“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 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!!“

“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.“

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

“Great food. Cool atmosphere. Awesome shakes.“

“Highly recommended!!! If you’re craving authentic Mexican food, this is your spot. I stopped in on a Tuesday for their taco specials and was absolutely blown away. The tacos were legit, with tender meat, fresh onions and cilantro, and warm tortillas that hit the spot.

The chips and guacamole? Next level good. 🥑 Incredibly fresh, creamy, and flavorful. Easily some of the best I’ve had in Oahu.

What really made the visit great though was the kindness and speed of the service. Everyone there was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely seemed to care about your experience. You can feel the pride they take in their food and service.

Whether you’re a local or just visiting Kailua, make this place part of your regular taco rotation. You won’t regret it.

Se los recomiendo!! Los tacos están llenos de sabor, el guacamole es increíblemente fresco y el servicio fue rápido y muy amable. ¡Los martes tienen tacos a solo $3! Si estás en Kailua, no te lo puedes perder. Muchas gracias chicos!“

“We stopped here on a whim for lunch after swimming a Waimanalo Beach. They have a wonderful variety of food, from local dishes to pizza for our pickiest of eaters. The poke nachos and garlic shrimp were my favorite meals of our weeklong trip!!“

“Casablanca truly left me speechless. From the NYC area, we have a plethora of restaurants to choose from and we eat out a lot. Casablanca would be a if it were in the NYC area…and we’re in Kailua?! An absolutely amazing place from the ambiance, tasteful food, service, authenticity. Can go on and on. This is worth the drive from wherever you might be on Oahu. Don’t miss Casablanca!!!!!!!!!!“

“So stoked to find somewhere that does gluten free ramen noodles, and the whole dish was delicious too!! We had the house Charsiu pork each, mine with a shoyu base and his with curry. Both were so tasty, and plenty condiments provided to spice, salt, soy the broth as you please. There were many other broth options that might suit celiac better but mine is intolerance and sauces don’t usually cause bad flare-ups so this was a perfect indulgence. Would definitely come back!“

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

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

“Kalapawai is a go-to restaurant for my friends and I. In this particular visit my friend had an adverse reaction to a medication and we needed to leave abruptly. Allison our server was totally on top of her game, got our main courses boxed and handed to us in less than a minute. The food was excellent, the service was superb.“

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

“Sunrise Shack Cafe is one of the best spots to grab a healthy and delicious meal in Oahu. Their açaí bowls are incredibly fresh, and it’s great that they have multiple locations across the island, making it convenient to stop by. The Monkey Bowl is perfect for peanut butter lovers — rich, flavorful, and satisfying. The Veggie Vibes sandwich is a standout, with crisp veggies and a unique papaya seed dressing that adds an interesting and tasty twist. The cafe has a relaxed, welcoming vibe, and the quality of the ingredients really shines through. A must-visit for anyone looking for fresh, flavorful, and wholesome food on the island.“

“The food portions are amazing and the food is excellent This is a family owned restaurant and they are such wonderful people Recommend this place to everyone“

“Great service, good food, great value.“

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

“The smoothies are the best I have ever tasted! I feel like I am actually drinking the strawberries and not any added flavors.
I also got the pumpkin smoothie and felt like for the first time ever I have had an actual pumpkin smoothie. Delicious!“

“The better half of the world food tour duo trekked over to Kailua and met me at Gaslamp, on Ho'olai St. The parking lot was full so we both found parking on the street. Hah, when I got back to my car, I found another car illegally parked behind me. So, parking appears to be an issue in this area.

There is no signage outside that tells you it’s Gaslamp, the signage says Kailua Town Pub and Grill. You have to go past the left side of the bar to a door, give a wait staff the secret passcode (which I failed to remember) and be taken through a door behind you, up a steep staircase to a small space overlooking the bar downstairs. There are about six tables and it’s a very dark space.

Natalie was our server and we started with a Botanist gin & tonic ($18) and a glass of J Lassalle Champagne ($25). I didn’t have any details about the wine, but it was not complex and was lacking bubbles.

We ordered the Kagoshima Wagyu Carpaccio($32) and the Escargot Bone Marrow ($42) to start. The carpaccio was a visual treat with capers, thin slices of radish, dill, pecorino and caviar. It tasted as good as it looked. The bone marrow was even better … two large bones topped with garlic buttered escargot, decorated with blistered tomatoes, and an arugula salad with two pieces of grilled sourdough. So unctuous, so decadent, so divine!

We split two entrees … The Wagyu Sampler (market price, it was $179), and the Black Truffle Risotto ($54). We added extra truffle ($12) and a side of Miso Brussels Sprouts ($16). The sampler came with two pieces of A5 “Snow Beef”, a piece of American “Wagyu” Filet Mignon, and pieces of ribeye an NY striploin, 12oz in all, and two sauces. The risotto contained sea asparagus, mascarpone and mozzarella cheeses, Hamakua mushrooms, and tomatoes. I consider the extra black truffle mandatory … It’s not special without it.

We ended our meal by sharing a Tiramisu ($12) and I had an espresso ($5). The tiramisu was very good, made in the classic style with pieces of fruit on top.

There was live music … a saxophonist played soft jazz starting at 6:30pm. It was our kind of music. Service was fine … we asked Natalie to slow down the delivery of food, and she ensured it was so. The food was great and we enjoyed our first visit to Gaslamp. One note: they apply a service charge if you use a credit card … It seems to be the new norm. Highly recommended (4.5), even if you must search for parking.“

“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!“

“아사히볼 맛있어요 !!“

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

“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.“

“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!!“

“Love how they have grass fed and free range chicken! We got burritos soooooo Good!!! I picked another spot but when we showed up it was closed. This place was 2 minutes away and I'm very happy 😊 we picked it food was good and service was outstanding.“

“We Love this place! Always super tasty and fresh! The Super gyro is moist, juicy and the pita.....fresh! The tziki is drop dead delish!!! Also the fish pita was my favorite....My hubby can't stop with the gyros????? Mahalo nui Yamas!!!!??“

“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.“

“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 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.“

“Stopped by for their new takeout curry, saw their sign outside and decided to try it out. We got the pork katsu curry and the karaage curry. The food was seriously delicious. The katsu tasted amazing and the salt and flavor of the karaage was perfect. Highly recommend everyone come try it!“

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

“I got the large aloha passion with steak. It was very tasty, but I wished I had asked for it tossed. They charged me a dollar extra for extra dressing, which is weird considering they don't even make all their dressings in house. The girls there were very nice, and they gave reasonably quick service. The restaurant is depressingly sterile. Overall, I would go back again because my wife works there.“

“HIGHLY recommend! Above and beyond my expectations, as ALWAYS ❤️“

“Good food. Fast service. Short staffed, no one came to check on us but we were ok. Cold inside restaurant, need to turn AC down!“

“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“

“I ate here on my recent trip to Kona. I was happy to find the same menu items that I’m used to on the mainland. The quality and taste of the food were also in line with what I’m used to at home. This place seems like a good value for money compared to some other places I ate at in Kona. I didn’t get a fortune cookie with my meal though, which I’m used to getting at home. Not a big deal, but I noticed.“

“been eating here for over 20 years and they are friendly and consistent with everything. best pad thai n cashew nut chicken ever!!!“

“An amazing spot for good noodles & curries. Highlighting recommend if you’re looking for vegetarian/vegan dishes, they had a great range of curries & an amazing vegan pad Thai. Overall very friendly & helpful staff. Definitely worth a try.“

“The staff was really friendly. We got the wombo chombo pizza and Polynesian wings... really delicious! definitely recommend this place“

“Came here for a Business Meeting Food was great Drinks were as always delicious Music was a little too loud (we had to yell over it, but our table was close to the musicians on top of Bose speakers amplifying the sound) but the music was absolutely amazing !!!“

“Sunday evening crew of staff were nice 👍 and gave good customer service. Especially, when me and my sister-in-Christ✝️ wanted to half a pizza 🍕 with separate toppings. It came out delicious 😋🤤 It was my 1st time @ this location. I usually dine @ the University location. It has been a couple of years since I’ve had pizza from this franchise. There is no disparity between locations. Just awesomeness 👏“
