Aiea Jerk Pit by Irie Jerk Hawaii

We had such an amazing experience with this restaurant during our trip to Hawaii. My husband had been talking about wanting to try them ever since we arrived from Minnesota, but because they’re located on a marine base, we unfortunately couldn’t get access before leaving the island. Instead of just turning us away, their team went completely above and beyond to make sure we were still taken care of. They coordinated everything for us, stayed in communication the entire time, and were so kind and understanding about the confusion with getting on base. They even personally brought the food out to us at the entrance of the base so we wouldn’t miss out before flying home. That level of care and effort is so rare these days. On top of that, they added a few little surprises for us, which meant so much and truly made our day. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and want people to feel appreciated. The kindness and hospitality they showed us is something we’ll never forget. Hopefully one day we can come back and actually dine in person, because businesses like this deserve all the support. Mahalo again for making our trip so special and memorable!

I’ve been going to Irie Jerk for over a year. The service has always been outstanding, which compliments the amazing food. My personal favorite is the pork belly, cabbage and plantains. The pork belly is always tender and flavorful! A must have if you go. There are other delicious courses to choose from ranging from jerk chicken and oxtails. 2 thumbs up from me.

This was my first time eating Jamaican food and honestly it didn’t quite meet my expectations. I had the chicken curry with coconut rice and a cheese cake. The rice was great however the chicken curry wasn’t what i had hoped, it was good but wasnt so great. I really cant say much about it since idk what authentic Jamaican food is supposed to taste like. Also, though cheese cake isnt Jamaican, it was one of the best cheesecakes Ive had so far. The staff were very friendly and the atmosphere in the restaurant was great as well. But will come back to try some ox tail though. Hopefully its good as people say it is.
