Hawaiian Restaurants near Kahuku, HI

“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“

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

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

“The chicken was absolutely amazing, and Isi and company were wonderful! Thank you so much for your kindness! It was all incredible!“

“Our first day of 2024 was amazing, thanks to the amazing staff. A shout out to the bartender John who went above and beyond. Making me drinks with less sugar so I could enjoy drinks with my husband for the new year. Mot bartenders will say we don't have them on the menu and leave it at that. Not John. I'm truly thankful for his dedication to serving all. Thank you

Dietary restrictions: I'm keto, so I don't eat carbs or sugar. I had the poke Hawaiian poke bowl with greens instead of rice. Thank you“

“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.“

“Going to a luau at Toa is like being invited to a family event. The performances and food were great and the performers come and talk with you during the luau. It’s a really intimate experience-not like the big productions where you are herded in and out. As an added bonus, your ticket to the luau also gets you admission to the botanical gardens in Waimea Valley. It’s a beautiful walk up to the waterfall.“

“I found a great local place serving fantastic local food! The menu is great, I've been eating my way through it. The staff is very friendly. So if you're looking for a true taste and atmosphere of Hawaii! This is the local business to support!! I've loved every dish I've tried, but I always come back for the Lau Lau!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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!“

“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!“

“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♥️“

“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!!!!“

“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. ???“

“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.“

“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!“
