Nestled at the base of the Ko'olau Mountains, Haleiwa Joe's Haiku Gardens offers a serene and picturesque setting for both weddings and dining. The venue features beautiful botanical gardens and an open-air Tahitian Chapel, providing dreamy backdrops for intimate ceremonies. Couples can choose from various wedding packages, ranging from minimalist options to comprehensive packages with added services like a ceremony musician and wedding planner.
The food was delicious our party ordered Coconut Shrimp, Prime rib, Steak and Salmon. The service was very good. We had a ten minute wait to be seated. The restaurant opens at 4pm and closes at 9pm. We arrived and got in line at 3:20. There is beautiful view from every table. The garden downstairs is very green with beautiful flowers and trees around it. This area would be lovely for an event.

We went here at 430 pm on a Friday as a couple and got seated within 30 minutes. Walking in there was a weird smell like years-old mildew under the carpets. It was unbearable. Luckily we got sat on the outside part of the restaurant. The bread and appetizers were good, nothing special though. The crab dip tasted mostly like cream cheese. Both entrees were flavorless. I had the lamb papardelle and the sauce on it was just some oil. I needed a few hefty pinches of salt on top of the dish to get and semblance of flavor out of it. The roasted chicken was juicy at least, but still not an ounce of seasoning, luckily the pineapple and veggies with it had flavor. Finally, the drinks were tasty, but that is because they were mostly mixer/juice/sugar. For as expensive as they were I would expect more alcohol in them. I would save your time, money, and nostrils by going somewhere else.

Haleiwa Joe’s at Haiku Gardens is truly a gem! The food is outstanding — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The views overlooking the gardens and mountains are breathtaking, making the whole experience unforgettable. The staff provides excellent customer service, always friendly and attentive, which really adds to the warm atmosphere. The only downside is the wait time for seating, but once you’re in, it’s absolutely worth it. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a perfect mix of great food, stunning scenery, and top-notch service!

This place was a gem in the jungle. I went there with a group of 6 on a weeknight. We only waited maybe 30 min before we were seated in a table. In the mean time we were able to get served drinks by a bar top table. We were seated in the middle of the restaurant and was very easy to have a conversation, as it wasn't too loud. I ordered the Ceviche and the table side steak dish with a berry creme brulee desert. The table side steak with gravy smelled and tasted amazing. It was cooked a perfect med-rare per my request. The ceviche was fresh and delicious and the creme brulee had a great flavor with a nice crust. To top it all off the view and the service was top notch. Highly recommend this place.

What an amazing experience. We came early because they don't take reservations. Got here at 3:20 on a Saturday because they open at 4. We were seated in the first group as soon as they opened. Ambience and scenery is amazing! Service top notch and the food was exquisite! I had the pork Loin special and the wife had the grilled blue marlin special. Perfect cook on both. Cocktails were great. I will definitely be back for the prime rib. The price turned me off at $74.95 until I saw it come out. The cut is between 2 and 3 pounds per serving! It was enormous! The restaurant is about a half hour drive from Honolulu, so very pleasant experience all around. Don't sleep on this one!
Alex A — Google review
They don't take reservations, so we had to wait about a half hour to be seated. The service was good, I only say that because the server forgot a couple of items. Maybe that was a good thing since there was so much food. The food came out pretty quick after we ordered. The prime rib is huge. The New York steak with the bourbon finish was flavorful. We were so full after dessert. Will be going again for sure.
Wes T — Google review
Wow, between this and the North Shore restaurant, this place definitely has the better atmosphere and view. The menu is almost the same, but the garden and mountain backdrop make the experience extra special. They don’t take reservations, so it’s best to arrive early. I also liked that they had a separate seating area for appetizers and drinks while we waited, which was a nice touch since the wait for a group was pretty long.

Haleiwa Joe’s in Haiku is a beautiful spot surrounded by lush greenery—it feels like you're dining right in the middle of a tropical garden. The views alone make it worth the visit, especially around sunset. The food is excellent. The steak is a good size and cooked just right, and the seafood is fresh and flavorful. Drinks are strong and tasty, and the staff is friendly and attentive even when it's packed. It does get busy, so getting there early is a good idea since they don’t take reservations. While you wait, you can walk around the garden and enjoy the scenery. Great place for a relaxed dinner with friends and family.

Chinese restaurant
Pah Ke's Chinese Restaurant is a hidden gem located in a lesser-known strip mall along the Kam Highway in Kaneohe. This unassuming restaurant offers a mix of traditional and Hawaiian-spun Chinese dishes, with an extensive menu that caters to various preferences. The establishment prides itself on serving MSG-free flavors and providing terrific service in its large banquet-style interior. Whether dining in for lunch or dinner, patrons can expect delicious, fresh food without any added MSG or extra ingredients to boost flavors.
What a treat to find some authentic Chinese food that isn’t full of extra ingredients to boost flavors. Just good quality food. Hot and sour soup with spectacular and the Szechuan beef with amazing.
Albert O — Google review
The reason they get two stars is because their hot and sour soup was OK. I also ordered lettuce wraps and for close to $11 got like an ounce of beef and three tiny lettuce leaves. The meat was cold and a bit crunchy as if it had been heated and reheated. I am not going to eat anything from here again.

We miss eating dinner there but relish the ability to take out and drive home(8 min. drive ) Pah Ke is the only Chinese restaurant that truly reminds us of being back in Queens NYC where we use to live. We loved having two Chinatowns to go to. One in Manhattan and the other in Flushing Queens. Pah Ke fits the bill. Lately we found one special dish that is in our top three of ALL Hawaiian restaurant dishes. It’s their Sole in Black Bean Sauce. Perfectly cooked fish that flakes out in a truly moist manner. The black bean sauce is amazingly balanced. The staff has the true Aloha Spirit.

This has been a must stop whenever I've been on that side of the island for many years now. No MSG and fresh food always the best. Extensive menu but you can always ask if you have a favorite not listed. More times than not they can make it. Their duck is the best on the island! Absolutely love this place.

Guests have praised the attentive service of hosts and waitresses like Brandy and Chelsey, who go above and beyond to ensure a memorable visit.

How much meat can you eat in 90 minutes? Find out here! Smokeless BBQ right on your table. Cook it up, and eat it without delay. Meat all prepared and marinated- ready to place on the grill. Seafood & vegetarian options. Kids menu. Finish with choice of desserts 🍨 I'm sure you will return here. It's best!

We were going to try the all-you-can-eat, but instead went with the chef’s choice BBQ course. It came to $95 for the two of us. The meat quality was excellent very tender and delicious! The miso soup was a bit disappointing, but everything else was very satisfying. They gave us a big portion of kimchi. Oh, and the bibimbap had a slight buttery taste to it.

Came here for some good food and was not dissatisfied! Great portions, good flavors, incredibly friendly waitress (great job Bella!) and a full stomach. The beef sukiyaki bibimbap was delicious and something I’d definitely eat again. My daughters had the garlic noodles and spring rolls and enjoyed them a lot. We’ll be back for sure!

My and my wife went there for lunch. It was my first time and I was really excited. My wife however, had been to Gyu-Kaku a few times in the past. Our server mentioned that we could eat all we wanted (based on the package we selected), but if the food were left over, we’d need to pay for it, which we found fair. The quantity was fine and we didn’t have any leftovers. However, I liked just 25% of the items we ordered and didn’t like others. Specially, it was very difficult for us to cook the meat on the grill because it kept sticking and getting burnt. We did ask our server to grease it again but that didn’t help. Overall, I’d say you can go there for a good experience but you can probably get better food somewhere else.

We love this place. They were so efficient about the vaccine mandate info gathering. The staff is really helpful and friendly. Cooking at your own table is really cool. All of the meat was so tender and flavorful. We were able to order some of our meats on the Happy Hour menu and that saved us some money. But of course, we just used it to order dessert! We highly recommend this restaurant.

We ordered from the Premium menu and found that the filet mignon and the HARAMI SKIRT STEAK were our favorite. We also ordered the dumplings which were soooo good they just dissolve in your mouth.

Adela’s Country Eatery is a popular spot in Kaneohe, HI known for its unique and delicious homemade noodles made from local ingredients like taro, avocado, breadfruit, and moringa. The eatery offers a variety of Asian and American dishes as well as house-baked surprises. Despite being busy, the friendly service and massive portions make it worth the wait.
Adela’s Country Eatery is legit! Their homemade noodles are amazing — super fresh and chewy. We got several dishes to try and everything was so good. Portions are huge and definitely worth the price. The staff was super nice too. If you’re in the area, definitely check them out! I recommend calling ahead to place your order because parking can be a bit tricky. We’ve ordered from them a few times now and they never disappoint when it comes to flavor. I even bought a bunch of noodles to give to my family because it’s just that good. No surprise they’ve won awards over the years — they totally deserve it!

The food here was so good I had to come back a second time! Between both visits we tried four dishes, including three of the four most popular pasta combinations. What makes this place special is the ability to build your own pasta by choosing your noodle, sauce, and toppings—or you can pick one of their signature combinations. Out of everything we tried, the absolute stars were the Morning Sauce and the Coconut Cream Sauce. Both are insanely delicious and completely addictive. Honestly, I’m not sure how much the noodle choice really changes the experience, but these sauces are unforgettable. The toppings were fine, but the sauces completely stole the show. We also had the ube cheesecake, which was excellent—definitely worth saving room for. The only dish that didn’t wow me was the braised short ribs and portobello pasta combination—good, but nothing special compared to everything else. On top of the great food, the service was just as memorable. The lady who took our order was so kind, patient, and helpful—she explained everything and answered all our questions with a smile. I can’t recommend this place enough. If you’re in Oahu, this is a must-visit. I’m already telling all my friends about it!

10/10. The garlic shrimp ube pasta exceeded expectations … and the shrimp tails are detached …. We’re from Texas and they don’t do that at ANY PLACE…. That’s a cherry on top for us…. But I’m not a cheesecake connoisseur but the guava cheesecake was subtle and pretty decent. Customer service was amazing. No wait honestly we called when we’re 6 minutes away for the pasta and it was ready when we got there . We did go at 2:30 pm on Wednesday. Everything looked fully stocked . Glad we came here . I can tell the way this pasta is … was seasoned just enough , not salty or too much of anything . The portions were out of the …. You should share … me and my husband shared and still don’t finish .

Straight 🔥🔥🔥 Beautifully crafted dishes with unique ingredients. I love the lechon with malunggay noodles which my friend ordered 🤤🤤 and the taro noodles with mushroom, shrimp, and coconut cream sauce (#2 ordered mild spicy which was little tiny spice added) was definitely more on the savory side than the lechon pasta and also delicious. I don't think you could go wrong with anything you order here. Next time I will try dessert. Large selection. Beautiful food. It gets busy and they do run out of things so come early if can. One thing to note is no seating available and takeout only😊

If you're just visiting Oahu, Adela's Country Eatery is the type of place that will make you want to stay forever. Yes - it is just THAT good. If you're wondering whether it's worth the drive, or the wait, or the awkwardness of calling ahead (which I recommend) - I'm here to help: it is 100% worth it. Go, meet Adela (she's real sweet!), and have an amazing meal. My family had a veritable feast with the Taro Noodles w/ Shrimp & Coconut Cream Special, Ulu Noodles w/ Garlic & Portobello Mushrooms, Ube Noodles w/ Braised Short Rib, the Lechon Mulunggay, and 4 cheesecakes (2 Ube, 2 Guava). We all shared family style and let me tell you, this was a dangerous meal - almost got stabbed with a fork many times trying to get more bites of my favorites! My favorites being the Taro/Shrimp/Coconut Cream and Ulu/Garlic/Portobello but I don't know if you can really go wrong here. Enjoy!
Sade O — Google review
This is a takeout spot, no place to sit. Prices seem high, but noodles and sauces are from scratch, and portions large and filling. Had one of their popular specials, the ube noodles with lechon and garlic. 2 adults couldn't finish it. A great break from the standard plate lunch of meat n rice, yet flavors are still very Hawaiian Fast ordering, and then stand outside or grab a cold drink nearby (or browse the sex shop next door 🤫).

We came here 10 years ago it was great, and then 6 years ago not so great, and this time was horrible we were hoping it would be better by now. Then they expect a tip and get annoyed. You asking for one has prompted this review they are voluntarily - I’m sorry but it’s your boss who pays you not customers we pay for the food, you can’t expect us to pay premium prices for a meal and then more ontop when you don’t even have the menu in stock or ran out (so after years waiting to eat Denny’s u don’t have the menu meal) It means bad management. Ended with this, but is this Toasted really?

We love this place! We stay at the Imperial on Lewers so this is right off the lobby. The staff are wonderful! The waitress we always have calls all the women "My Lady" and the men "Boss". She is so funny. Yesterday I had the Grandslamwich and it was excellent and my husband had the French toast, also very good. In addition we shared a slice of fresh papya and I had the ice coffee. Both were delicious. They do get busy so if you have to wait a bit, it's worth it.

Kaneohe Pancake House is a popular local diner that has been family-owned and operated since 1988. It offers generous portions of classic breakfast dishes, brunch, and lunch options. The restaurant exudes an old-school charm with its friendly service and welcoming atmosphere. Customers rave about the crab cake eggs Benedict, full stack of pancakes, corned beef hash, Portuguese sausage and eggs, as well as the fried rice special with Spam.
We love Kaneohe Pancake House! I have been coming here since the early 1990s with my Dad and since 2018 I bring my kids here when we come out to visit family. We visit multiple mornings on our week long trips because it is just THAT good! My kids love the chocolate chip pancakes and each devour a 3 count stack. I have always gotten the blueberry crepes and they are the best I have found! The food is always the same- delicious! The coffee is soo good and we always get friendly service. Go early for parking and no wait!

Found this little hometown diner while looking for lunch on our way to the Polynesian Culture Center. The atmosphere was your typical hometown restaurant vibe with local diners and Christmas music and decor. The service was mixed. Very fast to seat us, take our order and bring our food. And the guy who took our drink order and cleared the table was very friendly. The server who took our order and brought our food may have been having a bad day but she seemed annoyed with our questions about the menu. They wouldn’t let us put Ube pancakes with our combo plate and said we would have to order a separate short stack if we wanted to try them. She seemed irritated when we asked for a bit of extra dressing as well. The prices were typical for other places we have been on Oahu. They did have a good variety on their menu. The food was good. The blueberry pancakes were fluffy and the blueberries were plentiful. The portions were good for the pancakes (3 large) but pretty small amount of Spam and eggs for the price. The chef salad was delicious but also pretty small for the price. Overall I’d still recommend them if you want a local favorite.

This restaurant has become a local favorite, so I was excited to visit and see if their breakfast lived up to the hype. As is often the case in Hawaiʻi, the breakfast portions are generous and feel more like a full brunch. Parking Finding a parking spot proved to be a bit of a challenge right outside the restaurant, but we found plenty of street parking just a block away. We were seated within a few minutes and were immediately impressed by how attentive the staff was. Our host quickly cleared and bussed a table for us, and our drink orders were taken right away. Drinks We ordered two green teas, and our server made sure our mugs were always full. While the service was great, I was a little disappointed to see that they used a generic Kirkland brand tea. It would be a nice touch to see a local tea purveyor on the menu to further elevate the dining experience. Food I've dedicated my life to cooking, so I'm a stickler when it comes to ordering. I wanted to try what I thought were the most notable dishes on the menu: the crab cake benedict and the ube pancakes. Our food arrived in about 15 minutes, and both plates were beautifully presented. The crab cake benedict was a delicious take on a French classic, with a Hawaiian twist. The flavors were mostly on point; however, the hollandaise was a little more sour than I would have liked. The potatoes were served hot, but I thought the crab cake could have been a little crispier to add more texture to the dish. The ube pancakes were nice to see . The vibrant purple hue of the pancakes and ube butter was impressive, topped with a delicate dusting of powdered sugar. As a professional, I know that ube, a purple yam, is most interesting for its texture and color. While the presentation was great, the flavor was average and overshadowed by the powerful color. Overall experience Our dining experience was swift and efficient. The two servers and one host worked together to run the entire dining room, and we were presented with our check soon after we finished eating. For $51 plus tip, it was a fair price for a good meal and great service. Overall, this restaurant offers a satisfying meal with quick and attentive service. While there were a few minor details in the food that could be improved, the experience was pleasant and I would recommend it for anyone looking for a hearty brunch.

Dean's Drive Inn is a vibrant counter-serve spot known for its Hawaiian cuisine, such as ahi cakes and teriyaki burgers. It's a tiny authentic Hawaiian drive-in where you can savor fresh fish dishes like pan-fried ono. The place offers quick service through their drive-thru, making it convenient for grabbing a meal on the go.
Really great food. Worth the wait from when you call in. I recommend calling before hand so you can go through the drive through when you got there. My boyfriend got the surf and turf meal with teriyaki beef and ahi tuna cake and I got the striped marlin lunch plate which was a special dish of the day. We really enjoyed our meals and the staff we were in contact with were very friendly :) I would 10/10 eat here again.

Great local style food! Portions are a good size, and prices are good for what you get. Their ahi cakes have raving reviews but I was a little underwhelmed. Don’t get me wrong, they are good but not as good as I was expecting. Their fries are good and the teri beef is super good! Highly recommend the beef. Quick service. Will be back!

This place is what was featured in Guy Fieri's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. It truly has ono local food. In this pic is one of the occasional specials known as Ahi Belly. I get it every other time I'm there. It has a great buttery taste that makes me want to go back for more. The atmosphere is quite relaxed and there is plenty of seating for families and groups of friends.

It was good. I tried the loco moco. The meat patty is well-done, so it is thoroughly cooked. They do not allow people to dine-in so I had to eat outside in front of the building. It's best to call ahead and place your order before pick up. Time is limited to specific hours for lunch (11:00 am to 2:30 pm). There is also limited parking. It seems to busy during lunch hours, people seem to stop by, pick up their meals, and then leave.

Italian restaurant
Nestled in a charming neighborhood, Zia's Caffe is the quintessential Italian bistro that effortlessly combines a cozy ambiance with a casual dining experience. Known for its classic pizza and pasta offerings, this eatery has become a beloved spot for both lunch and dinner. The menu showcases an array of traditional dishes like spaghetti and meatballs, lasagna, and chicken parmesan—all crafted from high-quality ingredients sourced locally whenever possible.
We visited a cute little Italian café, and the food was delicious! We shared the cedar shola clams and the white mushroom pizza, along with some house bread. We sat on the outdoor deck, but just a heads-up—be careful of the wild chickens, as they might jump up unexpectedly. Other than that, everything was fantastic!

Great atmosphere and vibe, for sure! Covered Patio has best tables. Chicken Parmesan was served over noodles with basil butter but was too dry overall. Express spaghetti was tasty and larger portion than expected. Friendly staff. Lots of parking.

We visited Zia’s Caffe right after it opened on October 14, and it was one of the best meals we had in Hawaii! The food was absolutely delicious, and the waiter was incredibly kind and professional — you could really feel how proud he was of his work. As visitors from Asia, we’re not very familiar with the tipping culture, so I wasn’t sure if my tip went through properly, and it’s been on my mind ever since. Honestly, this is the kind of restaurant where I’d be happy to give a 100% tip — it was that good!

Where do I start? The spot itself is dirty, poorly lit, falling apart, ants everywhere, and HOT. We were dripping in sweat the entire time. Was the AC even on, or is the owner trying to $kimp on that, too? It was so uncomfortably hot. Or maybe it was just our body reacting to the horrible food. We ordered four dishes and ended up only eating about 1/3 of them because our stomachs couldn’t handle it anymore. The chips were stale. The ribeye steak was not only tiny (maybe 5 oz) but so chewy and bland… oh, and it cost over $30!!! The chimichanga was too salty. The beef quesadilla was way too seasoned and greasy. The nachos were probably the worst, a plate full of fried stale tortillas dripping in oil with maybe a handful of toppings. I get everything is expensive in Hawaii, but this place is ridiculously overpriced for the quality of food and lack of AC you’re getting. I’m kicking my butt for craving nachos because it ended up costing us over $100 and a sick belly. We made it home just in time to run to the bathroom (after stopping at Adela’s for a cheesecake). I think we were charged for the ants all over our napkins too… Disclaimer: I’m Mexican, but I really like Mexican American food. Avoid this place. If you’re in Kaneohe and have over $100 to spend on dinner, try Haleiwa Joes instead. You won’t be disappointed.

It looks like very small from outside but is spacious inside. Really liked the steak. It was a little salty. Other than that, it was great. A big size and affordable price. Service was good. Interior makes you feel like you are in Mexico. Mexican music, Mexican design, and style will welcome you. Food comes to your table faster than McDonald's or KFC. But not enough parking vene though it was free. Overall, it was a good experience. The tip starts from 15%.

Now called Javi’s. Food was great! The waitress was super nice and attentive. The food came out fast, hot, and fresh. I wish the queso dip wasn’t over $12, but the other dishes are reasonably priced.

Authentic Mexican food, with authentic decoration, Marcelo the chef is from Mexico and he knows what he's doing, outstanding customer service, very likable and professional, she remembered my choice of soda after my first visit a week later, food gets to your table faster than any other place, it taste amazing, and the sizes are more than you'll eat! The chimichanga and the fajitas are amazing but the campeon burrito is something else, you'll eat only half and tahe the other half home! Oh and did i say chips and salsa are free? This is the best salsa i tried in the island, and it is the most affordable place you'll find!.

After a day of food trucks, it was nice to go to a comfortable and clean sit down restaurant with a pleasant bathroom and tables to sit at. The horchata was yummy, as well as the chips & salsa. The food was solid; however, everything seemed to lack seasoning, which made it hard to enjoy. Our friend, who is Mexican, was very disappointed that it lacked the “certain Mexican flavors you can count on.” I got three seafood tacos: crab, fish & shrimp. They were good, but bland. My husband and friend got the Carné Asada and it actually came out looking like a fatty steak, not a good steak-definitely not what we would expect. We also ordered the guacamole and it was pretty much the same; it was good, but bland. So, would I recommend El Mariachi? Yes, I would, especially if you’re just wanting a solid place to eat that is not fast food or a food truck; one where you can be comfortable and relax for a bit. The food is safe; you won’t have to worry about food poisoning. The food will satisfy and fill you up.

Chinese restaurant
Cantonese restaurant
Kin Wah Chop Suey is a spacious and family-friendly Chinese restaurant located in Kaneohe, Hawaii. It's known for serving up the finest Chinese food on the windward side of Oahu. The restaurant offers a casual dining experience and is popular among locals and visitors alike. Some of their popular dishes include Boneless Minute Chicken Cake Noodles and Almond Duck with sweet and sour sauce.
Kin Wah Chop Suey offers a mostly fantastic experience, with this visit having mixed results. The minute chicken with cake noodle is definitely the star of the show - absolutely worth the visit! The crispy gau gee, especially when paired with shoyu & hot mustard sauce, is a delightful treat. Downsides include the Mongolian beef, which was disappointingly chewy and mediocre. The chicken with broccoli was decent but lacks the punch of flavor found in the minute chicken dish. On the plus side, the fresh hot tea is a delightful touch that enhances the dining experience. Parking can be a bit challenging, so plan accordingly. Despite some inconsistencies, the standout dishes make this spot worth checking out for Chinese-American cuisine fans. Pro tip: Stick to the minute chicken and cake noodle, and don't miss the crispy gau gee with those amazing dipping sauces!

I was very disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. This was the first Chinese restaurant I’ve visited where the food quality was notably poor. The chicken and broccoli with brown sauce tasted old and unappealing, and the Kung Pao chicken was not only poorly prepared but also bore little resemblance to a traditional Kung Pao dish. The honey garlic chicken was below average, and the fried rice was equally underwhelming. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this restaurant based on my experience. FYI, the photo below is supposed to be kung pao chicken, never have I seen Kung Pao Chicken look like this..

First the parking is slim. Second it's very loud & filthy. Third the food was nasty & cold. We ordered sweet & sour pork that looked & tasted stale from sitting in freezer long time. It mostly consisted of just thick crust sitting on top of sauce with cold canned pineapple on top. The chow mein was drenched in sweet gravy. Basically pre made processed junk food. It's been awhile since we've been out to eat because restaurants are just no good anymore. We're done going out. I miss the whole experience but it's just not worth the $ anymore.

I was in Hawaii for 30 days and I must have ate here nearly twice a week. I really wish I discovered this place earlier. I am from the Bay area, so I live near Oakland and SF Chinatown. The food here at Kin Wah is far superior than anything I can get back at home. I know it sounds crazy, but Chinese food hasn't been the same for the last 10 years plus here in the Bay area. The Chow Fun at Kin Wah reminds me of my childhood. Hands down the best Chinese food I've had in a while. Top picks: Beef Chow Fun with black bean sauce Dry style, Won ton with Chili Green Onion and Ginger sauce and Peking duck with buns. Prices are very reasonable (especially when you compare to Bay area prices). The Owners and workers are all very nice. I wanted to give a shout out to Lisa and Jay, thank you for creating a great dining experience for me. I will be back next year.

I was disappointed with my experience at this nabe restaurant. From the start, the manager wasn’t that helpful in explaining the menu. Service overall was poor. When I asked for long chopsticks to cook the nabe, the server brought over a pair that were strangely wet. Even more surprising, no dipping sauces were provided with the nabe — something that’s typically essential. We had to ask for them, and were then told there were three free sauces and two you have to pay extra for. The free options (soy sauce, chili oil, sriracha) didn’t really complement the meal. As for the food, it was just okay — nothing special to make up for the lackluster service. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this place if you’re looking for a good nabe experience or attentive service.

A friend wanted to have shabu shabu so we turned to friends and social media, and found this gem. ATMOSPHERE: Don't be fooled by the plain exterior. A long central hall divides the Japanese-themed room in half, one side a tatami room (no footwear and you sit on the floor on leg less chairs) which are more for big groups, the other side with tables and booths. All gas stoves are the individual portable kind. MENU: A mix of Japanese apps, shabu shabu, desserts. FOOD: Mushroom Medley This was an excellent starter dish. The mixture of enoki and other Japanese mushrooms were done in a delicious butter sauce. Yum. Avocado Maguro My spouse asked if this was a "roll" and was told yes, but it was not. It's like a pokē with chunky slices of fresh avocado and topped with white & green onions. Very fresh but we added shoyu for some flavor. Ribeye Chanko The platter comes not only with ribeye but also includes ground & diced chicken, 1 shrimp, tofu, clear noodles, aburaage, enoki & portobello mushrooms, won bok, sausage, and green onions. Chicken Chanko Chicken slices with similar additional veggies as the other chanko options. Ramen & Udon Noodles A small handful of fresh noodles completes your meal which is I guess a way to fully utilize the broths. Rice Each pot comes with only 1 bowl of rice, so we ordered extra. Brown rice is available. BROTHS: Since we had a party of 4 and 2 burners, we opted for the ginger broth and the spicy shoyu broth. I wasn't sure if I'd like the ginger broth but it's very subtle, clean, not overly gingery, marries well to the meats & veggies, and actually ended up being my favorite of the two. The spicy shoyu broth has a nice savory flavor and was spicy only if you bit on a chili flake. The broth itself wasn't spicy at all. ORDERING: The process starts with choosing your broth flavor, set (meats, veggies, etc.,) then a noodle type (ramen, udon, or zosui which is a porridge.) Your server will explain the cooking process & suggested tips for a great meal. SERVICE: Everyone we encountered were very friendly and professional. RESERVATIONS: We walked in on a Sunday around 4:30pm so there was a very minimal wait but the place was still pretty occupied. TIP: One order is more than enough for two to share. Even though the menu pictures look like small portions, you do fill up especially if you eat rice. OVERALL: Highly recommended! Awesome food, great service, and the four of us left stuffed & satisfied all for about $65. What a deal!

The fresh watermelon juice was perfect on a warm day. We ordered spring rolls that were light, delicious, and unlike anything we’d had before.

It pains me to write this as I love to support local business, however we tried this place and left disappointed. We ordered 2 apps and 2 entrees. First thing, it took so long to order we almost left but we had already strapped our toddler into his high chair that we brought (they didn’t have one). Finally, our server took the entire order at once asking us how spicy we wanted our dishes, we said mild for both. The apps came out first and they were ok. The papaya salad was a little plain with no herbs but was decent. For $19 the portion was good but just plain looking. The vegetable rolls had an oil sauce to dip in that wasn’t good. I got peanut sauce on the side which was much better. My pad Thai came out and was good! Happy with it. We waited and waited for the other entree and finally asked and the server totally forgot, didn’t remember anything about ordering. We would have considered to fire it up then but everything took so long we said forget it and my partner didn’t end up eating anything. Not to mention his dish was $42– how are you doing to forget that price at a mom and pop place ??? We never go out to eat anymore as we have kids; planned to treat ourselves and it was just not a good experience. It makes me sad bc I really wanted to find a cute spot to bring visitors or get take out and we will probably never come back. Oh they did offer to give us free tapioca — so for $62 we got papaya salad a few spring rolls (small) and pad Thai

This place exceeded my expectations! I'm not a big fan of Thai food, but after trying this place, I can say that it's the only Thai restaurant I will ever eat at again. I had a little bit of everything, as my family wanted to eat family-style by sharing dishes. It was hard to pick a favorite because every dish was amazing, but since I personally ordered the pad thai noodles, I will say it was the best pad thai I've ever had. I am not kidding when I say that my toes curled when eating here because it was so good. Mina, the owner, is the sweetest! She will make you feel like family and ensure that you are 100% satisfied with your order. Highly recommend if you want an authentic dish with a homey feeling. You won't regret it!

I felt like this place shouldn't up charge for protein options. If you order curry you should get at least one protein option. If your a vegetarian you eat cheaply here lol. It's my fault for not looking at the menu clearly but let's just say I won't be returning. Felt scammed.

I like their papaya salad, but the Tom Yum is less authentic. I think they try to make it comfortable for the locals to eat. I’m a little disappointed that the soup isn’t as as spicy as I want it to be. I also asked for their chilly sauce, and it’s surprisingly not as hot. But the soup itself is good.

Zippy's Kaneohe is a popular Hawaiian casual dining chain offering comfort food dishes like stews and chili. The restaurant has both quick dining and sit-down areas, with friendly cashiers and a steady stream of patrons. Locals consider the food slightly overpriced but worth it for the generous portions and delicious flavors. The Saimin is recommended for its filling portion of noodles with tasty fish cake and char siu, while the Moco Loco is praised for its huge serving size.
We honestly went once a week, every week of September. They're also affordable for us. My favorite is Zip min w/ double garnish.

Not a stranger to Zippys, but this location in particular is one of my favorites. The service and atmosphere are so homey and welcoming. The food always comes fast and fresh delivered with a friendly face and helpful attitude. My go-to order lately has been the chicken trio plate, can’t go wrong. Essentially three kinds of fried chicken served with some sauces and choices of sides. Very filling, crispy juicy chicken left me so satisfied until my next meal, I know I won’t leave at all hungry with this choice!

During my recent visit to Zippy's Kaneohe, I embarked on a culinary journey that showcased the restaurant's diverse menu and attentive service. Eager to experience the flavors of the Hawaiian cuisine, I initially planned to indulge in a classic breakfast featuring waffles with strawberries and whipped cream, accompanied by a steaming cup of hot chocolate. However, I was informed that both the hot chocolate and strawberries with whipped cream were unavailable at the time. Though initially disappointed, the accommodating staff quickly provided alternative breakfast options and suggested some enticing lunch specials. Opting for a change of plans, I decided to explore the lunch offerings instead. I settled on a clubhouse sandwich paired with fries and Portuguese soup. This hearty combination promised to satisfy my appetite and provide a taste of the local flavors. As I waited for my meal, I couldn't help but admire the inviting ambiance of Zippy's Kaneohe. The restaurant exuded a cozy vibe, with comfortable seating arrangements and tasteful decor. The staff continued to impress with their attentive service, ensuring that I felt welcomed and valued as a customer. When my order arrived, I was delighted by the presentation and aroma of the food. The clubhouse sandwich was a towering masterpiece, featuring layers of roasted turkey, crispy bacon, fresh lettuce, juicy tomato, and creamy mayonnaise, all sandwiched between slices of toasted bread. The accompanying fries were golden and crispy, perfectly complementing the savory flavors of the sandwich. The Portuguese soup, a local favorite known for its rich and flavorful broth, exceeded my expectations. Packed with tender chunks of meat, hearty vegetables, and fragrant spices, it was a comforting delight that warmed both body and soul. With each bite, I savored the harmonious blend of textures and flavors, from the crunchy bacon to the tender turkey and the hearty broth of the soup. The meal was a true celebration of Hawaiian cuisine, showcasing the diverse culinary influences that make it so unique. Throughout the dining experience, the exemplary service continued to shine. The staff were attentive and accommodating, ensuring that my meal was enjoyable from start to finish. Despite the initial hiccup with the unavailable breakfast items, Zippy's Kaneohe proved to be a culinary gem, offering delicious food and top-notch service that left a lasting impression. In conclusion, my experience at Zippy's Kaneohe was a memorable one. From the warm ambiance to the delectable food and attentive service, it was a true delight for the senses. Whether you're craving a classic breakfast or a flavorful lunch, Zippy's Kaneohe is sure to deliver a dining experience that exceeds expectations. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to indulge in the flavors of Hawaii.

I liked the idea of trying food from a local Hawaiian chain, so I had to check out Zippys. I made sure to grab the famous Zip Pac. I liked the variety. It’s like a Hawaiian lunchbox surprise with every bite. Definitely worth the stop.

Over easy eggs were way overcooked, and both eggs together were the size of one. Corned Beef Hash was room temperature in the middle. French toast was really good, and so was the service. I was visiting with my firstborn, who had just moved to the Kaneohe side, so I was just happy to spend time with them and didn't bother bringing attention to the food. Must've caught em on an off day.

There’s no use of a “customize” button on the app when the workers don’t give a damn about your order. Disappointing to see such horrible service at this location, the kitchen workers and also the staff bagging the orders need more training to avoid consistently messing up orders. No bean chili means no bean chili, if there’s 2 orders of chili and one bowl is filled only halfway and the other bowl is full, how is that an even amount of food and a proper amount for our moneys worth? Mistakes can happen but they consistently mess our orders up, can’t continue to call the same thing a mistake forever.

Came here for a quick lunch before going to the sandbar after it was mentioned to us by our Uber driver. He said it’s not something to rave about, just a regional chain, but we thought it sounded cool! We thought it was interesting that this spot had half of a quick dining area and a sit-down area. The cashiers were super duper friendly. Saimin - This was inexpensive and quite filling! It had a good amount of noodles and the piping hot broth came separately. The fish cake and char siu were tasty. Since it seemed little, I added a chicken katsu. The cashier said she made sure to put it separately so the chicks stayed crispy. Chicken katsu - My stand-alone katsu was around $5-6 but turning it into its own combo meal with rice and mac salad is the way to go. My friend got 3 pieces for $12. We expected a dense, greasy fried food but it was actually very light and thin! It was a lot better than I expected. Its accompanying sauce is more sour than other katsu places I’ve tried. We were dying for vegetables at this point so I ate all the cabbage underneath lol. Korean fried chicken - This was delicious! The boneless pieces don’t come in medium-sized chunks. I liked their crunch. Loco moco - This was hot, flavorful, and honestly tasted better than some other places I’ve tried. The egg was fried perfectly. I wish I tried the oxtail soup but it’s pretty pricey. Zippy’s fulfilled our needs before our long boat trip!

This is the place to go for breakfast. Great food, large portions and definitely super tasty. Loved the atmosphere..there's TV to watch football on Sunday for the game. We had the cinnamon French toast, salmon eggs Benedict, and corn beef hash and eggs with rice. Super yummy. Try them out if your in the area. Awesome grindz.

Our favorite Big City Diner location is the one inside Windward Mall in Kaneohe. We've known the owner Lane Muraoka before he opened his first location in Kaimuki. He also provided food donations to all my movie productions. So many restaurants turned me away but not him. His generosity and support will never be forgotten. Now the ono food. We usually start with appetizers fried calamari and fresh poke. My wife loves all their sandwiches. I tend to order the same thing every time. Mamasan's meatloaf with rice sprinkled with furikake. On occasion I get the hamburger steak. Everything on their menu is delicious.

It’s about the same as other Big City Diners, so so food, friendly service and dated decors. The hamburger with cheddar was okay, but the buns weren’t toasted so they basically disintegrated before I can finish my burger. The Eggs Benedict wasn’t too good especially its hollandaise sauce that was too thick and tasted off from others.

We walked in for dinner at 5pm on a Friday. No wait, we went straight to our table. We ordered our food. When the food came to the table they gave us spoon’s. No fork or knife. I stood up and got us forks and knives. I ordered a Boneless Kalbi with fried rice. It was good. Sister ordered a Loco Moco with and an egg over medium. The egg came to the table well done! I took it back to the kitchen and ordered them to cook another egg. Her boyfriend ordered a hamburger steak with gravy. It was mea! It tasted awful. The other thing I realized that I forgot about, is that I really HATE that the restaurant tables have no walls!! So one side of your table is open to the Mall customers walking by you while your eating! No Privacy. People can walk by you and see what your eating and how your eating. They can sneeze and cough too. The people in the booths next to you can hear every word you’re saying. The ladies next to us were talking so loud about some people they didn’t like and I could hear every word they were saying!!! Expensive Lousy food, poor wait service and horrendous atmosphere! How do they stay in business is amazing. Spend your money at Ruby’s next door. They’re worth the money. Compared to these Big City Clown’s! The next time someone gives me a gift card to them clown’s again I’ll burn it!

Big City Diner is a great spot for a satisfying breakfast with a relaxed atmosphere. The food is quite good, offering a variety of classic morning dishes that are tasty and well-prepared. Everything feels fresh, and the ingredients seem carefully chosen to start the day right. I also appreciated how clean the restaurant is—tables, floors, and even the counters are spotless, which makes the dining experience pleasant and comfortable. Service is another highlight. The staff is friendly and efficient, taking orders promptly and serving dishes quickly, so you never feel like you’re waiting too long. Despite being a popular place, the team keeps everything running smoothly. The space itself is bright and airy, with plenty of natural light and good ventilation, creating a welcoming and open environment. Overall, Big City Diner delivers a solid breakfast experience with good food, quick service, and a clean, spacious setting.

Nestled within Windward Mall, Big City Diner in Kaneohe offers a pleasant dining experience that combines satisfying food and welcoming service. During a recent visit around 2pm, after the lunch rush had subsided, I had the chance to savor their menu offerings and enjoy a peaceful atmosphere. Eggs Benedict: A Tasty Treat with a Slight Flaw Opting for the classic Eggs Benedict, I was treated to a flavorful dish that hit the spot. The English muffin was toasted to perfection, and the hollandaise sauce was creamy and rich, adding a delightful touch to the overall experience. However, the poached eggs were slightly overcooked, with the yolks lacking the ideal runny consistency. Despite this minor flaw, the dish was satisfying, and the combination of flavors was still enjoyable. Service with a Smile: One standout aspect of my visit was the server's exceptional friendliness and attentiveness. Their warm demeanor and willingness to accommodate special requests created a positive impression and contributed to the overall pleasant dining experience. The server's enthusiasm for ensuring customer satisfaction added an extra layer of comfort to the meal. A Tranquil Oasis: Choosing to dine around 2pm proved to be a smart move, as the lunchtime rush had subsided, leaving the restaurant pleasantly empty. This created a serene and peaceful environment, allowing for easy conversation and relaxation. It's a reminder that timing can make a significant difference in the overall dining experience, especially when seeking a quieter and more tranquil atmosphere. Final Thoughts: Big City Diner in Windward Mall offers a taste of comfort and satisfaction, highlighted by their tasty Eggs Benedict and attentive service. While the eggs were slightly overcooked, the dish still managed to deliver on flavor. The server's genuine kindness and the serene ambiance created by the post-lunch lull contributed to a pleasant and enjoyable lunch outing. For those looking to avoid the crowds and indulge in a leisurely meal, a visit around 2pm could provide a serene oasis amid the hustle and bustle of Windward Mall.

This restaurant is an excellent choice for those seeking a wide array of seafood selections.
Great great food! Fresh and delicious. Went twice in one week because we loved it so much. We ordered the #4 combo with snow crab and it was plenty to fill the belly's of myself, my wife, and our 3 yr old. Cajun spice was amazing. The price is a little higher so expect that when coming. But if you are a seafood Boil fanatic you must try this spot.

This was the first time to this place. We enjoyed the flavor and the pricing of our seafood boil. The green beans were very tasty too. You get to choose the heat of your seasonings.

Updated for 12/8/2020 I come here often, but this is the first time they actually messed up my order. I ordered a king crab combo garlic butter no spice, but it was cajun butter mild spice. And they forgot the rice.. I'm a bit disappointed because they weren't busy and they still made a mistake with my order. The girl who took my order though, she was awesome, super high energy and friendly. I've haven't ordered the catfish in a long time, but I don't recall it being made this way, the batter was soft on the inside, not sure how it was supposed to be though. Tasted good otherwise. Cajun fries are a little spicy, so if you can't handle any spice, do not order it. Hope they don't make a mistake next time. ☹️

A "local" person told us this place is a good hole in the wall to check out, so we decided to give it a try. I am sorry to say, it was not up to par with the seafood boils I've had in the past. There wasn't any flavor in it, it was spicy but bland. I got the Dungeness crab, and I wonder if they even cleaned it. I was highly disappointed and probably will not revisit.

So, I lived in Maryland for a while, and occasionally I get a craving for crabs, shrimp, etc. I heard about this place a while back and had completely forgotten about it. Today, when that craving kicked in again, I remembered that I wanted to try this joint. It was the best food decision we've made in a while. First, the staff was super friendly and helpful. We asked a couple of questions to get a feel of what we wanted. My husband and I split the King Crab Combo, and we got a pound of shrimp for the kids as well. One of my sons also got the chicken wing basket. We got the cajun and garlic butter seasoning on everything. It was AMAZING! It reminded me of Maryland. We will definitely be returning.

Ordered a chicken and bacon pizza on Sunday night for dinner. The whole bottom of our pizza was completely burned. It's dangerous to eat acrylamide (burnt part of food) because it is linked to cancer and quite plainly taste horrible. It's such a bummer because we were really looking forward to eating our pizza as we were starving. By the time we got home and realized our pizza was burned, it was too late to go back to the restaurant so we ended up wasting our time and money as the whole pizza was tossed. I have tried calling their restaurant to resolve the issue, but since no one has answered leaving this review in hopes that this doesn't happen to others.

The sauce tasted like lunchables marinara sauce and I was hoping a place called "Brick Oven Pizza" would have good cheese. We got the margherita pizza and smoked ham and pineapple. The margarita was just covered in cheap shredded cheese, and small handful of tiny diced tomatoes thrown on top with some wilted basil in large shreds, over powering the rest of the pizza. The other pizza had a glop of sauce on half the pizza and all the cheese thrown haphazardly on the other side, making this pizza almost impossible to eat without a fork. The ham was good. I'm not sure about all the other food, most other people seemed to get everything except pizza? The waiter didn't bother asking what we wanted to drink, just brought us water. They were extremely understaffed with just 2 waiters and not a SINGLE TABLE CLEAN. They didn't bother even trying to clean. If a new party came in, the moved all dirty dishes from one table to another and wiped it down.. I'd been craving pizza since we arrived in Hawaii 4 days ago and this definitely didn't satisfy it. I'd rather have Dominos pizza.

L & L Hawaiian BBQ is a popular island-themed fast-food chain known for its traditional Hawaiian plate lunches. The menu offers a wide variety of options, including the "Bar-B-Que mixed plate" and "Kalua pork with cabbage," both served with generous portions of rice and macaroni salad. Customers praise the quick service and friendly staff, as well as the ample portion sizes at reasonable prices. The chicken katsu curry is particularly recommended, with many patrons raving about the flavorful sauce.
My first visit to L&L Hawaiian Barbecue in Kaneohe Windward City Shopping Center was truly a memorable experience, and it introduced me to a culinary delight I had never tried before: the Ramen Burger with Fries. From the moment I took my first bite, I was hooked. The star of the show, the Ramen Burger, was unlike anything I had ever tasted. The combination of the crunchy, slightly sweet ramen bun with the savory burger patty created a flavor explosion in my mouth. What stood out to me the most was the unique texture of the ramen bun—it was both crispy and chewy, providing the perfect complement to the juicy burger. Additionally, the "noodle kick" added an extra layer of flavor that elevated the dish to new heights. It was a delightful fusion of flavors and textures that left me craving more. Accompanying my Ramen Burger were a side of fries, which were equally delicious. Golden and crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, they were the perfect accompaniment to the main dish. Each fry was seasoned to perfection, adding an extra burst of flavor to every bite. While I was busy indulging in my Ramen Burger, my mom opted for the Kalbi plate, a classic Hawaiian barbecue dish. She thoroughly enjoyed it, savoring every bite of the tender, marinated beef ribs. The flavors were rich and savory, and the portion size was generous, making it a satisfying meal. One of the aspects that impressed me the most about L&L Hawaiian Barbecue was the affordability of the menu. Despite offering high-quality, flavorful dishes, the prices were reasonable, making it accessible to everyone. This combination of great taste and affordability is what sets L&L apart and makes it a go-to spot for a delicious meal. Overall, my experience at L&L Hawaiian Barbecue was exceptional, and I will definitely be returning. From the innovative and delicious Ramen Burger to the classic Kalbi plate, every dish was a testament to the culinary expertise of the chefs. Add to that the affordable prices and friendly service, and you have a winning combination that is hard to beat. Whether you're a fan of Hawaiian barbecue or looking to try something new and exciting like the Ramen Burger, L&L Hawaiian Barbecue is the place to go. With its flavorful dishes, welcoming atmosphere, and reasonable prices, it's no wonder that my first visit won't be my last. I highly recommend giving it a try—you won't be disappointed.

After visiting the nearby botanical gardens I was starving and in need of some good food. This was the first time visiting an L&L restaurant and it is what got me hooked on the chain. The menu is expansive with so many options to choose from. Between two people we decided on a "Bar-B-Que mixed plate" and a "Kalua pork with cabbage" meal. The portion sizes were huge and it meant we had enough left over for dinner. Each meal came with rice, macaroni salad and the mains. The Kalua pork with cabbage was delicious. There was so much flavour and it was cooked to perfection. They were very generous with the amount of meat in the meal. The Bar-B-Que mixed plate included short ribs, chicken and teriyaki steak. Each was as delicious as the other but the flavour of the steak was a winner. The person taking our order was friendly and efficient at what he was doing. The dining room is very casual and no frills. I would absolutely recommend L&L for anyone in Hawaii wanting good food!

We enjoyed our old school pau hana on aloha Friday with live Hawaiian music. The frozen drinks tasted like they use cheap mixers and the garlic bread was blah, but the pupu platter was very tasty.

Kiku-ya Restaurant is a small, cozy spot in Kaneohe that offers delicious Japanese cuisine and sushi. The customer service is top-notch, with friendly staff and an excellent location with easy parking. While the space may be limited and popular, the food is awesome and reasonably priced. The decor adds to the cool ambiance, making it a great place for authentic Japanese dishes.
This exquisite Japanese dish is a true feast for the senses. At its heart lies a succulent piece of butterfish, seared to perfection, its smoky flavor and tender texture melting in your mouth. Accompanying this delicacy are golden tempura shrimp, their crispy batter providing a delightful crunch that contrasts beautifully with the sweet, delicate shrimp inside. A small bowl of savory broth adds depth to the meal, offering a warm and comforting umami taste that ties all the elements together. The dish is completed with fluffy white rice, a refreshing salad with crisp vegetables and creamy dressing, and a wedge of lemon to add a zesty brightness. A small dish of soy sauce awaits for dipping, enhancing the flavors with its rich saltiness. This culinary masterpiece not only looks stunning but also promises an array of textures and tastes that epitomize the elegance and simplicity of traditional Japanese cuisine. Enjoy! 🍣🍤🍜

The waitress brought the dinner special menu and said I could pick from there. Gotta love when they go the extra mile like that to make their customers happy.

Enjoyed the sukiyaki here. Came out piping hot which it should so that was good. Pretty good variety of Japanese comfort food. A little pricey but at this point, I'm just glad small businesses are able to stay open. There was one lady working the floor the whole time we were in there but she was amazing and we never found ourselves waiting too long for food or refills of water.

Chile Relleno is a Mexican restaurant that offers a unique dining experience. The Kaluha pork chimichanga stands out with its thick, soft outer layer and perfectly cooked pork filling. The Tuesday Taco special featuring beef tacos is also highly recommended. Guests can enjoy the complimentary tortilla chips with salsa upon arrival and savor the fresh and delicious Ceviche Combo appetizer. The attentive service adds to the overall wonderful experience at this clean and safe establishment.
You have to eat here!!! It’s the best Mexican food our family has tasted. Not only that the decor is amazing and the smiles are unmatched. Honestly a cute restaurant that is a must. We drove 1.5 up and it was a stop on the way. My husband and I definitely would consider renting a car and coming this way.

Chile Relleno has been our go-to Mexican restaurant on the island for years. Their chile relleno dish is always delicious. Perfectly cooked with rich flavor and just the right amount of heat. They serve complimentary crispy chips with a spicy salsa that starts the meal off right. The restaurant recently remodeled, and the place looks great, bright, colorful, and full of character. I also appreciate the friendly staff and the relaxed, welcoming vibe. It’s BYOB, which adds a nice touch if you want to bring your own drinks. The only downside is that prices have jumped quite a bit recently, around 40%. I understand costs have gone up everywhere, but it’s definitely noticeable.

I want to give it a 5 but the food was overpriced and inconsistently disappointing for the price. I have been in search of a good a flavorful Mexican restaurant and this looked like it might be it but sadly, no. Not authentic We got the horchata pitchure and thought it was reasonably priced and very delicious. My partner got the breakfast burrito and he thought that was amazing. I got the chorizo queso and I thought that was amazing so imagine my disappointment when I get their seafood fajitas which cost $30 and they're just such a letdown. They were oily, flavorless and overpriced. Some of the worst fajitas I have ever had. I ended up eating one taco and packing the rest to take home. I will season it up in my own kitchen. I wanted to give this place five stars and had I not ordered that seafood fajita I might have but when our bill came and it was nearly $100 with tip for two people and we didn't even get alcohol, that to me was a let down. Had to mark down. There's no reason a seafood fajita mostly made a fish should cost $30. I might expect that from a steak fajita. The service was exceptional and that is what stopped me from going any lower in my review. Our waitress was very attentive and kind

The food we had was awesome! The service was awesome! The music we heard was fantastic! We thought it was music playing off of a recording but we then realized that there was a man in the corner playing his guitar & singing. When we sat down, they first gave us chips & salsa. The salsa was spicy. We then ordered a side of Avocado Cilantro Salsa to eat with the chips. It turned out to be spicier than the regular salsa. My amor had the Crispy Tacos with sliced vegetables & I had the Grande Burrito. We also shared 2 shredded Chicken Tamales. For dessert we had the Flan with Vanilla ice cream. Again, all the food we had was awesome! Definitely going back there.

Kim Chee 1 is a solid choice for delicious Korean food in a casual setting. The BBQ meats were flavorful, and the portions were generous. Their kimchi and side dishes were fresh and well-seasoned, adding a nice touch of authenticity to the meal. The service was friendly, though the restaurant can get busy during peak hours, so you might experience a bit of a wait. The ambiance is simple, but the food more than makes up for it. Overall, a great spot for satisfying your Korean food cravings without breaking the bank!

I ordered shoyu chicken & meat jun plate for $14.99 special and it came with 2 scoops of rice and more vegetatables on plate al also additional side dishes, which the server told me I could have a refill if I want to. When I got to try the food it tasted so good and also with the side dish. This is a very good price for a korean restaurant. The service was also great so it really made it a great visit.

Met up with a fishing buddy to try out Kim Chee for breakfast. Was pleasantly surprised. Got there before the restaurant opened and able to park in the front. Food was good and as expected with the price being also reasonable. Service was quick and ambiance was dinnernvibe through and through. From the outside it looked like a total dive but pleasantly surprised at the inside. Nice touch was addition of 2 types of kimchee as well as the soup. You know it's authentic when they don't give you a spoon for the soup. Looking forward to adding Kim Chee to my rotation and looking forward to trying their actual Korean food for lunch or dinner.

Oh my word!! This food was the best!! I'd have to say it was my personal favorite on our visit to Hawaii. Our entire family loved everything. We dined in for lunch on our last day and the service was fantastic and the staff was friendly. My son cannot eat any dairy and everything on their menu is dairy free. In addition, the portions were huge. I couldn't finish mine and everyone else left completely stuffed. In comparison to what we spent on other meals on the Island, the pricing was a great value, especially considering the amount of food they brought. They brought out a huge serving of two separate kinds of Kim Chee and both were incredible. If you're in the area you should definitely check this place out! We tried shrimp and would recommend the katsu, BBQ pork, BBQ chicken, fried and steamed dumplings, Tonkatsu, rice, soup, shrimp katsu and the amazing Kim Chee

Food was great and very plentiful. For the lunch special, you get a choice of 2 entrees, plus soup and 2 types of kim chi for $15. I got 2 huge shrimp tempura and 2 large pieces of BBQ chicken with a tasty teriyaki sauce. Ate half and took the other half home. The owner/waitress was a hoot. We want to go back for the food and to see her! Service was great.

They had a "Chicken Katsu Bento" special ($10.98 including tax; Sept 2023), but the offer was only for take-out, couldn't eat in. Nevertheless, the young lady at the register was cheerful & efficient, and I enjoyed my bento elsewhere. The chicken katsu was crispy on the outside, moist inside. And the other ingredients were fresh & tasty (California roll, tofu, bed of rice, pickled greens & cabbage).

The guy(mr K) who greeted me looked like he was looking for a fight. He never smiled even when I was smiling at him or even to other customers while i was waiting for my order. There was an old man who was trying to use the kiosk to register for a table, he(mr k) looked at him and said, "Do you know what you're doing?". I believe the right question was, " do yo need help sir or can i help you with that sir?". Oh, by the way, he(mr k) put a no touching sign on the kiosk after that...lol Food is ok. I did not taste the whole menu. Just ordered a platter of some sushi. Kinda expensive, I know it's hawaiian price, but the bowl serving I bought was too small for the price. Check the pic I provided. That's the teriyaki chicken and calbi bowl for $6. Look at the size it's like a baby food size..oh they ran out of calbi(beef) so they said they just put the chicken.

We go 3 vermicelli noodle bowls with bbq chicken and it came with and egg roll, 1 order of combo #1, flan and sodas. Everything is fresh and made to order. Reminded me of home/mom’s cooking.

**Please call them or come in person to order take out!** The ordering websites listed have higher prices and are not run by the owners. So they are being taken advantage of.

I'm Viet and from Virginia, and these egg rolls were better than the ones in DC. I will definitely return!

Every one was delicious. My mouth is watering writing this review.

THANK YOU for making me the MOST DELICIOUS meatless, vegetarian enchiladas, rice, and black beans for my lunch today. OH MY it was SO YUMMY. Made my day. The veggies inside the enchilada were soooo scrumptious.Also, thank you for not over-cheesing my enchiladas, it was the perfect amount of cheese. Mostly, the thoughtfulness of the guy who helped me, I did not get your name. But when I asked for a meatless option, he was soooo supportive and made delicious suggestions of how they could prepare my food. This is in contrast to a LOT of other establishments, where I have gotten SO MUCH judgment, intolerance, and eye rolls when asking for a meatless option. At Don Goyo’s, it was all support, no judgment😊 Thank you, thank you, non-judgy, vegetarian-supporting, great flavor suggesting, friendly, smiling guy at Don Goyos😊 And thank you also to the other guy at the counter who was similary vegetarian-supportive 😊 And thank you Don Goyos chef for perfectly cooking the vegetables for the most tasty vegetable enchiladas I have ever tasted 😊 YUMMO YUMMO YUMMO

Steak tacos “Mexican Style” are probably the best tacos I’ve found on the island so far. The meal comes with 2 tacos. I don’t usually take photos of my food, but after I ate the first one I knew I was going to post a review. Salsa was fresh and the sides were good. Very casual spot. I was a little confused at first of how to be seated, but just walk up to the register to get seated. Great staff that served me at the bar. Kind and attentive.

While the food ultimately proved great and tasty, the dining experience got off to a rocky start as we sat for a good 30 minutes without any acknowledgment from the waiter. Initial disappointment arose when we weren't provided water or chips and salsa. Only after actively seeking attention did a waiter finally acknowledge us. Despite the slow beginning, the enchilada I ordered was cooked well and tasted fantastic, redeeming the experience through the flavorful culinary offerings.

We live on the West side and decided to get food before heading back home from Kailua Beach. We were in the mood for some seafood, so that's what we typed into Google when searching for places to eat. Thankfully, Kenko Ya in Kaneohe popped up, and we decided to give it a try! We arrived around 8pm on a Monday evening and were sat instantly. Our table ordered a lot of items, but the ones that stuck out the most were the Hawaiian, Kaneohe Sunset, and Volcano rolls, the Sashimi, as well as the Sweet Potato Tempura. The food came out very fast and was prepared well. The tempura was crispy and the breading was not too thick, and all the sushi tasted very fresh! We also ordered the Peach Jinro, and we were not disappointed in the flavor. Overall, we had a great experience, finished everything on the table, and will definitely go back when we're on the East side again!

This is my favorite okazuya and always my first stop when I’m riding my motorcycle on this side of the island!! The hand rolls are huge and super flavorful, and when you can get the veggie tempura hot and fresh it’s one of my most favorite things but still really good even when it’s not piping hot!

Pretty standard, local, okazuya. Not many on the windward. It decent, my baseline for okazuya. Yakisoba is light on vegetables and meat. Fried chicken was slightly dry, but everything else is tasty. My go-to is the chicken katsu, nishime and seaweed wraps. The maki rolls are alright, so I usually don't get it. Service is pretty typical, since there are many people ordering. You have to order quickly, but they aren't rushing you. The environment just feels that way. Service is friendly. I wish you can sit down, like it was before covid. However, no place to sit so you have to take out only. Kind of lame, since most places allow sitting inside again. We got 3 plates, somen, and maki for about $65, it's not bad for the food you get.

Pho May VI was a ABSOLUTELY GREAT RESTAURANT if you go to my account on yelp I usually rate Vietnamese places and this one was EXTRODINARY the service was amazing, we had sat down and within minutes of us ordering we had gotten our food I say this place is a success and I loved that it wasn’t that busy so I could have a calm meal with family

I ordered the large shrimp Pho to go. It came with seven good sized shrimp. It was pretty good, but not a ton of flavor..... not sure I would order it again. I will probably try something else on the menu. In my picture, you will see sesame seeds, I added those myself at home.

Love this place. Been going there for years. Their pho broth always taste “clean”, not heavy with oils like other places. I also love their lemongrass chicken and spring rolls. The staff has always been friendly to me whether it be dine in or take out. Location is very convenient and easy to get to. Lots of parking stalls. 2024 update: still my go to for Pho. I do mostly take out. Posting pics of menu. I might have to try some other things on their menu soon. Staff is always friendly. Prices went up slightly but I feel the quality of the food is still worth it.

Pho My Vi is a wonderful and comforting restaurant for families. We love trying everything on their menu and our new favorite is the Vietnamese curry. They are also very helpful when ordering takeout or grub-hub.

As a first time tourist from Texas. We found this hole in the wall in the Safeway shopping strip near Boydo-In temple. It’s a ma’n’pa shop but it’s surprisingly good. The service was excellent, people very friendly, place very clean, and you pay at the table, which is the first for as long as we have been visiting pho places all over the nation. Highly recommend this place!

March 2021 service is kind of a hit or miss...... also, this is the only pho place I know of that adds pepper before serving it to you. that should be something the customer adds if they like, not served with. there was one time where the soup had absolutely no flavor, which was unusual. not sure what happened there.. other than that, the food can be good. never had any problems with takeout either. December 2022 dine-in was great! (still had the pepper on top, but it didn't bother me as much this time. it's whatevs lol) but ordered a pho to go, no jalapeños. but they gave EXTRA (idk why??) like normally, pho restaurants give about 3 or 4. this bag had about 8. so it made everything spicy and not tolerable. eh, like I said before, hit or miss. at least they are nice, friendly, and knowledge people.

I love pho!! And this place has really good pho. i ordered the large beef pho and it was really flavorful my husband and i loved it, and the chilie they have on the table is also really good just got to mix it in well. the price was also good the thing that was pricey was my thai tea 😔 6 dollars for the small glass.

Excellent location and fast service, definitely a staple location to visit when coming to Oahu! Negative side is that there was a super long wait time for the bathroom at least 25 minutes just to get in, there were only two stalls.

First time visiting Kaneohe McDonalds in a few years and incredibly disapointed. First, the table was not clean. Normally, we arw happy to clean ourselves but when a mwmber of our party went to the counter she was blatantly ignored and had to use a wet used cleaning rag instead. We then waited 15+ minutes for our order, whilst other members of our group neared 20 for simple small meals. One person was even charged 75c for a cup of ice water with her meal. We selected table service, but might as well have not as they just called our number at the counter and we had to get it anyway. Also, no free refills... Then again, even if there were and you had to ask the counter for the refill you would never recieve assistance anyway. Now, a large reason we (and assumably many others) stopped at this McDonalds is the location, which is stunning. Unfortunatley, seating is cramped in store and the two which do have seats on the window have stickers saying it is for employee only seating. Otherwise, if you want to see the mountain you have to sit outside, which is covered in chickens and chicken poop. Never coming to this McDonalds again, hoping this can be resolved.

Opening hours are daily 6 am to 11 pm. Drive thru is supposed to be 5:30 am to 11pm. I went there because it has a fantastic Mountain View. And it is the most scenic McDonald’s and worth the photo. We had breakfast and it was a complete disaster. We waited over 30 mins. Everyone was complaining and leaving. It was chaos. Tables were dirty. I do not know if they had a problem this one day or if this is recurring. They did not seem short of staff. The restaurant was not overcrowded that day. We nearly left. Big breakfast price is 16,99$ Egg Mac muffin $6.
Carine — Google review
Food was fine. Refills and condiments cost extra. Indoor seating is limited, which is partly because the only two tables against the window with the view of the mountain are marked off for employee use only. Seemed a waste when the employees sitting there were just scrolling their phones. View outside is great though! If you order on the app for table service, they just yell your table number from the counter, don’t expect them to bring it to you.
Vaughn P — Google review
So disappointed. I always come here when I visit the island but unfortunately they prioritise drive thru over dine in and we waited 16 minutes and other members of our party waited over 20 minutes. Staff ignored requests for napkins or cleaning tables. Charged for water in a cup 70c. Restaurant was dirty. They need more staff, friendlier staff and cleaner restaurant. Two designated tables for staff. No where to our our trash.

"Honestly, I don't understand the hype of coming here just for the scenery. If you've already visited Kualoa Ranch, the view here offers little new. Furthermore, you can skip eating at this location entirely; it's just a regular McDonald's. Due to the excessive drive-thru traffic, the wait time for a meal is significantly longer than at other branches. The dining experience is further hampered by the fact that the staff cannot keep up with cleaning, resulting in unacceptable table and floor cleanliness."
Matt L — Google review
Best view in the drive thru. My family and I don't eat fast food, but we went through the drive through as we had seen in on the web and it was supposed to be the best drive though in the USA. We did get some beverages and they were pretty fast in the drive through. We took amazing picks of the area, and it is beautiful.

Nestled on a charming side street in the heart of old downtown Hilo, Pho Viet Thien Hong Restaurant is a delightful family-run gem that serves up authentic Vietnamese cuisine. Despite its cozy size, this eatery offers an impressive array of flavorful dishes, primarily focusing on soups and pho. The menu may be concise, featuring items like stews and both summer and spring rolls, but each dish shines with freshness and vibrant presentation.

Located in Manoa Marketplace, stopped by for a early family dinner since my brother said this place was quite good.... Walked in and restaurant was quite warm, like the ac was on economy mode on a hot afternoon. Had to flag down the waitress to order. Food is on the higher end of pho restaurants, one size only for pho. Ordered the two choice pho, beef and beef ball. Garnishes were sparce, gave us two plates of garnishes for three bowls of pho. Lastly had to flag down the waitress for refills of water. Dunno where the high ratings came from, the pho had lots of noodles but broth was just okay. Probably wouldnt visit again since there are other places with better service and food. 3 stars

We ordered the oxtail pho, bun nem nuong, bun bo hue, and banh mi. Each dish ranges from $15 to $25. Oxtail pho was good — it had a good amount of oxtail for its price. The bun bo hue was flavorful and the vegetable plate was fresh, but the noodles were the smaller type that's often used for cold noodle dishes. The nem nuong was a bit too dry and only had two gia gio (eggrolls), which didn't feel too filling. The banh xeo tasted good and was decently sized but had a lot of substitutions (ie: no mung bean + bean sprouts, and used pork that's used for banh mi sandwiches). Highly do not recommend the strawberry milk tea — for some reason it tasted too bitter and sour. Aside from the food, the venue was spacious and parking was easy to find in the outlet area. There's a lot of TVs for entertainment too, alongside a dedicated bar area. The staff also spoke Vietnamese, which is a major plus.

The food is good but a bit pricy for pho. We spent 20-25 dollars for the house specials. I like the broth of traditional pho, better than oxtail one. The service is ok, not super quick for our request and take a while for the waitress notice we finished our food.

Loved this place! The tofu bahn mi was super flavorful and the bread was soft. I hate when the bread is way too hard so I was very happy about this.

It was very good and I would recommend that as well.

The staff at Koolau Drive Inn displayed exceptional patience and even offered assistance by opening the door for customers who had strollers. The food received a perfect score of 10 out of 10, and it is consistently excellent. This local eatery may appear unremarkable, but its cuisine is outstanding, particularly the fries. The prices are affordable, and the portions are generous, making it a hidden gem in the community.
I didn't want to eat another poke so after a long day walking at the Japanese Garden I looked on Google and found this restaurant. This place is just minutes from the garden and cemetery. When we got there was empty so I was a little worried but I am glad we stopped by cause MAN... it was delicious and the service was also great. Just before we were leaving more people started to come, I was happy to see the place full cause they deserved it. If you looking for a reasonably priced Hawaiian food restaurant, this is your place. I ordered the teriyaki chicken and hubby the shrimp with kalbi and they both were amazing, 10/10.

Café Kalawe is a local gem with quick and friendly service, serving a full menu all day. The breakfast sandwich made with sweetbread offers the ultimate sweet and savory combination, while the lup cheong fried rice and Portuguese sausage are highly recommended. The atmosphere is homey, with attentive staff and occasional live music. The Hapa Moco and Kapoho Moco Mini are both satisfying options for a quick bite before excursions.
Craving native Hawaiian food, this could be your spot. Place was so busy for brunch that there were no parking spots available and wait time was 20 minutes. Live music, good service and amazing food made this a great experience! I had their coffee, eggs with hash browns and loco moco mini. Everything tasted amazing but I really liked their loco moco and coffee. I also tried their bread dessert and those were also good. Restrooms were clean and usable. Definitely recommend this place.

Café Kalawe is a lively and popular breakfast spot that’s definitely worth a visit. The place is often busy, which speaks to its great reputation, so be prepared to wait a little during peak hours. Despite the crowd, the atmosphere remains cheerful and welcoming, making the experience enjoyable from start to finish. I ordered both food and coffee for breakfast and was impressed by how delicious everything was. The standout for me was the potato dish—crispy on the outside, soft inside, and seasoned perfectly. It paired beautifully with their fresh, rich coffee, creating a truly satisfying morning meal. One thing to note is parking. If you arrive late in the morning, finding a spot can be challenging due to the restaurant’s popularity and limited spaces. Overall, Café Kalawe offers fantastic food, excellent coffee, and a vibrant vibe. It’s worth the wait and early arrival for a breakfast you’ll genuinely enjoy.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Cafe Kalawa – A One-of-a-Kind Experience! Our experience at Cafe Kalawa was truly amazing! From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted not just by the staff but by everyone in the restaurant — such a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. This well-known, family-based restaurant really stands out. Our waitress, Danny, provided excellent customer service and took such great care of our group of 16 kupunas. They get to choose where they want to eat, and this was the spot — and now we know why! The food was outstanding — from the surf and turf (with your choice of fried or garlic shrimp) to Kalbi ribs, steak, French toast, and Shoyu chicken. The prices were very reasonable, and the portions were generous. Overall, I’d give Cafe Kalawa a solid 100%! We’ll definitely be recommending this place to all our family and friends. Mahalo to the entire Cafe Kalawa team for such a wonderful and memorable dining experience

This is a great choice value for quality of food-wise reasons. The ambiance has more of an l and l feel. The restaurant is clean and the table spacing is adequate but the furnishings are quite plain. They use quality dishes for their culinary offerings and the portions are quite generous so overall it is a good experience. The restaurant is rather small so there is only one waitress who is very friendly and as efficient as she can be (I think possibly only one person in the kitchen as well) but the wait time for the food and the order it comes out is the only flaw in this otherwise, great place. So as long as you have extra time and are into a longer than usual dining experience, you will truly enjoy the excellent food here at restaurant Domo. The soft shell crab was delectable and the Hamaci and Maguro were enormously portioned.

I have not had one of these since I lived in California. I feel like they are going away. Still their corndogs beat all.

*Sighs of euphoria*. Why does all of the most delicious things in the world usually have to be the worst for our physique?? The existence of a place like Hot Dog on a Stick makes it hard to stick to my "healthy" diet. But sometimes I have to compromise with myself: "Do I want to have abs, or I do I want to be happy?". Often times, the latter question wins. There are a few sweet, calorie destructive, goodies in the world that if I had it my way I could eat all the time. 1) Beignets 2) Funnel Cakes 3) Cotton Candy 4) Candy Apples (even though they are so bad for your teeth) As you can see, funnel cakes is right there at the top of the list, so you can imagine my excitement when my friend told me this place located all the way over in Kaneohe had a delight known as "Funnel Cake Sticks". I live on the complete other side of the island, so it's a bit of drive to get here. Would I drive all the way to the other side of the island to get these babies? You bet your sweet bippy I would! My first time at the Windward Mall, I wasn't sure which floor the place was located on but I prayed it was on the first floor. I had to spin around a few times and walk in the wrong direction a couple times before I finally found the place but once I did, I immediately ordered the funnel cake sticks. I knew I would need a drink, so I also ordered the Cherry Lemonade as well, which was very tasty but also quite sweet. Once I tried the sticks, it was like I was in heaven. The sticks were doused and completely covered in powdered sugar, just like I like them! Often an issue I have with funnel cakes is that it seems like they never sprinkle enough powder over the whole cake. Not with these. All of them were thoroughly covered in sugar. Some of them were slightly overcooked as they were rather crunchy, but there were a few pieces that were still pretty doughy. Overall, this is an amazing snack and I will definitely be back. Thank you Hot Dog on a Stick!

Everything is good here. I love the cheese on a stick and lemonades. A must have every time I get a chance to go to Windward mall. Very inexpensive and great customer service.

The kids had the hot dog on a stick. No complaints about the hot dog. I had the zucchini and fish combo plate. Zucchini was good but the fish was like eating French fried batter with a hard thin dried up piece of fish. This has to be the worst meal I've had from the food court. I won't be a customer of this establishment again.

Chicken wings restaurant
Takeout Restaurant

Chain dishing up wings, tenders & burgers, plus sauces ranging from sweet to very spicy.
Tried placing an order through the app for a 20 piece with fries for $22.99. The app was not allowing me to checkout due to technical errors on behalf of the app. Walked in & the staff made sure their service was exemplary. They honored the deal even though the deal was not coming up on their computers. 10/10.

I would highly recommend skipping this restaurant! I have worked in a restaurant and understand that customer service is a skill that some people have and some don’t. When the kitchen is short staffed at least make sure your customers have their drinks promptly. Don’t forget their drinks and their food. 1.5 hours is a little excessive to get your appetizer and your meal at the same time. The bathrooms were disgusting and the tables filthy! If you only have a few tables to wait on, while you’re waiting for the food to come out, clean some of the other tables that have flies crawling on the food. Do Not order the hatch queso! I don’t mind paying for a good meal but this was a fail on all levels! This experience has left a bad taste in my mouth for any future visits to Buffalo Wild Wings.

Waited a good 40 minutes after the appetizers and my wife’s food arrived for my sandwich. To which she acknowledged and I’m certain she forgot about it to grab it from the kitchen. Finished the Dr Pepper and instantly felt sick and didn’t want my food anymore and took it home to eat when I felt less grossed out. I’m sure it’s to the soda machine, I let the waitress know about it and I only got a “oh so that’s where that went” not a sorry not a comp for the drink. Nothing. I always tip, so enjoy your $1 tip. Learn customer service thanks. 😊 See attached photo for why I’m pissed. Not even pissed about the wait times but had to unfortunately include it. I will not be coming back here again and if it wasn’t for you guys being attached to a mall. I’m 99% certain your business would die.

Just got take out. Ordered 2 kids meals and a large boneless wing meal. Got everything into car and thought we had it all. Missing the drinks (2 chocolate milks) with the kids meals which really makes the meal since it’s such tiny portions. Didn’t realize til we were already 15 mins away. Mac and cheese was old pasta with dried cheese on it, wouldn’t get again. Boneless wings were good. Tried to address the missing drinks on the app where we ordered and it only led to a number to call which did not get answered by anyone.

I have been to this location once, and no matter how starving I am, I will never return. It was a Friday evening and they were NOT busy at all. I'd say 1/4 of the tables were occupied, it was almost oddly quiet for a Friday night with games going. We were seated immediately which was nice as I had my 4 year old and 8 month old dying for dinner. We were seated near 6:40pm and placed an order for a sprite, a beer, a cocktail, the trio dip, potato wedges, and the kids tender/fry combo within the first 10 minutes of being seated. 20 minutes later the drinks, trio dip, and wedges arrived. Not my daughter's tenders though. The waitress apologized for the wait and said she would follow up with the kitchen, so she acknowledged the delay even before we did which shows me she sees the problem. About 20 minutes after that she returned to check on us and we added one more beer, one more cocktail, a sandwich and a 10 piece boneless wing to our order. She didn't give an update on my daughter's tenders, we had to ask again. 20-30 minutes after adding the above items to our order it all comes out at once, but still no food for my daughter. On top of that, they incorrectly made the wings and gave us traditional. We sent them back and continued to tolerate this nonsense. At this time it's 8:00pm and my daughter is utterly starving and continuously asking for her food, which was ordered at 6:50pm. It wasn't until now that they finally brought out her food, which was quite literally 3 small tenders and a handful of fries. My husband expresses his frustration. While it wasn't the waitress's fault and we acknowledged that, we let her know how the delay for our child's food was beyond unacceptable, how the incorrect food is unacceptable, and we were so unhappy that we didn't even want their food anymore and just wanted to leave. She said we had to pay, but we didn't even consume any of the food as we are a family who waits for our children first. We asked for a manager and she said we still had to pay for the drinks which was fine, we did consume one beer and one cocktail and one sprite during that time, however she wanted to charge for unconsumed drinks as well. I want to reiterate they were NOT busy. The establishment was not loud, there was no excuse for the atrocious service we received. We asked for a manager and waited another 15 minutes before finally leaving and heading to the restaurant across the way and was served everything we ordered within 30 minutes. Our experience was downright volatile and they should just close up shop.

Came into the mall entrance and waited for 10 minutes for another customer to tell us we have to go to the other side. Once over there we waited another 10 minutes until I asked the bartender if some was there to help us. They said someone should be there shortly. Finally, someone came and seated us and left. After no one came up for another 5 - 10 minutes we left. To be honest there was only maybe 3 tables worth of people there, so there isn’t any excuse. If I could give a 0 star rating I would.

Incredible staff- from servers to kitchen staff. Super friendly, quick service and just good vibes. I came in as a vegan not expecting a lot, asked if they could possibly bake the cauliflower wings and pretzel bites (for other veggies- if fried, they use beef tallow) and they couldn’t have been more accommodating if they tried. Highly recommend this location, and hope to return soon!

Put in a online order to pick up at 6pm. Lots of people were waiting for their online order. That’s cool, I’ll wait too. Talked to some other patrons and they were waiting for 45 minutes for their food. I asked for my order to be completed 3 times between 6pm-7pm. They literally skipped us twice. Ran out of the food that we wanted and It took them an hour to complete my order while the walk in line was in and out of the door within minutes. I went to cancel my order and then bam! My order is ready an hour later! It may have been the day or whatever but waiting an hour for fast food is crazy.

I came into the restaurant today with my 4 sons after their doctors appointment around 3:15pm and it wasn’t crowded or super busy. We ordered and sat down to eat. After we finished my youngest son who has ADHD accidentally knocked over his drink and it got all over the table and ground. We were trying to clean it up with napkins but they said they would do it. Two of the female workers were staring and looked annoyed that they had to clean it up. The only kind employee was a lady named Mandy, she came over with a mop and didn’t make us feel bad because obviously it was an accident. I apologized twice and the other workers didn’t say anything. Even my 5 year old son kept apologizing. They need to do better with customer service and compassion. Thank you MANDY for not making us feel terrible you’re an amazing employee and Panda Express is lucky to have you.

If you're on the lookout for a fantastic Korean BBQ experience, Yakiniku Chodang is an absolute must-visit! Nestled in Kaneohe Bay, this charming spot has quickly become a favorite for many. The ambiance strikes the perfect balance between elegance and comfort, with warm decor and soft lighting that sets the mood for any occasion—be it a casual dinner or a special celebration.
I recently moved to Kaneohe bay after getting married 4 months ago, Yakiniku Chodang would have to be my favorite korean bbq spot by far. It's never too crowded, kept clean and always has good service. My husband and I have been served by the same lovely person a few times though she wasn't here this time. That's okay as tonight's server was a chill guy with humor. Would very much recommend this place if you're hungry and don't want to wait :)

This place is filthy, greasy floors & chairs but the worst is the meat. Very poor quality. Spicy pork was half a plate of pure fat, the steak was chewy. Staff was sweet though. You're better off going to fast food down the street at tasty BBQ where the side dishes are fresh & delicious.

As a Korean, it’s insulting that you call this k bbq. Receiving this kind of pork belly was an insulting experience and it’s a disgrace. It’s not pork belly. It’s garbage that doesnt have any retail value. charging $34 per person for this is borderline fraud. 사장님. 장사 똑바로 하세요 인간적으로.

I recently had dinner at this restaurant and was thoroughly impressed from start to finish. The moment I walked in, the warm and stylish décor created a welcoming atmosphere that felt both elegant and comfortable. Soft lighting, tasteful music, and thoughtful seating arrangements made the space ideal for everything from a casual meal with friends to a special celebration. The service was exceptional. The staff greeted me with genuine smiles, offered helpful suggestions from the menu, and checked in at just the right moments without ever feeling intrusive. Their attention to detail and professionalism added an extra layer of enjoyment to the evening. The food was the highlight of the night. Each dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor, showing a careful balance of fresh ingredients and creative preparation. I especially enjoyed the seafood entrée, which was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The dessert selection was equally impressive, with a decadent chocolate cake that was the perfect finish to the meal. Prices are reasonable considering the quality of both the cuisine and the service. Overall, this restaurant delivers a complete dining experience—delicious food, attentive service, and a relaxing ambiance. I left feeling satisfied and eager to return, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a memorable meal.

Came here for a quick dinner on the way up north. Had their Machiko Chicken Curry Combo. The service was super fast, food came in less than 5 minutes. Portions were huge too, had 6 pieces of chicken with a big slab of chasiu on my ramen. Taste wise, the ramen broth was kinda a mix of pork and dashi, clean taste but there’s just a miss of umami. Gyoza was just like any normal dumpling. The curry was on the sweet side compared to other places. The chicken was the best on plate as it stayed crispy the entire meal, and juicy too. Just wished it had more flavour like ginger or garlic to compliment the curry.

Burger King is a popular fast-food chain that specializes in grilled burgers, crispy fries, and delicious shakes. During my visit, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food; it looked just like the enticing images in their advertisements. The attention to detail in preparation made this experience feel more akin to fine dining than typical fast food. The establishment was clean and well-managed, with friendly staff who genuinely cared about customer satisfaction.
Came in to use the restroom and grab a quick bite. Noticed that the burgers coming out looked just like the ad pictures. All our food was made with care and attention to detail. I can't believe this is my review for a fast food location and it sounds like a fine dining establishment. But its the truth. We stumbled upon a place that is well managed, has properly trained staff, that cares for its customers. Oh wait they blocked off the soda machine. I take back everything i said. This place was ok.

Know that if your dining in- no free refills. You'll have to purchase another drink. Bought a few burgers: 2 whopper Jr's + 1 fish burger: whoppers were dry & not really warm. Fish burger bread wasn't warm. Kids didnt like it. They have cheese balls things: not worth it- idk if its the batter & insides but not getting that again. They do have crown hats to help yourself for the kids to - AWESOME 👌🏽 Service: thorough & kind workers Parking: easy to find stalls near entrance.

This is hands down the worst Burger King on the island, and that is saying a lot, because Burger King isn’t great to begin with. The service here is almost non existent. If you don’t go through the drive through, don’t plan on having anyone take your order any time soon. Last time I was there, I stood and waited for 30 minutes, while the manager did everything she could to avoid eye contact before I finally gave up and left. Save yourself the diarrhea and skip this place at all costs.

9.8.25 2ish in the afternoon. I only ordered a large little ice root beer drink but was given a large drink with little ice and 60 percent soda water with little root beer syrup. Someone needs to check syrup to soda water ratio immediately! Mahalo. L. Silva.

Mary was amazing, customer service was the best I have had on the Windward side. Food was hot and fresh. The dining room was really clean. Best KFC in Hawaii

With how slow it was, customer service was okay. But the restaurant is practically empty and not that many employees. I still enjoy a good KFC. So. If you not in a rush and have down time this is a good place to just take your time and have something to eat.

I did a mobile order but went inside to pick up...the lobby was locked and they had to open up to let custers out and others in. I waited over 20 minutes after promised food time. They continued to lock us customers inside the restaurant without explanation-we later found out they had a large order and couldn't accommodate and additional orders-it would have been nice to know why we were locked inside. I had to ask at the counter to be let out. Won't go back anytime soon.

Today Sat April 5th 2025 at 4:20p until 5pm I unfortunately for me I had a very bad experience at this KFC drive thru, I attempted to order 2 center breast , the women said she had a center breast and a side breast, I asked if they were small and asked how long were they out. She said she would check. She came back and said they had been out about 20 mins and explained she had only small center breast and the other a slightly larger side breast. I said I I’ll wait for a new batch of center breast., And I could see she was visually annoyed and for some unknown reason could not understand my request. After a few conversations back and forth with the cook, he pleasantly enough understood immediately and rang me up. I asked when will my order be ready. He said 30-40 mins. I returned at 5 pm. The women boxed the chicken and I thanked both of them. She didn’t acknowledge. I checked the chicken before I left and noticed there were 2pieces, in the box and they looked overly fried. After I got home and examined the chicken and the crust, tasted burnt and the chicken had been twice fried. I assumed it was the same two pieces they wanted to give me earlier. I attempted to call them back but the called failed twice when ai tried to speak to a supervisor. I took pictures as I will follow up, I worked for an International airline and I know how important customer service .

We have been trying to order thru app for 40 mins to get special & KEPT getting booted off... & now I see they've closed & it's 20 til 8.... hello, do they not hire people who want to do their job?? I am certain they need Management replacement! This is not the 1st or 5th time they have closed early.... once 18 mins early! Just because THEY are frustrated w/ the promo on Tuesdays- doesn't mean another Manager of THAT store couldn't get workers that WANT a job! if the job is too hard-- move on!!! They are finally getting the customers back.... & ppl wonder why McDonalds makes all the $$ up there??!! Gee, I wonder why... they empty a 10-12 car line in 8-10 mins & have specials all the time & tons inside the store! It took 2 mins to get 2nd pic bc bf called pissed bc had been trying for 40 mins on app!

Restroom doesn’t have a locker, OMG! We asked plate but they didn’t have it, we asked forks for 7 of us, but they gave us only three. The lady on the front was so mean. The bread was given without butter. No recommended at all. There is no air conditioning

Well..I don't know how the atmosphere is inside. But outside it's sad. We ordered online and the order was ready in 15 minutes. BUT..when we pulled up to get our order it was going to be 13 more minutes because they ran out of regular chicken. No big deal. I asked my Grandson to go in and get our food.and everything looked OK, he said. When we got home the Gravy for the mashed potatoes had melted the container and Gravy was every where. I called, and., called and called , and called and called and called..no one will answer the phone.. I haven't tried the chicken or Cole slaw yet... Hope it ok

My go to for smoothies, they use real fruits. I love their Taro smoothie must try! and the Strawberry/Mango smoothie is ono. I haven't tried much of their food because they run out but I like their stuffed Eggplant and oyster chicken is good. Rice cake and coconut/red bean sesame ball is a good treat too.

I really enjoyed the Jai noodles. I hardly see that as being on of the choices for plate lunches. Their pork hash is really good too. Another good recommended is the stuffed eggplant. Forgot to take pictures of what we ate. We were famished.

If you're on the hunt for an authentic sushi experience, look no further than Kozo Sushi. This charming local counter-serve chain specializes in a delightful array of sushi rolls, nigiri, and even Hawaiian-style Japanese dishes that will tantalize your taste buds. As soon as you enter, you'll be enveloped by a warm atmosphere reminiscent of traditional Japanese sushi-ya, complete with friendly staff who not only provide attentive service but also speak Japanese—adding to the authenticity.
The sushi was really good, I liked the flavors and rice texture. I called in a order for a few platters, everyone I encountered was very friendly and nice. I would definitely recommend this place and come back. It was a perfect for 10-15 of us today.
Pono G — Google review
Great place to pick up sushi! There are a few pre-made rolls, but most of the sushi is made fresh while you wait. Prices range from under $5 to over $30 for a party platter. It is possible to order in advance for the platters. There is just a bench inside for seating, so when it gets crowded you end up ✋️ outside. Prices are very reasonable and it really is good. Be sure to pay attention to the store hours because they close mid afternoon!

If you’re a true sushi lover, this place is an absolute must. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted with warm hospitality that instantly feels like you’ve been welcomed into a traditional Japanese sushi-ya. The staff not only provide impeccable service — attentive, gracious, and prompt — but they also speak Japanese, adding an extra layer of authenticity that’s increasingly rare to find outside of Japan. But let’s talk about the real star here: the sushi. The hand rolls are, without exaggeration, the best. The fish is impossibly fresh, the rice is seasoned to perfection, and the balance of flavors is masterful. Every bite is crafted with such care and precision that you can tell the chefs are true artisans of their craft. What’s the catch? They close early — like, 3 PM early. And that’s honestly the only downside. It’s a bit of a heartbreak knowing something this incredible isn’t available for dinner. But if you can plan your day around it, you’ll be rewarded with a sushi experience that’s unforgettable.

Excellent food and service! We had so much fun chatting with the employees here! The food was unforgettable! My son loved the California rolls. We enjoyed the Spicy Ahi Maki and the Philly roll. My daughter loved the kid's Spam Musubi pack too. Thank you for a memorable dining experience ladies and “Grouchy Old Lady”😂❤️

I've tried Sushi all over America. I was thinking hey in Hawaii and the source of ingredients basically nearby can try fresh so called good stuff. I was more surprised to find out fake crab and canned tuna was used except the select raw options. I saw the reviews and I'm disappointed. The few pieces with raw ingredients did taste good. So my take maybe is get that instead. Now that I understand much of sushi is made from canned ingredients. Other places I go will expect a similar price range. The rice was farely bland as well more so than a normal experience. I'm likely not going to see sushi the same ever again. My local stores must have some good sushi makers. I have two restaurants in my town that are near no water and so far any sushi tried at them is really good. I may have had higher thoughts on food quality being in Hawaii but I'm finding it's not the case. The prices here are attractive though and if looking for a healthier bite to eat. It's not a bad route. Just in regards to quality or I guess quality of ingredients to taste, big miss.

Huli Huli Chicken is a traditional Hawaiian dish that has been enjoyed since 1955. This grilled chicken is marinated in teriyaki sauce, giving it a delicious flavor. When visiting Hawaii, many people make sure to try this iconic dish. It's often served as a plate with rice and macaroni salad. One popular roadside spot near Kualoa Ranch offers this mouthwatering chicken along with other options like beef and fish.
Delicious chicken!! We saw them grilling and the smell was so enticing! If you are driving around the island (and who wouldn't be, the beaches on the east coastline are beautiful) this is the perfect stop for a tasty meal. They serve in to-go containers and tables to sit and eat and also have a bathroom on site.

Half chicken was good, plenty of space to set. Good spot after long drive. I saw reviews from many people on another website, and all say good thing about food here especially chicken, so I try it and it was yummy!

The chicken was so juicy, smoky, and flavorful cooked perfectly with that sweet huli huli glaze. Portions are generous, and the mac salad and rice make it a complete meal. Casual spot, friendly service, and definitely worth the stop if you’re in Oʻahu!
Raj — Google review
We drove past this spot the first day of our trip and I noted to stop just based on the smell of the chicken cooking outside. Last full day, we ended up stopping and had one of the best meals of our trip. The chicken is perfectly smokey and flavorful. I regret not bringing the glaze home. Mac and salad were the cherry on top of a great meal. For sure stop by if you get the chance

We stopped by Yummy Huli Huli before heading to Kualoa Ranch and I am so glad we did!! One of the best meals we had while in Hawaii. The chicken was so flavorful and not dry at all and the beef was marinated well. Maybe sure to ask for extra Huli Huli sauce!!! The restaurant itself is nothing crazy and the people selling merchandise inside were a little aggressive but the food made up for any issues!! Definitely recommend!!

They have nicely grilled chicken here. They charge per scoop of rice and per pack of sauce but the chicken tasted great. There is also a gift shop selling souvenirs.
