Restaurants in Kailua

“We visited Easyque recently and I’ve been craving the food ever since!! Absolutely everything was delicious! 😋 😍”

“awesome food, quick courteous service, friendly, good prices, busy but organized, could see the teamwork and they all danced in unison 5.0 stars”

“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!”

“Best drive thru coffee on island! The service was spot on and quick, even though we wanted to stay and chat because the aloha is all around this place! Can’t get enough of their cold brew, it’s got something special in it!”

“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.”

“Hot, fast and always ONO!”

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

“Steak noodles are amazing. Get with extra steak and don’t forget to add the sauce. Got the chicken thigh plate as well… would recommend the steak noodles over the chicken.”

“I eat here frequently. Best coffee and food is always so delicious. My favorite is the garden omelet and their waffles are the best. Love taking my laptop here to work. Great place!”

“We were lucky enough to get one of their limited edition rainbow scones and promised the shop that we would post an insta because it was BEAUTIFUL. But..my son ate it before we got home!!!! 😭

We ordered half a dozen and got a good variety, and EVERY scone was perfect. The flavors came through on every single one and the consistency of the scone was on point. Highly recommend. Having a scone in hand definitely made my Costco trip more enjoyable :).”

“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.”

“Their onion soup is the only one I'll eat! Their appetizers, sides and main dishes are great! I had one the rigatoni bolognese and my friend had their portabello mushroom sandwich which she really enjoyed too! Don't forget the desserts! Their brown butter cookie is yummy warmed up with ice cream. Try their other baked goods too!”

“Everything is made from scratch. Excellent broths. Nice selection of meats, dumplings & veggies. Vegan option too.”

“I love their food! I was in Kailua visiting family and I was really craving ramen. They have the best Chicken Katsu Ramen and the workers were super sweet. The food was amazing and I can't wait to come back here the next time I visit! Everyone needs to try this place.”

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

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

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

“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.”

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

“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”

“The sushi and nigiri were incredible in quality, arguably one of the best we've ever had anywhere. It is in an unassuming location, but the restaurant is definitely worth going to if you're in the mood for sushi.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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 ..”

“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!”

“Tourist coming into town to explore the island. Locals welcomed us and showed us THE Hawaiian hospitality. We loved it and canceled our uber and dinner plans! If you want to have the authentic small Hawaiian town vibe this is the place to go!”

“We loved it so much we came back twice! Their garlic chicken was my favorite and my husband got one of their sandwiches (I can’t remember which one) and he loved it as well!”

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

“We decided to grab some coffee before a run, and wanted to do something (hopefully) better than generic Starbucks..what a great choice! The mochas were delicious and just the kick we needed, and the coffee cake was rich in flavor and so yummy. No better spot to enjoy than their comfy couches and chill vibes inside. Very fair price points compared to some coffee joints - and the ladies taking our order and preparing food and drink were simply delightful. Keep up the hard work y'all, you're killin it!”

“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.”

“Ummm best pancakes ever! Great service also. Thanks 😊”

“Best fresh chicken sandwich I’ve ever had! Every time I’m on Oahu I make time to get a bite to eat here!!”

“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!!”

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

“Love this place. There’s parking, seating, awesome açaí bowl/coffeees, and friendly staff! What more can you ask for? 😍 also it’s next door to bob’s pizzas (giant slices!!!)”

“I love love love this place, went yesterday for the first time, I came in with the big wagon n my puo Potato inside. You have so many choices, when he gets bigger, I will def have to come back and buy him a trucker hat, lol. You will be my go-to for his 1st bday cake in Novembrler. This place also has a painting center and a ball pit for the pups.”

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

“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.”

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

“Food was Very Good. Price was Reasonable. Muchas Gracias from Us.”

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

“Most intimate delish, fresh, unique dining experience ! Worth the time and money. Come from a massive culinary town. This place is way better than anything I could ever ask for. ❣️❣️❣️”

“Little hole in the wall by the beach. We shared a combo chicken katsu and BBQ chicken plate. It came with rice and macaroni salad. Everything was delicious!!! Service was nice. Sat outside. Inside small area. Would definitely check this place out.”

“We have been coming to Enchanted Lake Kim Chee Restaurant for the past 13 years, and it has become such a special place for our family. The owners are incredibly warm and friendly—they’ve watched our kids grow up over the years, and every visit feels like coming home.

Their vegetable bar is amazing, offering everything you could want, plus fun extras like pineapple and Jell-O, which the kids always look forward to. The seaweed soup is wonderfully comforting, and I can never resist their vegetarian bibimbap. It’s always beautifully presented, and every time I tell myself I’ll take a picture… but I end up diving in too quickly!

The kids always order the combination plate with chicken katsu, barbecue chicken, and fried mandu—it’s their go-to meal. The atmosphere is welcoming and fun, with video footage of the kitchen playing (it’s great to see them in action!), a fish tank that keeps the little ones entertained, and a playlist we absolutely love. The music always adds to the experience and makes our meal even more enjoyable.

After all these years, this restaurant continues to be one of our favorite places to eat. We always leave happy and full, and we’re so grateful to have a spot like this in our community!”

“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.”

“Had a couple beers. They were very good.”

“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.”

“Aloha: this is a great , clean and organized Panda location. Staff is great with interactions as well. Bring a sweater the AC just got changed out so a bit on cold side in the evening but keeping the standards up.”

“I order through the app to pickup at the restaurant near my home. The app is super easy and my food is always packaged and ready to go when I get there. The restaurant is super-clean, there’s lots of parking, it’s a great place for in-and-out great food. Definitely will go back 👍🏼”

“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”

“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!!”

“The food here is delicious. I love the lunch or dinner plates which gives me a variety but I’ve also had their wor gau gee min and the pork and abalone soup. All were very good. The people here are very nice and once when I can in for min the cook kept refilling my bowl with broth. It was so yummy!!”

“Wonderful experience, Korean Steak entree was amazing and Fresh Fish entree with macadamia nut pesto was delicious. Excellent service and vibe. Highly recommend.”

“great customer service, AMAZING sandwichs!”

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

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

“I literally had the best tacos ever. Ordered 2 birria tacos and they were amazing. It’s true it’s kind of expensive 6.5$ for a taco but don’t buy if you can’t afford. Definitely a treat. They guys were nice too”

“I never leave reviews for anything but after experiencing all of the aloha and tasty goodies from Kailua Beach’s Kalapawai Market for the past 6 weeks, I had no choice but to chime in. My husband and I loved our weekly trips for coffee and fresh bakery items, but even more so we appreciated how much community we found in this adorable little beach market. Everyone was so kind and attentive every time we visited. We specifically had the great privilege of getting to know and love Brayden, Lindsey, and Stephanie during our visits. They were all so so incredibly kind, attentive, and always slayed my iced lattes. If you are in Kailua and craving some amazing fish tacos, a little sweet treat, or a life changing caffeine boost, don’t forget to add this stop to your list. You won’t regret it.”

“The phos were decent and the meat quality was good. The stew beef rice dish wasn’t the best I’ve had, but it wasn’t that bad. The service was friendly and fast.”

“Boba shop with a multitude of choices, a claw machine, and merch in the back that adds to the fun of being here.The staff is helpful and friendly and the Bobas we got, Mango Pomelos Sago and Midnight Tea, were delicious. I liked the brulee cheese foam on the Midnight Tea.Definitely coming back here.”

“Lovely little place. Delicious food and smoothies. Yummy dessert options too. They do charge you extra surcharge to sit with a group more than 5 (even though there’s no table service) which seems a bit dodgy!”

“One of the best gluten free sandwiches I ever had !!! Went back here TWICE during my one week trip to Oahu - the sandwich is so refreshing and to die for!! Amazing to take with you to the beach as well 💗💗🍞🥙🥪”

“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.”

“아사히볼 맛있어요 !!”

“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.”

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

“A good place for coffee. The turkey sandwich is good too.”

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

“breakfast of Champs! go get some!”

“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.”

“Ono poi. Looking for Kulolo.”

“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!!”
