Welcome to Rebel Kitchen

Home of Kona Ketchup, Hawaiian Fire Sauce, and Mauka Mustard

Founded in 2011 by a husband-and-wife duo, we are a family-owned restaurant in the small town of Kainaliu on Hawaii Island. We believe in making real food, packed with flavor. Everything is prepared fresh in-house, sourcing locally from Big Island farmers, butchers, and fishermen as much as possible. Whether you stop by the restaurant for our globally-inspired plates, or order our signature small-batch sauces online, we pack every bite with big, bold flavor and a whole lot of love. Mahalo for visiting!
