“they have a great variety of different styles and flavors, which made it hard to choose. i love lemongrass anything so i went with that, and other stuff. the pasta, claypot dish and yakisoba all sounded great too Updated from previous review on 2026-05-09“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great vegan food. No frills and outside dining“

“Great service😊 Friendly staff ❤️“

“I am foodie from Japan, enjoy once or twice a month hotel buffet in Tokyo. But Orchids Sunday branch menu was the best ever. Not only does it taste good, but it also tastes good, fine scenery, number and placement of staff and their diligence noteworthy.“

“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.“

“Tempura Kiki was an amazing gem in Waikiki - the tempura was all cooked to order and presented with utmost precision and care. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive and couldn’t have been better. Such delicious foods and great people. I’d highly recommend coming here!“

“This is feel good food— especially when I’m constipated 🤣💕. I loved everything I ordered, grilled cauliflower salad, pickled cabbage, and dolmas.

The dolmas had a bit of a bite from the lentils, pickled cabbage was not too salty or briney, and the cauliflower tasted healthy 💕. The best thing is, if I needed more salt, it’d be so easy to layer on the flavors! So lucky to have stumbled upon this food at the Kaka’ako Market!“

“From the warm greeting everyone receives when walking through the door to the attentive and super friendly service, this place is amazing! The sushi was outstanding… hands down the best sushi I’ve ever had! The texture, taste and presentation was top notch. Wish there was a location on the east coast!“

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

“We LOVEEEEE Egghead Cafe!!! Every time we come in they are so friendly, welcoming of my little ones, and quick! I've never had anything bad. Their coffee is delicious, my favorite is Tiramisu Latte! Definitely visit, it will be worth it!“

“Absolutely amazing. Best brecky in Waikiki!“

“We celebrated a big anniversary at Pai and WOW - they made it extra special. We did the four course menu with wine pairings. The service was top notch. The food was inspired, creative, delicious, and locally sourced. Though the portions of each dish looked small, it was more than enough food and so delicious you wanted to eat every bite! The wine pairings were spot on, absolutely perfect with our chosen courses. The space has such a lovely vibe - clean and modern, but comfortable and well appointed. There really isn't another dining experience quite like this on the island. Justine and Kevin have created such a beautiful place with incredible food and service. Pai is definitely a must-try restaurant. We will definitely be back.“

“Hands down the best sushi place I have ever been too! From the beginning we walked in with my family. We were greeted with a huge smile and got seated in a private booth. The service, the staff and atmosphere there is really nice and kid friendly! After we payed our meal. The host/server gave my son a free toy. Thank you so much for not rushing him because he couldn’t decide what to pick. We had a great time here and we can’t wait to be back again!!“

“Unbelievably good food for a great price and the best service regardless of language barriers. And the Vietnamese Iced Coffee was the richest best version of the drink we've had anywhere. And those fresh rolls were absolutely stunning.“

“We went to Marugame twice on this trip.
Best qualify udon and broth.
Loved assortment of tempura.
This location had lunch special under $10 for small udon with one tempura.
Very busy but efficiently running.
Can’t wait to go back!“

“This has been our go to brunch spot for the last several years. The food is amazing - the Oscar Benedict (crab/corned beef) is one of our favorites! The coffee w/cookies and especially having the milk/cream warmed is the perfect way to start the day. The peaceful atmosphere with its view of the blue ocean and Fort DeRussy park makes this a truly special place. Most of all, the staff is amazing… Summer, Feliciana, Chris, everyone! They have truly imbued the spirit of Aloha.“

“Great taste using Natural non dairy ingredients! Very great customer service and good price.“

“Amazing food and atmosphere every time. I highly recommend this restaurant“

“Delicious healthy charming garden deck in back. yummy 💖“

“Awesome food and cocktails“

“Came in around 7pm today didn’t know what to expect and everything was just great the seasoning of the fried cat fish and the mac n cheese. I haven’t eaten southern food in about 8 or 5 years this definitely hit the spot for the price it was a sure surprise and worth it. Gonna continue to come for more and try more food on the menu.“

“Best burritos on the planet!“

“We wanted Asian food for breakfast and googled this place. It’s hard to find because it’s tucked in a square. However it was worth it. The food is made fresh and replaced often due to the foot traffic. It taste amazing and the price is right. It’s not super pricey and it taste so good. It’s grab and go and there’s tables outside. Perfect to get picnic snacks.“

“Food was fresh and delicious. The produce they used was amazing quality. They have a lot of good options to choose from and the ordering process was quick and easy. My toddler who is in a picky eating phase loved their scrambled eggs and croffles. They also have the best matcha latte I've ever had, I believe they use a pandan syrup they make in house. Would definitely recommend to anyone and will be returning.“

“My all itme favirite restaurant. Excellent food and service. Reknown for their chirashi.“

“Recently celebrated my birthday with my best friend at this restaurant. The staff took wonderful care of us and ensured each dish and drink was delicious. I am not a local, but the next time I visit I will absolutely be returning. If you are celebrating anything, this is a fine establishment to visit. The views of the sunset are beautiful. Thank you!
*p.s. the pineapple upside down cake is to die for*“

“Food was genuinely fantastic. We are picky as we go out very frequently where we live in NYC, but everything we ate was excellent. Ahi tuna, ribs, butterfish, and ramen. Not a bad bite to be found! Cocktails excellent, Richard was great. Highly recommend!“

“👍 Delicious meals. Nice and attentive service.“

“The staff at Cafe Kaila are so warm and welcoming. They also have best breakfast whether you choose to eat an eggs Benedict or a banana bread French toast. Always fresh fruit there so pile it on everyone and just enjoy 😉“

“The Tomahawk steak is outstanding. No need to ruin it with A1 sauce. The stuffed chicken breast was not dry, so tasty. Everything is ala carte but totally worth it. Would go again“

“The food was to die for! We ordered so many things odd the menu from karage chicken, shishitos tempura, poke and yukari fries. I would return just for the hamachi shashimi and the ichibo steak as it melts in your mouth! Loved the great ambiance and service. The greeter welcomed us and sat us quick even said happy birthday. Our servicer Emily was so friendly and so was the rest of the staff that brought out the amazing food!“

“Food was good and came out quickly. Portion sizes were pretty good, and cooking seemed like it was more home-style and less tourist focused, which was appreciated. I got the beef chow fun, the person that I went with got the beef rice soup.“

“I have visited the Haleiwa location multiple times and it just hits the spot for unique gelato flavors! I also highly recommend any of the crepes ... and of course, the Ube Mochi waffle!!! Staff friendly and attentive and the place is kept very clean. Definitely worth a stop if you need to pick up a pint of gelato for a family dinner too. ;)“

“Food is ALWAYS delicious and the staff is so kind and attentive! Katsu-san creates the most beautiful sashimi platters and omakase sushi!“
