I recently tried Kalai’s Hawaiian Kitchen at 2200 US-98 in Mary Esther, FL 32569, and I have to say it’s hands-down the best Hawaiian food on the entire Florida Panhandle. Just a quick drive from Navarre, this family-owned spot feels like a little slice of the islands—warm, welcoming, and full of real aloha spirit. The owners and staff are super friendly, like you’re part of the ohana from the moment you walk in.

This place was everything we needed! Been missing home and wanting some garlic shrimp and also got the salmon and it blew me away! The teriyaki sauce was the best I've probably ever had! Everything was cooked perfectly and amazing flavor. Staff was EXTREMELY nice. Felt like I was home for a little bit. They also have aloha drinks!

100% recommend! Family of 6 ate here for the first time tonight and we will be back! Everyone ordered a different plate so we could share and we couldn't eat it up fast enough! Clean place and very friendly people! Delicious dinner!!!
