Reviews for Sam's Kitchen in Honolulu, HI
A hidden gem I found on my last day! The Ahi poke was very fresh and delicious I highly recommend trying. The portion was very... generous and the shrimps were super delicious and fresh as well. I wish I had more time in Hawaii because I would havedefinitely gone here more than once if I had discord it sooner! Must try place for sure and will definitely return here when Icome back. Read more
Mahalo i? 'oe !! Especially for the area and value for money, this hidden gem joint is simply the best shrimp I tasted around... the Waikiki strip area, period. This mom and pop style popup serves up some dope and super yummy grub, fantastic plentiful freshportions of jumbo shrimp with an array of awesome slow cooked garlic and Pineapple oil marinades! The locals hype is real andworth it, trust me. Staff are great, very nice people and very talented at whipping up incredible food at lightning speed. Greatvibe, environment and place to relax and chow down on some tasty grub in a cool, laid back and no fuss atmosphere. Avoid payingthe same price or more for less tasty and or loved good food and make the smart choice to eat here. Support local businesses! Read more
The food here was so full of flavor. I got the spicy garlic chicken and it was so delicious. Everything is made to order so your... food comes out hot. The cashier we placed our order with was friendly and also answered any questions we had. After placing ourorder the food was ready within 10 minutes. The seating area is a covered patio decorated with tons of plants, paintings andsurf boards. Read more
Hole in the wall sidewalk joint with good food. Love the street ambience and the older guy that hustles business out front. A... little different way of ordering. You order the protein (shrimp, chicken, beef) and then the sides. Then choose the saucethey put over the top. Portions are good. We liked it and would make this a stop if we come back to Honolulu some day. Read more
The food was great and came out fast. The staff is very pleasant! the shrimp was cooked good and they have a few flavors. The... potato Mac salad is bomb! But my absolute favorite is the guava juice! Definitely get the guava juice! Read more
This place is quite the hidden gem, with a delicious menu and generous portion of food. My husband had the Garlic Shrimp plate... and I had the Aloha Poke?we inhaled both so quick. We really wanted to eat here one last time before we left, but the businesshours do not match up with what Google stated =[ When I am back in Waikiki; I will definitely be revisiting Sam?s Kitchenagain.

Really popular food stand in the heart of Waikiki. This place was so good I came back for some more garlic shrimp and their NY... sirloin. You can customize your box to have a salad, rice or macaroni salad. The shrimp and sirloin were seasoned perfectly withplenty of garlic. Packed with plenty of flavor the steak was cooked perfectly and reminded me of Vietnamese shaky beef. Valuewise you get a lot of food. They stuff each box with so much of the entree and sides. Staff here is really friendly as well.Even late into the evening our food came out really quickly. They have seating in the back and front with cool graffiti on thewalls. I'll definitely be back to try their fresh tuna dishes. Read more
These shrimps don't play-- also the Mac salad has potato in it-- nice innovation, Sam. Even the little green salad was nicely... dressed. The rice is dense kind of like sticky rice, which I prefer. When I was a vegan I used to smash rice like that down intoa chewy slab and it was the closest thing I had to steak. Last time I was here I had the dry curry shrimp, which were actuallymy favorite-- but it looks like they put that on the weekly special menu only-- way to keep them coming back for more, Sam.Someone let me know if the other items other than shrimp are good-- after the last time I was here I always remembered the nameas "Sam's Shrimp Shack" so I didn't even realize they do other stuff.
