Hawaiian Restaurants near Hauula, HI

“We love Kaya’s! The loco moco omelette is amazing and more than worth the stop! Great food, and very kind service. They also have the BEST peanut butter cookies, blueberry muffins and cheesecake! Can’t recommend enough! We will always be back!“

“Great local place! You know it's gonna be good when it's mostly locals there that the owners know.

Our favorite dish from there were the peanut butter buns. This cannot be missed! If you like peanut butter - please don't leave workout trying it from here. Gooey delicious and divine.

The garlic shrimp were yummy. Loco moco was above average. Kalbi beef was great.“

“Stopped by Aloha Shrimp and it did not disappoint! The lady working there was so sweet, and the food was absolutely delicious. We tried the spicy garlic shrimp, and it was incredible. The next day, we checked out Giovanni's Shrimp Truck because of all the hype, but honestly, Aloha Shrimp was way better!“

“Stopped for the 2 quarter pounder burger special (which was AMAZING) and decided to try the garlic fries. They were so delicious! Made sure we let aunty know how fantastic the food was. 10/10 recommend and will be going back!“

“Amazing luau! We loved every moment and especially loved the food! All seating levels were great and everyone got the same treatment regardless of our seating level. .“

“The food is not expensive and it’s fulfilling“

“10/10 Excellent perfect great Chef that prepares the food“

“Tried Ry’s finally after it being on my list for a long time. It was so delicious and they were the nicest, sweetest people! I can’t wait to come back. Definitely one of the best poke on island.“

“One of the most recommended restaurants during your 6-night stay in Waikiki??If you have plans for Kuala Ranch, be sure to stop by and try it.
It was so, so delicious. Everything was delicious, but the garlic shrimp was truly fantastic!! I highly recommend it^^“

“Although for now there is only takeout service, it is worth it. The portions are large, we ordered a "mini" lococo and the hungry hawaiian, more than enough to share between 2, the taste of the food was outstanding. The coffee is also very good. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The overall quality exceeds the cost. It seems like a must-see place on the North Shore.“

“When visiting the North Shore of Oahu HI, you have to try this place out. Malvinas ribs and garlic shrimp are da BEST!!!!!“

“We got a paniolo burger and a LOVE bowl!!! Both were amazing. Great flavors, very filling and hearty. The burger was a unique creation. My husband won’t stop saying how good it was. Very friendly staff and quick service.“

“Cute, casual, open-air place with shaded seating. Friendly, easygoing atmosphere. Shave ice is a bowl of loosely flaked ice with sweet flavored syrup, eaten with a spoon and straw. Refreshing on a hot day. Our vegan family got "ice only" fruit flavors, hence vegan ($4 a bowl). I enjoyed my combo pineapple and li hing (salted dried plum) shave ice. Vegetarians and omnivores can gild the lily by adding (dairy) ice cream and topping ($7 a bowl I think). I was tempted to get some fresh tropical fruit, also for sale, but skipped it. We saw other folks getting cut coconuts and pineapples with straws to drink the juice. Mango and other local sliced fruit was also available. A half dozen souvenir shops are in the same little parking area. The most upscale was the sea glass art shop, with works by local artists. Other shops sell tshirts, swim wear, jewelry, etc. Updated from previous review on 2022-12-28“

“Your typical plate lunch establishment, lots of different options to choose from.

I like to grab platters and pans of different dishes from them. Larger portions at more reasonable prices compared to other restaurants nearby.“

“Nice service, great food, reasonable price. The setting is in a shopping center by the parking lot. You can pay by card. Even according to the locals, it could be seen that it is a popular establishment, where mainly students from the nearby university and families go. I was satisfied with the food“

“I went to get an ice cream the other day. Service was great and prompt. I got one scoop of mint ice cream and it was a pretty big scoop which was surprising in a good way. The only thing that I didn’t really like was the fact that I couldn’t see what the flavors were any where and I had to ask. It would be nice to be able to see the flavors without asking. It was also kind of inconvenient to get to because of construction but that isn’t the snack bars fault. Other than that no complaints and would definitely recommend!“

“The care we received was outstanding. Makes me want to move here. The staff were exceptional. Dr Robin is outstanding. The patience , respect, and promptness. Just sat down and boom called us in no worries ..Take your time with the papers. Love them here. Thank you for accompany us on our vacation and helping my son feel much better. Keep up the incredible work ya all do.“

“Fantastic place. Came here twice with mainland visitors.
FOOD: I agree, the best Mac salad on the island, nuff said. Awesome huli huli chicken. Perfectly grill; not burnt; great flavor; juicy and tender. Can't go wrong with ordering the chicken plate. I really liked the smoothie, but it was not worth the price.
PRICE: two plates, smoothie for $35ish. Pricy, but the chichen and Mac were worth it.
LOCATION: Plenty of parking and easy to find, but it is located away from honolulu.
OVERALL: I will definitely return for the chicken and Mac“

“We’ve been taking out from Islander Drive Inn for many years. Its not a fancy place, just a simple, hometown spot, but i gave them 5 stars for 5 reasons.#1 Consistency - What i ate many years ago tastes the same every time we went including today. Im not left scratching my head figuring they changed cooks again. If they did, I didn’t notice. What makes me so sure? I eat the SAME THING every time.#2 Accuracy- They have never messed up my order. Nothing different, nothing missing, I get what I ordered. Utensils too.#3 Hot Food- I paid higher prices at places 5 minutes away from my house that left me feeling cold. Literally. Not here though.#3 Communication- They answer the phone quickly, I understand what they are saying and they understand me. Pleasant.#4 Convenience- Fast Service. Good location. Good parking. I always need medication picked up at Longs so picking up a meal at the same time makes it easy.#5 Local Business- Always support local.My personal favorite is always the Honey Garlic Chicken plate with all white rice. Nice,Sweet Honey sauce with perfect amount of garlic, not overpowering and Crispy juicy Chicken. Very flavorful. Good portions. My husband enjoys the homemade hamburger steak with onions and requested gravy all over everything. Fries are crinkle cut. They are decent. Good selection of other different plate lunches as well with pictures. If you haven’t been, we recommend this humble spot in Wahiawa.“

“best plate in Hawaii. Hungry Man plate broke da mouth!“

“There's not much I need to say,this place has perfect food,perfect atmosphere, and perfect service.their menu is huge ranging from hawaii to American to English.you can cater here and the prices aren't to high.

Parking: There are plenty of parking spot but it could be hard to find some during happy hour.(lunch)“

“Nice local comfort food. Take your appetite with you, plenty good grinds!“

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

“Found this spot during Covid and it has become one of my absolute favorite places on the whole island. I eat here anytime I’m up this way. I always get the Bonzai Shrimp Tacos and they never disappoint. Definitely a great place to grab lunch or dinner with a gorgeous view. ???“

“Loco Moco - da bes comfort food when you’ve been on the Mainland too long. Chicken Katsu was ono! Haupia pie - ❤️“

“Great food but I guess there's a rice shortage. Before it was more rice then meat now it's wheres the rice. Prices really have gone up and so has the food. Quality food is there at a price one of the oldest restaurant chains on the island still has some of the greatest island cuisine

Parking: Parking is a little tight especially for longer vehicles like full sized trucks

Kid-friendliness: Has a kids menu and also they offer the standard crayons and paper

Wheelchair accessibility: 2 designated parking's a little tricky but it's something“

“The mushroom and Swiss burger was the absolute best burger I've ever had and the fries are exceptional and crispy and seasoned well!!! The service was top notch, and the restaurant was decorated beautifully. Prices are reasonable!! Definitely on my list to do over and over again!!!!“

“So we drive by this shop on our circle tour and see smoke coming off a fire pit. I go to check it out and they are cooking chicken on rotary spits. I just had to buy their Huli Huli Chicken. THE BEST CHICKEN I've had since visiting Hawaii. I highly recommend this place if you are on the north side of Oahu.“

“I had the most amazing experience here, i’ve never seen such a beautiful view in my life. The staff were so incredibly friendly and even offered to take photos of me, i came to hawaii bymyself so i’m so glad i had some photos to show friends and family :) Ala, Atlantis, Tana, Lii and all the other staff were the best :))“

“This adorable boutique on the North Shore really embodies the aloha spirit. They have awesome home decor, jewelry, artwork and the sweetest sales associates who go out of their way to assist you!! The next time you’re on the North Shore stop by The Cove Collection and see why they are my fav♥️“

“Great food and friendly service. Don't let the location or the outside appearance scare you off, this is an excellent place for a quick and cheap meal. We fed an adult and 2 kids for breakfast for $14 total. Can't beat that anywhere in Hawaii. We'll be back.“

“Wow! On the last night of our 10 day vacation we happened to stumble across this gem. The ambiance is unbeatable. The ocean is your view, the tiki torches and lighting create a lovely space. Every single item we had was absolutely delicious. Each had their own flavor profile yet all worked well together. The staff was friendly and attentive, and we heard the owner is a guy who’s, “passionate about food and the first one in and the last one to leave each day.” Well Sir, your passion and dedication came through our meal tonight.

Next time we’re on the island we will be back again!

Vegetarian options: The grilled vegetables were amazing my! We also sampled the fried tofu and that was great as well. Some in our party are big meat eaters and they loved the vegetables.“

“Pretty low key, great history, decent prices, stunning flora.“
