Guava Smoked

Goddamn what a great find. It's right outside the gym I go to. My girlfriend and I decided to order a loco moco and omelette for pick up since we had plans that day. We ate it in the car hahahahaSitting there I honestly don't think would've been that sick anyway but the other spot has a way better insideAlright anyway that meat. You can taste smoke in everything. They aren't kidding when they call themselves smoked. Nothing is smoked without flavor either. The chicken, pork and beef in loco moco were all so flavorfulThis is also the best loco moco on the island for two reasons. The first being the actual quality of the beef. The second being their white gravy. Not like your traditional brown and it was a great twist

One of the best restaurants I had when visiting Oahu!! There's something about the food and atmosphere at Guava Smoked that just felt so authentic and special! Guava Slush: 10/10Smoked Kalbi Short Rib Plate: 10/10Smoked Pork Plate: 9/10By far the best food I've had while in Oahu. The meat was so tender and had a smokey taste to it. I like that the short ribs were cut up which was easier to eat and enjoy. The Mac salad was very unique and unlike any I've tasted before, which was super delicious! If there's one place you should go, it's Guava Smoked!! Not to mention the refreshing taste of the guava slushy that I can't stop thinking about!There is street parking and a small parking lot behind the restaurant. In order to enter, you need to walk through the parking lot and go up the stairs to the entrance,

Very neat and modern interior. There's good table and chair seating. Ample walkway.Menus are large and up on the wall near the counter.Interesting decor and trophies on display. There's about 4 parking spots right in front of the restaurant. The cashier was kind and explained their menu items. He also cut up our grilled meat requests. Their credit card scanner is propped right onto the back of the register unlike most displays.

This is their second location...The original location is much nicer; better ambiance, easier to find and more inviting with a more upscale feeling. The Food is still so ono... broke da mout kine. Parking is terrible on the other hand. There is a dirt parking lot directly across the street with some additional spaces and fills up quickly. #SmokedGrinds:~ Smoked Mixed Plate: - Smoked Salmon Bellies - 4.5/5Perfectly "Smoked" Salomon Belly with a slight char on the outside. Tender and moist on the inside. & - Smoked Loco Moco (Spicy) - 4.5/5Same. Same. The Loco Moco here is done differently. They use Pork & a creamy White Gravy instead of the traditional Beef and Brown Gravy. Very different, but oh so tasty! If you are expecting a traditional Loco Moco, you might be a bit stumped, but I doubt you 'd be disappointed.~ Smoked Mixed Plate: - Smoked Meat Chili - 5/5 & Homemade Chili! Just delish...with a nice kick, but not too spicy. & - Smoked Pork (w/ Fried Rice) - 4/5Amazing Smoke flavor on the Pork. It was a bit too well done, some pieces were a bit tough. Still completely edible. Don't forget to grab a Guava Bar or two for dessert!I'm glad they're dong well.Of course, I'll be back if I'm in the area...Just wish for better parking.

I got hungry running errands and figured a lunch before the crowds would be a good time to get a mini.I grabbed the second to last parking spot in front. It was a tight fit and reversing in was the best option. Inside, the restaurant had very basic chairs, tables and decor. I was craving a loco moco and it took about 10 minutes to prep it.I knew they used a creamy white sauce for their loco moco but was a bit surprised to find that they didn't serve a whole patty like everywhere else. It was just ground up beef on top of rice. I liked the deep smoked flavor of the meat and sauce but that took a bit of time to adjust. Normally I like a lot of gravy on my loco moco but the ratio seemed off without a patty. Still a good loco moco and next time will bring a bigger appetite to try the smoked meats.

I ordered a mixed plate with kalbi short ribs and salmon bellies. The kalbi short ribs were very tasty - great flavor, nice smokiness, and the texture of the meat was tender. The salmon bellies also had good flavor and were tender, but a bit too burnt in some spots for my liking. It came with rice and mac salad, both of which were ok.The space is small but there is some indoor seating here. It's a fast casual setup - order at the counter and seat yourself or take it to go. A lot of people seemed to do take out. The parking situation here isn't the greatest, as there are only 3 spots in front of the restaurant, with a few spots across the street, and street parking. We thankfully got a spot right in front of the restaurant.The service was quick and nice - we had a larger group and they were able to get our food out quickly.

Kinda hard to find on Republican off Kahili. Four small parking spaces in front and street parking is limited. Total hole-in-the-wall join but the food is sooo good.This location caters to locals. No table service, old tables, peeling paint, etc. but you come for the food. And the food is great.We'll defintiely be back.

This was my favorite place to go to on my last visit. I came right before it was about to close. And for those going for the first time, it is low-key and not in the best parking area. But worth the hunt. They only had chili and pork left. So I just got that. And my gosh was that unexpectedly so good. The chili just knocked me off my socks from the first bite. A must order here. The pork was cooked perfectly as well. I got the mild flavor. That guava smoke flavor is definitely there. I got it with steamed white rice. And this meal was just so satisfying. I can't wait to eat here again. I need to learn how to smoke my meat on guava leavesRecommendation: Chili , mild pork, Mac salad, and white rice

Came in near closing time, and got some smoke butterfish collars, with fried rice . First time I tried them. The smoke on the meat is sweet, I don't know how they make it but it's very good. Very accommodating staff, and plenty of seating.

The smoked chicken salad is excellent. The sweetness of the dressing balances so well with the guava smoked chicken.
