“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!“

“Best ramen on this island! The house ramen is the very delicious with a great balance of flavors 😋. I fully recommend this place to everyone looking for ramen. Staff was also very friendly and professional. I can't wait to get another one soon.“

“Incredibly authentic Moroccan experience. We have been here many times and not a single time we were disappointed. Always great food, great taste and joyful experience.

The menu is five course. They start with a beautiful soup, mezes, and something sweet before the main course. The finishing touches with tea and dessert. Be ready to eat a lot and mesmerized.“

“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.“

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

“We went here twice during our trip and WOW!!!!! I got the I Lava You bowl and my boyfriend ordered the chicken pesto sandwich. The bowl was incredible. A great balance between the bowl and toppings. You could absolutely taste the quality of the chicken in the sandwich. This cute quaint shop is located close to Kailua/Lanikai beach. There’s plenty of outdoor seating.“

“Food was so delicious!! I forgot to make this post a while back. When I went our server was Egeria and we were also helped by Chase. Both such amazing people! It added to the whole experience. I enjoy when the food is fresh - taste like farm to table kind of place - and folks love to where they work.“

“5 Stars — A Must-Visit Gem in Kailua!

From the moment we walked in, the crew at Lanikai Juice made us feel right at home. The staff was welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely enthusiastic about helping us navigate the menu — a huge plus when you're trying to decide between so many tempting options!

We ordered an açaí bowl and a smoothie, and both were absolutely outstanding. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, which speaks to the quality of ingredients they use. The serving sizes were generous and felt like a great value for what you get — no skimping here!

Lanikai Juice is the kind of place that leaves a lasting impression. It's not just about the food (though that alone is worth the trip) — it's the whole experience. We're already looking forward to our next visit and can't wait to dive into another açaí bowl and smoothie!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Cute little spot, very similar to Chipotle or Qdoba, but we liked supporting a local place. We ordered two chicken bowls and a steak burrito. Portion sizes were pretty large, we felt it was good value. Salsas were flavorful, especially the corn.“

“Some of the best coffee / Cappuccino’s in Hawaii. The pastries are also great, with nice sitting areas in and out. Prices are fair for the island. Highly recommend it after watching the sun rise at Lanikai beach.“

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

“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“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Owner is nice and Friendly,Fast Customer Service. Clean Atmosphere. Everything is Fresh,homemade testy and Onolious. Prices are reasonable. Pumpkin Spice Crunch,Fudgey Chocolate Brownies, and Godiva Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse Cheesecake melts in your mouth.“

“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.“

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

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

“Went there with my husband on a house hunting trip and stopped there for lunch. We both had pizza which were quite good, thin crust, simple ingredients but flavorful. We had 2 servers and both were friendly and accommodating. A rooster was trying to get some of our foods and was not very happy with us. Overall a nice place to stop by.“

“Our couple came to Hawaii from Korea for a trip.
After swimming at Kailua Beach Park and feeling exhausted, we stopped by Formaggio Grill because it looked the most delicious.
She welcomed us warmly with a big smile and was incredibly kind. She recommended menu items for us, and most of all, we really enjoyed talking together and spending such a pleasant time there.
Both the food and the service were excellent. We highly recommend this place!“

“Being from Bakersfield, California, we know good Mexican food, and Mexico Lindo absolutely delivered! This was by far the best Mexican food we found anywhere on the island.

The portions were generous, the cocktails were large and well-made, and every dish we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and authentic. What really made the experience stand out was the outstanding service. From the host who greeted us, to our server, to the bartender, everyone was friendly, attentive, and genuinely interested in making sure we had a great experience.

The staff was happy to answer questions, offer recommendations, and make us feel welcome from start to finish. It's clear they take pride in both their food and their customer service.

If you're craving great Mexican food while visiting Oahu, don't miss Mexico Lindo. We will definitely be back on our next trip to Kailua!“

“Aside from great food, Shar who helo us makes this dinner special to celebrate our wedding anniversary and hubby's birthday. Her friendly attitude and helped us to enjoy our food.“
