Kaka'ako Kitchen

We say it year after year, if this place switched from plastic foam to real dishes, it would be perfect. One of the earliest upscale plate lunch places, Kaka'ako Kitchen offers reliably good, interesting food, with healthful options (brown rice, salad sides) as well as great baked goods at reasonable prices in a convenient location with free parking.
