Highway Inn Kaka’ako

Highway Inn has been in continuous business since 1947, serving Hawaiian and American Food to the people of Oahu. Hailing from the west-side of Oahu, Highway Inn was established by Japanese Immigrants recently returned to Hawaii after being interned for much of World War II. After some 66 years in Waipahu, Highway Inn, under the leadership of its the third generation, the restaurant expanded its operations to bring the Island's best-loved Hawaiian Food Restaurant to Kaka'ako in Honolulu, and to the Bishop Museum.

Highway Inn is famous for its Hawaiian Food. Hawaiian Food is the amalgamation of all the locally grown food that was native and brought to the Islands by successive waves of immigrants and settlers over the last few hundred years. Hawaiian staples are poi, taro leaves, lau laus, and poke. More recent innovations are pipikaula, haupia, squid luau, beef stew, kalua pig, and nowadays we add ribs, burgers, quesadillas, tacos, salads, and appetizers, all made with some local flair.

In 2010 Guy Fieri from the Food Network visited and showcased Hawaiian Food to its viewers. Over the years, Highway Inn has won many awards from and via the local media, business, and government organizations. In May 2017 Highway Inn won USA Today’s Best Kalua Pig Sandwich in the State Competition.
