"Helena’s, which opened in 1946 and won a James Beard America’s Classics award in 2000, continues to draw locals and visitors for its traditional Hawaiian food. Menu D offers the greatest variety, with kālua pig, lomi salmon, pipikaula (the version at Helena’s consists of short ribs dried and then fried), and squid lū‘au (a stew of octopus and taro leaves in coconut milk), along with poi or rice." - Martha Cheng
