Kai's Pastele Shop

Quick service, they give a lot! And taste really yummy! Normally lots of parking in the front, but this is a very busy street.Food: 5/5

A very cool little restaurant away from Waikiki. The place has been making great pasteles for 30 years. Parking is limited as well as seating inside. It's a short drive from Waikiki and is very much worth it. Super friendly service. Bite squad friendly. Roamingsmith.blog

Growing up pasteles became my favorite food & as I aged my favorite comfort food. I have so many memories connected to holidays & my grandfather bringing us home pasteles, gandule rice, & bacalao salad. I have never eaten a pastele quite a delicious as the ones made right here at The Pastele Shop.

the pastele shop is located at kalihi how it is a puerto rican food but it's a mexican food the rice is called mexican rice not gandule rice

So far from PR food. The gandules is basically just red rice, where’s the sofrito? The rice taste only like tomato sauce. The pasteles were not wrapped in banana leaf and the consistency was bad. Super mushy not at all like what a Puerto Rican pastele would be made like. Insulting to my culture. PARKING TERRIBLE!

This little shop packs big flavor at a remarkable price. I got the pastels plate. The pastels and rice were both delicious. The service was super friendly. Love this place!

I enjoy their spicy pastele. Their menu has good selections - ala carte, regular plate, combo plates, etc. The shop is very small, simple, considered outdated. The employees need to dress a little better as it reflects the food establishment. But if their employer is okay with their work attire - then not much can be done.

The service was quick, friendly service and the food was very tasty. YUMMY!Food: 5/5

Friendly and fun service. Authentic Puerto Rican foods — pastele, pastelle stew, bacalao salad, gandule rice. Some new twists such as the tasty pastele lumpia and an incredible pastele loco moco.

Since moving to Oahu from Chicago my wife and I were missing her families home cooking. The pasteles were so delicious and gandule rice was also great. We will be returning customers.Food: 5/5
