Absolutely. We deliver island-wide across Oʻahu, including Waikīkī hotels, vacation rentals, and beach parks. Visiting for a family reunion, destination wedding, or company retreat? We’ll bring authentic Hawaiian food — kalua pig, lau lau, fresh poke, and homemade haupia — to wherever your group is gathering.

Lau lau is a traditional Hawaiian dish made by wrapping pork and chicken in taro leaves, then slow-steaming until meltingly tender. Our signature lau lau is half pork and half chicken — the way we think it's meant to be enjoyed. We also offer a chicken-only lau lau, and a vegetarian lau lau by request. It has been a staple at Yama's since we opened in 1980.

Haupia is a traditional Hawaiian coconut dessert with a smooth, firm, gelatin-like texture — think of it as a coconut pudding square. At Yama's, we bake our haupia fresh in small batches daily and love getting creative with flavors like Okinawan sweet potato haupia. HAWAIʻI Magazine named our haupia the best in Hawaiʻi.

Very fresh. Our fish comes directly from the Honolulu fish auction each morning — sashimi-grade ahi. We use high-quality fish and season it so the sauce complements the fish, not the other way around. You can actually taste the quality of the fish in every bite. We mix in small batches throughout the day so every scoop is at its peak.

Three things: the fish, the batches, and 45 years of practice. Our sashimi-grade ahi comes straight from the Honolulu fish auction each morning, we season so the sauce complements the fish rather than covering it, and we mix small batches throughout the day so every scoop is at its peak. Frolic Hawaiʻi named Yama’s one of their favorite poke picks in Honolulu.

A plate lunch is Hawaii’s classic local meal: a hearty entrée served with two scoops of rice and a scoop of macaroni salad. It grew out of Hawaii’s plantation days, when workers from many cultures shared food — which is why you’ll see everything from kalua pig to shoyu chicken on one menu. Most of our plates run $10–20.

We have vegetarian options — a vegetarian lau lau by special order, plus tofu stir fry, shoyu eggplant, vegetarian fried noodles, steamed vegetables, salads, and rice dishes on our catering menu. On gluten: many local favorites are seasoned with shoyu (soy sauce), which contains wheat, and our kitchen is not a dedicated gluten-free facility — call us at (808) 941-9994 and we’ll help you find dishes that work.
