Tucked into a small shopping center along Kamehameha Highway in Kāneʻohe, Adela’s Country Eatery is a casual takeout restaurant that offers a menu centered around house-made noodles using locally grown ingredients. With its innovative use of Hawaiʻi’s agricultural products and emphasis on takeout-friendly service, it has drawn interest from both residents and visitors.
The restaurant is best known for its distinctive approach to pasta, incorporating starches like taro, ʻulu (breadfruit), Okinawan sweet potato, and moringa into the noodle dough. Each base gives the noodles a unique color, texture, and flavor, offering a playful yet rooted take on a familiar dish. The format is fully customizable, allowing diners to choose their preferred noodle, protein, and sauce combination. This build-your-own approach highlights the versatility of island-grown ingredients while giving customers the freedom to craft a meal that suits their taste.
Some of the more popular selections include taro or ʻulu noodles paired with garlic shrimp, pork belly, chicken katsu, or tofu. Sauces range from garlic butter to sesame miso and tomato-based blends. In addition to freshly made meals, Adela’s also offers packaged noodles for at-home preparation and a selection of side dishes for a more complete takeout experience.
As a takeout-first restaurant, Adela’s operates with limited on-site seating. Most guests place their orders in person or online and take their food to-go. The location is compact and more suited for quick pickup than extended dining. Because of its popularity, certain menu items often sell out by the late afternoon—especially on weekends—so ordering ahead is a smart choice for anyone with specific cravings.
Adela’s Country Eatery is located in Kāneʻohe on the Windward side of Oʻahu, making it a convenient stop for those planning to visit Hoʻomaluhia Botanical Garden, the Byodo-In Temple, or the nearby beaches of Kailua and Waimānalo. Many visitors find it ideal for picking up a meal before heading to the beach or a scenic overlook. For travelers looking to explore more of the island at their own pace, renting a car offers both convenience and flexibility. Blue Diamond Vacations makes it easy to secure reliable transportation for a seamless experience across Oʻahu.
To save time and avoid missing out on popular items, it's best to place an order in advance—especially if you're visiting during peak hours.
