Love the place—great plate lunch! Got the BBQ ribs and poke (forgot to take a picture of the poke, though)—both were awesome! The mac salad was good, too (they use spaghetti noodles, which I had never seen before. But still good!) The ribs were bomb—fall off the bone, great BBQ sause that had a great taste, but wasn't overpowering. They guy behind the counter is so chill and awesome. Definitely a place to grab some food and go to the beach. Heads up, it's an order and go kind of place, no room for eating there.

I ordered the Dynamite Salmon. It was cooked to perfection not dry at all & with a slight crunch to each bite, the sauce topping the salmon went well with the rice. And the spaghetti was great too. This was hands down the best thing I have eaten since I got to Hawaii.

Went with a friend after a hike and picked up take out from Kau Kau Grill on my 2nd day in Oahu. Probably the best ribs and garlic shrimp I've ever had. It was comforting to see locals ordering from there and the guy behind the counter was great. My friend and I have been talking about it everyday and we took our 16 year old sons here the day before we left the island. We were afraid we might've hyped it up too much but when they started eating there was just grunting and nodding, and they said it definitely lived up to the hype.

This place is amazing and has the best meat we have found in the area. The baby back ribs are hands down one of the best things I've put in my mouth and are definitely my favorite. Get the Trust Us special with the ribs and shrimp, you will not be disappointed. Take out only and parking is a nightmare but it's worth it.

Came straight from the airport as soon as I got out. If you love meat, this is the place for you!! Huge portion of meat and very generous amount of rice. Seriously, the rice lasts for days. Ordered the K special that has bbq ribs and spicy tuna poke. My brother ordered the Lunchbox. Dad had garlic shrimp and saimin. The shrimp was delicious. I liked the bbp ribs. Tender meat fell right off the bones.

Had the short ribs and teriyaki chicken. Both were excellent! The short ribs were like bite pieces of steak on a bed of delicious rice. Highly recommend!

First time there. Ordered a garlic shrimp/ garlic chicken mini combo all mac salad; and BBQ ribs/pulehu ribs reg combo. Food was great! The garlic shrimp is just ok but the garlic chicken is great. BBQ ribs are fall off the bone and pulehu ribs are old style ono. More than enough for 2 meals each for us seniors. Didn’t expect to pay $48 though so deducted 1 star.

Was in the area for an appointment and finished right about lunchtime, so I luckily got a chance to pick up some grub from kau kau! The lady before me was picking up a phone order, so I asked what she ordered. Dynamite Furikake Salmon sounded too good to pass up, so I ordered it too! Super dooper delicious and such a large portion! The owner was sooo friendly, which seals the deal with this place! Will be back again for sure! I got lucky and found parking on the street. I recommend coming with a friend just in case, since parking can be a challenge in this industrial area.
