Faithful Grinds

This place was super good. If you want real local Hawaiian food, you need to come here. It’s a small spot, mostly takeout, with only a few tables, but that honestly makes it feel more authentic. The food comes in simple white boxes, super easy and no fuss. The lady at the counter was super sweet and helped us pick what to order. She was really patient and just made the whole experience better. Food was amazing. Everything tasted super flavorful and very Hawaiian. You HAVE to get the Katsu Moco, it was definitely my favorite. Also, the portions are huge. We were a family of six and ordered five plates, but we only finished about three. If you plan to eat in, I don’t recommend any parties with more than 6 people. Overall: just a really good, local spot. I’d definitely go back if I’m back in Hawaii!

This was our first stop right after our flight and HOLY wow, it was fantastic. It’s a classic, Hawaiian establishment with no frills but incredible food. Got the chicken Katsu plate with Mac salad, and it was so fresh so flavorful, also HUGE portions, def could share a plate between two unless you are ready for a challenge and want to roll out of there.

Place super small and super busy. The lady behind the counter might seem curt but is actually really awesome. She took our phone number, set aside a table, placed our food on the table, and called us when it was ready. She did warn us it was going to take 40 min, but ended up only waiting about about 23 minutes for our food; totally worth it. My Hawaiian Plate was amazing and filling. Left the restaurant in a food coma. Faithful Grindz is the definition of restaurants that I would consider "hole in the wall." Local, authentic, delicious. Mahalo.
