If this place is still in business, the owner needs to update the new location. It is NOT located inside any business that Google is currently saying it does. Big disappointment. Tried calling and no answer.

Might I say; not so great. Also it was my idea me and my friends eat here. Oof. All of us, pretty hungry. Eastside kitchen, sounds quaint food looked ok from the pictures. Why not. I’ve definitely had way better food in an airport terminal. No beer on tap only bottles. Warm bottles of beer at that. And by the way there is no exterior sign for the eastside kitchen. Once you’ve entered the sticky cavernous strange bar you will notice eastside kitchens only sign, real punk rock you may be thinking. Sure, but the food does not at all back up the exclusive nature of a single interior of the bar sign for a seemingly stand alone restaurant.So with all that said there were numerous blushed apologies to my compatriots over a plate of flaming hot Cheetos encrusted corn and a taco that was mostly mozzarella cheese. items a drunken teenager may have assembled from his out of town parents fridge.I will say the service was actually pretty ok so I gave two stars.

I don't like to write bad reviews and I really wanted to like this place but I'm sincerely surprised at its high rating. I ordered the chicken tacos with the 3-sauces. Very mediocre, basically greasy and flavorless.I may give the street corn a try. But really can't recommend this place.

Disappointed. Expected same menu selection as Kaneohe. However Offerings were very limited and just pupu type. Small portions. Left still hungry. Table was sticky all over. Sign they don't clean very well. Yes, definitely bar atmosphere . Food tasted just passable.

Food is delicious. Our family had the kalbi fries, chicharones, shoyu wings, and birria tacos. Great drinks too!

Amazing food. Amazing service. ?

Unbelievable. The tacos with beef and pork were so good. My husband got the the kalbi fries and said it was one of the best meals he’s had. If you want tacos with good marinated meats- go here. It’s inside of a bar, casual place. Definitely recommend!!

I ordered the Birria tacos. I got one kalua pork, one beef and one chicken. It was very delicious, I opted to get all of the dipping sauce options and I'm so glad I did. Word of advice, don't skip on the beef consummé! It's so flavorful and you will get a very generous portion. My favorite was the kalua pork tacos. I will definitely be back again very soon to try the eloté, the wings and the fries. The staff was also very friendly! I told them I would've loved a small side of tortilla chips and they said they are thinking about adding it to the menu. Overall, delicious birria tacos, delicious beef consummé and great service. I can't wait to try their other menu items!

The food was delicious and the people who prepared the food were super friendly. Easily the best meal I had while on Oahu.

East-Side Kitchen in Kailua is a must-visit spot for delicious food and warm hospitality. Try their famous Birria Tacos and Poke Nachos. You won't be disappointed ????❤️

Omgeee!! The food is amazing! Wings are the best I've ever had in my life! They're crispy and put the sause on the side so it doesn't get soggy. We did honey hot...soooo good! And the tacos are just at good! We tried all three, our fav was the pork. But they are all good! And the service was great! So sweet and helpful! I wish I could take this place home with me!

Please understand that this is a restaurant located INSIDE a bar. Not a place to bring kids. That said, the elote and tacos were fantastic and affordable. I would probably elect to skip the cheese salsa and sour cream next time for the tacos and only get the consommé, it’s fantastic.
