"A long-running, storied local institution serving soulful, traditional Hawaiian staples: pipikaula (jerky-like beef you rip from the bone), lomi lomi salmon (cured cubes in a pico-like salad), squid luau (taro leaves stewed with coconut milk and calamari), and notably sour, sticky poi that puckers and acts like an unusual palate cleanser. The food reads as slow, authentic Hawaiian cooking—comforting, deeply rooted, and worth prioritizing on a Honolulu trip." - ByThe Bon Appétit Staff
