"Served with Hawaii's familiar aloha, the Puka Puka Kitchen cooks up delicious Island food including ahi don, garlic curry, and chicken katsu. It seems like there is a Greek and Indian influence to the Hawaiian flavors which makes Puka Puka unique and worth a visit!"

Tiny shop, big taste, HUGE serving size! I stopped by while on walkabout, ordered chicken katsu... expecting a basic plate lunch. I was SURPRISED. The serving size was huge, with a salad and ?garlic? rice. Saffron? So much food. Either share a plate, expect take home, or ask for a small serving. Service was very aloha friendly. Very little seating, expect to do takeout for a park, hotel, etc, or if you are lucky, a seat. It looked popular with both locals and tourists. Very tasty!

Go! Service was great. Food is great! Prices very reasonable. Special $9 Veggie curry, nice variety of veg & flavor over rice Special $23 Miso mahi over garlic rice and side salad. It was SO ONO!! They really do a great job, we will be back!

Food is really great and reasonably priced. Not a lot of room for dining but great to just pick up. It is close to a lot of little shops so good to stop in for a quick bite.

They need some help with the service. That lunch took way too long, we had to repeat our order many times, it took forever to take order, then for over half an hour we didn't hear anything, they were still confused about our order.

The food here is great. The service is great. There's only 3 tables so you're probably better off getting takeout. The rice here stole the show. The falafel pita was pretty good though difficult to eat. They were out of a few items as well. The rice and service keep this place at 5 🌟

Fish, lamb, and salad are all locally sourced. They make their own yogurt for their marinade! Delicious! Highly recommend the sautéed local caught fish with salad and sautéed local lamb with garlic rice.
