“ Experience and the friendly lady that served me was 5 stars. The food seemed very authentic. It really just wasn't me. A little bland. The lau Lau tasted like collard greens. The pork itself i didn't care for. Kind of bland. The Mac salad was good. The lomi lomi I didn't care for. This is definitely a spot to try whether you like it or not. The real deal! ”

“ Ultimate mom & pop shop in Captain Cook. I was never a fan of laulau but I was impressed with the ones they had here!! The mother and daughter who ran the shop was welcoming and friendly, despite a bunch of customers arriving near their closing time. My husband and I shared a plate with pork and chicken laulau, rice, a delicious potato and mac salad and lomi salmon. The haupia sweet potato pie was TO DIE FOR. I normally don't eat desserts but I probably could've finished the entire piece on my own. Heads up, they do sell out of items so it's best if you get there early, especially if you want to take some frozen laulaus to go. ”

“ Tucked away on a roadside in Captain Cook, Super J's is the real deal for Hawaiian food, ohana at its finest. Order at the counter, grab a drink or dessert from the cooler, sit down at a family-style table and prepare to enjoy some outstanding Hawaiian home cooking. We got the kalua pork with cabbage and chicken laulau. Both were excellent but the laulau was amazing. Although chicken is less traditional I was feeling a little porked out and needed to get something non-porcine. The chicken was wrapped in taro leaves, overwrapped in ti leaves, and then steamed. The taro leaves season and perfume the chicken subtly but distinctly and have a mild delicious flavor eaten as a vegetable. Eating at Super J's is like having your Hawaiian aunties invite you over to eat. Stop here when on the Big Island. ”

“ A Hidden Gem of Authentic Hawaiian Cuisine! If you find yourself in Kona, do yourself a favor and stop by Kaaloa's Super J's! This place may not look like much from the outside, but step inside, and you'll be greeted by the warm, inviting atmosphere of an old Hawaiian dining room that feels like home. I had the chicken and pork laulau, while my husband indulged in the pork and cabbage. Both dishes were absolutely delicious! The flavors were rich and authentic, clearly made with love and care. You can genuinely smell the authenticity wafting from the open kitchen, where you can see everything being prepared fresh. Behind the counter, we met Jay and what I believe was her mother, and their passion for food shines through in every bite. They hand-make everything from scratch, which is evident in the quality and taste of the dishes. The tiny but very well kept dining area only added to the experience. Kaaloa's Super J's is a true testament to authentic Hawaiian cuisine, and I can't recommend it enough! Don't let the simple exterior fool you--inside is a culinary delight waiting to be discovered! ”

“ The food is good! You can taste the slow cook of the meat Service is so friendly! I think it's a family owned restaurant and the cashier is super friendly Don't expect a 5 star decor. It's cute and it does the job. Good portion sizes for the price ”
