Helena's Hawaiian Food

In the heart of Kalihi lies one of the state's oldest Hawaiian food eateries, Helena's Hawaiian Food. ​Serving traditional Hawaiian food using the family secret recipes of founder Helen Chock, this restaurant introduces visitors to how Hawaiian food should taste. If you want to try a little bit of everything Helena's has to offer, order “Menu D.” It comes with the traditional tasty kalua pig, semi-salty lomi salmon, appetizing pipikaula (dried beef) short ribs and luau squid. Save room for the haupia (coconut) dessert. If you want to try melt-in-your-mouth goodness, order the Fried Butterfish Collar as a side dish.
