Had the Hawaiian combo plate. Laulau and kalua pig were good as poi and lomilomi was also. A little pricey, fast and friendly service.I came back for lunch with a friend. Ordered the laundry laundry plate w/poi and a squid luau. Good size lau lau and poi. Pipi kaula was delicious and sweet potato was tasty. I enjoyed the squid luau. My friend lives the tripe stew. Young Fish Market is still on of the best places for Hawaiian food. My dad used to go to the original one on liliha Street. Go check them out.

A hole-in-the-wall where locals come as families for traditional foods like poi (bitter taro puree -- an acquired taste) and laulau (proteins wrapped in thick layer of taro leaves). Definitively not touristy. It's a way to experience authentic foods. The laulau contained massive chunks of fat and the place could do with some cleaning, from stains to torn seats. This location is in a light industrial area so it's not great to walk to from the city. Drive and park right in front.

Their chicken long rice was a disappointment because the broth and chicken did not have a good flavor. The haupia has very little coconut flavor and tasted more like gelatin.

For realz, my favorite Hawaiian food place. It's always between the big Al's bento or the beef stew plate. Either way, no can go wrong. If you never ate here.... you missing out.
A down to earth local lunch place. What the food lacks in presentation it more than makes up for by being delicious and hearty. The beef stew is great, and Big Al's "small" bento is packed with meat and veg.
Got a spicy ahi poké bowl. The ahi was okay, very small portion compared to other places around and extremely overpriced.

Laulau is the best here! Poi was fresh and poke was ono!!! Was not impressed with kalua pig. Go early because they run out of stuff by dinner time. They even ran outta rice when we went for dinner. There is seating, but booths are looking kinda rough.

Older and a little run down this place is the real deal! Great Kalua Pork! Service is moms and pops but friendly and what it should be for the atmosphere. Menu selections and food all on point ! This place is not fine dining this is Hawaiian Soul Food at its best.

DELICIOUS LOMI SALMON! Can say that they have best lau lau and beef stew. Service was fair, staff always seems angry about working here and they take it out on customers. Some don't speak English, but overall a great experience! Always go back when in town.Parking: Multiple spots for parking with multiple businesses within premises.
Food was superb. Youngs never fails

Best Kalua pork I’ve ever had. But then again I’ve only had it at home in So Cal. So glad I found this local place during my stay in Waikiki.
