It's Kalapawai! Must start any trip to Kailua here.
A Hot Bar inside of a store, is my best description, with great food. Staff were nice and helpful, as I have a severe gluten intolerance. I ordered the Mana Bowl with grilled chicken and had no issues. My family ordered a variety of food and were all pleased.
There is seating on the outside, located on the side of the building.
Parking is limited.

The vibe is excellent, the food delicious. The manager on duty (owner?) this morning was incredibly kind and helpful to her team. I love supporting a place that provides great customer service and obviously cares about their employees.
