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“

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

“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“

“Staying at the turtle bay resort for our honeymoon and have been trying all the restaurants. Came here for drinks and a beautiful sunset! The service was friendly and very good. My husband got a lava flow with a rum float on top. We enjoyed drinks from the same bar all day at the pool. We went back for dinner the next night. We went around 7:30 and it wasn’t too busy. We actually took out food to go as we had a long day. The bar tender was very friendly and our food came extremely quick! I ordered the mahi mahi fish tacos from the small plates menu and my husband had the double smash burger with fries. I didn’t get a picture of the burger cause my husband devoured it- he loved it ! The tacos come with 2 and a third can be added for $10, but two was enough for me. Doesn’t come with a side. The fish is delicious ! Highly recommend for food and or drinks and great beach views!“

“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.“

“We adore this spot and can’t wait to make it back. The staff is incredibly kind, the food is phenomenal, and the portions are huge for the price. There are tables outside to sit and eat, and it’s just a wonderful, cozy, low-fuss spot to enjoy breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

I can’t begin to tell you how many times I dream of getting back to Oahu JUST for Kaya’s. Easily one of our favorite spots on the island!“

““What an unforgettable evening! From the moment we arrived, the warm aloha spirit was everywhere. The food was plentiful and delicious. The performances were breathtaking—full of energy, history, and storytelling that made us feel connected to Hawaiian culture. Every dancer and musician gave it their all, and the fire show was absolutely spectacular. The staff was kind, welcoming, and made the whole night flow seamlessly. If you’re visiting Oʻahu, this luau is a must-do experience!”“

“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.“

“Local restaurant with great food and service. Breakfast was amazing. My husband said it's the best omelet he's ever had. I had coconut pancakes that were excellent. There's not a place to sit and eat. It's definitely takeout. But we drove to the Hukilau beach literally two minutes away to eat. Eating coconut pancakes while looking at the ocean is pretty much heaven on earth, just saying.“

“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.“

“Our 3 time on the island and every time we make it a point to stop here! The best shrimp in Oahu and amazing service. Also a little bit cheaper than other shrimp trucks. Nice seating and amusing chickens to watch while you eat, Definitely check them out.“

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

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

“Cool place to sit and eat especially after catching the sunset at Shark's Cove across the street. Wake up this special of the day which was Marlin tacos, the fish was a touch overdone but not too bad. The sauce they put on top really set off the taco“

“Nice selection of swimsuits and great customer service. Their bikinis are better quality and offer more support for larger-chested women than the San Lorenzo store. The Cove also has nice jewelry and home goods. Beware that Google Maps may take you to the wrong place, so it's a good idea to input an address for the taco truck next door.“

“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!“

“We had a wonderful family dinner here. Alyssa was our server and did a great job. The view of the water, the fun casual vibe of the restaurant and the live music with Hawaiian classics mixed with Christmas music was a real treat. The food was good - lamb lollipops were delicious & the lilikoi bread pudding stood out and everyone really enjoyed our dinner here. We will definitely return!“

“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!!!!“
