Karen's Katering - Honolulu

My wife suggested we go to Karen's since we were going to be in the area. I looked up their web site and the Fridays special was Turkey. We got there at about 10am. Was told that the turkey wasn't ready. So we ended up buying a shoyu chicken plate to share. The chicken plate came with three large thighs, to scoops rice and a scoop of mac salad. I enjoyed the chicken more than my wife. The shoyu gravy was thin and not as dark in color as other places. Thr taste was a nild slightly sweet shoyu flavor. Server was friendly. Bought a canned soda so she asked if I wanted ice. She brought two cups of ice to our table. We beat the lunch crowed. Still parking can be a problem. They have a few reserve for Karen"s stalls in front Enjoy

Its been awhile that we came back here. My husband wanted to eat turkey but I guess we were early line about 1030 and the server said not ready yet. So we chose shoyu chicken plate 3 pieces of thighs 2 scoop rice and 1 scoop mac/potato. The chicken was big pieces but we didn't take extra sauce pour on the rice or on the chicken. The chicken was missing something in taste. But I guess my heart was really wanted turkey. The sauce was light and not to much shoyu taste which I felt its ok. The salad was ok. I thought this place had like home made desserts. I only saw the cookie lady bag cookies in the refrigerator section had pickle onions, jello with fruit. Kinda of disappointed. Maybe they dont make their homemade deserts anymore dont know. Support them if in the area. They are open for dine in. Yay.

Aloha all, this small hole in da wall has been here for years because it has always provided some of the best food and local favorites. You will enjoy the fried rice , local moco, and so much more. Stop by and enjoy.

The food is always good here. Wish they would serve garlic bread with the baked spaghetti. Ordered garlic bread from zippys. The prime rib is awesome-thank you for that awesome piece today. It's for my friend who makes me lunch everyday.!!

Great breakfast for early bird special of $9.95. Lots of food enough for 2 people to eat
