Hawaiian Restaurants near Kaaawa, HI

“Could not have asked for a more beautiful, relaxing and delicious lunch! First, the view is just breathtaking! The food and atmosphere are probably the best on the island. Our waitress Angela was spot on, friendly and very knowledgeable of the food and drink menu. 10/10 would recommend coming to dine here. Handicapp parking and restrooms available.“

“Everything I have had here is so ono! Love the fresh noodles made with local ingredients can't beat it so worth the wait!!“

“Skip the food trucks outside and go right into the store! Authentic local options, something for everyone. The coconut shrimp and guava smoked pork (local surf and turf) were absolutely incredible. While you’re waiting for your food, check out the store and add some things to your bill, it can all be purchased at the same place. It might be intimidating to go into a place like this but support the local community, it’s a win-win with the delicious food!“

“Let me say that it was an awesome choice deciding to stop in here. I am so glad we did. The food was so delicious 😋 I had chicken cutlet with the rice and gravy and im telling you so ono, yessah! The flavor of the breading and the crunch 100% The staff so nice and welcoming. If you visiting the island stop in and you wont be disappointed, be nice and respectful and it will returned to you with interest 👍Aloha 🤙“

“Everything on the menu is onolicious and what makes it even better is the ohana that makes you feel right at home. Well worth the drive from the west side. 😋😉 Don’t forget to pick up a tray of butter mochi too!!“

“We tried some local food by recommendation, maybe it was my paladar or the plates we got, but it wasnt that tasty. Not my favorite meals but again, may be just that i am not use to the food. I would say, order one and try and share first, if its from your like there you go, just dont drive from honolulu just to eat here, have something before in case you dont like it, but hey, nothing like eating local food in hawaii!“

“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“

“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.“

“Cash only! And drive around the traffic circle all the way and you'll see it, otherwise it's easy to miss. But you'll be glad you found it.

Nome Ono does not have an extensive menu, but if the rest of their lineup was as good as the shrimp fried rice it's worth the trip. They offer four or five versions of fried rice. And they have five or six entrees that they serve with steamed rice. Most choices are $18 as of today. Had I been here on my own I likely would have had one of the shrimp entrees - probably garlic shrimp or possibly coconut shrimp. But I was with my wife and she wanted the shrimp fried rice, so that's what we went with. Easily enough for both of us, with probably seven or eight shrimp and a huge pile of well-seasoned rice with a chopped up fried egg tossed in. We had just arrived on the island and wanted a light lunch and it was perfect.

There are a handful of tables with benches with a cover to keep you out of the direct sun, and there's a beautiful view just off to the side. Definitely worth stopping by if you're anywhere in the neighborhood.“

“It’s all about the flavor 😋😋😋🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🎯💯‼️“

“Came by while visiting Honolulu for a few days. Tried the bbq trio and it was great. It came with bbq chicken, beef teriyaki and beef short ribs. The portion size was enough for two ppl easily. Definitely worth a visit if you are looking for a local fav- 20 ppl ordered food while we sat and ate ours.“

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

“Wanted some Island food for a quick lunch before heading to beach. The menu was varied and plentiful. I got the lau lau pork (first time) and it was good. Husband got seafood plate with chicken katsu. The amount of seafood was same as the katsu (he’d hoped more seafood, given the name). Said the seafood was good, katsu was better.“

“Super delicious hamburger! It’s the first time I ever liked blue cheese on my hamburger! Also the staff is very friendly“

“Food was terrific and the staff was very friendly.“

“I’ve been in Hawaii for a week. It’s by far the best place we’ve had. We’re staying in Waikiki and drove all the way back to the North Shore today to get it again it’s that good! And try the musubi it’s homemade“

“Get there early or you will have to wait. Food, atmosphere and staff were wonderful.“

“Just Wow. We are a week and half into our honeymoon and this is what he best food we have had on the island, and honestly some of the best seafood I have ever had. The fish tasted like it was caught this morning. Will definitely be coming back. The prices were also very reasonable.“

“EVERYONE there was Super Friendly and Very helpful and Xander was Super Helpful and went out of his way to make us comfortable!
Everything on the menu was Fantastic as we went back a Second time so we could try the menu items we missed the first time.“

“Fresh catch is the best! Reasonable prices too“

“Had the spicy garlic lemon shrimp, it was absolutely delicious! The shrimp were cooked perfectly with great texture, and the flavors were bold without being overpowering. Portions are generous, easily enough for two people. Would definitely come back.“

“Friendly service, great food, wide variety - always hot and fresh.“

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

“The luau at the Hula Garden was a truly superb experience. The location outside of the city of Honolulu is beautiful. The staff and performers treated us with one on one service throughout the memorable evening. There was an amazing four course meal while watching beautiful performances. I would highly recommend this activity for anybody traveling to Hawaii or for residents looking for an exquisite evening out.“

“We had a tour guide take us around the Island. We wanted to go to an authentic place to eat, not fancy touristy restaurants. He recommended 2 places, (I won't say the other one on this review, but it was also excellent!) He brought us to Coral Kingdom for the Huli Huli Chicken. It was so flavorful, juicy and delicious! We loved the relaxed atmosphere and good food. After we ate, we went shopping and got some cute souvenirs. I'm so glad we didn't miss this spot.“

“My fave Teri hamburger/namasu on da side... Can't forget the potatoe, Ohhh Yaaa“

“Stopped for lunch during a tour of Oahu. Our guide was familiar with this location and said it would be one of the best spots for loco moco on the island. He was right. It was delicious. We also had an ahi tuna plate. Service was very friendly and quick. We sat outside at a picnic table right at the pier. Great experience.“

“This food truck lived up to it's great reputation. Simple ordering and grabbing plates through the window. cash only. the garlic shrimp was delicious and gluten free. The spicy shrimp was not overpowering for me. covered picnic tables and a few other vendors nearby. overall, simple and grand.“

“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!“

“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!!!!“
