Restaurants near Fort Shafter

“Good service today at Fort Shafter Subway. Came for dinner and was out with food in 5 minutes. Albert and Gina quickly put together our sandwiches and we're very helpful, confirming my order with me and everything so I get what I paid for.”

“These guys take creative to a whole new level! Well done!”

“Very good food.”

“My favorite panang curry on island! Attentive staff and fun atmosphere.”

“Delicious malsadas. Very crowded. It was a little slow because they make the malsadas when you order. Definitely try the original!”

“和テイストのフレンチで、とても美味しいですね。”

“I am a Miami to Alaska transplant and seek out great Cuban food and cafe’ whenever I travel. Castro’s is the real deal!! The Cuban Cafe’ is spot on and the French Toast with the Rum Sauce is off the charts!! Enough food to feed two! The owner is friendly & engaging as is the staff. Stop in, grab a Cafe’ and chill on the sidewalk seating while your breakfast is created..I say created because it is a true work of art…at least in my professional opinion.”

“A wonderful experience at Maze in Honolulu, largely thanks to the exceptionally warm service, strong flavor and sauce work, and consistently good dishes from beginning to dessert.

What sticks in our mind were the oyster (meaty oyster that didn't feel powdery as some larger ones do, balanced but not overwhlemed by the sauce on top), the basil jook that came with the scallop dish (so well developed), the Washugyu and daikon broth that came with the main.

Also want to compliment the pacing of the meal as we never felt like we were waiting for a long time for any of the dishes. Pretty much perfectly well paced for preferences.

Overall, adding in everything into the experience would not hesitate to come back here again.”

“Great service😊 Friendly staff ❤️”

“Senia delivers an exceptional dining experience, with attentive, polished service and an intimate ambiance—especially with the option to sit at the chef’s counter and watch the kitchen at work.

The ahi cigar and triple-smoked salmon were highlights. The interplay of textures, aromas, and contrasting flavor notes throughout the meal was thoughtful and beautifully executed. There is a clear sense of creativity and technical precision behind the food.

One minor refinement: some dishes leave guests to construct their own bites. A more controlled composition could better showcase the chef’s intended balance of flavors and textures. Overall, an inventive, refined, and memorable experience deserving of five stars.”

“4.7/5 — nearly perfect. Sushi Sho was one of the best and most focused sushi experiences I’ve had. The meal is prepaid through Tock, with gratuity included, so once you sit down the experience is entirely about the omakase.

Don’t expect caviar, truffles, or unnecessary luxury ingredients added to justify the price. Sushi Sho is about technique, precision, and thoughtful combinations of both local Hawaiian and Japanese ingredients. The rice, temperature, seasoning, texture, and progression of each piece were incredibly deliberate. It feels like a pure sushi experience rather than a luxury tasting menu disguised as omakase.

Keiji Nakazawa wasn’t behind the counter during our visit, but that didn’t detract from the experience. The sushi masters were extremely attentive and detail-oriented, with warm, personal service throughout.

We spent about $490 per person all-in, including sake, beer, and one additional piece. Expensive, absolutely, but the value is in the craftsmanship and execution rather than flashy ingredients. 4.7/5 and about as close to perfect as a sushi experience gets for me.”

“The food, wine, service, and atmosphere are amazing. I dine here every 2 months and I am always very impressed. Thank you for your continued excellence!”

“The appearance, flavor, and price are all satisfactory; I will certainly return here again. 💯👍 I would recommend this to anyone visiting Hawaii. 🌺🤙”

“Their hawaiian plate was so Ono & the portions were big. Highly recommended.”

“Such a fun place. They have swing chairs at the bar. love it!!”

“We RAN to Waffle and Berry after the zoo. We showed up 15 minutes before closed and they were quick to calm us. As long as we ordered by 2 minutes before close, we would be served. And then they showed up with a snack plate for our toddler. He absolutely loved it!! We absolutely loved our dessert. Crispy, warm waffle. Sweet ice cream and berries. Unbelievably welcoming environment.”

“Don’t think about it just come in or order take out from here. The food is amazing. The people are the best and remember who you are. Follow the Cat Signs!”

“Our son took us there when we were visiting. Best coffee I have ever had. Never bitter”

“I liked it here, but the meat had a bit of a strange gas flavor. Like they had cooked it over some gas that permeated the meat. Other than that, it was really good.”

“Culinary magic! Was taken here by family, not by choice. However- my next trip, I’ll be visiting on my own and trying a bit more of the menu. So thankful to have experienced this place and dining adventure!”

“People seem to come here for matcha but their EARL GREY GELATO is the best EVER. I have tried so many earl grey desserts. This is one of the best. I tried earl grey, hojicha, lilikoi, matcha, black sesame and ube. They are all amazing. Loved the rich flavors.

FYI, there is a sitting area if you want to eat inside the building :)”

“Don’t let the exterior fool you, this is no greasy spoon. We had a MARVELOUS breakfast here. All of the food was beyond compare, budget-friendly priced, and the staff is exceptional. Highly recommended. We will be back whenever we are in Honolulu.”

“I was visiting Honolulu from Wisconsin, and this food truck ended up being one of the best surprises of the whole trip. I’ll be honest the walk to it looks a little sketchy at first since you head down this small alley, but don’t let that fool you. Once you get back there, it’s a whole different story. The customer service was awesome super friendly, super welcoming. And the food? Straight-up 10/10. The loaded barbecue fries were insane, packed with flavor and totally worth every bite. The burgers were just as amazing, juicy and cooked perfectly. Everything we tried was out of this world. If you’re in Honolulu, don’t sleep on this place. I’d come back in a heartbeat.”

“The food was absolutely delicious! Top notch tempura that is fried fresh. It was served in 2 courses ensuring fresh frying. I ordered shrimp and vegetables. The dipping sauce was light but my fav part with the additional dipping salts/powders that added more flavor depth.
The service was excellent. The staff were kind. The Resturant was clean.”

“my favorite is well all of it, Ahi poke bowl to pick one. nom”

“Ryders Poke was such a great find! The food was incredibly fresh, crispy, and full of flavor. You can really tell they take pride in the quality of what they serve. The owners were also extremely friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. Great food, great people, and a place I’ll definitely be coming back to. Highly recommend Ryders Poke!”

“Our family had the best time. Luau was authentic and in a spacious venue with breathtaking views. Staff were friendly. Performances were unforgettable. Activities were engaging. Definitely the best luau I’ve been to. Mahalo Experience Nutridge.”

“Love the food. Delicious. Fresh and hot”

“Wonderful hospitality!! And always delicious. 😍 Always a must stop when we are in town. Plus the atmosphere is great as well.”

“We’ve been to Domodomo several times, and we’ve been very satisfied every time. It’s especially nice to have such a great restaurant in the Ewa area, where it can be hard to find good places to eat. The atmosphere is wonderful, and we’ve tried almost everything on the menu—everything was delicious! The service was also excellent. Domodomo is definitely one of our family’s favorite restaurants. Highly recommended!”
