Hawaiian Drive Inn

All I can say as a native Hawaiian this place offers authentic local kine Hawaiian food. It is rare to find a Hawaiian restaurant that offers lau lau. I got #19 Lau lau, kalua pork n cabbage w/ mac salad n steamed rice. Everything was so ono! The authentic flavor and the way everything was cooked transported me back home to the island of Oahu, cooking a feast w/ my ohana on a special day. Definitely would like to see huli huli chicken, chicken longrice, and lomilomi salmon on the menu added as options to order. I did get a guava, mango, and lilokoi (passionfruit) offering the taste of the islands fruits. The smoothie was so ono and was my first impression of the restaurant before my food order was ready. The portion of food is well worth the price. It's actually a breath of fresh air to get what you pay for. Mahalo to the Hawaiian Drive Inn staff and management. Next time I come visit please have the haupia and malasadas. Mahalo plenty 🌺🤙🏼

We got a seafood and bbq chicken combo to share among two people. It was a filling and satisfying dinner for both of us, however, the seafood pieces seemed to have more breading than meat on them. Just beware that the interior of the restaurant is less put together than a neglected fast food restaurant, and the place seems to be more intended for to go orders. 5 stars for the quantity and satisfying nature of the food.

First time here. We ordered a seafood combo with bbq chicken, chicken katsu mini, and a spam musubi. It was a lot of food! The katsu was crispy and tender inside. Most places overcook it so the chicken inside dries out. The fried shrimp and fish were also well prepared. The bbq chicken had a light garlic, ginger flavor which we liked too. I think we could've just split the seafood combo because it was a big portion. I saw someone eating short ribs and it looked good. I'll try that next time. I would eat here again!
