Maybe a controversial take, but beastside has my favorite garlic shrimp on island. Unlike…read moreGiovanni's, Jenny's, and all the other Haleiwa shrimp trucks, Beastside fries their shrimp without breading so that it's super crispy and flavorful. You can even eat the skin! I've returned here time after time, and in addition to the shrimp being great, the staff are always very friendly, all of the food is delicious, and they sometimes have live musicians. Highly recommend if you're on the East side, and worth the drive for good garlic shrimp even if you aren't.

My husband and I decided to go to Beastside Kitchen because the reviews were so good. Yelp never…read moresteers us wrong and Beastside was no exception! It was absolutely worth the hype. From the warm and friendly service to the delicious Hawaii local beers, we were impressed. When the food came out, we were blown away. We started with the Pork Belly Bao Buns...oh my gosh, we could have made a meal out of just those! The pork belly was juicy and soft and with the sauce and fluffy bao buns...they will be something I dream of when we leave Hawaii. We then shared the two choice platter with the Guava fried chicken and Umami Garlic Shrimp. It was soooo good and the reviews were spot on. We were full and completely happy by the time we left! I will be recommending them to all our friends that visit and live in Hawaii.

The food was delicious, fresh, and full of unique local flavors. You can tell there is a lot of care and passion put into every dish. The portions were generous, the flavors were memorable, and everything felt like a true taste of Hawaiʻi. The service was friendly and welcoming, creating that feeling of being welcomed like ʻohana. Adela's is a perfect example of a local gem on the Windward side that deserves to be discovered. I highly recommend stopping by if you're in Kāneʻohe -- a great place for delicious food and an authentic island experience!

We were worried about the long wait so checked out the website and put in a phone order. We ordered the yummy Pork Malunggay noodles and Ube with Shrimp and Garlic sauce! The pasta noodle texture is seriously on point! I would make the trip over and over again. Sooo good! Millie is the sweetest! She took our phone order and helped us from arrival to departure. Upon arrival, we let Millie know we phoned in our order, and wanted to pick out some cheesecakes and drinks Togo! Such hard decisions. We ended up with Ube and Lychee Cheesecakes and both were delicious! We love supporting small businesses! The ambiance is so welcoming! They were so busy and for such a small establishment, was pushing a lot out of this tiny space. No seating inside, small bench outside so please be ware. Many were eating in their vehicles! Can't wait to come back!

Made sure to come here the first night I landed so I did not miss out and could see if it lived up to the hype. It did. It is such a fun place to feel like you are having a picnic. You know this place is good since there is a steady line of people ordering bags and bags of food. Just to say, this is another must-do must-try place for food. We was super excited to have the mixed plate with gravy. It was beef, chicken and fish with rice and mac salad. It was huge and perfect. It tasted amazing and I would order this again and again. We had two of those. We also tried the loco moco and classic dish, and the saimin, which I had always wanted to try. One child also ordered the BBQ pork sandwich which she enjoyed and since it was a small menu item could help with the mix plate, which is impossible to finish in one sitting. I was stuffed and in woman versus food, food won overwhelmingly. I wish I had room to try the slush and ice cream or other items, but I could not eat another bite. So many items on the menu were very tempting and I am sad I only got to visit here one time. I do hope to return and have so many things on my dish wish list, but that mixed plate was so good, I bet I would go with that again.

The four of us shared the loco moco plate, boneless chicken with gravy plate, and the BBQ beef plate. Food was good and hearty. My favorite was the loco moco plate. Boneless chicken had some pieces that were on the pink-ish side and the breading was a little soggy and didn't stick to the chicken that well. BBQ beef plate was good but nothing mindblowing. Some beef slices were dry. Mac salad was good. Overall good place for a cozy classic Hawaiian meal.

During a visit here with my friends who was visiting from out of town, they both enjoyed their entree with a beer, love the atmosphere- we got to chat and ended up staying until restaurant's closing time. The waitress that day was super friendly, full of Aloha! I love the local foods, everything I tried was very tasty, When dining in I usually go with the 2 item plates, picking all different items ( Lau, Kalua Pork, pork belly, chicekn long rice and sharing family style with extra rice. The food was broke da mouth! During one of my dining visits, I was on my no carb lifesytle and got the Island cobb salad with Kalua Pork ( available in 2 sizes $9./$17.) Lettuce, cucumber, corn, tomato, avocado with Kalua Pig, and sweet onion dressing. Wow, I am glad they have this option for salads. I hope they don't discontinue the Cobb salad as it was so good! During this recent stop I picked up the Pork Belly and Pipikaula plate in short ribs style. This was such a great choice as my family enoyed it . Beer and Pork Belly for pupus and pipikaua ribs for dinner. They have daily specials (beef stew, beef tomato, chicken hekka, sweet sour spare ribs, beef stew, grilled fish, shoyu chicken, garlic shrimp) which sounds good too. You can pick plates in mini or regular, two or three item combo, but few dollars more for crispy pork, smoked meat Pipikaula. Please check out Oahu Grill in the Kaimuki area, opens daily from 11-9 pm.

I spent my next-to-last day in Hawaii traveling by car towards the Windward side of the island. The…read moreplan was to take a hike along the way to the coast and then just meander the various spots of gorgeousness of the coastline of that part of the island. The hike worked up my appetite, and so I searched Yelp for nearby places to grab a lunch. I had already been to Kailua, and so this time I wanted to work my way through rural Waimanalo Beach. One of the most interesting places that came up on my search was Keneke's. It served local food and had great reviews, and so I plugged it into my Apple Maps and headed to Waimānalo. My first impression of Keneke's was that it felt more like a place you'd find in the rural countryside of a Caribbean island or Latin American country. I hadn't seen that in Hawaii until I came across Keneke's. You know, the type of place that's been around for years and draws people from far and wide for their good, home-cooked food. As you can see from the picture of Keneke's, the red on the walls makes the place stand out, but everything else about it was a bit confusing. There were two or three windows to place your order...a walk-up kind of place, but it was hard to tell which one to approach. They had old-fashioned wood-frame screens over the windows, which were hard to see through, looking from the sunlight into darkness. And no one called out to me as I stood there, either. It wasn't until a woman inside one of the windows opened the screen and yelled out a customer's name, some young guy playing a ukulele, that I knew where to order. I stepped back from the window as she handed him his food. Finally, she asked me for my order. The woman was very businesslike, and not friendly at all. I placed my order, my first Hawaiian "Loco Moco" with a Dr. Pepper. I waited quite a while for my name to be called from inside the simple concrete, dining room. It was nice and shady, but there were a couple of pesky little flies looking for food. Even though the place was kind of icky and the people weren't so friendly, I was still looking forward to the Loco Moco. You could tell the food would be good from the activity. The place was busy the whole time I was there, so I knew the food was going to be fresh and good. Wow! And I say that in both a good way and a bad way! For those of you who don't know, Loco Moco consists of two hamburger patties served with an egg over white sticky rice and mac salad, all smothered in sumptious brown gravy. Delicious, but a heart attack waiting to happen! You see, good and bad. In all seriousness, the Loco Moco was fresh and tasty, but it was very filling and I couldn't even finish it, which is a shame. Tip: order the Small size! In the end, and knowing what to expect, I'd still stop back at Keneke's. Their food was delicious snd they had an extensive menu. Who knows, maybe next time I'll try their "two quarter-pound deluxe cheeseburgers." Or maybe I'll just have the salad.

I've been here many many many times and it's finally time I let you in on this secret gem. It's a very small hole in the wall Mom n' Pop shop. There's some seating inside too if you need to rest from being outside in the sun all day. It's definitely no frills, but I'm not gonna dock any points because the main thing is the food. ABSOLUTE BANGER prices. I got the bbq cheeseburger and it was a dream. Very savory and the best part is you don't have to wait around in line for a food truck event to come up just to get your burger fix. I have NO idea what they put in this burger but it's brok da mout. It's SO cheap too. For their plates, they have mini and regular options...which is perfect when you're not ready to commit to a whole plate. The food is made fast and it tastes consistent every single time. They got their system down to a T. I got the BBQ Chicken mini and honestly, this is fully enough to fill you up. They're generous with the chicken, rice and mac. They really remind me of my family when it comes to portioning food...eat eat eat up and grow big. That is a VIBE. At this point I realized that I ate all of the food already and couldn't even show you the good stuff I got. HOWEVER, it's a huge recommend if you're in the area and coming back from the beach. It HITS. For those of you that love logistics planning before you make up your mind, here's a quick rundown: - Free Parking - Restrooms Available - Phone Orders (recommended) - They take card + cash (cash tips only) - Breakfast menu as well - Good, fair prices I hope you'll give them a chance :) ALOHA!
