Honolulu while you wait. Although there is AC, indoor accommodations are definitely lacking; when the trade winds are in town I wouldn't even consider eating indoors. They offer complimentary wifi while you wait, but it is only available on the couch in the lobby and is barely capable of loading gmail. My favorite part however is the abundance of cats and the guests- who all seem to know each other- randomly breaking into song! If you can find this place (wrong address posted- only know about it bc I was brought by friends) you will have one of the best meals of your life! Try the fish tacos or poke. Caution: Not always suitable for children (the place next door has some shady stuff going on).

The location is super convenient to both the airport and Waikiki, which makes it an easy stop whether I'm arriving hungry or trying to squeeze in one last local meal before a flight. The restaurant itself is spacious with plenty of parking, so it never feels overly stressful to get in and out. Service has consistently been quick and friendly during my visits, and the food always delivers those comforting island flavors that somehow hit exactly right every time.

Pagaikiki's Kitchen was established in 2005 by the Pagaikiki Family in Samoa, offering Samoan…read moreflavored smoked BBQ dishes, such as huli huli chicken, turkey tails, and lechon. In 2016, the Pagaikiki Family moved to HI and focused on catering services. In 2021, a lunch wagon was purchased and upgraded to a 18-foot trailer that was used in Maili, on the Waianae side for business. The family has since relocated and are welcomed in its present permanent location in their own kiosk just outside of the Navy Exchange in Pearl Harbor, a retail department store and commissary for US military. There is also a food court, which is ope to the public. The Pagaikiki's Kitchen prepares, cooks, and offers the following: * Huli huli chicken * Beef BBQ * Lechon Plate * Turkey Tail Plate * Pork Plate * Ribs Plate Note that the marinade is made Samoan style, which has salt, sweet onion, garlic, black pepper, and other spices. Pagaikiki's most popular dish is its huli huli chicken, a grilled chicken dish known for its sweet, savory, and smoky flavor, enhanced by marinating chicken in a special sauce and basting it while grilling. "Huli Huli" means "turn turn" in Hawaiian, frequently turning chicken as it cooks, with a local marinade of soy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, pineapple juice, ginger, and garlic, creating a carmelized glaze when cooked. Note that Pacific Poultry Co., trademarked the term "huli huli" back in 1967 and restricts the use of "huli huli" on commercial sauces or specifically marketed chicken products by competitors without permission. As such, Pagaikiki's use of the term "huli huli" is describes their chicken as a cooking process, and not as a commercial sauce. This brings back memories of the 1970's and 1980's where school clubs would hold fundraising events of cooking and selling huli-huli chicken. A lot of hard work, but knowing when you follow that sweet smoky wafts, you'll be rewarded with delicious, juicy chicken! After the pandemic, however, these huli-huli chicken events have drastically decreased and hard to find. But when you do, you'll be rewarded with delicious and juicy chicken to savor! We've tried the following: * Whole "huli huli" chicken. A little different taste from your local "huli huli" chicken due to the Samoan flavors of ingredients and spices, but I loved it! Still considered island-style BBQ with smoky huli huli chicken, kiawe is the main flavor, with more smoke being incorporated. The chicken was slow roasted over fire until its glace carmelized, and was juicy, tender, well-seasoned, and very flavorful! Lots of juices came out of the chicken! * Rib plate. Tasty chewy ribs, but wished the meat would fall off of the bones. Can purchase meats ala carte or with two scoops rice and choice of salad, mac salad, or kim chee. The mac salad was tasty, with its Samoan version of ingredients and spices. There is complimentary house-made BBQ seasonings on the side that are very tasty and not spicy. Portions are generous, and prices are reasonable. Service was very friendly, as the family who operates the business is very welcoming and eager to answer your questions. The covered kiosk is located near the UPS Store and just outside of the NEX. The kiosk is rather large, as it incorporates ordering, pick-up, and houses drinks and equipment to maintain its popular huli huli chicken. No need to have military ID to purchase, as it is open to the public. Hours of operations are Mon to Sat 10a to 3p and closed Sun. Free parking is available in the NEX parking lot. We look forward in returning to having the huli-huli chicken again, as well as trying other menu items. Delicious meats, generous portions, reasonable prices, and friendly service are excellent reasons for enjoying this fine meal! We wish continued success for the Pagaikiki Family in their business venture! Support local!
