You know Hawaiian mac salad is made 100s of diiferent ways because of the different races in Hawaii. Many will say this is not Hawaiian mac salad becuse they think the salad should have milk mixed with the mayo and only with carrots, salt, pepper, green onions, vinegar and brown sugar, but hawaiian mac salad is like chop suey. Put anything you like in it and if you from Hawaii you can call it Hawaiian. Shaka Brah!
Different ways to make Mac salad as there are many ethnic groups who migrated to Hawaii with their own macaroni salad concoctions. I make my mothers way. I made a lot. Shared with my German friends as I’m in the central Midwest, Minnesota. When I vacation back to Maui and or Oahu, I enjoy L&L’s Mac salad. BUT now seeing this recipe, I’m gonna make this. My mouth is watering!!! I’m glad I came across the ono recipe!!! Some ono!!!
Sin City resident here also ❤ There used to be one of the best Hawaiian Restuarant's that was family owned in North Vegas across from Craig Ranch Park, I think it was called 808 ? But OMG their Mac Salad (which I think had small pieces of potato in it) had me to my knees & their Katsu, was fire, unfortunately they closed and I was extremely saddened. But thank you for this recipe cause I was always trying to find something almost close to it.
You sound like my mom when she says “no be scared to add more mayonnaise.” Lol I usually add tuna and onion. Broke da mout! Much mahalos for this video! Where in California? Aloha!
Aloha Anya! Ahh your mom know how yea haha, mayo so important in this one yea! Mahalo much for watching our videos, we appreciate it, dad's restaurant is in Taft... stay Blessed Anya... Aloha!
is it weird that I put tuna in mine? I know that there's many variations to Mac....but just thought I would put the question out there. Lol. can't wait to try this version out!
Tuna is a great addition to any Mac salad… shredded chicken etc all lends well but this is a basic version for restaurant use… Have a very Blessed Christmas! Aloha!
I have made a Hawaiian potato Mac salad before and it was BOMB!!! This recipe seems so basic....but the good kind of “less is more” basic, you know?! I feel like I can smell it through the screen! Haha Sent hubby to the store to get the ingredients ❤️❤️❤️ thank you! God bless!!
Again thank you much Kristina! hope you will like it and it is simple, I get a lot of comments to add stuff like tuna and shredded chicken, and if I make for home use I would put all kine stuff inside but for restaurant use, gotta be simple and cost friendly... again stay Blessed Kristina, talk soon... Aloha!
Aloha Bradah, this is awesome and the first video that show a “Real Hawaiian Mac Salad”.......Mahalo’s, you have the all the rights tips on the amount of mayonnaise, the brand of mayonnaise also mention how there are many variations of this Mac salad in Hawaii... Enjoying you saying...”Um” ;)))) Btw where is your restaurant, we want to stop by and kaukau n give u one big hug! Aloha n God Bless🌸🌸💕
Are you still open in Las Vegas? My husband and his family are from Oahu. I made chicken katsu and Hawaiian mac salad yesterday. Reminded him of home. My in-laws now live in Vegas but looking to move near us in Texas soon.
Hi Kristin, no I am a retired corp exec chef for Marriott international and just took care of many different properties, I do live in vegas and cali back and forth but my dad has a restaurant in cali and family has restaurants back home in Hawaii... mmm katsu and mac salad! sounds ono! stay Blessed K... Aloha!
Thank you for sharing this! I'm making it right now and keep watching the video for ingredient amounts. I'm sure you do it to taste, but can you tell me amounts for the; kosher salt, black pepper and garlic powder? I'm tasting mine now and I'm afraid I eyeballed too much salt.
Hi Wendil67, yes salt is to taste, but please remember that the mayo is salty in itself so if you see we hardly add any salt, pepper on the other hand can be as much as you like, black pepper adds a nice taste to mac salad and granulated garlic is just couple of pinches for our two pounds of pasta, you just want enough so people will wonder what that taste is without knowing it's garlic (hope that makes sense)... hope that helps a little and always remember with salt, you can always add more but you "cannot" remove... Stay Blessed and thank you for watching our videos... Aloha!
Hi J, um i dont know because to us this is traditional but if you mean like mainland style, it doesn't have vinegar and ours has eggs... hope that helps... stay Blessed... Aloha!
Aloha D, if refrigerated well, (34-37F) 4 to 5 days will be fine, you might have to add more mayo everyday but it should be "servable", we have eaten for family meal well over a week old, as long as no one sticks their fingers in it or uses a dirty spoon you should be fine. In our restaurant settings though we make smaller batches every couple of days. Mahalo for the question and watching our video, stay Blessed... Aloha!
ALOHA my braddah!! I understand that you don’t have a restaurant in Vegas, so, where in Cali is your dads restaurant?? I live in Long Beach, CA...is it close by? By da way brah...good video...ALOHA!!
Aloha Roger! It's kinda far from you, dad has a restaurant in Taft CA. by Bakersfield... no ask me how one Kauai boy open one restaurant in Taft but he been there around 42 years haha... if you ever out that way go check him out... It's called the Ranch House... stay Blessed bruddah Roger... Aloha!

I'm not sure what recipe you are referring too but this was our mothers recipe for as long as I can remember 45+ years... hope that helps... stay Blessed Susie... Aloha!
Hi Prisc, I don't think this particular recipe will be good with white wine or apple cider vinegar, but I know of many mac salad recipes that call for those ingredients, let us know if you want some recipes that are vinegar based and i'll forward a few good ones that I know of... Stay Blessed, Aloha!
@@89Prisc Hi Prisc, try this one... it is from one of the restaurants we take care of in Las Vegas... Hope you like it... stay Blessed... Aloha! 1 package (16 ounces) elbow macaroni 1 cup mayonnaise 3 to 4 tablespoons 2% milk 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar 1 tablespoon sugar 1-1/2 teaspoons salt 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1/4 teaspoon pepper 1 small sweet yellow, orange or red pepper, finely chopped 1 small green pepper, finely chopped 1 small onion, finely chopped 1 celery rib, finely chopped 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
Hi Jr. make sure your macaroni is super dry and cooled, that is the only thing i can think of if your mayo broke, when we make mac salad we usually make the mac the day before and refrigerate before we mix, also make sure eggs is well chilled too... let me know if that helped... Stay Blessed... Aloha!
Sorry for the late reply, our restaurants were located in California but I was a Corp Chef for Marriott international, I retired 4yrs ago, sorry, stay Blessed
Hi M, we always use granulated garlic... it seems to work best, try not to use fresh chopped garlic because it will be too strong... hope that helps... Stay Blessed... Aloha!
Hi Nicole, yes it should be cooled as best as you can before mixing, we usually chill in cooler before mixing... it also helps that the mac is as dry as possible before mixing too. Hope that helps... Stay Blessed... Aloha!
Hey Marcus, no restaurant in Vegas, I am a corp chef that travels from property to property, I just make these videos for fun at my dad's place in Cali or from the different kitchens I inspect... Stay Blessed Marcus... Aloha!

Aloha @@hapahawaiianchef, thank you for your recipes and answering my question. I thought you may have owned Lefty J's in Vegas. I enjoy Hawaiian style foods and now I can continue to have these dishes since I'm no longer there. Your recipes are very helpful. Be Blessed. Aloha
we actually tried it with spam out of the can without frying and it was good! like a meal in itself haha... let me know if you try fried spam... stay Blessed Kristina... Aloha!
Hapa Hawaiian I ended up just making it the way you made it in this video. At first I was thinking 🤔 this seems like too much mayo... but by the next day when it had all incorporated and soaked into the pasta.... it was incredible. No wonder you all have used the same recipe for so long!!! It’s AMAZING!!! Thank you for sharing this gem of a recipe.
@@hapahawaiianchef I was thinking about SPAM in here! That might be the universal dish on a hot day, you know? Enjoyed the video, just made a big bowl full and put it in the fridge.
Hi Cecelia, it's just salt pepper and granulated garlic... very little of the latter, and watch the salt because mayo is salty itself... hope that helps... Stay Blessed... Aloha!
Hi Ana, it's just a style of mac salad that is commonly made in Hawaii, it's like anything... what makes pizza New York style or deep dish Chicago style pizza... same principle... hope that helps... stay Blessed... Aloha
Hi Msilva... we do not have any restaurants in Vegas... I am a corp chef and travel to different properties around the country, some videos are made in the kitchens that we take care of and some at my dads restaurant in Cali... stay Blessed Msilva... Aloha!
Hi Diana, that's a couple of ingredients i haven't tried yet... I would make the recipe and take a little out and try it with them to see how you like it... I think it would be fine... let us know... stay Blessed... Aloha!
You'd be surprised how many people are allergic to onion in the states. Basic is always best for restaurants that way everyone can enjoy it. -Restaurant owner
Aloha Lee, actually yes I have seen that before since moving to the mainland, I notice a lot of people include olives with their mac salad... there is just so many ways to prepare mac salad and no one way is wrong or correct... hope you enjoy our version... Stay Blessed... Aloha!
Aloha Chili B, so in the video we started with 2lbs of dry macaroni, when mixing I used around 1/2 tbls. Kosher salt... 1/2tsp. Granulated garlic and around 2tbls. Black pepper... Hope that helps... stay Blessed... Aloha!
Hi Annika, through out the video I have the ingredients but here is it, I used two pounds dry macaroni along with eggs but since I used very small eggs you can use at least eight large eggs, 1 small shredded carrot, pinch of granulated garlic, black pepper and salt to taste and best food mayo, try two cups first then adjust to your liking... hope that helps... stay Blessed... Aloha!
Aloha Keale, so if you stay home in Hawaii or someplace you can get Okinawan sweet potatoes, (you know the purple ones) try steaming then cool and cut up and add to this mac salad recipe...ONO! let me know how you like it when you try... Stay Blessed Keale... Aloha!
Aloha Charlotte, in the video we are using 2lbs of pasta and I use just around 3/4tsp of granulated garlic... hope that helps... Stay Blessed... Aloha!
Gotta smh at all the folks that want to change your recipe. You told 'em how you make it and they can experiment all they want, free country. Add anything. How about a can of fruit cocktail, some hot dog slices, jalapeños, pork & beans, pepperoni and crumbled potato chips on top.Ya never know....might be a winner.
it's just a term, it's the way our Hawaiian family was making this mac salad for as long as I can remember, it's like what makes a pizza a Chicago style deep dish or a cheese stk sandwich Philly, it's just a term, stay Blessed Jeffrey... Aloha!
Hawaiian style mac salad has many different versions and is a basic mac salad... without white onions or celery... no rhyme or reason... stay Blessed Lisa... Aloha!
Hawaiian salt is just another type of rock salt from the ocean, although we use Alaea salt which is produced in Kauai and has volcanic clay mixed in giving the salt a sweet earthy flavor... hope that helps... Stay Blessed Clint... Aloha!
Aloha Ferdinand, no vinegar in this recipe... I do know of different recipes that call for vinegar but this one does not... stay Blessed Ferdinand... Aloha!

Love hawaiian patato salad add green onion and celery...bomb!
This looks so good, definitely making it. I've seen recipes where they say to soak ty he macaroni in apple cider viniger.
Yes I have seen that too... there is just so many ways to do mac salad... I hope you enjoy this version... stay Blessed... Aloha!
I have made Mac-salad with apple cider vinegar. It’s acquired taste because the Apple cider vinegar is strong.
Why not PALM vinegar? Something like that? Rice vinegar? Apple cider doesn't sound like an island kind of thing!
Yeayou! Moanalua/Salt Lake transplant to Vegas here. Love the videos Braddah!

-Restaurant owner
I like to grate a tiny bit of onion and add a couple tablespoons of milk to make it silky. Otherwise, this is pretty much my recipe, too.
DELISH! We added some sweet grated onion, too!
Do you know anyone who adds a bit of sugar and vinegar for some tang?
Aloha Lee, actually yes I have seen that before since moving to the mainland, I notice a lot of people include olives with their mac salad... there is just so many ways to prepare mac salad and no one way is wrong or correct... hope you enjoy our version... Stay Blessed... Aloha!
does anyone have the measurements for the garlic, salt, pepper? How much of each do I put in? Thanks
Aloha Chili B, so in the video we started with 2lbs of dry macaroni, when mixing I used around 1/2 tbls. Kosher salt... 1/2tsp. Granulated garlic and around 2tbls. Black pepper... Hope that helps... stay Blessed... Aloha!

is this andy bamatai
Many recipes add apple cider vinegar and milk
Is that the norm?
There is so many ways to make mac salad... this is our version, give it a try I think you will enjoy it... stay Blessed
Where is all the measurements I want to make this
Hi Annika, through out the video I have the ingredients but here is it, I used two pounds dry macaroni along with eggs but since I used very small eggs you can use at least eight large eggs, 1 small shredded carrot, pinch of granulated garlic, black pepper and salt to taste and best food mayo, try two cups first then adjust to your liking... hope that helps... stay Blessed...

Aloha, do you have a potato Mac salad? You don't just add potatoes do you?
Aloha Keale, so if you stay home in Hawaii or someplace you can get Okinawan sweet potatoes, (you know the purple ones) try steaming then cool and cut up and add to this mac salad recipe...ONO! let me know how you like it when you try... Stay Blessed Keale... Aloha!
How much garlic please
Aloha Charlotte, in the video we are using 2lbs of pasta and I use just around 3/4tsp of granulated garlic... hope that helps... Stay Blessed... Aloha!
Ok wanna see Katsu chicken now.
soon warmachine soon, Stay Blessed Bruddah... Aloha!
Gotta smh at all the folks that want to change your recipe. You told 'em how you make it and they can experiment all they want, free country. Add anything. How about a can of fruit cocktail, some hot dog slices, jalapeños, pork & beans, pepperoni and crumbled potato chips on top.Ya never know....might be a winner.
People want to add this and that, as they add eggs, extra spices, and miss some seasoning and prep.
Only best foods
I’d bet a small amount of pineapple chunks would be a kick too
I trust your word but not sure what makes this Hawaiian? Seems pretty basic and simple.
it's just a term, it's the way our Hawaiian family was making this mac salad for as long as I can remember, it's like what makes a pizza a Chicago style deep dish or a cheese stk sandwich Philly, it's just a term, stay Blessed Jeffrey... Aloha!
Hawaiian Style Macaroni salad and no Pineapple?? What makes it Hawaiian??
Hi Thomas... it's just a basic version of what we make in Hawaii... you can add anything you like... Stay Blessed... Aloha!
Yes black paper all the way
add brown sugar and apple cider vinegar..
So…what makes it Hawaiian? This is just like my mom’s macaroni salad, except she uses white onions instead of scallions, and adds some celery.
??????
Hawaiian style mac salad has many different versions and is a basic mac salad... without white onions or celery... no rhyme or reason... stay Blessed Lisa... Aloha!
I don't think it's a historic Hawaiian food so much as something that's very popular IN Hawaii?
No pineapple!?
Haha you can put anything you like! … stay Blessed Matt and happy New Year
Never heard of hawaiin salt
Hawaiian salt is just another type of rock salt from the ocean, although we use Alaea salt which is produced in Kauai and has volcanic clay mixed in giving the salt a sweet earthy flavor... hope that helps... Stay Blessed Clint... Aloha!
No vinegar? Not even a little?
Aloha Ferdinand, no vinegar in this recipe... I do know of different recipes that call for vinegar but this one does not... stay Blessed Ferdinand... Aloha!
