Helena's Hawaiian Food is a true gem in Honolulu! 🌺

I dropped by out of curiosity and left blown away. The Kalua pork is hands down the best I've ever had, bursting with flavor! I also tried the fried butterfish collar - delicious, but a bit on the fishy side, so be warned!

The short ribs, while tasty, could have been a touch juicier. The casual atmosphere and friendly staff made the experience delightful, and I even enjoyed a complimentary coconut jelly dessert. Overall, a must-visit if you want authentic Hawaiian cuisine! 🌊✨
