GREAT FOOD. GREAT FAMILY
Aloha and welcome! Local family owned and operated family business here on Kauai. Russell who has a construction background with over 25 years Kristen who comes from a family with over 100 years of experience. Together they have opened Leongs Meat House in 2018.
Both coming from ranch or farming family, they raised over 250 pairs of black Angus cattle with over 600 acres on Kauai. Being that they were both business minded and wanted to share their grass fed beef that they raised along with their close family and friends, they decided to share their product at local farmers markets around the island. Seeing that the community were very supported they opened Leongs Meat House. They were fortunate to have had the support of the community to be able to survive the peak of the dangerous Covid pandemic. While offering their homegrown beef, they also offered Poke and other take out Hawaiian Food.
In March of 2021 their lease was cut short with a 6 months notice to vacate their property due to the sale of the land. Not only was that their livelihood that was how they both put a roof over their heads and food on their table along with 10 of their employees on their team. It wasn't easy trying to find homes for almost 500 mothers and baby calves as well as taking down infrastructure. But with close family and friends they vacated their lease and focused their time and energy on shifting their business to more of a take out lunch spot since their grass fed beef was no longer an option. The Leongs are known for Grandma Graces Cilantro Poke. No other business offers poke with fresh cilantro. Family and friends enjoyed Russell's home cooked foods and encouraged the pair to take a leap of faith and open their second location in the Shops in Kukui ula. Stop by at any of their location to taste their version of home cooked foods.
