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!!“

“Nene Goose Bakery has been serving our Kailua community for many, many decades. If you know how it feels to pick up a delicious pastry from a small, hole-in-the-wall spot owned by the same people your entire life, you’ll love it here.“

“Ummm best pancakes ever! Great service also. Thanks 😊“

“I’ve been wanting to go to this place for a while and was so happy that I finally did!Ganesh Dosa does not disappoint! They had so many different types of vegan crêpes or Dosa to choose from. I had one that was filled with potatoes and spices and it was so good and cooked to perfection. I also had a peanut butter and jelly cookie that was vegan and I was gonna say for dessert but it did not make it two minutes out of the parking lot. The place has a cute ambience if you wanna go for lunch with your friends or the orders are really quick and you can just pop in and order a dinner or meal and it’ll be ready in minutes so you can take it home. The staff is really friendly and knowledgeable, especially about vegans. They did have one item that would not be vegan, which would be real Nutella in a crêpe, but I asked if I brought some vegan type of Nutella in if that could be used instead and they said no problem. There’s also a really cute chocolate shop next door that sells vegan chocolate and a couple of vintage shops nearby that were closed but I would love to check out another day when they’re open. It’s a great location, great food, great service, and a great treat to have.“

“Everything is made from scratch. Excellent broths. Nice selection of meats, dumplings & veggies. Vegan option too.“

“My wife and I finally had the opportunity to go and try out Naji Baba today after she had gotten off of work and omg it did not disappoint! A good pal of mine runs this food stand and I've been meaning to stop by for a while now. I had the gyro and she had the mix platter and they were both incredible! We got extra peta bread to eat with her mix platter and it was an excellent touch. The staff was friendly, the food was immaculate, what more could you ask for honestly! Gyros have also been a favorite food of mine for a very long time and the ones they prepare here easily became my favorite, I even grabbed an extra one to go. I could not recommend this place enough! Thank you guys so much for the great food!“

“While visiting Hawaii for the first time from Orange County, California, we found this wonderful Korean restaurant.

The food was delicious, and we were pleasantly surprised that a high-quality salad bar was included with our order. We enjoyed a very satisfying and filling dinner. Highly recommended!“

“Delicious!! Stopped by after SUP-ing with Kailua Beach Adventure. Loved the teriyaki beef and garlic shrimp plate. It was shareable between 2 adults for a lighter lunch. Price also reasonable. Recommend if you’re nearby and need a quick lunch.“

“Omakase was very good! There was a variety of sushi pieces and presentation was simple but carefully created! Atmosphere was quaint but roomy enough to the person sitting next to you. Domo Arigato Chef!!“

“Great food. Cool atmosphere. Awesome shakes.“

“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“

“This is my favorite ramen spot EVER. Their kimchi ramen is legitimately life changing. The staff is wonderful and this is always a MUST GO for us and we always take home some of their chili oil/sauce for use at home. So happy they are now packaging it! If you need a sign to try this place, may this be that sign. You will not regret it.“

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

“The ambiance is nice, the food was pretty good. I would recommend eating here for the experience. I enjoyed the live music it was a nice addition to the setting. Not a lot of elbow room for some of the seating not a complaint just an observation. The food is good but you are paying for the experience mostly.“

“Wonderful experience, Korean Steak entree was amazing and Fresh Fish entree with macadamia nut pesto was delicious. Excellent service and vibe. Highly recommend.“

“Delicious food and drinks, friendly waitstaff. Will return if we're back on The Big Island someday.“

“I’m from the Boston area and every time I visit, I HAVE TO have pizza here!!“

“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!!!!??“

“Great service, good food, great value.“

“We keep coming back here for ramen takeout, and it’s earned a regular spot in the rotation. For a newer Kailua Town Center shop, the bowls are consistent, filling, and better than a lot of the “close enough” ramen you can grab on the Windward side.​

The broth is the reason we order it. You can tell they take the time to slow simmer it for a rich flavor. Tonkotsu comes out creamy and porky. Tan tan has that sesame heat you can bump up or down. Short rib ramen is the heavier option when we want something more substantial—beefy broth, tender meat, the usual toppings like egg, green onion, bamboo, and mushrooms. Portions are generous enough that leftovers are common.​

Noodles hold up better than expected for takeout. Spice levels on tan tan are customizable, which is useful if you’re ordering for more than one person. Combos with gyoza and kimchi are an easy add-on when you don’t want to think too hard.

Excellent place for a quick meal!“

“As a first time visitor to the Aloha state of Hawaii I was very impressed with the music, atmosphere, food, and the employees were AWESOME! Our waitress Josslyn was EXTREMELY AWESOME with her services. MAHALO SO MUCH FOR THE BEST RESTAURANT FOOD EVER.“

“great customer service, AMAZING sandwichs!“

“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.“

“Great food great time, definitely would go back.“

“As far as hospital food goes, the Bistro at Castle is top tier. Many options and definitely a hit if you are someone avoiding meat but want something good. The workers are always nice and pleasant in my experience and idk it's just nice to have some good quality, affordable food when you are in an environment where you are most likely not at your best. Ive been meaning to come leave a review since last year lol but I finally got around to it because I've been having to frequent the Bistro a lot more in the past few months because I've had to be at Castle so much as of late. But yeah just wanted to give the workers their props and let them know that the food is highly enjoyed and appreciated.“

“This restaurant is definitely under new owners because the atmosphere is cleaner, organized and very relaxing atmosphere with pleasant background music. The food is delicious! Fresh ingredients, great combinations, and fantastic presentation. The service is superb too. They are so kind and very accommodating. They’ve done a wonderful job and Kailua is lucky to have this restaurant.“

“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.“

“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“

“Very yummy. I have the beef curry with the side of goyza and miso soup. The curry was amazing. The sauce of rich and not to thick. The beef was perfectly cooked, so tender! The veggies cooked really well and easy to eat. The miso soup was light and a perfect compliment to the curry's rich flavor. The goyza were cooked perfectly and had a great crunch.

Over great experience! Highly recommend!“

“I am a fan of Himalayan Kitchen in Kaimuki, and had lunch in Kailua at their restaurant today.

The food was GREAT! We had Samosas and Papadam to start - the papadam flavors were perfect and nice and crispy! The samosa were great and I especially loved the cilantro sauce.
We then had Lamb Madras, Saag Paneer and Beghan Barta, all were delicious.

My friend likes mild, and I like spicy so Jay, our server brought me a little dish of the BEST hot sauce!

Jay was attentive and really accommodating. I can't wait to eat there again soon!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Wanted some Island food for a quick lunch before heading to beach. The menu was varied and plentiful. I got the lau lau pork (first time) and it was good. Husband got seafood plate with chicken katsu. The amount of seafood was same as the katsu (he’d hoped more seafood, given the name). Said the seafood was good, katsu was better.“

“Stopped in to watch the World Cup and had a great time. We managed to grab a table for our group. The food was spot on. Servers were great, although a bit understaffed with only one bartender to start with, she was great and doing an amazing job, but thankfully a second arrived later and gave the first some relief. The crowd was a lot of fun too. If I lived in the area I would go back.“

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

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

“Tried to order online a basic dish, oyster sauce chicken with cake noodle and couldn't. They have banners in front of their restaurant advertising it yet I couldn't order it online.

They might want to get a new webmaster.

Update: changing my rating to 5 stars. Picked up my order. It was ready when I walked on. Still and friendly lady at the register. I've ordered Oyster Sauce Cake Noodle from here for decades. It was okay but not great. Its my favorite so I kept ordering it.

After several years of not going back, today I decided to try again.

Wow! It was totally different. Nice meaty pieces of chicken, lots of greens which is usual for every place ive ordered this. Good cake noodles though I prefer them to be a bit more cakey. And an affordable price.

Could be the best I've had. Will be back!“

“Just a great "chill" place to hang out!“

“I recommend this brewery! My husband and I tried this one and the original brewery in Maui. Preferred this one! Food was good and service excellent. The draft beers were great and fun to try. The flavors are more tropical and fresh than what you get back on the mainland. The atmosphere was great and relaxing. In the evenings they have live music. Service was excellent even when busy. Thanks would go here again while in Kailua!“

“Real good aesthetic bar/grill. Takes about 15-20mins to get your food. Servers were nice and on top of getting us water and asking if we’re okay.
The Salmon- was a 6.9/10. The fish itself was very soft and broke apart easily and the skin came off smoothly. The dish itself had pasta with pepper, lemon, butter, tomatoes, onion, and peas. Didn’t taste very fish like which was good, but the noodles had little to no flavor. Overall decent place to go out and dress casual/old money.
Didn’t get drinks but they have a bar and do all sorts of drinks.“

“Great food if you're looking for something different while in Hawaii. Friendly and speedy service. I got the Combo #1 with an enchilada, taco, and chalupa (your choice of meat), and ate it all. Skinny margaritas for those looking to decrease your sugar and calorie intake without sacrificing taste.“
