Uptown was my daily go to place for lunch. However, since the new owners took over Uptown has been very disappointing. First, the prices have increased substantially. Second, they are not ready to serve early eaters like me. They tell me it is because they don't have cooks. I would go in on Monday and buy several spaghetti ala carte plates. They used to cost $6.00. Now they cost $9.00 since the new owners took over. The last couple of times I went on Monday they did not even have spaghetti. They said we don't have cooks. Same for Thursday pork chops. They also don't have mashed potato every day, again because lack of cooks. I went five times in the last two weeks and left because they did not have the daily specials I have become used to buying or they were not ready for lunch. Very disappointing from a former loyal customer.

How have I never posted here?! This spot is prime location in Wailuku town and great for lunch. You can call ahead or even order online. It can get busy so if you're ono for the daily special, you might want to call it in or risk it getting sold out. Top specials are Pastele Stew on Wednesdays and of course their Baked Opakapaka on Fridays. I personally love their tuna melt and philly cheesesteak. So good and so affordable even in today's inflated prices. All the aunties in there are super nice! They even make delicious desserts and baked goods.

I like their Hamburger steak. This is my go to Now. Very flavorful and they give very good portion. Nice and hot too. Meat is tender and Delicious. I would recommend check out their daily Menu specials as well!! I first thought it was just a gas station with fast foods but you can actually have good food here for lunch dinner breakfast...

My coworker told me the Pastele Stew on Wednesdays were great. I liked the Pastele Stew. I prefer a little spice to Pastele Stew and it was surprising that this one wasn't a little spicy. It reminded me more of Pork Adobo minus the vinegar. The Gandule Rice was really good. I enjoyed it. Also got other things like hot dog musubi, spam musubi, and breakfast fried rice (discounted since it was already lunch). They have so much selection and it was quite busy inside. It was a good thing I came early enough. I'd come back to try their other specials. Their specials list is on their website. Parking is a little hard to find.

Terrible service. I got rotten beer from them and they would not return it. Then insulted me as I left. Bunch of ugly people.

They were nice; however, it smelled like doodoo inside, so I didn't wanna get any

Usually has a nice array of food that is tasty: pastele stew, baked opakapaka, adobo fried rice. I'd stay away from the shrimp scampi pasta. That was worse than a TV dinner (soggy soft noodles, heavy one dimensional cream sauce). Towards the end of the day, a lot of food items are half off (and still decent!) Everyone there is and has been nice and friendly, and fast in terms of service. It's a gas station, so don't expect much. Good to grab and go some snack food and drinks too.

I just thought it was cool they sold beyond meat jerky. I've never seen this before & wanted to try it. It's surprisingly good, the flavor isn't as strong as your typical teriyaki jerky. But the look and texture is pretty similar.

This place has stayed a hidden jem from tourist which is great. The prices are reasonable and the portions are just right enough to fill you up for lunch but not make you sleepy. I like the fact that along with the regular menu they also have daily specials so you have a variety of food to pick from. It gets busy especially around lunch time so you might want to call in your order if you're in a hurry

Came here at the request of one of my employees. They stated the food was great and it was the closest place to Kaohu store who didn't have poke ready yet... Ordered 10 plates of random items for everyone. I ended up with the mushroom gravy pork chops with mashed potatoes. It was cold. Like out of the fridge cold. The potatoes while mashed had pieces that were undercooked. Overall I had roughly two bites and tossed the plate. Will not be back and I can't recommend it as it was the worse plate lunch I've had in awhile.

I do enjoy a hamburger steak wherever I go. It seems to be my go to plate lunch so when I went here and they were out of pastele plate with gandule rice I knew what I wanted. Hamburger steak of course. Das Automatic! It came with 2 hamburger patties with brown gravy and a scoop of rice. The only thing was it was cold. But it was delicious. I ended up eating most of it. Everything but the rice and Mac salad. They were pretty busy which is a good thing you know that they're doing something right. We also go the teriyaki we taught it was breaded but it wasn't. But it still tasted good. The taste was there I like how friendly the purple are here. Truly great customer service. Especially Momi I didn't get a chance to talk with her but the thing that got to me was a we were leaving she said thank you. And "love you family" hey now that's what's going to bring me back that the people working there are friendly. She truly is a gem. I love that. Maybe the next time I will get gandule rice and pastele if I'm in wailuku early to the game.
