One of the best spots on the island. We ordered about 16 steamed manapua (charsiu, honey garlic chicken, spicy pork, spinach mozzarella) and we ordered some pork steamed and fried shui mai, which were all excellent. This business is family owned and operated, and the owners even gave us free fried manapua to try, which were delicious. One big thing is that the owners will close down their plate lunch service around 3pm to give some of the homeless some free food. These people deserve a lot more attention.

This is hands down the best pork hash and manapuas on the island. I was born and raised in Waipahu. Paying a visit back to my stomping grounds since being away for over 10 years (hubby is stationed in SD). So of course, I had to show the kids my childhood neighborhood, the beautiful island of Oahu and of course expose them to the amazing food. First stop of island food was Honolulu Kitchen. We ordered a dozen warm pork hash w/spicy mustard dipping sauce and manapuas. Talk about a "welcome back to the island" greeting. Each savory bite was flavorful and delicious. The food wasn't just amazing. The service is very Ohana. Uncle Steve, thank you so much for not only welcoming me home with good food but for reminding me of how amazing the HI communities are. Your staff welcomes everyone who walks through the door with open arms and you treated me and my kids like family. Thank you, uncle Steve!

This place is a must-try! Mom and pop owned small local business and the service is top tier. We visit it every time we are on this side of the island and the owners remember us every single time! The food has never disappointed. At 3pm they feed the homeless population around this area- we have to support businesses that support our community! Mahalo and much love (try the sweet and savory manapua buns-holy smokes).

Amazing food with generous and helpful staff. Got the deep fried Charsiu and spicy pork and it was great! 10/10 definitely will go again

Uncle Steve is a good man who exhibited aloha spirit. A great representative of Hawaii. And his fried manapua is delicious! We came in for a snack. We had come from North Shore and had already eaten at Ted's Bakery. I told him we had been here a week and were going back to California tomorrow. He generously gifted us some pork hash and Kona coffee. I cannot recommend this place or Uncle Steve enough. Five enthusiastic stars!!!!!!

Not sure, how many times I contact the owner with catering orders overseas but most definitely he gives it all every time I reach out to him He also personally delivers my orders to the event and party to its correct location. Truly thankful for generosity, thoughtful to make sure his customers are totally satisfied. Everyone enjoys the deep fried Manapua and most importantly they all loved the foods I had order. Everyone ate some but yet, there's more than enough for later status Will definitely reach out to Uncle Steve for more yummy foodies

Super helpful staff! Went to grab our flooring guys some lunch today. Honolulu Kitchen was the pick and I'm so glad I asked them what they wanted because I would've never seen the size of a mini plate (I don't ever get once choice minis lol). Their pick: 3x minis Half fried rice, half chow mein, roast pork w/gravy Holy moly! This plate was loaded and it looked and smelt amazing. At 11am, the hot line was just beginning to get stocked with all the 1-3 choice plate offerings. What the guys wanted wasn't ready yet, but the staff was eager to get it prepared to send me off on my way. Very much appreciated! Thanks Honolulu Kitchen!

This place is awesome to grab some manapua for breakfast. Fair warning, be prepared for Hawaii time here, but it was worth it. We arrived a little before Honolulu Kitchen opened (at least based on what Google said the hours were). Even then, it was really another 10-15 minutes before they actually opened and started taking orders from the queue that was already forming. You can tell from the people in the queue that this is a popular local spot. For our breakfast we got an assortment of sweet and savory manapua, mostly all steamed because that was faster than the fried one. If you have time, definitely try them fried too. Each one has a symbol marking on it, so make sure to snap a photo of the symbol key displayed by the register so you know what's what. My favorites were definitely the BBQ pork and the ube flavors!

I remember finding out about this place on instagram when someone tagged them in Marvel manapuas. Yeah, I know right? What is a marvel manapua you may ask? Basically a manapua with marvel characters drawn on them! I don't know what they use or what they do but I recommend you go and see them for yourself! Now, I don't know if they're still doing that because that was 2020, but ever since I found them and their assortment of manapua flavors I've been hooked! This is my go-to westside grinds place for something small, simple, great price, and captures the essence of Hawaii. If you are from the mainland, or even local this place will not disappoint you. You come for the food, but come back for the people and feeling of Aloha. If you allow me, I wanna spend some time talking about the people behind the counter. Every time I walk through the door I feel like I'm walking in to a family kitchen and they treat their customers like family. They actually used to take the leftover food and give it to the homeless, but since the beginning of 2023, I believe, due to the negative atmosphere they had to stop. But while I was there a 16 year old walked in and uncle asked if he ate, I guess uncle already knows his story, and gave him a bento and one for his sibling or mom too. That right there, shows the character, aloha, and love that goes in to the food and that's probably why it tastes so great! My husband knows if this place ever closes, I will devastated and we will be spending a lot of money till the last day attempting to keep this place open. So please, support this small business, because I truly believe THEY DESERVE to be open! I hope and pray this place withstands the generations and you visit it too and see why. Don't forget to always #supportlocalHI

I went here 7 years ago and I loved it. I STILL DO. They give you such massive portions for a deal. The food is phenomenal. The steamed and fried manapuas, sweet or savory, are to die for. The staff are the sweetest humans I've ever met! They're honest and up front and very modest about their food. It's delicious - no lie. They let you try everything. I can't say enough good things. The atmosphere may put you off at first, being that it's in a very low key shopping center, but it's well worth it if you give them a chance!
