Restaurants in Haleiwa

“Enjoyed a fantastic evening at Toa Luau!! Very informative and fun; beautiful dancing; loved the whole atmosphere!! I can’t recommend it more highly!!”

“Two thumbs up, 5 stars. We first visited their restaurant in Kahuku a few months ago. Quality food at either place, a definite local favorite of ours. Can’t go wrong with the shrimp dish’s or any other items on the menu. The inside of the restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly. We’ll be back, mahalo.”

“First time here for this local resident! I've driven past this intersection for decades and have no idea when this business popped up. Great location, parking, outdoor seating (kid and dog friendly), and a solid, healthy menu. I had the vegetarian burrito with tofu, and scarfed it down before remembering to take a picture. That's how good it was. A trickier proposition when it's raining, but that's also when the flies leave the area.”

“So it’s like this… Kua ‘Aina Sandwich Shop has got to be the best burger for the job if you’re hungry amidst shopping for all the great gift ideas!! Bacon burger with all the fixings and also with the green chili Tabasco is mayjah and it scratches the itch every time. Really good as a medium rare burger. So juicy!! One of my favs!! Kudos!!”

“JAX is by far the best pizza on all of the islands. The handmade dough and premium toppings in a 600 degree wood fired oven . Come get some its worth the trip!!! Salads and breadsticks all soooooo good”

“Food was amazing! Well worth the drive!!!”

“It is everything and then some. Great experience”

“Had a disappointing dinner in the area, but I won’t reveal the name . I think businesses usually deserve a second chance.
Soooo, picked up a pizza for later and super happy we did. It was delicious, even cold.
We will definitely be back.
And location was so cute, look forward to eating and hanging out there.
Well done wicked hi pizza ?”

“Stopped in for a quick bite and was pleasantly surprised at how delicious the food was! Cannot wait to return! 10/10”

“The last time we came to Hawaii, we came to the Sunrise Shack for an açaí bowl. It was so good we had to come back! I highly recommend it if you are visiting the North Shore. Plenty of shade, plants and seating!”

“Absolutely wonderful meal every time we go! Best food truck in Haleiwa!”

“Best açaí bowls and smoothies!”

“Ate there twice today. Food is so good. Had shrimp Tacos for lunch. Seafood platter for dinner.”

“We love the Sunrise Shack!! Best smoothie bowls anywhere!!”

“Would highly recommend Teddys burgers, the best by far!!”

“Really fantastic açaí bowl and coffee. I got the white chocolate Mac nut latte and it was awesome. We tried the Brazilian style açaí bowl and loved it. Super fresh fruit! Will definitely be back!”

“Secret sauce is HEAVENLY and the burgers are huge and people are really nice. Nice eating spot with shade. Definitely a must stop.”

“The best Sandwich shop on Island, we’ve been to both locations and love our Haleiwa Store since it’s closer. Perfect for a trip to or from the beach,We love the generous amounts of meats and vegetables and not to forget to amazing Papaya seed dressing. The Staff is always friendly. We love Storto’s”

“I went to the North Shore and ate it for dinner on the recommendation of a Snap writer!!!! My aunt wasn't there, but the male owner was there, but he was very kind and delicious. Hehehe, he's Korean, so he took care of everything and it was delicious!!! The best!!🩵”

“Best burritos BY far in all of Oahu! Highly recommend!!”

“Hands down best food we had on Oahu. Fresh, beautiful, balanced flavors and unique menu options. We’ll be back for sure!”

“Just go there and get it.”

“In Oahu, Hawaii, you can find the best gelato. They also offer vegan options and have a fantastic atmosphere that makes you feel welcome at all times. The Ube Gelato is highly recommended. While the service can be inconsistent at times, the overall experience is positive.

Vegetarian options: They also offer vegan alternatives. Predominantly fruits such as lemon, lime, coconut, and others.

Parking: The parking lot is often full, making it difficult to find an available space.

Kid-friendliness: 100% Kid friendly ??

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible available. RAMP”

“Service was fast and food yummy!”

“Everything we orderered was delicious! BLAT (Tempe Bacon, Lettuce Avo Tomatoe)on whole grain brread w garlic sauce, the Breakfast sandwhich, Maca Me Happy smoothie, and the vegan musabi was great. Vegan w alternative sauce choices, (coconut bacon, etc) Much thought went into their menu options, made to orderr!! I have et at every cafe Celestial Natural Foods has hosted. (since 1979). Thiis one is hands down the best in flavor, ingredients, creative originality, presentation w "green" packaging. A must if you desire a healthy organic takeout! ☆☆☆☆☆”

“WOW!!! I am so incredibly impressed with this hidden gem 💎😍 I cannot wait to be back!”

“We walked up and ordered a supreme pizza with artichoke hearts and it was hot, fresh and ready to go, as promised, in 15 minutes. Awesome place.!! Great smoke flavor. The crust is amazing.

While we ordered onsite, you could easily order ahead.

Highly recommended!”

“Eat here when you are on Oahu.”

“We stopped here today for lunch and we were not disappointed. We ordered the #1 Butter Garlic Combo and the #3 Lemon Pepper combo and the only regret is we didn’t order a to go order!! The food was fantastic and very flavorful!! I highly recommend this place!!”

“5 of us went to the bar and ordered food and drinks. Our waiter, named Guy, rocked! He really made the experience. He was new but obviously had experience in customer service. The food was great, the drinks nice, the service was the best!”

“am not a fan of nuts but my husband is so we had to stop here. They had MANY samples and I discovered several kinds that I enjoyed. It's a very small shop but you can see Macamia trees, try samples of nuts and coffee, and check out the items in the store. I definitely recommend making a quick stop here.”

“My husband and I came there to try the famous giovannis shrimps but heard that the spicy shrimp from this place were very good and rated by famous K-pop singers. Let me tell you, this was 10x better than giovannis, we order two menus and added 5more shrimps each time for just 3$. The best shrimps we’ve ever had!!!!”

“Off the main drag and really friendly. The salmon just melted in my mouth.”

“Perfect North Shore pit stop! The acai bowls here are super refreshing, packed with flavor, and loaded with fresh toppings. We got ours to go and they held up great—cool, creamy, and satisfying.

The vibe of the place matches the area—laid-back, clean, and welcoming. Staff was friendly and the service was quick. Definitely a go-to if you’re in Haleiwa and craving something healthy, cold, and delicious!”

“Best Açaí bowl I’ve ever had!”

“Always amazing! Best food! Best staff! One of my favorite places to eat on the North Shore.”

“The food was prepared very well and delivered in a timely manner. Very tasty and fresh. Will definitely go there again.”

“Stopped by real fast for an evening beverage on the way back to town, and their seasonal drink "Organic Fields"- matcha, coconut water and a hint of honey- is really quite tasty! Refreshing, not too sweet, and the matcha and coconut water pair well together :) perfect post-beach trip!”

“Just amazing Thai food! Would have been an easy five stars if it wasn't for the automatically added 10% gratuity before asking for another 15-22% tip (at a food truck with no sitting area and ordering on a display).”

“Great flavored drinks and the staff were really personable and caring. 6 of my family members ordered flavored sodas and absolutely loved them! Plenty of seating for finishing your drinks. Perfect place to get a great drink to complement any food that you get. Highly recommend!

Kid-friendliness: Plenty of room to have your kids play around the picnic tables.”

“This place has great food and cool atmosphere for the perfect winning combination. Stopped in with a few friends visiting Oahu for the first time and what a difference it is getting away from the hustle of Waikiki. Sat and enjoyed some music by LAVA and awesome food. U need to check this place out”

“The best shave I’ve on the island. Definitely a popular stop on the North shore but worth the drive! They are efficient and they have the best flavours!”

“Great service! Great food! We recommend and visit every trip! Never had bad service. One time I said something about the amount of shrimp and they quickly added more with no reaction. The cook always wants you to be happy 😊”

“spent two weeks on hawaii and did all the fancy things. This place is what really marked me the most! Best views, great vibe and AMAZING food!!! Dinner with the most gorgeous sunset view. Spent my last night on the island here! Nowhere I’d rather have been at!”

“The drinks, The Catch of the day(Marlin) The views, the ocean breeze, the service. ALL 5 STAR.”

“Garlic shrimp is another place of your choice in North shore. Less long line and it’s so good!! Variety of thai food. I love Larb, tomyum noodle, papaya salad, steak for my kids and thai tea!! Don’t miss to try this place as a food truck:)”

“Crepes are absolutely fantastic!”

“We had a great experience at the fruit shack. The dragonfruit cane juice was amazing! And the staff was even sweeter. Will recommend and come back.”

“I’m picky on my iced latte but they made just the way I love it”

“In love. Got the Plantation Tea & ended up going back multiple times for the Li Hing Lemonade! Its sooo good. Just wish more frapps can be veganized. Now that I'm back in CT I make my own Li Hing with Aldi's brand lemonade. Next I wanna make margaritas...”

“Everything we tried was delicious! We went to Oahu for a week and ate here multiple times during our stay. Croissant breakfast sandwich with any kind of meat is delicious. Spam fried rice plate is great if you're looking for a big breakfast. The pastries, cinnamon rolls and pies were fantastic! The coconut cake was my favorite though! perfect, light, fluffy cake. I don't even like coconut!”

“Highly recommended! This place is great!”

“This cafe is located across from Matsumoto Shave Ice.
We brew our coffee with beans grown in Hawaii.
The staff had a bad attitude, but there are terrace seats, so it's nice.
If a shave ice person sits down without permission, you will be warned (there is a warning sign)”

“The best ahi and fish tacos I have ever had. Huge portion of ahi served in the taco. I crave them everyday!”

“Flavors of the bowls and smoothies were perfectly balanced. Service was excellent and she made our bowls very quickly. I was surprised how fast she could make 4 items. The whole environment and kitchen area was a little dingy/dirty and could use a good deep cleaning...but still very tasty. We will be back.”

“THE best tacos and burritos around, and to add onto that the hot sauce should be world famous. 5 stars!”

“Great Mexican restaurant in the North Shore. The staff here are all great and friendly.

Their dragon fruit margarita was tasty and would love to get it again. The fish are freshly caught and are great as tacos.

They started to do Karaoke on Saturday nights after the restaurant closes for the night. Great place to get a drink afterhours.”

“The garlic shrimp is the best comparing to other places on the island. I saw people pilling the shell by hand. Don’t do that! Use your mouth and teeth. The shell is flavorful, and don’t miss that!”
