The Food Company - Kailua

The Food Company Restaurant Catering (TFCRC) was a place that I patronized almost weekly at it's original location where Boot's and Kimo currently reside. Their menu is local centric and is Asian fusion with Hawaiian influence. I was sad to learn that the TFCRC lost their lease at its original location across from Safeway, but happy that they share the kitchen and space with Boardriders Bar. Bay Shrimp Avocado Salad 4/5 The Bay Shrimp Avocado Salad was good, not fantastic. I felt they could have increased the portion of shrimp on the salad. Overall, the salad was good. The avocados were buttery,and did not taste overripe. I had to ask for more dressing because you only get a small 2oz small cup of dressing of choice. The portion is too small for my liking. Ahi belly with brown rice 4/5 The ahi belly was breaded and fried. The breading had scant seasoning, and the ahi belly was a little fishy than usual but is expected with some portions of the ahi belly. But overall, the ahi belly was still good. Update: TFCRC has moved to its own place located in the Keolu Shopping Center. It is now take out only. Hopefully, they can find a place where you can sit down to enjoy their creations. The menu is a little different from their original place, but I assume is a transitional menu. Hopefully, TFCRC can reintroduce a lot of their menu selections from their original location. That probably will not happen until TFCRC finds a location to accommodate seating and a bigger kitchen.

Another great meal from the food company! Spam musubi! Right on point Breakfast was awesome no pics of our breakfast as no one could wait for pics! 2 Fried rice breakfast specials comes with fried rice 2 eggs and they both choose Portuguese sausage ! Spanish omelette great veggies The food company omelette filled with spam Portuguese sausage ham bacon kamaboko cheese and onions I know why it's popular! We always get great food and service here totally amazing got to go back for the Lau Lau plate on Fridays!

Food was hot and quick! This is a affordable consistent, quick service food place where if I was local--I'd come back consistently for lunch ! We got the poke, hotyah chicken (which was fatty flavorful and crunchy deliciousness!! and the banana bread. It was moist and so soft and sweet of natural flavoring. The location is within a bunch of stores near the cinema in a plaza--not a sit down but a great place to grab a bite and go somewhere else to eat!

Happened to be in the area and found this place on Yelp. They just recently moved to this new location in Enchanted Lakes (near Kailua Cinemas), so don't go looking for them inside Boarders in Kailua! They don't have a big sign hanging outside yet, but they're located in between a physical therapy place and Edward Jones. Plenty of parking is available in the shared strip shopping plaza parking lot. The eatery is very small with only a few tables inside. I think it's intended to be more of a take-out place. Despite their new location, it seemed like many of their regular customers already knew about the move, as the staff greeted almost everyone who walked in by name! I had read that they have a good loco moco, so I ordered that for $11.99. Loco moco is always a barometer for me when I try a new eatery. If they make a good one, then they pass the test for future visits. Their loco moco was good, but a bit salty. I like my gravy dark and rich. Their's was pretty close to that. I probably wouldn't order it again only because I want to try a few of their other menu items. In addition to their plate lunches, they also have a variety of bentos and delicious looking desserts! Service was super friendly and my order came out fast. Definitely check them out and support this small business!

The food was very tasty and they were generous in their portion size. The service was good for take out, the food was ready when we got there with all the utensils.
