Review is only for the ube cheesecake - holy cow, I can understand why it's won all of the awards. One of the best slices of cheesecake I've ever had, particularly the macadamia nuts in the crust. A ton of other flavored cheesecakes in the display case, including plain macadamia crusted, lilikoi, oreo, and mango. But I only had eyes for the bright purple ube. The texture is super silky and not too sweet and the ube flavor came out so well. I had to restrain myself from gobbling the whole piece in one go - it's also not cheap, about $10 plus tax per slice. If you come during a busy time, be prepared to stand in line and then be prepared to wait for your food since everything is made fresh to order. When I came on a random weekday around 1pm, the line was out the door and the wait time for food was about 45 minutes to an hour. The parking lot was full of people waiting it out in their cars. Millie was super friendly, thanking each customer for their patience and asking for any allergies. The noodles looked and smelled incredible, but we had already gorged ourselves on a breakfast buffet and so the only thing I wanted was the cheesecake. Make sure to check the hours before you go; well actually, the smartest thing would be to call and order ahead and just swing by and pick up your plate. Be careful navigating the parking lot; spaces are tight.

Finally got to eat my Adela's again! I absolutely love this place and the owners are the best! Pro tip, order ahead so you don't have to wait! They make everything fresh to order so wait times can be anywhere from 30min-over an hour. I know this may seem long for take out but it is worth it! The food is absolutely delicious and worth the money! Portions are so large too!

Great service and extremely friendly. The restaurant is a take out only restaurant. No indoor dining. The taro noodles didn't really taste like taro. It tasted more like soy sauce garlic noodles. The pies and cheesecake were delicious. Great stop for some fresh noods if planning a day trip to the north shore from Oahu.

The "must have" meal in Oahu!! Great fish and fresh garlic noodles. Our family of six devoured our meals (including brisket, fried rice, etc) and delicious cheesecakes (several flavors). Service was super great (friendly & welcoming) and food was ready in about 30 mins. Great experience and will come back again. Remember: there's no dine in.. so plan accordingly

Follow the reviews and call ahead to place the order. Some reviews say they will call you when it's ready, but I think they were too busy taking orders to call me so I stood in line and my order was ready when I mentioned I had called for pick-up. This is a takeout only place. I got the lechon with malunggay pasta! Amazing and it fed 2 people. Nice sauce and pasta is mild but the perfect bite is lechon dipped in the sauce with some pasta and onions. Parking is scarce!

Adela's never disappoints! Couldn't leave Hawaii before coming here as well! This place just feels like home. Even after one year Aunty and Uncle still remembered my hubby. It's like we were here last week. They are amazing! If you have the pleasure of renting a car or driving around please visit Adela's. This isn't a maybe, this is a must! Also just a heads up. This place is super popular so be sure to order like an hour in advance (by phone) so you're not waiting for an hour. They make everything from scratch so it is going to take a while. When you get here - parking is limited but people are in and out so it shouldn't be an issue. The line is usually out the door - haha. What do you expect from yelps top 7 out of 100 places to eat in the US! If you're lucky enough to come out to Hawaii you need to come here! I ordered the macadamia crusted fish with white rice and their mango sauce. This was spectacular! It was not heavy at all! I literally ate it all by myself! The fish was cooked perfectly! Not dry and not raw. It was perfect! The crust was sooo delicious! I can taste the nuttiness and richness of the macadamia and it was thinly layered and just heaven! The mango sauce complimented it so well. It had the right amount of spice. I'm not a huge spicy eater and it was just perfect! Omg I literally licked my plastic container. I also asked for plain white rice and it came with buttered green beans. Hubby ordered the malunggay noodles "loco style" with buttered garlic shrimp. I've never seen him eat something so fast! I cannot be happier! I wish I could give Adela's a 10! Best place ever! Thanks Aunty and Uncle for always welcoming us and never forgetting us! We love you guys! Until next time! The Trang Family

TL; DR - THE BEST LECHON I EVER HAD. EVER. Humble exterior and interior. It's a small shop where you order to go only at the counter. There is nowhere to sit inside, so be prepared to eat in your car or take it back somewhere to eat. You'll wonder if this place is worth it. Is it worth the wait? Is it worth eating in my car? Is it worth the drive? HELL YEAH it is, especially if you order the lechon kawali and fried rice. This lechon will be straight out the fryer hot, have the perfect crispy skin, and tender/moist meat. They fry the portion in one piece and then cut it up afterwards so that the inside is left super tender and won't cut up your mouth or leave you needing to see the dentist for a tooth replacement. No hard lechon kawali here! My husband and I devoured that plate in record time. It is that good!

Food is always great! Service is above and beyond! Ambiance is limited by space but amazing what is achieved none the less!

This is an island traditional stop! I love how you can mix and match noodles, sauces and meats. There's something for everyone! We ordered the ube noodles w oyster/veggie sauce w lechon. Their lechon is crispy with a good fat/meat ratio. Well flavored. We also had the braised short ribs w white rice. The white rice was a good balance as the meat was a bit on the saltier side by itself. The portions are huge huge huge here. 2 orders fed our family of 5. It's a take out place, so no seating available.

5-stars all the way! I am so glad I got to make this drive to try one of the best restaurants listed on the top 100 list. They make house-made noodles from taro, bread fruit, and manlunggay. I highly recommend ordering their garlic noodles (Ulu) with lechon! This is one of the best dishes I've had in all of Hawaii. I also had to try their lechon with garlic fried rice and egg which was also dynamite. Both dishes weren't salty and had the perfect balance of seasoning. The wait time can be pretty long but it's still worth it. They do say your order will be ready in 30 mins to 1hr BUT it usually takes 20-25 mins. Also, order a slice of Ube cheesecake! It tastes like regular NY style cheesecake with hints of Ube flavoring. I will say though, the graham cracker crust is very thin so you won't get much of it. I'll definitely come back!
