      Yes, we had been trying to get there for the last couple of trips. We finally made it this time, on a drive around the island. Next time, we are going back and will try most of their Hawaiian food (but will bring hot sauce).

    Thank you for sharing. I love the description of the Lau Lau. Glad you enjoyed it.

      We really enjoyed it. When we come back, we're going to go back and try some more traditional luau foods. But we're on Maui right now, and don't think we'll be coming back to Oahu until Thanksgiving time.

      Yes, this is a bit of a drive from, say, Waikiki (anticipate 45 minutes-1 hour), but it's worth it.

    Hello from Canada! New subscriber here!
    Never been to Hawaii, but my parents go every year. It's one of the top places on our list! What interesting food. Good video, thanks for the review!

      Glad you like it. You should make it out to Hawaii sometime. We love Canada, been to Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal, and we thought that the people there were particularly nice. Also loved the local foods in each of those towns! Tried to make it out to Bampff a couple of times, but have not yet been able to get there.

    Surprisingly I’ve driven past this place for 30 years and never tried it. The mochiko chicken at Waianae store is pretty good, give it a try next time.

      OK, we'll give that a try next time we are up toward the North Shore (we usually go at least once to Haleiwa each trip because we love Kua Aina).
