Waited well over an hour for food. No sense of order in how food went out. I was told they had to make more fried chicken but many orders before made it out with fried chicken which you can clearly see thru the window. The food which was warm at best did taste good. Unfortunately, I will never know how it tasted when fresh. Be prepared to wait a long time for food orders.
If you like turnovers but hate the flaky croissant-like wrapping bakers typically, you'll love the turnovers here. I got both Apple and Okinawan and they were both delicious! They look like an oversized empanada, which in my opinion now makes for a better turnover. I also got a super cheap bacon egg sandwich and it was fantastic for the price point. Highly recommend both!
Leeward drive in has become my favorite drive on Oahu. Definitely local and the value is great. 2 item plate was ~$20. The plate comes with a scoops of rice, Mac salad, saimin noodles. Ordered the plate with meat Jim and mochiko chicken. Portion was huge and everything was delicious. 100% local spot and 100% worth stopping in. 10/10 would recommend. Order for pick up via DoorDash and it was ready within 20 minutes. Came in on a Monday night around 7pm.
Amazing food! Didn't know what to get at first, but ended up getting their noodles and was very delicious. Will definitely come here again to try more of their menu.
Went today 1/27. I ordered bbq chicken plate and special fried noodles with bean sprouts and side Teri beef. This is what my fried noodles look like after removing the Teri beef on top. My coworker and I agreed that the noodles were tasteless and don’t taste like the original recipe. Teri beef was ok but the Bbq chicken was very tasty. A bunch of comments saying that the fried noodles are the original and classic recipe but I disagree.
