“Justin, you and your team did a fabulous job for our Son's wedding rehearsal dinner! We are so grateful for all the hard work leading up to our event and for your careful attention to detail and responsiveness to our requests. The food was a wonderful combination of flavors and delicious in every way! Our family and wedding party loved and raved about it all! A few of the many items people keep raving about was the amazing Macaroni Salad and your special BBQ sauces. We all agreed they were the best we ever had! It was so nice to work with someone who goes above and beyond to make an event a success. It was a night all of our guests enjoyed greatly and will not be forgetting anytime soon. With great gratitude, Carmen, John & Melanie, Eric (the proud parents) Paige and Dylan (the bride and groom) San Francisco, CA“

“Looking for an ice cream treat near Poipu? You’ll find it in Koloa at Koloa Mill Ice Cream and Coffee. They offer about 30 flavors of which “Banana Mac” was my favorite. So much so I had it three days in a row!! They also have Shave Ice, pastries and coffee. The servings are reasonably priced, generous and the service friendly!! We highly recommend a visit and while there you can visit the other quaint shops.“

“This is now our “go to” place when we are in Poipu, simply now what should be considered the best restaurant on this end of the island hands down.“

“This place is so much fun for adults and kids. The slide, pool, and activity area is so much fun and they welcome you with open arms. The food and drinks are amazing but…our service was why we kept coming back. Justyna has the best vibe and is so attentive. We recommend this place to everyone that comes to the Poipou area. ?“

“Kalapaki Joe’s Poipu knows exactly what it is—and it delivers. With the motto “No fancy words. Generous portions. Good vibes,” this spot hits the trifecta ✅

The vibe? Chill and lively 🎸, with live music setting the tone for an easygoing island night 🌙. The food? Let’s just say generous portions isn’t just marketing—these dishes come ready to satisfy 🍛🍤. It's casual dining done right, overlooking the Poipu Kai tennis courts 🎾, which adds a unique, open-air energy to the meal.

Whether you're winding down after a beach day 🏖️ or catching the tunes with friends 🥂, Kalapaki Joe’s is a place you’ll want to linger. No fuss, just flavor and fun 🌺🍹“

“The Prime Rib was enjoyed by my son-in-law, and I LOVED the Stung Honey Fried Chicken. The coconut shrimp were the perfect accompianment to the King Tiki Mai Thai. My wife loved the Asian Salad, but my DIL thought the Macademia Crusted Mahi Mahi was a bit dry. Service was SPECTACULAR, and the kids menu was extensive - our 3.5 yo grandson loved the grilled cheese sandwich with waffle fries, our 19 month old grandaughter loved the pasta with marinara, and there was also pasta with butter sauce, cheese burger sliders with waffle fries, and chicken tenders with waffle fries. The view of the pool and ocean from under the lanai was also terrific!“
