New American Restaurants near Aiea, HI

“Husband & I was very pleased with our waitress. Wished I knew her name. It’s our 1st time eating here & she recommended some plates. I had left overs so I signaled her for a box & she came back laughing because I looked like I was doing “baby shark”. She made my day & I will not signal baby shark again at any restaurants. **sigh** Anywho… We will go back to try other plates. Yummy food, Awesome service & perfect atmosphere!!“

“The staff are wonderful and my twins 👯‍♀️ got to order pizzas to bake at home 🏠 it made them really happy“

“Sunset Lanai ia a great bar with an awrsomr view. They have a really nice bar area and outdoor patio that overlooks pearl harbor. The bar tender was very friendly and prompt. The wings were great, just crispy enough. The fries were really good, seasoned well, and crispy to perfection. Defineftly would go back.

This place is on post.“

“We love our date nights at Senia. The food is outstanding. Such creative flavor combinations by Chef Rush. The staff are all friendly and accommodating. The ambiance is not too loud and not too quiet, and the booth seating is very intimate. Well deserving of all their awards.“

“Outside table for one at lunch time. Korean barbecue chicken sandwich. Excellent, delicious and messie to eat. I would order again.“

“We loved both the food and the wine and the service. The place is gorgeous too. We had a wonderful time.“

“We celebrated a big anniversary at Pai and WOW - they made it extra special. We did the four course menu with wine pairings. The service was top notch. The food was inspired, creative, delicious, and locally sourced. Though the portions of each dish looked small, it was more than enough food and so delicious you wanted to eat every bite! The wine pairings were spot on, absolutely perfect with our chosen courses. The space has such a lovely vibe - clean and modern, but comfortable and well appointed. There really isn't another dining experience quite like this on the island. Justine and Kevin have created such a beautiful place with incredible food and service. Pai is definitely a must-try restaurant. We will definitely be back.“

“We had a really good experience at Yard House at Waikiki Beach Walk. The food was solid, not over-the-top amazing, but definitely tasty and worth coming back for. We ordered the carnivore pizza, orange chicken, crispy Brussels sprouts, and a few drinks, and everything hit the spot. The atmosphere was lively and fun, and service was friendly without feeling rushed. A great casual option in Waikiki when you want a reliable meal and good drinks.“

“Nice place for breakfast. They have delicious food and friendly service. The prices are a bit higher than in other places, but there is no line here. Portion size is big, so we shared. I liked the papaya boat with granola and berries a lot!“

“Amazing , delicious, out of this world“

“My husband was in search of some good fish in Waikiki. We stumbled upon this place and decided to give it a try. I’m not a seafood person so I got the chicken pasta and he tried snapper for the first time. Both of us were blown away by how tasty everything was. The portions were huge too! Out of all the places we had been to during our trip, this place is at the top. Even as a non fish eater, I loved it! There can be a wait, but it is well worth it. Try it, you’ll love it.“

“Great atmosphere, really good food, outstanding staff!“

“My wife and I were invited by friends to a special fundraiser dinner at Bar Maze, and we really enjoyed the evening. The ambiance was warm and stylish, and the service throughout the night was genuinely thoughtful.

The menu offered a lot of food, with each dish bringing something fun to the table. The snacks were a great start—the smoked salmon dip disappeared quickly, the anago with smoked egg yolk was rich and addictive, and the chicken skin with chimichurri had that “I could snack on these all night” energy. The choke garlic balls with caviar and ranch were a surprising combo that worked far better than expected.

The ahi course was bright and refreshing, and the scallop with “Hawaii XO” and puffed rice was both comforting and elegant. The cheeseburger course was just pure fun, and Ethel’s grill taco rice had a nostalgic, homey vibe. “Textures of a crack seed shop” was playful and full of little surprises, and the chestnut tiramisu was a cozy, satisfying finish.

The spirit behind the event made the night even more meaningful, and we were grateful to be part of it. Bar Maze is easy to recommend, and we look forward to visiting again.“

“Lovely people work there!“

“The taste of the food was so amazing and the service was outstanding. The price for what we ordered was so so so low! I could not believe it when I received the check! Hawaiian pancakes are a must!“

“We were fortunate to grab seats at the bar before a show at the Blaisdell. Beautiful atmosphere, very attentive server/bartender (Kalei), amazing food options and lovely hand mixed cocktails. We were pleasantly surprised and will return!“

“Amazing dinner and friendly staff from bar to dining room! Our must every time we visit Oahu!“

“Absolutely our best meal in Hawaii. The right choice to celebrate a special occasion. Our experience was so wonderful, food, wine, atmosphere all made for the best evening. Our server, Julian was absolutely top notch, extremely friendly, attentive, and was just so happy to engage ensuring the celebration was more than we expected. Kudos he deserves it. Highly recommend this place. Will definitely be back.“

“So welcoming ❤️ simple dinner or a drink at night next to the beach, priceless“

“Great atmosphere great food“

“Fabulous food and table service. Making the reservation, however, and greeting and attentiveness of maître d' staffing left much to be desired. See my private note. Sunlight at 430PM is a bit hard to take at some of the outside tables. Any pull down shading possible?“

“Just the best food, staff. Always happy. Always tasty dishes. Their wine dinners are fun. Salmon’s always perfect. A gnocchi & beef dish was especially tasty.“

“Great food, run by some great people“

“Simple Joy Vegetarian Cuisine truly lives up to its name. The food brought me so much comfort and flavor during my time in Honolulu. I had their crispy vegan egg rolls and fried rice — both perfectly seasoned, light yet satisfying, and full of texture. It’s one of those spots where you can taste the love and simplicity in every dish. Definitely worth a visit for anyone craving soulful Asian-inspired vegan eats.“

“Went here for a second time for a bday celebration party of 9 on a Saturday. Always loved the atmosphere qnd and look of the place. The food was great and tasty as i remembered, however looks like they may have been short staffed and food took a while to get to us as well as refills for water. It's understandable but the staff did a really really great job accommodating our party for the inconvenience and apologetic for the wait time. I would definately return for more. I had the boar bolognase, was super super good to me to where it was perfect amount of pasta and meat (not just all pasta). I would get that item again. Mahalo for accommodating us and working your best to serve your customers despite your shortage.“

“My Friend and I ordered corn beef hash. DA Bes in town. Friend wanted his eggs soft scrambled. Our waitress, Rhea, knew exactly how it's made as many establishments overcook them. She said she would inform the cook. They were served exactly as my friend, Bob, wanted. Great service even with a full house. We will become regulars for sure!!!!!“

“Great place. I stop in most days. Very friendly employees that remember you. When I have large orders for work, they get it done pretty fast too! :)“

“Awesome people, great food, cold brew, and tasty cocktails! Love this place 😋“

“I'd never been to this establishment before and was surprised at how great it was! There's a nice variety of dishes to choose from on their manu, the service is attentive & friendly, their prices are reasonable, and there's ample free parking. If you go for dinner the sunset views are spectacular! On certain evenings they have local musical groups entertaining diners as well (it can get loud, so request outside dining if you prefer a quieter setting), and membership isn't required for dining. I highly recommend enjoying a lunch or dinner here!“

“The Galley is very clean. Great atmosphere. The food is great. Eggs made to order. Fresh cut fruit daily as well as the salad bar is fresh as well. Great healthy drink choices. Always worth a visit.“

“Highly recommend this bar! It's in the Hilton Waikiki. The drinks are phenomenal and the bartenders are top tier! Shout-out to Dana, Blake, and Massimo. Great conversation, great live music on certain nights. And you can order good food from the restaurant next door for the bar. Happy hour specials and great mixed drinks!“

“The food, service and value is REALLY good!“

“this place is a Crazy Rich Asian vibe and i love it. Chef Anthony and his crew were absolutely phenomenal. A family style, off-menu 9 dish dinner was delicious. i was full by dish 7 and barely had enough room for dish 9(desert).

BTW, this place is PERFECT for private events!“

“Great wine pairing dinners!!!!! And always a fabulous sunset. What more could you want these days?“

“Great Birthday Dinner, the ambiance was excellent. The food was great and so was the service, thank you Stage ❤️ it“

“In Pearl City... where else can you find five -star dining? Where else can you find a menu that is unpredictable, but in a delightful way? Where else can you find such youthful intensity and exuberance among the "staff"? Try The Pearl.

Parking: Several minutes walk from parking to the restaurant entrance.“

“there’s 5 palm trees at paradise palms (I counted with great difficulty) but the food is great for a quick pick up in between classes. don’t expect michelin stars here.

there’s construction to the south of this place as of writing (Oct 2025) so beware of the noise.“

“We ate at the bar since they were so busy. The bartenders were attentive and quick. The pink pancakes surprised us! We thought they would be atypical but found out they were scrumptious!! The coffee was actually quite good as well - Kona blend.“

“A Military reunion, HQ29thHARNG(COMM PLT) Took place there, it was awesome!
