Food pictured is in a to-go container.”

“very filling. yum. like the salmon bowl.”

“Great iced latte, super fast service and the kindest gal processing orders! This spot is a total gem!”

“Love this little market. I had one of the best poke in town. The papaya was so sweet. My hubby enjoyed the fish tacos. Orders to go & we ate at the covered benches outside. Parking was kind of tricky. Will return for sure 👌🏾”

“Discovered this hidden gem while looking for a dish with noodles in the island. Their noodles reminded me of the noodles you can find in NYC but these were found on the island! I had the steak and noodle and shrimp platter. It was so delicious! The food didn’t take long and the lady at counter was pleasant. I mainly wanted noodles but to my surprise the steak had so much flavor too. If I lived near here, I would definitely make this one of my usual spots.”

“Aloha. Stopped by & had some awesome java & water(for our Pittie girl🐾) & sat outside talkin story & peeps watchin🤙🤙🤙🤙”

“The Food Company is amazing in that it offers an expansive menu, PLUS the best service and kindness in working with special current food restrictions. The food for our recent party with guests from our islands, plus mainland cities and Australia, called for varied tastes. The Food Company offered perfect selections, getting raves!! Everything was delicious. Fair prices and excellent value!!”

“Hot, fast and always ONO!”

“I've been coming here for years!!! Marshal and Brian have a great selection of wines and are always coming up with new, innovative products. I have hosted an annual Christmas bottling every year for 15+ years! We have a blast!”

“So stoked to find somewhere that does gluten free ramen noodles, and the whole dish was delicious too!! We had the house Charsiu pork each, mine with a shoyu base and his with curry. Both were so tasty, and plenty condiments provided to spice, salt, soy the broth as you please. There were many other broth options that might suit celiac better but mine is intolerance and sauces don’t usually cause bad flare-ups so this was a perfect indulgence. Would definitely come back!”

“Kalapawai is a go-to restaurant for my friends and I. In this particular visit my friend had an adverse reaction to a medication and we needed to leave abruptly. Allison our server was totally on top of her game, got our main courses boxed and handed to us in less than a minute. The food was excellent, the service was superb.”

“The Gnocchi, Caprese, and the Tiramisu!!! Great wine selection too!”

“Great food very friendly and cost wasn’t bad either will be back for sure highly recommend”

“The ambiance was perfect - light jazz music, uniquely served foods with attention to detail. I'd would go again for that total intimate experience. Only miss was our server not knowing drink prices.”

“Very convenient after a haircut. Tasty, nice people, fast service.”

“Really awesome place we came here to eat and had some awesome drinks .we met the executive chef Luis Axalan he was very nice explaining the concept and he was very helpful explaining the food items . We also tried the Chef’s Special salmon crostini was the best we ever had. The pork Bao buns is to die for!!!! 10/10 for all the food . The drinks were very good also . We will definitely come back . Kailua peeps come down and check them out ..”

“Great food great time, definitely would go back.”

“First time in Hawaii but Buzzes is a great restaurant that has great food and drinks. The staff is outstanding the are really nice and caring for there customers. I will definitely come back to buzzes. I will definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone that comes and visits that ms never been to Hawaii.”

“Romantic , food was ok ! Butterfish was amazing but the garlic shrimp was only three pieces of shrimp on doughy cheese balls I expected more shrimp or veggies ! Noise in the afternoon not bad ! Presentation good Would have to try more of the menu but will never order the shrimp again”

“We were two and took a salad, tempura, sashimi, a mixed sushi , everything really good, they have exllent wine list too. Place amazing outdoor where we were but saw indoor very nice too. I recommend it!”

“Came by for some roast pork at dinner time. Staff was efficient even on a busy night and people were being helped quickly. Roast pork had good flavor but wasn't quite as crispy as I like, I think they get a pass for being so helpful on such a busy day. Looking forward to coming back to try more of the menu.”

“Came here for a Business Meeting Food was great Drinks were as always delicious Music was a little too loud (we had to yell over it, but our table was close to the musicians on top of Bose speakers amplifying the sound) but the music was absolutely amazing !!!”

“The garlic chicken here is so good! We ordered a regular plate to share and it was more than enough! The staff were nice and service was fast. The shop inside is small so you just order your food and there's seating outside. This place is Perfect for picking up food before you go to the beach! They have a lot of options on the menu.”

“Our son took us there when we were visiting. Best coffee I have ever had. Never bitter”

“Pretty much perfect: vegetarian options (not much vegan), really nice people, and super comfy seating (we chose the couch). I got the Life Is Good bagel with hummus and egg. All came on reusable/ceramic plates. Love this place.”

“Leilani & Will of Leilani’s Island Tacos catered my daughter’s wedding last evening. Our guests raved about the food and excellent service! We are from out of town and Leilani was so great to work with, arranging everything by phone & email. I highly recommend them! Mahalo Leilani & Will!!”

“Went to the new location in Kaneohe and the brisket and pulled pork was anazing! I'm giving them four stars because the wait was an hour long wait and my elderly parents were tired and famished by the time food was ready.”

“Fresh seafood prepared how you like it! Delicious and a must if you are in Maui. I had the Ono in white wine,garlic and butter. Served over Cajun rice. The portions are very generous.”

“A fantastic place to eat something delicious on Oahu. On our way back from the west coast to Honolulu, we stopped at Enchanted Lake Kim Chee Restaurant. A beautiful aquarium at the entrance, American interior design; I would have preferred a Korean atmosphere... but we came for the food. The staff was incredibly friendly, answered all our questions about the menu, and helped us choose dishes for a hearty dinner. The food was delicious. We were humming with delight until the chef came out from behind the kitchen counter to watch us, and we watched him. Masterpiece! We'll definitely be sending everyone here.”

“I absolutely loved the fresh food and the staff was awesome Friendly and made you feel welcome Will definitely return to this establishment”

“Great food. Cool atmosphere. Awesome shakes.”

“Love this place! Staff are friendly the place is neat and clean and the Acai bowls and smoothies are delicious! The prices are very reasonable, too! A negative is not just having to pay for parking, but actually finding a spot in that area.....it is def worth the time and money!!! My new favorite place in Kailua.”

“This is a solid takeout spot with good poke. There are spots to sit and eat outside. Make sure you ask about their ingredients. I discovered peanuts in their Thai basil poke after I started eating it and sharing with my son who has a peanut allergy. We had to rush to get some allergy meds afterwards so be careful.”

“Sunrise Shack Cafe is one of the best spots to grab a healthy and delicious meal in Oahu. Their açaí bowls are incredibly fresh, and it’s great that they have multiple locations across the island, making it convenient to stop by. The Monkey Bowl is perfect for peanut butter lovers — rich, flavorful, and satisfying. The Veggie Vibes sandwich is a standout, with crisp veggies and a unique papaya seed dressing that adds an interesting and tasty twist. The cafe has a relaxed, welcoming vibe, and the quality of the ingredients really shines through. A must-visit for anyone looking for fresh, flavorful, and wholesome food on the island.”

“It might just be a fast food spot, but the workers made it feel so well put together. Everything was organized and clean, and the staff were very respectful, well mannered and super nice. The food came out hot and fresh with good portions. The combination of great staff and tasty food made this an easy five star visit.”

“awesome food especially mahi burger, better than the one at the restaurants. truffle fried were overcooked.”

“It tasted different from FLORIDA.but other wise it okay”

“The food portions are amazing and the food is excellent This is a family owned restaurant and they are such wonderful people Recommend this place to everyone”

“This is such a hidden gym. We found most of the viral spots on the island to honestly be overrated, but this was so good. We got the short ribs and garlic shrimp and honestly the shrimp here tasted so much better than the popular food trucks. The shrimp was peeled, perfectly cooked (juicy, plump and tender) and so flavorful without so much butter dripping out. Definitely come here”

“Ah-mazing food, the best horchata I've ever had, but wasn't aware it wasn't a sit down and order a margarita and relax place. Rather, it's a similar setup to Chipotle.”

“Omakase was very good! There was a variety of sushi pieces and presentation was simple but carefully created! Atmosphere was quaint but roomy enough to the person sitting next to you. Domo Arigato Chef!!”

“Been crushing Bob's for years. Can't be beat.”

“아사히볼 맛있어요 !!”

“Came here with my family and we absolutely loved it. This is a true hole-in-the-wall spot, which we always appreciate because the food is usually the most authentic—and this place did not disappoint.

The portions were very generous for the price, and everything we ordered tasted fresh and satisfying. You definitely get great value for what you pay.

The woman who served us was incredibly kind and impressive—she was running the entire place on her own and still made us feel welcomed and taken care of.

Overall, great food, authentic flavors, good portions, and friendly service. I would definitely recommend Saigon Noodle House and would absolutely come back again.”

“I work at a shop near them and frequent their store often. Zero complaints for them as they are always professional, greet you, keep the joint clean, and make some delicious meals. Highly recommend them if you’re in the area and want a quick bite to eat in or take out.”

“Love this place. The ladies in the morning are awesome. They know a lot of customers by name and their drinks. The vibes are very inviting and happy no matter how busy they are. I love the turkey pesto sandwich there. They also can make a mean latte. ❤️??”

“Great place for cheers and fun! Very much a family!”

“Good food! Great staff. I nice family diner. Very hometown classic feel to the place. LOCO MOCO AND THE FRIED RICE! DA BOMB!!🙂🤙🏿🏝💯💯”

“Delicious breads and treats and friendly and helpful employees. I don't know her name but one young lady helped make my day brighter after I had an awful encounter with an angry driver at the post office. A big MAHALO to her for her kindness!”

“The Elderberry syrup is the absolute best I’ve had and the cocoa immunity elixir was magic mood boosting mylk that I’m still thinking about weeks after drinking it.”

“This place is a dive. However, this place is quite delicious, I had the BBQ mix, and it was very good. The variety of meat was very delicious. The only complaint I have is that the place needs to be a little cleaner to be a 5 star.”

“Just a fun place with fun people”

“I’m from the Boston area and every time I visit, I HAVE TO have pizza here!!”

“Enjoyed the pastries we bought. My wife loved the spinach bread. I love supporting locals and will continue to come here when I'm in Kailua. I just wished they didn't sell out so early.I had the chocolate donut which had the perfect chewy consistency and the chocolate was nice and rich. I'd definitely eat a few of those the next time.Support local and swing by this small bakery that's been around since the 90s.”

“This shop is SO CUTE inside, perfect for kids/families. I've been 3-4x, and I always get Boba tea. Delicious! The esthetic is cute and the drinks are amazing. Nice staff.”

“excellent delicious beef chimichanga w/refried beans and rice and lunch special beef enchilada w/rice and beans. Will definitely be back!!!!”

“breakfast of Champs! go get some!”

“I really try not to give out five stars but this one is 4.5 stars reminds me of chipotle but not some big franchise cookie cutter food chain. The food is good they stay packed but they work with great efficiency there’s not a lot of room to sit so it’s perfect to grab and go. Will for sure go back.”

“I went to Lilikoi Kitchen with a dear friend for brunch over the weekend and was very pleasantly surprised! We were immediately greeted by Laura who told us about the history of the restaurant and the chef’s dream of owning a cafe, and then introduced us to all of the staff there at the time. She listened to my dietary restrictions and helped me select something that I could eat and would love. Everything we ate and drank (PSL was so good, much better than Starbucks) was exceptional. If they started offering mimosas they would be the perfect ladies brunch locale! We will definitely be back.”

“My go-to spot for açaí bowls! You can watch staff make your order and you know everything is fresh plus, it’s a convenient location to get in and get out (if you want) for more adventures.”

“great customer service, AMAZING sandwichs!”

“Ordered Teh C...and Kopi and Kaya toast. the teh c taste like some regulat tea bag with just some.hot water poured into it. does not even taste like any teh from the singapore kopitiam. the kopi too.. the girl with the nose ring also forgot about out Kaya toast until I went to ask about it after 15 mins later. One of the girls did gave us a free croissant for that. I don't know why the girl keep saying teh Tarik when I ordered Teh C, had to confirm again and again.kaya toast tasted correct though.”

“We Love this place! Always super tasty and fresh! The Super gyro is moist, juicy and the pita.....fresh! The tziki is drop dead delish!!! Also the fish pita was my favorite....My hubby can't stop with the gyros????? Mahalo nui Yamas!!!!??”

“Everything!! Atmosphere is great wonderful staff & you get to make a lot of good memories there . I know I did in the past 3 years….”

“This is the best Subway I’ve been to. They are friendly, very efficient, and they stuff the sandwich with veggies without you needing to ask. The bread was cooked properly and the veggies were very fresh.”

“Ono poi. Looking for Kulolo.”

“Crazy friendly. We went on a Friday afternoon and headed out for some dinner and then went back later because of how friendly and welcoming they were.If your an Elk and on Oahu, make sure not to miss this great Lodge where the sense of Elkdom comes through strong.”

“Great small sushi shop. No public bathroom go use Safeway's. 4 small tables.

Great $15 roll sushi and small bento boxes

Parking: Safeway parking easiest in and out”

“We had the best pizza from Kailua Dominos last night! The management was so kind too & worked had to spread Aloha when we had to wait some extra time for our carryout pizza! Sometimes it's not this good, but last night, it was great & management is Always the best! Mahalo!!”
