A little secluded and the directions don't get you there too well, but you can park right at the top of the hill and they have a variety of Hawaiian dishes for a very reasonable price with very polite staff. Due to covid, we weren't able to dine in so we just took the food across the street to the beach and had a nice little picnic with the beach all to ourselves.
Delicious plate lunch and incredible view!! Highly recommend!!
The view, food and service were all amazing!!!
Simple reasonably priced fare that was so delicious! I had the vegetable omelette served with greens and rice with an added side of tasty Portuguese Sausage and my husband had the Punke- (eggs, meat choice and rice). The views of the covered balcony were worth the visit!
Awesome little gem. It is a cafeteria in all sense of the word. You order at a window, but the food and the view make it great. Tough to find. To get there, drive through the medical center parking lot until you see the sign for the exit. Instead of going left to the exit, head up the hill to your right. Go past the fitness center. Its the next parking lot.
This place is a little hard to find, but once you do you are in for a treat! Amazing views, affordable prices, and great tasty Hawaiian food await. I got the Kalua Loco which was heavenly. This is not a typical tourist spot, and its better off for it!
My wife and I stumbled across this gem, at a framers market. But we were told that they do have a store front to visit. The food was seasoned well and there was a nice size portion of food to enjoy. We will be back when we are on that side of town.
What an amazing gem! The first place we've eaten on O'ahu that didn't have an hour+ wait. Tucked away on the hillside, some hospital staff helped us find it. The melted crab sandwich was so tasty we forgot to photograph! The portions are more than enough and the prices reminded us of our childhood: breakfast plate for $7! The serene views from the surrounding gardens and sea made for the perfect setting. Staff were knowledgeable, accommodating, and friendly. If you're a local looking to try somewhere new or a tourist exploring the coast, then stop by, fill up your belly and feast your eyes on the view!
This place is a gem! I love it. I had a lunch date here and wish I dined here before that definitely will be back! After breakfast or lunch take a stroll through waianae compa garden right behind the parking lot. Amazing it's so lush with the waianae weather they must have a good water supply.
Plate lunch of Huli Huli chicken which was solidly good but nothing blow your mind. People were all nice. Mainly people who work at the health clinic pick up food but it’s a pretty spot to catch a view some good food and talk with nice people. It’s a big room with an open air balcony looking out over the water with big windows looking up at the massive mountain behind it.
