This is a spectacular bakery for both savory and sweet tooth fans. We came here specifically because our dog's name is Kiwi and how could we not try it out? This is not a sit and eat kind of place but a grab and go kind of place. You are making the drive not for the ambiance but for the food itself. We got a mix of mince and cheese pies and chicken curry pies, as well as their sausage wrapped in pastry dough. I can easily give the chicken and curry pie 5 stars, but the mince and cheese was even better. Both very savory, and the crust was still flakey and the pies were still warm by the time I got to our rental after walking 15 minutes in the rain. This is definitely a repeat worthy place. We got cream puffs for desert and they didn't disappoint either. Flakey dough, chocolate drizzle on top. Service was very fast as we were the only ones there but as we were leaving a family of 3 showed up. I'm not sure how much the tiny shop makes in a day, but several of the meat pies were sold out. We arrived around 12:30 on a Thursday. read more

Aloha, I just had the Butter Chicken pie. It was very tasty. Do they cook the ingredients from scratch? Or is this a purchased ingredient? The butter chicken tasted like the Sukki's I get. Nothing wrong if so, however I thought these were very homemade & priced as if scratch kitchen homemade. Anyone know? Please advise. I also bought the curry and will have that tomorrow. read more

Just a Braddah giving an honest review. Let me start by saying it was DELICIOUS. TRULY DELICIOUS. However, even with inflation I can't see how we are at ELEVEN DOLLARS AND FIFTY CENTS FOR ONE (CHEESE BURGA SIZE) PIE. Bugga never even come with fries or one drink . If it was even half that price im buying a dozen and giving this place 5 stars all day long. But 11.50 for a minced (hamburger) and cheese was sticker shock. EVEN IN NEW ZEALAND THE PIES AVERAGE $7 WHICH IS LIKE $4 HERE. Just saying. read more

FINALLY! I deliver to Laie, Hauula-side, once in a while and have seen the "Meat Pies" sign but when I come back, they're either sold out or closed! Yesterday, I finally got some pies! I chose the sausage roll, beef and onion and chicken. The sausage roll was so good! A truly tasty, fat sausage, wrapped in flaky pastry. Ate half of it on the way back to town. I made myself stop when I noticed all the flaky crumbs on me and the car! Now, I gotta vacuum the car... Ate the other two and the other half of the sausage roll, at home for dinner. The beef and onion was amazing, the chicken was good too but it had a tomato base and I was expecting a cream base. But it was just as delicious, just the same. So looking forward to my next drive out there. read more

food curry meat pie- i'm personally not a meat pie fan but i could appreciate the flavor and curry was really brought out it had a nice crunch on the outside and a great soft thin bread layer on the inside vaifala- was exactly what i was craving for , a pineapple drink with a tinge of like a coconut milk or some kind of milk to balance the drink , it had some pineapple chunks , i thoroughly enjoyed this drink and finished it almost instantly service amazing super nice employee , potentially the owner food came out super quick ambiance no real ambiance since it's a food truck but theres good vibes emitting from the truck located in the polynesian culture center when i tried it prices quite pricey i spent $18 here for a med size drink and a hand sized meat pie so be prepared to put some money down if you come read more

Nice selecting of baked goods and assorted Kiwi pies. Everything looked delicious. We had the bakery assortment of brownies and 2 cheese vanishes. Donuts are only $2.50! Liliikoi tarts, glazed and chocolate donuts, oh my! It's definitely worth a stop. It's a green building right on Kam Hwy. Wai is the bakery and she the real deal. read more

Try this place - your tummy will be very happy! We had the beef pie with gravy and cheddar sauce, the strawberry trifle and the pineapple drink. I'm still not honking about the meat pie, 3 days later. The crust was perfection - so buttery and flaky. I'd the crust alone and be happy, the savory filling was so delicious and satisfying. The trifle was so good. Refreshing and rich at the same time. It tastes like a strawberry shortcake with custard, topped by whipped cream and fresh strawberries. Portions are generous enough that my daughter and I split the pie and trifle and it filled us up, even with my husband "stealing" half of the trifle. He doesn't usually enjoy multi-layer desserts! We can't wait to go back to try the other flavors of pies. Service was great - it was a single young man working the kitchen and he was favor personable. Prices were very reasonable; I think it was under $30 even with a tip. Highly recommend a trip to the Kiwi Korner as son as you can! read more

It's a food truck so I can't give it 5 stars, but the food was quite good. We walked over from our hotel to the Marketplace which has a sit-down restaurant and several food trucks. The reviews for Kiwi Korner were good so we decided to try it for dinner on a Saturday. The wife and I had the curry chicken pot pie and it was very good. The curry was mild. It came out hot and the crust was flaky and not greasy. In August 2024 one pie cost $10. The wife was full after one but I probably could have eaten another. We also had the lemonade and it was real, not from a mix. Service was efficient and friendly. It's a food truck so you order and then find a nearby table, thus there is no ambience. I would definitely go back and try one of the meat pies, which are $11. read more

I was sadly disappointed with my experience today. We live in Waipahu,but I am from New Zealand so I was excited when my cousin told me about this place. My son and his family were camping at Kahana Bay and we were down for the day. We decided to find this store and it was pretty easy to find. We don't eat breakfast so we're pretty hungry. We bought one mince and cheese pie and because my husband told them our day's background they gave him a steak and onion pie free. The pastry was great but the pie filling had so much pepper in it that you couldn't taste the meat or cheese. It even burned my mouth and my lips were swollen and sensitive. I was able to take two bites of the mince before I had to stop eating it (my husband who has a lava mouth was happy though). I waited a while to allow my mouth some time to cool down then decided to try the steak and onion pie. It was also very peppery In fact the top pastry was even covered in pepper much like a pepper steak would be, which should have been a hint. I don't know if this is how they intended the pies to taste but we did not like them at all. We decided on two stars because they gave us the second pie free I do not think I would recommend this store in the future read more

It was just a day trip date to the north shore. We passed by a tiny mom & pop shop in Punalu'u.(I think) I know it was close to the fire station! The sign outside read "The Kiwi Corner " so,Australian food sounds exotic & fun! Tired of the 2 scoops rice plate lunch yah? Ok,so we reached Polynesian Cultural Center in La'ie. Lot's of different grinds there! It was the first day of summer & believe me...it was for sure hot AND humid! We walked around,did some window shopping & started to get hungry (our main goal was to catch some grinds of course!) We come upon a cute little food truck "The Kiwi Corner "!!!!!! The same one we passed in Punalu'u! We were so happy & willing to try something new! I can't wait to tell you all about this amazing experience!!! Meat pies! Polynesian refreshing drinks! Dessert parfaits! Yum,yummy & yummers! I wanted everything! Hungry husband ordered a meat & cheese pie,I got a chicken curry pie & a cool ginger beer! Dat hit dat spot! Hungry husband gobbled it down so quickly I barely got a small bite to taste! He took a shark sized bite of the chicken curry and didn't want to give it back! Well,that's not the end of the story my dear readers.... He went to order ANOTHER ONE! So,I asked for one more chicken curry pie! Yep!!! It was so delicious! Crunchy buttery crust, lots of filling (and not air like most places) Mine had tender cubed chicken breast,peas & carrots. You know,I inhaled that so quickly that I don't know if it had potatoes or not!!! He he he ! The meat & cheese was a ground beef & American cheese with a dark & rich brown gravy! Sumptuous! My ginger beer was very cold,over ice,maybe 24ozs or so. Not too sweet but just right! (Let's all quote Rap Replinger) It seemed strained because it was very clear,no pulp.I wanted more,especially on a humid day in Lai'e! Service was friendly & quick. She laughed at us when we wanted another order! Nice shady wooden tables with cute umbrellas kept us from sunburn and improved the ambiance especially with wonderful company! Please support small businesses like this. They put out really good food & great service! Good luck to them! read more

OMG! I almost put my foot through the floor of the car hitting the brakes when I saw the word Kiwi Pies!!!!! These are THE real deal folks, real kiwi meat pies. As good as any you will find in Aotearoa. Ordered the meat and cheese and meat and onion. The first bite took me back to our first trip to Aotearoa in 2011. Kiwi Korner also has a wonderful selection of pastries including a German Chocolate mini-cake topped with a chattily coconut cream. This is a MUST stop in Laie. Mahalo and best of luck Angie!!!! read more

I tried the chicken and vegetable pie. The pie came nice and warm in a white bag. The pastry was flaky and crispy. The filling had a good balance of potato, carrot, and chicken. The filling had the right amount of gravy/sauce. Overall a great experience with customer service and food quality was satisfactory. read more

Nestled at the very edge of the Polynesian Cultural Center parking lot is this unassuming food truck that serves the BEST MEAT PIES YOU'LL EVER HAVE. My husband and I were hungry after a long day of hikes and touristing and saw "meat pies" listed as a nearby option in the PCC pamphlet. We wandered around the dining area until we found the truck. The owner was very kind and assured us every option would be delicious. We opted to share a steak and cheese pie. That quickly turned out to be a mistake. Because we wolfed down the thing in 5 minutes and instantly regretted not getting another one. We regretted it so much we returned later that day to get another one! The steak and cheese as super juicy and cheesy on the inside, which was a nice contrast to the crispy, flaky, delicious crust. The chicken curry that we tried when we came back was so savory and flavorful - it was absolutely worth the 25 min drive to return here. We also tried the chocolate banana trifle. Oh man. I usually don't love overly sweet, chocolatey desserts but this was the perfect blend of creamy and not-too-sweet chocolate flavor. I loved the crunchy bits they add to the top to give it texture. The pineapple drink (Vaifala) was also fantastic. It is basically a creamy, heavenly pineapple drink with bits of real pineapple. So refreshing on a hot summer day. Honestly? We'll probably be back tomorrow to try the mince and cheese pie. Hands down our favorite meal in Oahu! read more

Picked up a couple of meat pies to take home for later, loved them but I should have gone earlier as many of the fillings were not available after midday. What I did try though really was enjoyable. I would also recommend this place for one of its desserts, trifle! This was just fantastic, although seemingly a little pricey was worth every penny as you can probably see in the photo. Definitely a place worth visiting even if just for the trifle dessert! read more

Food truck parked by the Polynesian Cultural Center that sells the best meat pies on Oahu. I ordered one to snack on while driving to Kualoa Ranch. Didn't start eating it until 30 minutes later.

This food truck is tucked away in the far corner of the parking lot at the PCC. We almost missed it, but we were so glad we decided to come here! We were excited to try the meat pies since it had good reviews on here. We ordered the steak and onion, the mince and cheese and the curry. We also ordered the 3 desserts and the viafala coconut drink. First off, these pies come out and they are HOT! Even after waiting 10 minutes for them to cool down they are still extremely hot, so be careful before biting into them or you will burn the roof of your mouth like I did. But they are so good!!! Each one had such great flavor. My favorites were the mince and the curry ones. The crust was nice and flaky too. We tried the trifles and they were both delicious! The chocolate one with the brownies was nice and rich. We loved it. Our favorite was the strawberry though. It was really refreshing and we would definitely order it again. The cream puff was really good too but everyone's favorite was the strawberry trifle. We also loved the coconut pineapple drink. It was really good and not too sweet, which I loved. We will definitely be coming back next time we are in Laie. read more

This is easily our favorite food truck in Hukilau Marketplace! We live in Honolulu, but whenever we are able to make our way up to Laie, we make it a priority to stop here for some food. The mince meat pie is outstanding! We've also tried their steak and onion and chicken curry pie, they're usually sold out so try to be there right when they open. Their banana trifle is a nice little way to top off our meal, a delicious piece of chocolate cake layered with pudding, whipped cream, and bits of toffee... oh man I might make the drive right now! You really won't regret snagging some food at this truck! TIPS & TRICKS: * This is right outside the PCC, which is a perfect place to be if you're spending all day there. * Free all day parking on the north side of the parking lot! read more

I finally went to the Kiwi Korner at PCC in Laie. I ordered four minced cheese pies, one chocolate banana trifle, one strawberry trifle and one Vaifala. The service was great and overall all delicious. But, the only thing I disliked to be honest was the Vaifala. It wasn't really Vaifala to me but everything else was bomb. I ate a few bites of the desserts but my guy smashed both of it ‍...Next time I'll try the giant cream puff! read more

Both locations, absolutely darling people especially at the store. I appreciate they take pride in one speciality and perfect it all the way. This homemade crust, the love for it, and the people we easily eat this 3 times a week sometimes for breakfast too. The crème puffs they used to have, I would put them in the freezer and it would turn into a perfect ice cream sandwich. I've never walked into an establishment and felt so welcomed to the point of wanting to give her a hug. read more

The meat pies are so yummy!! And the banana nut bread and cinnamon roll is to die for. Too bad ran out of breakfast meat pie.

Read about this little place in the newspaper so made a plan to head out to the North Shore to try it. I was looking forward to the authentic meat pies, but especially the giant cream puff. Apparently today the didn't get any cream puffs in? Those three selections are literally all that is on the menu other than a few drinks, so a bit disappointing. The meat pies were good. Will try again for the cream puffs another time. read more

Meat pie was out of this world . Worth the long drive . Would definitely be going back for more

As a Maori and fellow kiwi I was so excited to finally get a meat pie place! The pies are super delicious my favorite is the steak and cheese and you can't go wrong with the classic mince and cheese. They are super friendly and their trifle desert was also really good and not too sweet. I am waiting for them to have sausage rolls or even offer up some fish and chips! The only down side is the prices of the pies are really expensive. Although the pies do look small for $9.00 they are pretty filling. read more

Since we were on this side of the island we decided to stop by PCC and try their pies. I been following their IG page for a while now but never had a chance to go yet. I couldn't decide which one to try and the girl working told me their most popular pies are the mince and cheese and chicken curry so I got both for us to take home and try. Also got some vaifala. I was expecting the pies were cooled off but to my surprise it was nice and hot. Because it was fresh we wanted to take a bite just to get a first impression and Wow! It's so good! Very flaky and most of all very tasty! Their vaifala is delish, a little thicker than other places I've tried. The only thing is that it's a little more than the other places for the size they give but I would buy it again. Overall our only regret is that we should've bought more lol read more

stopped here to try their meat pies, ordered 3 of the steak and cheese meat pies. but ended up getting chicken curry for all 3 of them which was a huge bummer. didn't notice till we were already back in haleiwa otherwise we would've headed back. the crust is so flaky and buttery and has good flavor. i just wish we got what we paid for. considering steak and cheese is a few dollars more than the chicken curry. read more

With some down time on my hands at the Polynesian Cultural Center, I decided to try New Zealand meat pie since it'd probably be one of my only opportunities to do so -- I never even knew this was a part of New Zealander cuisine! The chicken curry meat pie I got was superb. I was pleasantly surprised by the perfection of the crust, as well as how hot and fresh the meat pie was!! Sometimes, food truck food can be hit or miss when it comes to freshness. I thoroughly enjoyed every bite of this filling meat pie. The curry flavor itself was a bit on the more toned down side (I assumed a curry filling that might resemble more Indian-style curry). Still, the pie was great nonetheless. I grabbed a seat to enjoy this pie nearby the food truck, where I could really savor each bite. Thanks for the small introduction to New Zealander food, Kiwi Korner :)! read more

I go to their bakery in Hauula. It's open Thursday - Saturday and I've love everything I've had there. So their Māori bread is exceptional that's a given.

A few years ago I saw a show on Netflicks called " The Casketeers ". For season 2 the owner had some kind of stomach reduction surgery. He was on a restricted diet but snuck " meat pies " every chance he could. I had never heard of that so when I found out we had a place on Oahu that served up the real deal I just had to try it. My sister took me today ( from Kaneohe ) for my B-day treat - it was better than I could even have hoped for. We bought a minced pie with cheese, a curry chicken, a chicken and vegetable and a steak and onion. Then split them all for lunch and dinner. We loved them and are thankful they are not closer to home cause we would be there every day ! If anyone knows how I can get ahold of the rest of the " The Casketeers " seasons on New Zealand TV I would love that ! Thanks for a great B-day treat ! read more
