Highway Inn at Kakaako - Honolulu

We went to this place a few times and decided to give him an attempt before leaving the island. That was the best meal all week. Traditional Hawaiian food that you feel like you are at home! My husband had the smoked moko and I had the mixed plate with short ribs, chicken and fish. We share the beef stew. Everything was delicious!

Absolutely GO! The best authentic Hawaiian food we had on our whole holiday - the pig Chinese AMAZING. Certainly rent bikes and see all street art

The smoked moco and the Hawaiian stew were absolutely delicious. The Poke scarf was beautiful and fresh. Very large portions.. The small part was a perfect size for a meal.which is regular when you're super hungry or want remnants. My friends also loved their plantation tea (Pieapple juice and ice tea combo). Very recommended and definitely come every time I visit for legit tasty Hawaiian food!!

Wow the food here is really a different experience. Definitely a great spot to try if you want to try traditional island dishes in one go. There’s a couple of issues here though. The greeter was pretty rude, she really didn’t serve us and seemed like she was ready to go home. Our waiter started out nice but they became pretty rude as well. We mentioned that we were in a bit of a time crunch and he said since most of the dishes on the a-la-carte menu were pre-made (with the exception of the beef jerky) they can come out within seconds, and still recommend the jerky as a must try. We ordered. They jerky ended up coming out in about 5 minutes, the tasting combo took over 10! When inquiring about the tasting dish, the same server said that there were “others in the restaurant to serve”. I understand but how did a few seconds turn into 10 minutes? To top it, I found aluminum in the chicken lau lau that was part of the tasting combo! Anyhow, I don’t want to discount too many stars from this spot since I think that this really is great island food that everyone needs to try. Definitely a shame that service lacked here.

Best Hawaiian food I ever had. Loved the Loco Moco and kālua pig. Would recommend getting the tasting plate to try everything.
