A century-old Windward Oahu eatery keeps serving traditional Hawaiian food made on-site, a good-news story for fans of authentic local cuisine.

• Waiahole Poi Factory has operated since 1905 and has served traditional Hawaiian food since 2009.
• The menu includes a large shareable combo plate, a poi salad with dried shrimp and chili, and laulau cooked in coconut milk and salt.
• Its warm haupia pie with ice cream is the standout dessert that draws repeat customers.
• The business also runs a food court spot at Windward Mall and a small country store selling local products, and it offers catering and occasional poi-pounding demonstrations.

Outlook: Expect continued steady local and visitor traffic as the business leans further into catering and its country store ahead of the holidays.
