What M D doesn't like about Highway Inn at Kakaako:
Friendliest staff. Really loved them all. Went for breakfast and found the omelets very, very greasy. Coffee and OJ were great. I look forward to trying lunch here though as I think the Hawaiian specialties are more what they're well known for. View all feedback. What Victor Y likes about Highway Inn at Kakaako:
Overall, the food tasted very good. Kalua pig was very flavourful and I highly recommend pipikaula (beef) as well which was my favourite. I thought Poi was also well made and it went well with the rest of the dishes. I recall eating Poi several years ago at another location, which was not as good. View all feedback.

Not a fan of Hawaiian food, but we came near closing and received good service and the food came out pretty quickly.

The tasting platter was fantastic and a great introduction to anyone not familiar with Hawaiian food. Their lomi salmon was also the best I had on the island.

Food was average and somewhat bland. Will only let you split a large group into 4 tickets and didn't tell us there was an 18% service charge for a large group.
