If you want to experience traditional Hawaiian food: go there. Very warm welcome and friendly people. Loved our stay and the experience. Mahalo again!
An ideal place to try typical Hawaiian food. Familiar and very attentive. They recommended Da Big Kahuna and Squid Luau, they were amazing.

Almost every one there appeared to be locals.It’s an old school Hawaiian diner with local grub.Not a touristy place but that is part of their charm!Small so not ideal for large groups.Food is what you would get at grandma’s house - nothing fancy but solid and filling.

This is very much a community diner. I think I was the only person that the waitress didn't know personally. In spite of that I was made to feel very welcome, and the chef even brought me some hot sauce he had made. A wonderful experience, and I look forward to going back.

This was a favorite part of our trip to Hawaii. We wanted real Hawaiian food and you can get it here! We liked most of the food we tried. Jerry the cook was an excellent guide on what we should eat and told us about each item in detail. We really appreciated it! Lorraine the owner was so sweet as well. Be sure to make this part of your visit to Honolulu.

My friends and I really wanted to try local, traditional Hawaiian food. While we understand it might be hard to do, we did feel that this restaurant is closest to traditional Hawaiian food.Food was tasty and healthy. The desert was simple but excellent. It was exactly what we were looking for. An experience that you cannot find in Waikiki.I would encourage foodie visiting Honolulu to come here to try this shop's food. Waikiki food is too tailored for the visitor's taste bud.
We're Hawaii regulars and Haili's is a must visit every time. Amazing Kalua pork. Amazing everything and super nice staff.

One of the last real Hawaiian food restaurants around. The food is ono. The kind of place that the cook comes out to talk story with whoever ordered ake. Wasn't me! I ordered da Big Kahuna plate and went to town. Side order kulolo. I suffered a royal kanak attack! Was worth the money. Hawaiian food isn't cheap nowadays. The people who make it are still just as lovely.

I stumbled upon this restaurant while walking around, and the ambiance of the place drew me in. One can pick out a local family run restaurant by its lack of corporate thrills. Everything had a personal touch. The service was fantastic, they gave great recommendations and took great interest in my food experience. They wanted to share their cultural food. After a full explanation of each food on my plate, “Da big cahuna” They checked in on my numerous times to see what I thought of their food. 6/5 stars
