8 Best Delis near 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.“

“The staff was nice, though a warmer and more welcoming vibe would have made the experience even better. Not sure if it was because I wasn't a local. The place had a charming local feel, which I personally enjoyed. It’s just a stone’s throw away from the beach and also has al fresco seating, making it a relaxing spot to grab a meal or cold drink.

Aside from their sandwiches, they offer plenty of delicious options. My favorite was the Shoyu Ahi Poke Bowl with Kimchi — flavorful, fresh, and very satisfying. They also have a spicy version for those who want an extra kick.

They also sell souvenirs, which makes the shop a fun little find while exploring the area. Definitely a nice spot to stumble upon.“

“Some of the most delicious pastries and best cuts of meat on the island. One of our go-to spots for getting fun breakfast and planning a scrumptious dinner. Harley and Jason are awesome and this place is an absolute gem!“

“This was my first time trying their afternoon tea, and my boyfriend and I had such a good experience. You can choose either two hot teas or one cold tea, we chose the two hot teas and tried Earl Grey, Marco Polo, and Afternoon in Paris. All of them were really good and so fragrant.

The food was beautiful and thoughtfully presented. Everything looked almost too pretty to eat! The staff took the time to explain each item to us, and they were all so kind and welcoming.

I was hoping they would have macarons, but I guess the menu changes regularly. Still, it was such a lovely experience overall. Definitely a must-visit if you want a cute and relaxing afternoon tea experience.“

“Their bento is really good on the go and the food is fresh and great. Luv it!“

“Good food and good service 🤩🤩👍👌“

“This shop has been here for decades. You will always find wonderful things to eat. Take out and cash only. I recommend their spring and summer rolls. Tasty and filling. They have the usual Ba-Le menu and have added several Chinese dish selections which are also delicious. Not sure if they still do it, but in the past, they grew all their own Basil, mint and green onions. A very dedicated couple of owners who have weathered the pandemic and continue to provide that old familiar taste and service that we have come to know.“

“I do not know what’s up with all the bad reviews. This place is a hidden gem. Let me first start by saying the kitchen is on point. Food comes out fresh and hot, wait staff is very friendly. Had no issues with the food, and honestly will eat here again. Marty our server was amazing and kind lady. She made sure everything was on point and up to our standards. Is it worth eating at yes is the prices fair yes.“
