        Best Lūʻau on the Island

        As a family-operated lūʻau, we pride ourselves on providing an intimate, authentic experience. This includes the pa'ina, or the feast, too. Instead of serving generic "Hawaiian" cuisines, we treat our guests to the real deal. There is nothing like good old family cooking, after all! We feature cousin Gary's secret teriyaki beef recipe, our grandmother's poi recipe, and other community recipes that we hold near and dear to heart.

        Of course, dinner is just the beginning of any island celebration. We'll invite you to learn and join the singing, dancing, and chanting that celebrate this lively occasion. These traditions tell the history of Polynesia and strengthen our sense of community. The lūʻau is no exception. With each drum beat, we ask you to join our 'ohana or family.
