Kau Kau Grill serves authentic Hawaiian-style lunches. A hole-in-the-wall eatery, you will find limited seating and a small counter here, but the food here will not disappoint you. Their spicy poke bowls here are delectable. The most ordered varieties of dishes here include garlic shrimp, spicy poke, and barbeque ribs.
