Restaurants in Kapaa

“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!”

“Good vibes. Good Peeps. Delicious!”

“We got to witness a “hotel luau” because we were in the area of it. The smith family luau was so far above other luau’s and it’s local people running it. This was a beautiful evening filled with great food and an amazing show.”

“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!”

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

“The fish & chips were absolutely PERFECT! The service was kind and thoughtful. Parkingbis a bit tricky, but worth the walk. The atmosphere is very Hawaiian! You WILL NOT be disappointed. GO!!!”

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

“Best Loco Moco at Kauaii!!!”

“This was absolutely hands down my husband and my favorite shaved ice stop during our trip!! The only sad thing was, we only discovered them our last night on Kaua'i. ❤️”

“😀Love this place, Lady is funny and friendly and food is always ONO”

“Went to hukilau for 37th wedding anniversary. Oct 15. Was dying for prime rib. Didn’t care about price I wanted Prime rib so so bad. All we get here on Kauai is choice. There is no fat in the meat no marbling and you can’t cut it with a fork. You have to slice every bite. That is choice. And if you’re good with that. Then the rib is great. It was cooked perfectly. But I wanted the prime rib. Prime has fat all thru it and so tender the meat falls apart. Little pieces of fat around the edges and you can see the marbling in the center. I actually asked the waitress what was on my plate (which I have never ever done before) and she said it was prime she even went to the chef to check. He too said it was prime. I have cooked a lot of prime rib in my lifetime so I feel like I know what talking about but I felt like I was being blown off like an unknowing tourist. All I know is that my meat did not look anything like what is in the photo of their prime rib on the website with photos of their menu. Love this place otherwise. Been going there for 30 years. Incredibly nice waithelp and an incredible view for a romantic evening.”

“Best Thai food in kapaa hands down. Maybe even on island but I live on east side so I’ve tried them all. The woman who runs it is very kind. If you’re testing to figure it which Thai spot to go to this is the one.”

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

“Delicious food, friendly staff, and an amazing atmosphere! Highly recommend if you're in Kauai.”

“Wailua Drive In is the BEST! The loco moco is so tasty and no problem to add an extra egg :) Cooked to perfection! This time I added the ube cheesecake - that is a MUST HAVE!! The size is PERFECT too. Just right after a meal or snack after - so ONO!!”

“The comments says the shaved ice may be a little grainy….well let me explain, they have selections of real flavors made with Real Fruits, not the same or comparable to liquid candy flavors…. Keep up the good work Hee Fat yours are the best Shave Ice and a great price.”

“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!”

“We love Passion Bakery ♡ Shaun and the whole staff are always ready to serve us with a smile. Malasada days are the best ♡”

“The pastries here were the best I’ve had! All sorts of local favorites like sticky buns, as well as popular flavors like matcha, taro, and chocolate croissants!! Gluten free friendly options taste delicious and are amazing!”

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

“Best coconut malasadas that we found. They are super fluffy but not warm. Easy to find and park and they have a variety of coffees”

“Both times we had JoJo’s shaved ice while visiting Kauai the shaved ice was great! However I do have to say, the employees working the Kapa’a location was much more welcoming and friendlier than the Hanalei location.”

“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 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈”

“Great service, well served ❤️🔥”

“Best ribs I’ve eaten ever…thanks Mike! We missed you LPK! 😁”

“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!”

“We got the Detroit style marinara. Sauce was very flavorful, lots of olive oil, crust is almost like focaccia, with crispy cheese bits on the outside. Good for 2 people.”

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

“Big Wave Dave's is the best place in Kapa'a to have a drink or two and to eat fantastic food! Lots of local atmosphere and friendly service.”

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

“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!”

“Delicious food and coffee drinks! A must visit if you are on vacation. Worth the wait in line.”

“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!”

“Lilia and the other girl I didn't get her name were amazing!
Kind fast, efficient, thorough, and radiating Aloha! So stoked we found this place in the beginning of our trip. We literally ate here every day!”

“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.”

“The dole whip was delicious!”

“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.”

“We loved our coffee from Mokihana Coffee!!! Super friendly and amazing coffee!!!”

“We were in Kauai for 3 days and on our first night here, we decided to try Coconut Thai & Chinese Cuisine. We liked it so much that we decided to come back the second night.
And how could we end our trip in Kauai without eating there for our last diner. So here we are for the third time in a row. And we are not disappointed at all. We loved everything that we had here. We tried the padthai, the coconut curry, the Pan Fried Lo Mein and the Fresh Kauai Shrimp. It was EXCELLENT. We truly recommend this place. The waiter Silo is so nice and the food so good.
If one day we have the opportunity to come back in Kauai, we will be back at Coconut Thai & Chinese Cuisine ! Thanks again Silo 🫶🏽”

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

“Great food! Great price! Very accessible! Room for a cane or a wheelchair. No large menu or braille. Would have to have help with that.
However… over all Loved it!”

“Excellent and authentic Thai Food”

“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.”

“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”

“FRIED CURRIED CHICKEN WINGS TO DIE FOR (the chickens did…)!!Small and hidden place off the Kuhio Hwy is SO easy to miss - but SOOOO phenomenal!!I’ll be back frequently for Dinner and lunch! Connected to Sensei Shushi (same owners) which opens in 15 minutes.Follow the local epicureans to this delightful Mecca - you will NOT be disappointed!!!”

“Went to Kauai twice this year and Mamahunes is my favorite place to relax, have a great meal, great drinks, great people, and great views. Love this place.”

“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 had a reservation but arrived earlier than we thought they seated us early and we're very kind filled are waters multiple times threw the night plating was very nice and everything was very tasty the sushi was good aswell”

“This is helpful when you are in a pinch but you pay for the convenience. To go food is disappointing compared to other nearby options. Don't order the boneless ribs, it's actually 2 strips of flank steak reheated on a flat top, not the same thing! Sushi Shiono makes good grab n go sushi and the Wine bar has some great options, for late night too.”

“Stopped in for a breakfast and a seaside mimosa. Wonderful atmosphere staff right on top of all of our orders. Food was delicious, the view was outstanding. They do have a few gluten-free options.”

“Amazing food and service!!!”

“Visiting from California & Utah. Great tasting dinner specials. Staff was fun & friendly! Planning on returning for happy hour while we’re still in town.”

“Really great waffles and sugar cane juice.”

“Delicious! Really enjoyed dinner here.”

“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!”
