Hawaiian Style Chili

I've become quite obsessed with the seafood chowder at Hawaiian Style Chili. They have a stand at the KCC Farmer's Market on Saturdays. There are about eight tempting dishes across the counter to attract customers. But for the last three weeks, I show up early to get a bowl of the thick, creamy seafood chowder. I love that the chowder is so hot that I can barely hold the bowl. The little bits of shrimp, seafood and celery are delicious. Oh, and the croutons, they are like little presents on top. I don't know how the croutons stay crispy in the chowder, but they do. I can barely wait to get home to dig in. The clerks are aloha friendly and there is usually not too long of a wait (when you're there early). They provide utensils and napkins and a compostable container. The Market opens 7:30 am on Saturdays and it's pretty crowded and there's no place to sit. I take my food to go. Highly recommend!!

I've seen this place at Farmer's markets and was always curious when driving past it on the way to the north shore - so when the aloha Friday deals offered the gift certificates for half off, I was super excited to try it!The $13 New York steak with $3 add on for shrimp scampi sounded so decadent, and it was even better than expected. The steak was ordered medium rare but came out a little more done than I would have liked. Still the meat was super tender, buttery, and tasty. It went perfectly with the shrimp scampi, which was super buttery and rich, almost like a creamy sauce for the steak with huge fancy mushrooms.It came with a small salad with oriental style dressing and a side of mayonnaise pasta salad (a little too rich to eat with everything, but still good).It was a really large portion and definitely satisfied my cravings for red meat. Already looking forward to returning!

Tonight I had the ribeye with shrimp. It was chef's kiss . So good. Keep up the hard work Dayne and family. And to all of Oahu, eat local...continue to support these small businesses. Aloha.

Located in the old Bentos 2 Love location next door to Kiani's Guava Chicken. They've been here since April 2021 so it's been less than a year here. Lots of good menu items but I decided to try the chili first since they are known for that. I was pleasantly surprised that turned out to be one of the best Chili plates I've had so far! The ono Chili had Portuguese sausage and olives in it! You gotta try it if you like chili. The salad was fresh and they even had oriental salad dressing as an option! And to top it off, it came with potato salad (not Mac salad) that tasted great! For dessert, I got the some of their Taro mochi balls and they were delicious as well. The service was good. The lady working the counter was very friendly and didn't even charge me for a can of soda after she learned it was my first time there. Definitely coming back to try more menu items!

I've been eating at their tent at the Farmer's market for over 20 years. The food quality is consistently delicious and they have many regular customers. I particularly recommend their ahi plate of all of their other plates (steak, roast pork, chili, beef stew etc) are equally as good and all the regulars have their own favorites.

So I found a new lunch spot and can't wait to try everything on the menu. The staff has the Aloha spirit even though we are in a pandemic safety precautions are taken, food was quick to order and I have to say quick in my tummy it was so good. They also go to different farmers market so check out the menu I posted it shows where and what day. Check them out

Literally my favorite place to eat and it's close to my job! Great customer service, highly recommend and the prices are very good Chili and New York steak my favorite !!

Finally got the chance to get some food here. The first time I got food was at the farmers market. I got the seared ahi, which was ono. I just didnt like the shrooms on the top. Next time I will order it without. (But thats just me cuz I dont eat shrooms)In Hawaii, its hard to find good chili. Ive searched HI and low, but so far, this has the best chili. The chili bowls dont come with rice so you gotta remember to ask for rice. The chili has big chunks of meat and some olives and port. Sausage. Very meaty. Hope to try the chowder next time! #blessed

Saturday car snack. The sister there was so nice. First she called me bruddah and not uncle, even though I'm older than her. And she gave me a free seafood chowder. And I liked that it was family owned and run. Mom, dad and keikis all in there.

Went back because the first time we tried seared ahi n New York steak was really good. This time ordered the steamed snapper special. Don't do it! I was excited when I saw that thinking I was going to get to eat fresh snapper. Frozen not fresh. No taste whatsoever. Not sure that was even snapper. Tasted like Basa (Swai). So disappointing!
