Restaurants in Kapaa

“This is a great family friendly luau. The food is very good and the mixed drinks are very tasty. The show is more of a traditional show and is very nice to watch. The grounds are beautiful and you are guaranteed to see peacocks :)”

“We were there for antidemic opening. Truly the best tacos I have ever had.”

“We just enjoyed a delightful dinner that was too tasty for us to stop and take a picture. We had the teriyaki chicken and the grilled ahi. The service was over the top and the patio was perfect. Thank you! You have fans from Texas!”

“I really wanted to give this place 5 stars, but the inconsistent service and food held me back. We went three times because my husband likes Lau Lau, and it was within walking distance from our condo. The lady who works the morning shift is wonderful. The younger servers they had for the evening shift need more training. We enjoyed the food two out of the three visits.”

“8.5/10
extra 0.5 for great service! they were super nice, brought out our food to our table, checked in on us.
- poke bowl 8.5/10: fish was solid. nothing super special about it though. koloa fish market is top tier. this was better than konohiki though
- shrimp tacos 8.5/10: chipotle cream pretty gas. fried super well. but nothing that wowed us. would come back. bye.”

“Soooo good and very friendly staff. Everything we ordered was delicious too! I got a falafel pita sandwich and my wife got a chicken shawarma pita sandwich. We also got the hand cut fries with the garlic sauce the cashier suggested. That was so gooood too. It was also nice to find such a vegan friendly place. Worth a stop!”

“Best Loco Moco at Kauaii!!!”

“Great service! Innovative, well-crafted dishes.”

“We ate here for the first time today… recommended by a friend. It was fantastic! The food was flavorful and fresh and so very good! It was my birthday treat and made me very happy 😃”

“This are by far the best tacos we’ve had in the island. We tried the pastor ones, asada and mahi mahi and they were very good. The green salsa they had went great with the asada tacos. We are Mexicans and know about real tacos so we really recommend this place.”

“We ate here every single day in Kauai—it’s that good! The food is super tasty, from the fried rice and Pad Thai to the curries and noodles. Everything was just so flavorful and satisfying. Plus, the owner is really friendly and makes you feel right at home. If you’re craving Thai food, this place is a must! Especially for Fried rice 😀”

“love it. good food. good energy. the definition of ALOHA spirit”

“Great service, well served ❤️🔥”

“The pizza is absolutely amazing! We got a Detroit & a NY style. Both were cooked to perfection & very flavorful. The restaurant is clean & super cute, & the service is impeccable. Will definitely be back! 10/10 🤙🏼”

“The best Mexican food on planet earth, We have been coming as long as I can remember, I had and love the Monico special but sometimes we just get the nacho's. I could right a review about the nachos but this picture is worth all anyone could say. Dammm that sh is great.”

“Best shaved ice syrup that we tasted the the whole trip. They make them themselves and you can tell. Only thing that would make it better would be macadamia ice cream”

“What a great place to find so close to our vacation spot. Every pastry looked so delicious. My husband enjoyed the pecan sticky roll. I was so excited to find six different gluten free choices (!) that I stopped in a total of three times while we were there! Highly recommended.”

“I was on my way to a different coffee place this morning but decided to stop here. The service was great. Coffee has great taste and I had a slice of the blueberry loaf and it melts in your mouth!”

“Amazing and so worth brining it back to Albuquerque nm . Will order more if they deliver via mail”

“A very romantic restaurant with delicious food and the best service you could ask for. I highly recommend Oasis On The Beach”

“If you're in the mood for BBQ, then take a stop by this place. They have a variety of BBQ options both as plates and a la carte. Prices are fair and service is friendly and super fast. I will mention there is only outdoor seating and birds do come by and check out what your eating but....the food is worth it!”

“The sushi was delicious and the presentation was beautiful. The staff are professional and friendly.”

“This is a very cool little place. Lots of local history. Great food! Great staff. They surve food on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday (we showed up Wednesday afternoon, but came back Thursday to try the food. We had the mushroom bombers (must try!) The shaggy roll (got to meet shaggy!) And the fish and chips (wahoo fish, Ono) Everything was delicious! The staff and the other patrons were very friendly. It's definitely worth stopping in when you are in Kapa'a. They also have karaoke, live music and dancing some nights! We define will be going back! Do yourself a favor and check it out!”

“Great local roaster that knows how to roast to bring out the natural varietal profile. This was our go to morning cup everyday while vacationing in Kauai. You can get any bean on the menu as a pour over. It was my first time trying coffees from Thailand and India. The baristas know how to pull an espresso shot. Nice crema and rich flavor. Not knocking the iconic Kauai Coffee, but if you like coffee that's roasted to bring out flavor profiles natural to the bean, Imua is the place for you. ☕”

“It’s a nice place to meet friends n good food service is fast with a lot of aloha go there n share your aloha too 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈”

“Had the swordfish special. My wife had a fancy burger. We each had a different cocktail. Everything was really delicious!!! We also had the best server in our lives, her name was Kay. I know we will never have a server as great as her ever. We wish her the best!”

“Best Lamb Saag of my life! It’s my favorite meal! I highly recommend Ono Bar and grill! 10 stars!”

“Amazing food and smoothies. Highly recommend”

“Excellent and authentic Thai Food”

“The barista was friendly, they were open early on the holiday when no one else was, and most importantly: I had the best latte in existence! SO GOOD.”

“Really a great find. My wife and I came here on our first trip to Kauai 12 years ago, while out for a walk near our hotel. We just had to come back (it’s now 2024). Cool to see they’re still making really good food in this tiny shop off the main road. Note that they have a menu that’s bigger than what’s up on the big board. Try the meat jun.”

“We visited the store while on vacation and after visiting the lydgate beach. They were quick in making the entree within 5 minutes. We ordered bigger plate of chowmein, fried rice, Beijing beef, black pepper chicken with watermelon mango refresher. The prices in Hawaii are definitely more than other states for same chain.”

“Coconut Thai & Chinese Cuisine in Kapa‘a was such a pleasant surprise! We tried the fresh Kaua‘i shrimp and the crispy mahi mahi — both dishes were flavorful, perfectly cooked, and felt like a true taste of the island. The service was friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. A cozy local spot with delicious food and great hospitality. Definitely worth a visit while in Kapa‘a!”

“Service was perfect, I lost service where I could not connect to the internet to order an uber/lyft and they were super helpful to have me use their phone and give me WiFi to try to find a way home . 20/10 service for being awesome human beings . It was late at night right before closing and pouring rain so thanks to them we got home safely”

“Just discovered Kenji burger near the end of my contract with the pride of America and I WILL be back in November! 10/10, absolutely delicious!”

“My wife and I had a coffee late, a taro boba shake, banana bread and a croissant with bacon, egg and cheese. There was a bit of a wait as they were busy, but breakfast was great and affordable for the area! Will come back in the future!”

“Food surprisingly good and really huge portions. On our first day there I ordered 3 appetizers to kind of be a snack between 4 people. They were huge and we were all stuffed. All delicious! Menu is really limited, but can't beat the scenery overlooking the ocean. Highly recommend”

“Love Paniolo. Great atmosphere, food & especially the live music.”

“One of the best Garlic Shrimp place on the island so far (we tried 8 others prior). Large shrimps (around 5 pieces) with shell on, head on. Comes hot, spicy, and garlicy. Friendly owner Nd quick service. Not too many shades to sit when it gets crowded.”

“Almost drove away because the exterior is extremely uninviting but decided to try it anyway. Great experience ? thank you. Maybe some paint and some flowers outside?”

“The best Pho on the island! Great big bowl with noodles, chicken, bean sprouts, broth. They did a tremendous business. Very filling, we eat here often when we visit.”

“A it hard to find but worth the effort. A bit set back at rhe back if a strip mall.The meads are not your typical meads. Not sweet. The tastings are well thought out. Tbr best way is to get a full flight of current offerings and a flight of aged and special offerings to taste through the differences.
It was great to see a local Philly girl living her best life on the island.”

“I had the sea bass, and It was the best meal I have had in years.”

“We were hesitant to go here since the rating wasn’t the highest, but our food was all delicious! We also loved the view and our service was great. I’m not sure why it doesn’t have a better rating because it should.

We loved the fish tacos, ahi sandwich and chicken wings. Excellent spot for lunch!”

“Situated on the 2nd floor of an old building with limited view of the ocean. The other side is open with high top tables and you overlook town/ mountains. Very beachy vibe and open air space. Music is loud even at 9am and servings are HUGE! Great spicy Bloody Mary and breakfast burrito - double the size I expected. Maybe not as unique or special food as Kountry Kitchen across the street but easy parking and no wait to be seated.”

“Another busy place. Once you try it you'll know why. The lady at the register was so sweet and efficient. The young chefs made great burgers and fries. The portion was good for the price. Great food with friendly staff near the beach. I love it!”

“Creamy gelato, yum!!
Located in a shopping center with good shop options and eateries
We dropped by just for the gelato on a warm day to cool off
Good variety of flavor options
Menu shows a variety of food options which we didn't get to try but they looked and smelled good as others ordered and enjoyed 😋

*Make sure to double check hours 😉”

“We were recommended by several friends to go to this restaurant and we are glad we did. The food was superior! Everything we ordered was a tasty treat!”

“At first I thought service was a bit slow until the waitress let us know they were down a couple staff members for the evening. Even with just her on the floor, food and drinks still made there way out promptly. A wonderful experience overall!”

“Amazing food and service!!!”

“Stopped here on a whim en route from Airbnb to Airbnb and were blown away! Very good service, truly delicious food, pleasant environment, and staff singing to the radio, helping each other out, and seeming to enjoy their job. It was also affordable! Very happy to have stopped!”

“Delicious! Really enjoyed dinner here.”

“Wife and I had dinner here and loved it. I had the prime rib at Dukes the night before and it was meh and expensive, had the same size prime rib at Bull Shed and not only was it better tasting, it was half the price! It was our first time here and it was memorable. Wife, and friends loved their food too.”
