Looking for Hawaiian food in Kāneʻohe on a Tuesday? Our Windward Mall location is open from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM, even though our original Waiāhole Valley restaurant is closed that day.
At Waiāhole Poi Factory, we serve traditional Hawaiian food at two locations on Windward Oʻahu. Each location has its own hours, so knowing where to go can make your lunch or dinner plans easier. Whether you're picking up food after work, planning lunch with family, or visiting Kāneʻohe, here's what to know before stopping by.
Our Windward Mall Location Is Open on Tuesdays
Our original restaurant in Waiāhole Valley operates Wednesday through Monday. On Tuesdays, you can still visit us at Windward Mall, inside the food court at 46-056 Kamehameha Highway, Kāneʻohe, HI 96744.
The Windward Mall location is open on Tuesdays from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM. You can reach our team at (808) 235-7685 if you have questions about the menu or your visit.
Our Windward Mall counter is an option for customers who want Hawaiian food without traveling to the original location. You can also check our current restaurant hours and location information before heading over.
What Kind of Hawaiian Food Can You Enjoy?
Our food reflects the traditional Hawaiian dishes that are central to our restaurant. If you're unfamiliar with Hawaiian food, our restaurant menu is a useful place to understand the dishes and plate formats we offer.
Some of the foods featured on our menu include Kalua Pig, Laulau, Chicken Long Rice, and Beef Luau. Each offers a different combination of ingredients and flavors, giving customers several ways to enjoy traditional Hawaiian cooking.
Kalua Pig
Our Kalua Pig is prepared by slow-cooking and smoking pork for twelve hours before shredding and seasoning it with Hawaiian sea salt. It's a savory dish that pairs naturally with rice or poi.
Laulau
Our Laulau contains pork and a touch of butterfish, wrapped and steamed in taro leaves. The taro leaves are an important part of the dish, contributing to its distinctive flavor and texture.
Chicken Long Rice
Chicken Long Rice combines chicken and rice noodles in a ginger and chicken broth. For customers who prefer a broth-based dish, it's another traditional favorite to consider.
Beef Luau
Our Beef Luau combines braised beef chuck, onions, ginger, and taro leaves cooked until tender. The taro leaves give the stew its characteristic texture, while the beef and seasonings provide a savory flavor.
Menu selections can differ between our two locations. Before visiting Windward Mall for a particular dish, call (808) 235-7685 to confirm it's offered and available.
Planning a Quick Lunch or Dinner in Kāneʻohe
Our Windward Mall location gives you another way to fit Hawaiian food into your day. You don't have to plan a trip into Waiāhole Valley to visit us. If you're already in Kāneʻohe for work, shopping, or errands, the mall counter may be a more practical stop.
Because our Windward Mall location stays open later than the original restaurant on several days of the week, it can also fit an evening meal. Here's our operating schedule:
For a particular entrée or specialty, calling ahead is helpful because not every product is offered at both locations.
Want to Order Hawaiian Food for Pickup?
We also offer online ordering for pickup through our website. When ordering, make sure you select Windward Mall rather than our Waiāhole Valley location. This matters especially on Tuesdays, when the original restaurant is closed.
Our website provides access to location-specific ordering options. Visit our online ordering and location page to select the correct restaurant and check its available items. Before submitting an order, review the pickup location and available pickup times.
What About Hand-Pounded Poi?
If you're specifically visiting us for hand-pounded poi or paʻiʻai, you'll need to plan a different day and location. Our hand-pounded poi is made using the traditional board and stone at our original Waiāhole Valley location on Wednesdays and Sundays. Hand-pounded poi and paʻiʻai are not sold at Windward Mall.
These specialty items are produced in limited batches, and the pounding schedule depends on the kalo harvest, weather, and staffing. We recommend calling to confirm the schedule and reserve your order before making the trip.
You can learn more about the schedule and availability on our official website. For hand-pounded poi inquiries, contact our Waiāhole location at (808) 239-2222.
When Should You Visit Our Original Waiāhole Location Instead?
Our original restaurant is located at 48-140 Kamehameha Highway, Kāneʻohe, HI 96744, where you'll also find our WPF Country Store. The original location is open Wednesday through Monday, from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and closed on Tuesdays.
Choose this location if your plans include buying hand-pounded poi or paʻiʻai on a scheduled pounding day, visiting the Country Store, or spending time at the original restaurant. If Tuesday is your available day, visit our Windward Mall location instead.
Hawaiian Food in Kāneʻohe, Even on Tuesday
Our two locations make it possible to enjoy Hawaiian food on different days of the week. If you're planning a Tuesday lunch or dinner, come see us at Windward Mall, where we're open from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM.
You can review our Hawaiian food menu, check our location information, or call (808) 235-7685 about the Windward Mall menu before visiting. We look forward to serving you. Mahalo for your support.
