So I’m here because I’ve been searching Oahu for Ono kine Pukehi ribs or meat. Which even Hawaiian places find it hard to show restraint with the ingredients of Pulehu meat. It’s actually simple Pulehu meat is Steak or ribs and Hawaiian salt. Simple let the grill do the work. Then PAU. (Finish) But over here on Oahu these Hawaiian restaurants/places can’t seem to see the simplicity of Pulehu meat? These places don’t know the traditions of Hawaiian Pulehu meat. They start adding garlic powder? Add a shoyu sugar marinade? Even Helena’s marinade their So called pulehu meat! Ask em they broke tradition. But this place! KAU KAU GRILL understand how to keep it simple. Just Hawaiian salt at the grill. Even pepper is over doing it. Maybe it’s the Hawaiian salt? Maybe it’s a got grill? Or maybe the

I visited Hawaii from Japan on vacation, and this place was totally worth the trip from Waikiki! The ribs were amazingly tender, and the sauce was absolutely delicious. Highly recommended if you love good barbecue!

Really lovely service, great food, can’t go wrong. Got there around 11:30am on a Wednesday and certain items were already sold out - this spot is frequented by locals working in the area and very busy.

Best food I had out there, not going to lie I ordered this plate for the garlic shrimp and short ribs. I was amazed by the BBQ I live in Texas and was not expecting this hands done some of the best BBQ I ever had and poke I believe it was called hurricane had some spice. The service was amazing during my time out in Hawaii never ran into someone with a horrible attitude and this place was perfect. Kau Kau Grill is a must try.
