About ELENA'S HOME OF FINEST FILIPINO FOODS
When it comes to authentic island flavors, Elena's Filipino Restaurant is a true Filipino hot spot
in Hawaii which really hits home. At Elena's Filipino Restaurant, all the favorites are made from scratch and you'll truly notice the difference
compared to bland, large chain comparisons surrounding. Founded 40 years ago by Elena herself and Theo Butuyan, it is a staple in the Waipahu
community. It's made a big enough splash over the years that it has been featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives with tremendous success. The owners,
being immigrants from the Philippines, gives them the insight of how to get the dishes done right with traditional means and ingredients. There are
many favorites at Elena's Filipino Restaurant but the two which always stand out from our visits are the Pork Adobo Fried Rice and the Lechon Special.
We highly recommend Elena's Filipino Restaurant when you're visiting or living in Hawaii. Be sure to come hungry as the portions are always generous
that will fill a small family! Starting out in 1974, it has been a tremendous 50 years of service which by itself reveals the success and longevity
of this location. They have also collected dozens of awards over those years which are just the icing on the cake with their success. Find out for
yourselves why Guy Fieri recommends Elena's Filipino Restaurant on his Triple D adventures across the world.
