Kickin' Sweets was awesome enough to do a pop up at Ward Center and gave away FREE brownies with…read morechantilly icing, FREE chocolate chip cookes with chantily icing, and FREE iced coffee! They were situated in between the business in a sort of "hall/alley" area. I would have missed them if it wasn't for the crowd of people and me wondering what is going on? So generous to use his valuable time to hand out his delicious products and not ask for $. Mister and I both got the brownie with chantily icing. It was a fair enough piece and the chantilly was topped upon ordering. I didn't take a photo thinking it probably wasn't going to be much to share about, boy was I so wrong. We ate our brownie further down the shopping center, after I took the first bite, I went back to notice the name of the business because I intend to shop there next time around! The brownie was moist, and the chantilly was not too sweet, it was a perfect and yummy combination. Mister enjoyed the iced coffee too. THANK YOU FOR THE FREE STUFF!

I could honestly eat it on everything! The lilikoi buttered biscuits are delicious, beautifully toasted, and buttery. My only wish is that I could get a massive extra side of that lilikoi butter to absolutely lather all over them because the flavor is addictive! Fun fact: The waitress told me on my last visit that the owners actually live on the Big Island and they have a location in Keaau too! Love that they're spreading the aloha. Massive portions, amazing flavors, and awesome service!

I miss coming to this spot with family to get plate lunches when we lived down in waianae, but since we haven't been to this location in a while we finally made the attempt yesterday from Kapolei to come down to Maili. I'm happy we did because the pastele plates we got was 1/1 mild and spicy with Mac salad and 2 scoop rice. The meat was tender and savory giving you the correct amount of flavor with seasoning and balance. You can tell they put the heart into making these. Although there are many variations to Pasteles this one is my favorite. The Mac salad is good also better than other places I've tried. The opihi I also brought and added my own sauce to it with and enjoyed it with their Hawaiian Style (Inamona) poke on the side. My only recommendation is the panadeja was more of a pulled pork look and of course that's what it is but I was looking for more of a stew consistency of which it was not. Now don't get me wrong the flavor wasn't lacking and was juicy but it was just shredded pork inside and you can see couple of black olives that's it. I will still purchase them but a slight upgrade would be nice to those, just my opinion.

Its a two story green building right off the highway. There is 6 or 7 parking spaces in front and a few on thr side of thebuilding. The entrance is in the middle of the building. The staff is super cool. Cory (pic) was super friendly and welcomed us with a smile The insides is of an old school general store setting but the main seller here is their food. A lot of varietyon the menu (pic) we went with the chicken wings (good) lau lau (ok) shoyu chicken (phenomenal) I am sure they sell out for sure!!! and the empanadas(soo good!!) They probably sell out of this too. Portions was fair and prices reasonable. (Nothing is cheap anymore) Its a place I always drove by and wondered about but now next time I am in the area will be stopping by here for sure!! A hidden jem in plain sight

After speaking with the employee, I ended up getting the pineapple and the passion fruit tea.

My husband got the sweet sticky rice and mango. The mango was ripe and sweet and the rice added a good balance. Being a Lao girl, I am always trying to find my comfort foods close to home and I can definitely see this location becoming that for me. The owners were kind and made comforting conversation. This location is half cafe, half convenience store. The entrance is on the inside of the mall, opposite of the parking lot. The menu is on the glass, and it provides the name, price and picture of the food item. This location is more of a pickup/ takeout as there is only 1-2 tall tables in the store.

Under the Lego wall is a row of booths. Don't forget to browse all the isles of goodies. The shakes are delicious and a couple of my kids get extra boba, which is no problem. I can't recall if it's extra but maybe $1.50? We enjoy this location in the Wai'anae mall.
