Restaurants in Kapolei

“I don’t care for the regular cookies, but I like their thin cookies. I also really like their cakes, pies, dessert cups, and brownies. The only thing that I really dislike is that when you pre-order it’s not always available. What is the point of pre-ordering if your items are not available when you pick it up?! They should hold your order on the side to make sure you get what you paid for. This happened to me three times already.”

“The cutest place ever ! Got games for kids and even a little box for prayer request! Such a cute hidden gem will recommend 100%”

“Food is great, need dining area though.”

“Our family of 7 had an absolutely amazing experience at Noe! The food was fabulous—we were practically scraping our plates clean! Our server, Kyle, was energetic, passionate, and truly went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. We also loved that Noe was so welcoming and kid-friendly for our sweet girls, ages 3 and 5. We had such a wonderful time, and this was by far the best meal we've had during our stay in Ko Olina. We highly recommend Noe!”

“My family has been a regular since we got hooked the first time we came. If you love hotpot, then I would definitely recommend this place. Whenever we do come, the wait time is minimal if there even is a wait time. The broths are very flavorful and delicious with many food selections to choose from to put into your pot. Their sides and meats are also great as well. The service is phenomenal, with servers always checking up on us or cleaning up empty dishes whenever they pass our table. The atmosphere is cozy and with Aunty there it feels like a 2nd home! This place is 10/10.”

“burger was amazing. grilled mushrooms and onions were perfect. burger was bursting with flavor. and the tots were a perfect crispiness”

“We had a wide variety of options and all were so yummy!! Definitely worth it!”

“It's fun and kids love dancing with Chuck E. Cheese & with awesome food.”

“Whenever I’m craving Thai this place is my go to! 🤗 I loveee their Combo B plate and papaya salad medium spicy 🥵 I always order take out and never dined in yet, but every time I go, the service is very friendly! I highly recommend this place when you’re needing your Thai fix 😋”

“Would like to thank Raye for her awesome recommendation..she is the best waitress I ever encountered.”

“Always love the food and service here. The fries are my favorite on the island!”

“there soup is onolicious”

“Affordable price for buffet lovers. Valet parking is reasonable... Lots of choices to choose from... all you can eat for a price you will never regret...”

“Good food and nice people. Great local experience!”

“Denny’s Kapolei has friendly staff and give great service all hours of the day ! One of the few place open late and that is awesome! Prices are decent and burgers are fantastic !”

“We highly recommend Moani island Bistro.The owners have created a wonderful choice of food and all of the staff are awesome! Their food was delicious and the wait staff especially Raina and the two brothers that work the bar were so much fun. The owner came out and introduced herself. We loved it so much we went three times on our stay! 10⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“By far one of the best meals my family and I ever had. The canoe appetizer was off the charts and the meals were even better. The ahi tuna and both the 16 is cab steak and the wagyu A-5 6oz was incredible and the desserts were even better. Highly recommend”

“Nice/cozy restaurant with great foods.”

“The Sunday Buffet was amazing. The service and food are amazing and theblocation outside with music was perfect for a breakfast in January. Will definitely go again when we come back to the island.”

“Excellent food! Quality ingredients crafted with care.”

“Such a beautiful resort and the food is amazing at Longhi’s!”

“If you do any luau here… do this one at Aulani. When aulani first opened they had a luau of sorts on the lawn on some nights with music and hula and it was great. They then started the Ka Wa’a a luau and really made it better. The first time on Oahu in 2011 we did the Paradise Cove luau which was very touristy to say the meat and the food was alright. The Aulani luau feels more authentic and the food is hands down better quality- think 4 star restaurant Hawaiian food! The show can’t be beat and the pre show activities are perfect. Spring for the premium tickets for better seating, earlier access and the free foto.
This is always our must do the last 3x we have visited Aulani now.

There is a Disney twist to this luau but they story telling is beautiful and makes you feel like a part of the Hawaiian culture!

Update 5/24/26: still a great luau on this trip! Bonus if you get a room overlooking that area of Aulani you can watch from your balcony. Shout out to Rod- the best bartender!”

“Good food and drinks … nice ambiance… friendly staff”

“In the stress of moving off island and living in a hotel room with my two animals this restaurant is the highlight of my day. Everyone is extremely friendly, the drinks are amazing, and the food is delicious. Thank you for being my haven!”

“Beachfront dining with excellent service, unbeatable lagoon views, and decent food. Overall, the food was very nice plated and great flavors, but in my opinion every dish was slightly salty, not a deal breaker but certainly could be a little less heavy handed. I would definitely come back again but hope everything would be a little bit more dialed in to make it 5/5 stars.

Kambucha squash with miso caramel: great flavor and great texture but sauce was again very seasoned. 8/10

NY strip steak: perfectly cooked medium rare with nice crunchy bits on top and very tender. It was served with a few sauces that while indeed salty again, in this case it worked and the salt let the beef flavor shine. 9/10 would definitely come back again for this.

KFC cauliflower: korean fried iteration of cauliflower it was spicy, sticky, crunchy, sweet and definitely was one of the table favorites. 9/10

Sunset roll: standard sushi roll with crab and fish on top. It was good and fresh. 8.5/10

Beef, pork, mushroom skewers: the pork belly was great and the sauce was tasty and not overly salty, my favorite of the three. The beef was decent but did not really compare to the steak we had so having them side by side made it kind of underwhelming. The mushrooms were good but kind of small for the price compared to the others. 7.5/10

Shoyu eggplant: eggplant was plump and tasty with a definite soy sauce taste. Kind of verged on the salty side but considering shoyu was in the name it definitely delivered on that front. 8/10

Shrimp toast: fried Japanese milk bread with shrimp and a tangy sauce and salad on top. Great crunch and flavorful shrimp but again the sauce was verging on overly salty. That said, we all did enjoy this dish and would order it again. 8.5/10

Fresh caught fish with crispy skin over rice with consumme: this dish was the only dish that was not overly salty and I thought was delicious, well balanced and had nice delicate flavors. My one nitpick was the skin did not come out crispy as advertised. 8/10

Scallops: Three scallops served over a cream sauce with rice cakes and salmon eggs. The scallops and sauce were the star and very tasty on its own, however, when eaten with the ikura, again it followed the trend of overly salty so I kind of avoided it. The rice cakes were kind of just there and was surprisingly bland considering the aforementioned saltiness. Overall, while the scallops and sauce were nice, the dish was a little underwhelming for the high price and small amounts of scallops ($16 per scallop). 7/10

In summary, most dishes had high and lows, but with the great service and views this place still offers a lot of value, I just think it has some kinks to work out.”

“Delicious with an amazing view! If you can score reservations just before sunset it’s magnificent to watch. The wine pairing option was the way to go!”

“Went today and enjoyed their happy hour food and margaritas:)”

“2ppl menu choice/loads to eat/ice cream was just the right dessert/ Server was awesome help”

“This is the best place I’ve ever eaten in my life! The service was impeccable. The sprite was very spicy and appetizing during a hot summer day. It was finger licking good! The food was hot and ready. Spicy goodness, like a boss! Will come again for sure.”

“Wet N Wild staff members get half 1/2 off tickets when purchased in advance which i really appreciated!!!! Gave my family's visit a breathtaking memory that will never be forgotten.”

“I love this place! The negri & roll options are pretty straightforward. The beauty is the price!! Their kitchen is quality and the price is as much a value as the kitchen. Dine in or out; you'll get quality fish. I'm proud to suggest this dining establishment”

“found this little gem and so glad I did! Poke is soo good and fresh with lots of topping options. When in KoOlina you must stop in for some Poke.”

“This is the second time I have ordered a cake from them and it will not be my last . The cake turned out exactly how I wanted it and it was delicious! I highly recommend them .”

“So happy that you're open...awesome food..husband tried it for the 1st time today...he said hands down the best... Love the tacos♥️👍 We'll be back 😎”

“Warm and friendly staff with tasty food, a perfect combo!”

“Tiny but mighty for sure!! You know it's amazing when the menu covers the wall!! Local specialties like the Loco Moco and Mac nut waffle are a must try!! The portions are huge! Definitely shareable. Upgrade your dish with their fried rice!! The malasada pancakes were quite popular, but i chose the waffle instead. There is a line and place is a hole in the wall type of restaurant, but it does go fast. The girls are excellent waitresses and they are constantly keeping the place clean which is a huge plus for me! They have nice music too. Parking is a bit hit and miss since there are other businesses in the same center, but you'll find something. They do not have a restroom. There is a shared one in the building though.”

“A quick, easy and ono grub!👌”

“Kimberly was an amazing waitress--wonderful attitude and very quick on her feet. The food was incredible as always, and the cooks are super friendly and talented.”

“I ordered a cake for my mom’s birthday today and it was amazing! It looked better than the inspo pics I shared and tasted just as amazing. Great to work with and extremely communicative. Will be ordering again when I come back! Highly recommend!”

“GREAT food, service & atmosphere. Would be 5 ⭐️ BUT. I can’t get behind business practices that charge $5 for a topping. We ordered a large pie for $30 with 3 additional toppings. Pepperoni, Jalapeños & black olives & it came out to $50 after taxes lol give me a break. I know the costs of business & sustainability. This was outright price gouging.”

“We had such an amazing time at the hotel in Ko Olina! The service there was truly exceptional, exceeding all our expectations. We're already looking forward to coming back for another visit!”

“I try to eat a bowl of ramen in every city I travel to and there is absolutely nothing I have tried in my American ramen journey that compares to the absolutely insane flavors Tanaka delivers. The most rich, full bodied and flavorful broth. Perfect texture of noods. The black garlic addition is just… ridiculously perfect. One of my favorite parts about coming back to Ko’Olina is literally Tanaka Ramen. I would face plant into a bowl of this every.day.of.my.life if I could.

Dear Tanaka, you are the ramen of my dreams.”

“This is a good restaurant. The staff was very accommodating for a large group with multiple kids. They have a robot that will drive around with appetizers on it if you order them. Food was relatively well priced and ultimately if you want to I think this is a pretty good spot.”

“Don’t forget to ask for your military discount. They have that over Starbucks and the coffee is way better. I just wish they had a drive thru and I would go everyday.”

“Food was amazing.full of locals. It’s upstairs and around a courier. Definitely worth going to.”

“Amazing burgers! It’s also nice to have a beach view and friendly service. A bit pricey but that’s Disney.”

“Favorite place to go on island for drinks. Always keeping it classy 🍻 Great prices and great selection of games to play too.”

“We went here twice for breakfast while staying at Aulani. It was a cheaper option, and the food was wonderful. The bacon jalapeno fried rice hit the spot without breaking the bank. We shared the fruit pancakes with that and were very satisfied. We walked, but there were a few parking spots.”

“My big bowl ramin was big, lots of vegets, a couple slices of pork a little overcooked almost tasteless at this point. My server was a girl she was fast, but could use some social skills to improve her tip. Water refill was on point the place was clean. The worker was fast.”

“Great food and service! I got the filet and shrimp meal, and the chicken marsala for my wife, and both were cooked and seasoned perfectly. The portions were very generous, and the small loaf of fresh warm bread was amazing. I forgot to take photos before digging in, but it was a to-go order anyway.”

“Beautiful scenery. Quick service. The food was just mid. I had the tempura mahi mahi. Huge portion but very doughy. Hubby had short ribs. Didn't like or eat. Was like a tough roast. Daughter had chicken but wasn't a fan. Positive reviews on calamari, burger and another variation of the Mahi Mahi.”

“Great place to be 👍 The mall is very nice and lots of parking too!”

“2nd to None.”

“Sub was great, love it Mikes way, staff seemed overwhelmed though with counter orders and pickup orders coming in, had to make my sub twice due to mistakes and the gentleman before me experienced the same thing.”

“Ono food made fresh at a great price!”

“Great place. Very cool and chill atmosphere. 😎 Food is very good and they have lots of specials throughout the day. The golf course is military, but the 60Fore restaurant is open to public.”

“Their food here is delicious. I've came here many times and seeing how they plate their food is amazing and neat. I recommend their bbq chicken and their sides are very tasty. I love eating their long rice, cabbage, mac salad, and creamy potatoes potatoes”

“We had a wide variety of options and all were so yummy!! Definitely worth it!”

“Best go to when in Aulani”

“The bowl was very good! Love the variety of ice-cream and fresh fruits!!”

“This is the first coffee I want to drink without creamer. It is so smooth and tasty. I just received my order so I can enjoy it every morning. ��.”

“First time here for this local resident! I've driven past this intersection for decades and have no idea when this business popped up. Great location, parking, outdoor seating (kid and dog friendly), and a solid, healthy menu. I had the vegetarian burrito with tofu, and scarfed it down before remembering to take a picture. That's how good it was. A trickier proposition when it's raining, but that's also when the flies leave the area.”

“Local fav!! Love, love, love! Must have whenever I come home”

“We got my sister's graduation party catered by mama Onos Bites and it was delicious! I highly recommend ordering from her for any sort of event or just to swing by for lunch or dinner. We will be using her for future events as well.”

“Good food and great price. Food is always consistent. Staff/owner are always delightful and helpful.”

“Food is always consistent and good! The portions are amazing! None of the other locations in Kapolei come close to the quality here! So thankful that to the folks at this location! Mahalo Nui!”

“This was a recommendation from our hotel and we came back two more times. It is a pleasant quiet neighborhood. We ate inside twice and outside once which I we preferred. My wife enjoyed the “Westside Burger” which she enjoyed. On other nights she had the excellent fish and chips and a very good pasta dish. I had some rather disappointing fish tacos but the next two nights I really enjoyed the “Bouillabaisse “! Our servers were excellent. The only disappointment was our passing up the great Bakery items on display.”

“Wow, after a long snorkel at electric beach we picked up lunch here and couldn’t have been happier! Delicious stew and tamale like pork wrapped in banana and very friendly service. The best food I’ve had on the island.👍😎🌊”

“Love this place! Drinks are always super delicious and the staff is very friendly! Sooo yummy❤”

“Jeff manages the restaurant well. He was so attentive to every table; I feel like it’s so rare to see excellent customer service like that. The waitresses were also on it and service is fast. My wonton ramen was very tasty!”

“Went there on Monday about 930a. Located in the Kapolei market place, so there's lots of free parking. There's seating area, however for me, it's more a pick and go. Very organized and clean... which i like. I purchased futomaki (a little wet but the sushi rice flavor i like), karaage squid (good flavor but not hot) and manapua (bread to meat ratio good, flavor good but meat a little hard). I would actual go here again for a quick flavor of okazuya.”

“Place is pretty good. A little cheaper version of Starbucks. It's not like the best EVER, but it's very good. I don't get the foods because it's very expensive.”

“Fresh fish, and it has so many options, so ono...”

“I just love the melting moments cookies � & the coconut cookies �!!! So yummy.”

“The food was splendid mhm mhm 10/10 would recommend. The people there are so friendly and cool looking #slayy”

“The bowl was very good! Love the variety of ice-cream and fresh fruits!!”

“We had just ate at Teriyaki Madness in Newark NJ about 2 weeks ago, so when we saw it here on our vacation we decided to stop. Food was amazing, service was awesome. We got chicken potstickers, crab rangoon and teriyaki bowls. I’m very picky about my teriyaki and this was fantastic! Highly recommend!”

“Denny’s Kapolei has friendly staff and give great service all hours of the day ! One of the few place open late and that is awesome! Prices are decent and burgers are fantastic !”

“Best food we have had on O’ahu! Wings, burgers, and pizza were amazing. Friendly staff and patrons make this place a must stop while here.”

“Went on a weekday at noon expecting it to be overcrowded but we had a great experience. The staff were great and attentive, food came out quickly and it was good. Clean facilities, friendly workers and manager, a great experience!”

“Food and service here was great. Everything tasted amazing and we didn't have to wait long for our food. Fun place to eat at even though it can get a little bit loud sometimes.”

“Food and service were great”

“Super quick service and great prices!
I ordered four burgers and dirty fries online for a 1:00 PM pickup and let them know I’d be waiting outside. The staff was incredibly nice and had everything ready so fast. Plus, my son noticed the prices went down, they are or favorite! Heck yeah! Highly recommend! 🚀”

“Friendly, cheap, and tasty. Popular with the locals—lots of regulars.”

“The Loves Kitchen makes such an awesome breakfast!! Make sure and go by- you won’t be disappointed!! Our family loves this spot! 💫💫💫”

“Thank you for your attentive and friendly service! Everyone loved the halo halo. Highly recommend for your next party!”

“Best food truck I’ve ever eaten from! I’m a western New Yorker, we cook and/or put hot sauce on everything. Not fully understanding all of the menu options, the owner, was so friendly, offered information about the types of fresh food he had and even offered us samples of the Ahi poke. Once a nay sayin skeptic, I’m now a true believer in raw fish as an amazing meal. I can’t say enough about how tasty this food was. We also had the Shrimp Tempura, Ahi Katsu and Limo Oi’o. All were absolutely some of the best food we had in over a week in Hawaii.”
