    Simply the best, far too much of my paycheck goes here but it's worth every penny. Love the hand rolls, spicy tuna bowls, and spam egg musubis 💕

    I love this place - terrific local food and good service. It's my go to for soccer day musubi and other pot luck goodies. I always try to get there early so they don't run out. Their poke is delicious as well. My kiddos love the okazuya options, which is awesome because they reject pretty much everything else we try to feed them. Credit cards are accepted (phew!). Parking can be a challenge however, because there are several other restaurants in the lot as well as a gas station and 7-11.

    There is a pretty good selection of okazuya items available, but I thought it was very expensive. I got everyday items like egg, hamburger patty, gobo, etc., and when she said my total was $24.50, I was shocked. The flavors were nothing special. I satisfied my curiosity about this place, and will patronize other okazuyas that are not as expensive. I won't mention names, but at 2 others that I go to, I can get 2 plates for under $30, and the flavors are much better.

    We are in vacation and went to the botanical gardens nearby. We needed gas and lunch so when we pulled in to the parking lot there was a steady stream of people going in to this place. While my husband filled up with gas we went into this place. Everything we bought was delicious. It is to go only.

    Nice to have an okazuya with lots of choices. We were only able to try the some of the okazuya which was okay. Will have to try the Hawaiian food the next time.

    Delicious wasabi ahi hand cone. Not too spicy and very flavorful. The kids loved the spam and hot dog musubis. Friendly and clean. At 12 PM, selection was more sparse, but that's to be expected.

    Absolutely delicious!

    Parking is a beast, but thankfully stalls open frequently as most places are just grab and go in the area. It can get pretty busy, but staff is friendly and efficient. If you see something you like from pics, highly recommend you order on the phone and have them put on the side before it sells out. Also helps the line move along much faster! My must trys are the fried chicken and fish patty and ahi balls from the okazu section. 👍

  • 5/5 Ted I. 3 years ago on Google
    One of the few places you can get broke da mouth Hawaiian and local food. The price is reasonable for what you get, and the selection is rare to find on Oahu. If you ever have the hankering for Hawaii comfort food, this is your place. Of course it's staffed by down to earth local people too. It's always a pleasure to visit. 🤙

  • 5/5 Evan F. 1 year ago on Google
    Some of the best ahi hand rolls and THE best poke bowl on island. Masa and Joyce has become a staple for musubi and hand roll stops. I haven't had an item on the menu I didn't enjoy! I am very happy to see they have gotten rid of their styrofoam containers and now use a more sustainable alternative! They are also more than happy to serve in your own containers if you bring them.

  • 5/5 Bailey O. 1 year ago on Google
    Just a great hole in the wall, local favorite place to grab and go. Everything is delicious and affordable. Highly recommend! Staff are so friendly and accommodating!

  • 5/5 Pono G. 3 years ago on Google
    Really good food it’s a hidden gem !! Found out about this place from uncle Charly, super pleased with the quality of service and delicious products. I’ll definitely try to stop by here when I’m on this side of the island.

  • 5/5 Joshua K. 1 year ago on Google
    I seem to have better luck than others here. The selection is pretty darn good, even a little after their lunch rush. Their hand rolls are so good, it’s always my go to. I plan on returning to try the chocolate chip pancakes!

  • 5/5 Valerie G. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent food, friendly service. Ordered several musubi, roll sushi, sides, boiled peanuts, plate lunch, and andagi. For my vegetarian sister we got the taro poke and she thought it was excellent (it has no fish sauce). The boiled peanuts had just the right amount of salt. The pickled vegetables in the sushi were excellent and I enjoyed how much flavor was in my inari sushi. You can tell when you walk in you will be happy because the food smells great. We will definitely be back!

  • 4/5 Elizabeth R. 11 months ago on Google
    So much selection from poke to crab cakes and other great eats. I like stopping by and grabbing hand rolls to go as a snack. The hand rolls are very yummy but the seaweed wrapping is a bit soggy? Idk it doesn’t crunch but it’s still good. Decent prices, the staff is also super helpful. The poke is alright.

    I liked my katsu bento box, but my wife thought her various ahi rolls were lacking. One thing I can say - this place seems to offer a good value 👍. Plenty of chicken in my bento box and a short wait if you're in a hurry.

  • 3/5 stephen f. 1 year ago on Google
    1st time here. Get takeout for a group of 4 picking out the following. Teriyaki chicken pieces were very hard and seemed dry altho in the Teri sauce. The noodles tasteless. Cone sushi was good. Vegetable tempura was pretty good. Corned beef hash was good. Overall found the food average. Nothing special.

    Ordered the garlic chicken katsu...not bad

  • 5/5 Margi T. 3 years ago on Google
    Parking: not too many stalls but cars come/go so you shouldn’t have to wait long. Service: staff very friendly & helpful. Just ask & they’ll direct you to the most excellent choices. Hats off to Jan (from Aiea). Very friendly & wasn’t upset when we wasn’t sure what we wanted to order. Prices: what you can expect at an Okazuya establishment. We easily spent close to $100 because we wanted to try everything. COVID practices: decals on floor to remind you to stay 6 ft apart. There’s hand sanitizers & everyone wears a mask. Food: poke bowl was a winner along with all the sushi & spam musubi we purchased. Tried the fried chicken, California rolls, teri hamburger, ahi patty, tempuras, undagi & a whole lot more. Wasn’t disappointed - everything was great. Overall - 👍 We’ll be back when we’re visiting this side of the island.

    Okazuya with plate lunch options. If you don't see something in the display case that's normally there, just ask and they usually will make it for you. I just want to order one of everything when I go here but alas. I've never been disappointed by anything I've eaten from here. The maki sushi is good, I love their variety of musubi and the California roll and spicy California roll. Parking is a little tight but depending on the timing, the cars move in and out pretty regularly.

  • 5/5 K E. 3 years ago on Google
    Popped by for some treats after the garden. I highly recommend swinging by early (not after the lunch rush). The people were friendly and helpful. The poke bowls and spam Musubi were delicious. Unlike Foodland, the ratio of spam and rice were perfect here! So many local options. Safe physical distancing practices during Covid.

  • 5/5 Mike K. 3 years ago on Google
    I hadn't had Masa & Joyce for nearly ten years. THIS is home style comfort food. The flavors are the same as when I was a kid. I recommend the hot dog and garlic chicken musubi and the marinated eggplant with shoyu chicken long rice.

  • 5/5 Mercedes F. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Zak A. 3 years ago on Google
    An unpretentious hole-in-the-wall place serving traditional Hawaiian food, okazuya, and seafood, Masa & Joyce is one of my favorite breakfast and brunch spots in Kaneohe. It always feels like such a treat to go there as the "homemade" food is so yummy. Be sure to go early as the best stuff tends to sell out fast. Parking may be a bit of a challenge as it shares the lot with a few other businesses. While I do have my go-to items, I'll refrain from mentioning them here as I've not had a bad experience with any order in all my years of patronage. So go there, go early, and enjoy the best Oahu's Windward side has to offer.

  • 5/5 Carolyn Y. 3 years ago on Google
    The okazuya has a system to handle the customer flow. Their friendly man at the door regulates the number of customers in the place and markers and arrows for social distancing and customer flow have been placed. The system works well. Food is good and the staff is friendly.👍

    Been here once before a year ago and had pleasnt experience...went for a second time today and was deliberately skipped in line and ignored by for 10 minutes. Maybe because I don't LOOK local
