The Food Company was named the best plate lunch on Oahu per AAA for 2023. I went to check out what this was about, as I have never heard of the restaurant. Located in the Enchanted Lake Kailua area, the Food Company has numerous plate lunches, bentos and many homemade desserts!

Def gonna try that plate lunch you just ate! I gotta find me a place after Heights Drive Inn closed.
Nice local plate lunch choices. Can’t go wrong….
I love that coconut milk jello for deserts food look delicous and cheap too, thank you for sharing your video, have a good weekend Mitty.
You had me wanting that food so bad with the intro.🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤 Also, everything looked really good.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
you had me at mochiko chicken – basically cant get that where I live.
I used to work all over that area but I have never heard of that place.
Good review,
Best mochiko chicken!
What an amazing find, Misty. Next time if we're on the windward side, we will go.
You have an amazing number of friends that give you the scoops on all these mom n pop places that serve amazing food. Gotta explore Windward side more.
Aloha Friday Misty!!! I really like the menu, it's nice. Good job!!!
i love your show awesome 100 +%
So many textures and flavors going on with the Hotyah chicken plate! Love a turkey "thanksgiving" type meal anytime. Yes to putting lomi lomi salmon in poi or rice. Hope you had a good nap aftah aftah pau eat 😪👌!
Wow, my hometown has award winning eats. 👏🤙
I do have to tell you that I'm glad you didn't get the rainbow cake. If you want the BEST Rainbow cake, sis, I will hook you up! Non of this pretty Looking colors, no flavor Rainbow. MIKES BAKERY makes the best ever and it has traveled with me for every 'ohana event…lol.
Every layer has a deep individual fruit flavor that is so ono. ☺️🥲.
Lmk My treat.❤🤙
Aloha Misty I hope you’re well. I love the food review as always, wow at the desserts 🥰 I’m a huge sweet tooth lover. That chicken lunch plate looked awesome, the portion is huge. Sriracha mayo aioli would already make me say yes to that meal. Yum that coconut pudding looks to die for, I want that now haha.
Aloha Misty: I hope you, and your young guy, are doing great! That was an amazing place recommended by AAA. I can’t believe the huge amount of delicious food for that price. The Hawaiian plate made me think of home with the chicken long rice being the center-piece — my grandfather made it. Yes, I can still smell the fragrance of the ginger slices to this day! Thank you for the memories! Be sure to guide Aiden on his journey of growing-up! Best wishes and 🧧! Much 🤙, fellow 🐯-alumni!
That is a delicious looking menu. I might even try the mochiko, katsu, and grilled kalbi tofu…maybe. Thanks again for pointing out the veg options. Have a relaxing weekend!
Hey Misty!! So many food lists out there that we don’t know about. That’s interesting that AAA has a list of the best plate lunches in O’ahu!! Both plate lunches looked delicious. Good to know the Hotyah Chicken wasn’t too spicy so we both (Michelle since she’s not into spicy food) can try it. Laulau is so much better with some fat and butterfish. Good portions too and very affordable prices. Adding to the ongoing massive list!! Mahalo again for sharing this spot and the list with us!! Have a great weekend!!
Aloha Misty, The Hotyah Chicken looks good and for 12.95, that's already 4 to 6 dollars less than the going rates I'm used too. And I had a hard time believing that the Hawaiian plate cost 12.95 too! Wow! Another great review Misty. Never heard of this place but def will go. Aloha👍🤙😋
Awesome find. I’ve been looking for another Kailua spot.
Great find, will have to try next time on the windward side! Thank you for the review!!
Just been to ala Moana and got me some Jollibee. Got in yesterday morning. At 6:30 pm I was having a blast by 7pm I was sound alseep. I was wiped out after a 19 hour flight
