Restaurants in Ewa Beach

“Soooo I agree w/ Jungee Cho. Food exceptional, service exceptional (thank you Kingston). Wife and I are in Oahu decided to try the west side, we are blessed to be able to travel occasionally and enjoy good meals..

I got the SIGNATURE DOMOKASE (prepared menu by the chef) it’s 7 course! The wifey had the Galbi platter. Now I’m telling ya, we’ve eaten a fair amount of places on the east side. This sushi was thee most tastee and freshest I’ve ever had anywhere! (didn’t need sauces or spritzes) nor did it have it. High quality and top notch! Both our meals were memorable and full of flavor only a talented chef can pull off. The waiters made their own drinks, which was a first for me… they were on point, with attention to detail.

The location is a bit off the beaten path, it’s a restaurant within a golf course club house. If this place were located in the east side near Waikiki, you’d pay double. In short, it’s worth the trip, should we come back to the “big island” they will see us again.

Who knows if management reads these things, but if you do… bravo 👏, your staff were a joy to be around and I noticed on many occasion how they would help each other out, I love to see that!”

“<10/10> Would Recommend :)”

“I ordered some food the other night…It was fantastic. I live right up the street from them, I’ll be back again. Delicious !”

“One of my family’s favorite gems since arriving to the island we always know it’s going to be a great day once we stop at Da Kåne’s for sure and really happy that it’s close by to our place gives it a little more respect that even if you’re in a tall building or a golf course if you want to serve great food you will and that’s why we love going here because no matter what we know they no disappoint for sure Yeah Mahalo to the kitchen staff and owners never stop doing great!!!!🤙🏽❤️”

“Simply the Best Thai in Ewa.”

“Best red curry I ever had.”

“The drinks I ordered was average to other boba shops, granted that I ordered simple, flavored green tea with jelly and a lemonade slush with jelly too.
However, the service was great. I heard the cashier greet customers she hadn't seen in a while with a friendly welcome. All staff was friendly and helpful. I ordered something online, two orders but apart from each other. I was told that both would be made and ready together. But that wasnt the case and only one order was ready at pick up. It seems that communication between all involved are not in sync. The person helping me at the shop was very professional in handling the situation. There was no compensation for their error and I realized this is not the first time it happened. (They need to work on this)
But I'll be back, obviously for my order, and perhaps order a different drink to try next time.”

“Was looking for a place to get tacos in Waipahu. This came up and the food was FRESH, tasty and beautifully plated! This will be a regular spot”

“Friendly and helpful server, food was awesome!”

“boy ts was tuff 🥹🤙😯🥺🥺😂🫣😼🫣🙂‍↕️🥳🥳😎🥸🤩🤨🙂‍↕️🤨😎😛🤩😜🥸😝🥳🧐🙂‍↕️😛🙂‍↕️🤪🧐😇😇😳😳😳😳”

“wow excellent and professional services”

“I just stumbled into this place as a tourist but it is a gem! All the food was delicious, fresh, and made to order by caring employees whom I assume were the owners. I had the bulgogi and ate off the plates of the people I was with and I wish I could try everything on the sizable menu.”

“I was visiting Hawaii and decided to go to this location because it was close to where I was staying and I was running errands in the immediate area and I’m familiar with this food chain. But I don’t recommend this location because the service was horrible and the food was worse! I have been to L& L in California and the food was AMAZING! I couldn’t eat the food because it tasted warmed up and the macaroni salad was sour so I tossed it and went to another location and the food was cooked to order and I was very pleased.”

“I recently dined at Bird of Paradise Restaurant, and overall it was a pleasant and relaxing dining experience on the west side of Oahu. Located within the Hoakalei Country Club area, the restaurant benefits from a scenic setting that immediately sets a calm tone for the meal. The views of the golf course create an open and peaceful environment that feels slightly removed from the busier parts of Ewa Beach. Large windows allow natural light to fill the dining room, which adds to the comfortable atmosphere and makes the surrounding greenery feel like part of the experience.

The dining space itself has a clean, modern island aesthetic with a layout that feels spacious and welcoming. It is the kind of environment that works well for a casual lunch, relaxed dinner, or small gathering with friends or family. The restaurant strikes a good balance between casual and polished without feeling overly formal.

The menu focuses on approachable island-inspired dishes and familiar comfort foods. The seafood options stood out, highlighting the freshness that you would expect from a restaurant in Hawaii. The kitchen appears to emphasize simple preparation and balanced flavors rather than overly complicated techniques, which works well for the style of food being served. Portions were satisfying, and the presentation was neat and appealing without trying to be overly elaborate.

Service throughout the meal was friendly and attentive. The staff checked in regularly and maintained a welcoming attitude that made the experience comfortable. While the service felt relaxed rather than highly formal, it matched the casual resort-style atmosphere of the restaurant and contributed to an easygoing dining experience.

One of the most enjoyable aspects of the visit was the setting itself. Dining with open views of the golf course adds a sense of space and tranquility that enhances the meal. It is the type of environment where guests can comfortably take their time and enjoy the surroundings while eating.

Overall, Bird of Paradise Restaurant delivers a solid and enjoyable dining experience with good food, friendly service, and a scenic location that enhances the atmosphere. While it may not aim for fine dining complexity, it succeeds in offering reliable island-style cuisine in a relaxed and welcoming setting.”

“This was my first time here. I ordered the black garlic ramen with extra charsiu, a dish I regularly order when trying new ramen places. The ramen was good, I do wish there was a little more noodles. The charsiu was okay, slightly over cooked. The half boiled egg was very over cooked, yolk was chalky.

The service was very good. The staff was polite and fast. I greatly appreciate the free extra gyoza they gave me.”

“Our favorite coffee truck! The drinks are great! Our baristas are my fave! And the text to order is the best!!!! Love this truck!”

“Was pleasantly surprised, massive portions for very reasonable price. Food is heavy, but VERY flavorful. I had the mix BBQ plate and loved every bit.

Will definitely be coming back here anytime i am out this way.”

“Such a friendly place and food is awesome. I eat there 5-6 times a week and love it every time”

“Nice place for sit down and relaxed”

“ordered the eye-round steak and brisket pho along with the wafu steak, plus the tempura and sashimi add-on (which came with two shrimp, a few veggies, and five pieces of sashimi).

From the moment we sat down to the moment we left, we kept hearing the sound of sizzling plates coming from the kitchen, that’s the wafu steak, and it’s absolutely worth the noise. It was tender, flavorful, and easily my favorite dish of the night, honestly even better than their pho, which was still very good.

While I probably wouldn’t come back specifically for the pho, I’d come back for that wafu steak any day. The restaurant stayed busy the entire time we were there, the staff did a good job keeping our waters full, and the place was decently clean despite the crowd.

Overall, great food, lively atmosphere, and that wafu steak alone makes this spot worth visiting.”

“Our first stop in Hawaii after catching my high school basketball game was at Ramen Ya in Ewa. These restaurants offer a variety of local comfort food and you can do combos if you can’t make up your mind. We had pan fried gyoza as an appetizer. I haven’t had Mochiko chicken so thats what I ordered… plates in Hawaii usually come with white rice and macaroni salad. My son ordered the spicy ramen. The portions are huge so you have to have a big appetite or you’re taking leftovers home. The food was very good, we eat here every time we visit, my son ate here all the time when he was stationed at Hickam AFB. The restaurant is not very big and its no frills decorated which is standard for these kind of restaurants. The staff was very friendly and attentive and the prices for Hawaii are good. Definitely recommend this place if you’re hungry….”

“Byooooteeeful food. Non tourist Local grindz….. Far away from overcharging waikiki and overrated aulani… Eat with the locals thats how u honor this sacred island”

“Coral Rocks & Fairways: Scouting Coral Creek’s Layout Smartgolfcourses stopped by Coral Creek Golf Course to check out the grounds. The coral rock formations really frame the course beautifully. Everything from the pro shop to the starter area felt organized. Watched a few drives on Hole 10 Looks like a solid Robin Nelson design that demands accuracy. Good vibes all around.”

“fast and friendly service. perfectly prepared dishes. Taste is on point. one of my favorite Chinese spots on the island.”

“So far this is my favorite L&L. We had just arrived in the area and decided to stop for lunch in-between lease signing and venturing the staff was friendly and made us feel very welcomed. The food was great. Highly recommend this L&L Location.”

“Oh how lucky I am to have stumbled across a place like this. No clue why it’s not more popular. The inside is kinda small with only one table and 4 chairs so, the atmosphere rating is a bit low but that does not take away from the absolutely delicious food. Ate lunch with my grandparents, spent about $15 per person. The guy working the counter was nice and super patient with us. The food came out in under 5 minutes, super flavorful, and the gyoza was nice and crispy. Will definitely be coming back here again! 5/5 stars!”

“I only found out about Wai Kai a month ago after a friend bought a condo nearby. Since that time, my family and I have been back numerous times to eat at all of their restaurants and attend their Farmer's market. All of the food is outstanding which is why we even went back twice in one day to eat at 2 of their restaurants. They have amazing staff from their manager, Keith, their cooks, and their waiters and waitresses. This place is a hidden gem because it's a family friendly place that has the atmosphere of Waikiki without the crime or crowds. Both kids and adults can come and have a great time whether it's doing a water sport, eating in one of their excellent restaurants, or relaxing on their lawn during the Farmer's market where they have a wide variety of food and local products to choose from.”

“Do you have a go to baker for all your party planning needs? No?….well you’ve just found your girl.
Besides baking some of the best desserts I’ve ever had in my life, Brie is very responsive and provides great feedback when designing your cake to fit the theme of your party.

I’ve used her to make a cake for my grandmas’s 90th birthday, a gender reveal cake, my daughter’s 1st birthday cake, and my other daughter’s 2nd birthday cake. I’ve also ordered her cheesecake shooters and cupcakes. All were wiped out by my family who claim they aren’t dessert people but still come back for seconds whenever I order from her.”

“If you’re looking for a very professional tour guy, you have found the service required. We had the option to observe places we would’ve never seen nor known about without the expertise of Mr. Hawk. We highly recommend his services to all of our friends and heading that way❤️🔝”

“Nice and quiet location, good employees who take care of the customers. Ice cream and milkshakes have been great here.”

“The coffee milk tea is good. The boba was a good consistency. Music was pleasant. Staff had a great attitude and seemed in good spirits. The lack of decor and worn out furniture weren’t very nice to look at though, I’d ask for help from the staff, they probably have good ideas.”

“Normally good service. Reasonably priced food. Medium priced. Good local favorites. One of the better loco mocos on the island”

“Young worker looked like he didn't want to be there
He had hair covering his eyes and no hair net or covering.
I mentioned to the cashier and he said that's how he is.

*********
New day same kid

Why no “Hair Net”?”

“Just your typical good ol’ Starbucks.”

“I would recommend making a restaurant here in Las Vegas. Genki is a staple back home in Hawaii, and no sushi place here is up to par. I feel like you folks will make a lot of money, especially because of the amount of locals here.”
