“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.”
“Everything is made from scratch. Excellent broths. Nice selection of meats, dumplings & veggies. Vegan option too.”
“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.”
“The Gnocchi, Caprese, and the Tiramisu!!! Great wine selection too!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“My husband and I visited over the weekend and we had such a great experience! The owner, and the other man that waited on us were both soo friendly and personable and we had a great time chatting with them. The wine was absolutely delicious to top it off! We will definitely be back! We took home a bottle of the limited edition root beer wine and can’t wait to crack it open!!”
“Great ambiance! We had the tomahawk steak, and it was cooked to perfection. There is no sign informing you of the resturant, its in a pub. Parking is horrible as is what's expected in hawaii.”
Restaurants with Delivery
“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!!”
“This place has such good ramen I’m making a second review for the second day in a row I visited!! 😂 I wanted my last meal in O’ahu to be something really really good and I just had to come back here so putting this place on BLAST 🗣️🗣️SUCH. GREAT. RAMEN!!!! Also the staff is seriously so kind too : )”
“This restaurant is not a typical Indian place serving regular dosas, it is a modern take on the famous Indian preparation. We tried the dosa with avocado, cheese, tomato and another with potato masala, spinach, cheese and liked the former better. Did not like the filter coffee and chai, wouldn't recommend if you are looking for authentic versions. The vibe and service of this place are a bonus!”
“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 ..”
“Delicious and unique dining experience. Everything made you feel like you were sitting in Morocco enjoying the foods. The mint tea, the lamb and the courses were perfectly spaced and the price is more than reasonable for the amount of food you get. Thank you Casa Blanca, we will be back.”

“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”
“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.”
“I had originally ordered a delivery through DoorDash, but some of my order was missing. I called them and he was so kind and willing to help make sure I was happy.He helped me think of ways to make the problem right, even if it had been on DoorDash, and not on their restaurant. I went to pick up a replacement item and he was very understanding and totally wanting to help make me satisfied. Very friendly staff. And amazing food!”
“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.”
“This was one of the most perfect restaurants I have ever been to. Absolutely lovely atmosphere, great tunes, spacious seating area but doesn’t feel sparse, very tentative staff who had our food and drinks ordered and served within minutes. The food itself was outstanding; I can honestly say it was some of the best food on our trip! Would highly recommend!”
“A local recommended this spot, and I’m glad they did! I ordered the Garlic Chicken and Katsu. Both were solid choices, but the Garlic Chicken stole the show. Now I see why it’s their best seller: flavorful, crispy, and addictive. The Katsu was also really good, just a bit overshadowed by how great the garlic was. The mac salad was creamy and tasty too. Definitely a spot I’d return to for a casual, satisfying lunch.”

Takeout Restaurants
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“As a first time visitor to the Aloha state of Hawaii I was very impressed with the music, atmosphere, food, and the employees were AWESOME! Our waitress Josslyn was EXTREMELY AWESOME with her services. MAHALO SO MUCH FOR THE BEST RESTAURANT FOOD EVER.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“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.”
“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.”
“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!!”
“This bar is a good street side location, and has an excellent happy hour special each day of the week. You can’t beat the happy hour special prices, $12 for a draft beer and burger/tacos/pulled pork etc. depending on the day, the pulled pork is my favorite. Excellent draft selection of local beers. Dog friendly lanai. Staff are also very friendly. Our favorite place for happy hour in Kailua.”
“Wonderful! I placed the order online, and it was to my hotel door in like 20 minutes. And it is delicious! Unlike other locations, they baked my pizza well-done without baking the cheese sticks well-done. A+
Vegetarian options: They have veggies and are very accommodating to all requests.
Parking: It's a big old parking lot shared with the main exchange and the commissary.
Wheelchair accessibility: There are no steps, so wheelchair friendly!”
Cheap Eats
“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.”
“I don’t normally write reviews but the food here was really good. I’ve eaten a lot of Vietnamese in my life and I will say this is some of the best I’ve eaten. A little pricey for someone that has travelled the world but for Hawaii I guess it’s ok. These are new owners so give them a chance.”
“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.”
“I met the family that ran this business in a festival and I absolutely love their food and what they’re striving. They use organic ingredients and are striving health conscious choices. We’ve had their cinnamon rolls, brownies and cookies and they all were delicious. I can’t recommend them enough.”
“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!”
