Elena’s Restaurant, advertised as “the home of the finest Filipino foods,” started out 44 years ago with only six stools at a counter in a small snack shop in Waipahu. Elena Butuyan would cook meals in her kitchen at home and serve them a mile away at the old Nabarette Store on Waipahu Street, the main sugar plantation road.
