Beautiful, clean and breezy outside to compliment our meal. The meat was tender, risotto flavorful and the wine selection just right. Our server Brittany came around with a cheerful energy when she anticipated ahead of time that we were going to need something. This is my fourth Kalapawai that I've eaten in and everyone of them is consistent in quality! Mahalo!

Kalapawai Cafe Kapolei is always a good too for me and my fiancé. Great food and service. Reasonable prices and good portions. Never ate anything that wasn't enjoyable. Definitely recommend!

We had a wonderful experience at Kalapawai Cafe & Deli - Kapolei! From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm, friendly, and attentive. Everyone there took great care of us throughout our visit. The food was exquisite! It was flavorful, hearty, and generously portioned. Every dish we ordered was satisfying and beautifully presented. The peaceful, quiet atmosphere (it was a Monday night) made it easy to talk, relax, and truly enjoy the meal. Our server checked in often without being intrusive, and was happy to answer any questions we had about the specials, or the menu items. While we were too full to try dessert, the options in the deli case looked amazing. I had to stop myself from buying everything as it all looked decadent and generously sized. We'll definitely be back, and next time we're saving room for dessert!

Always my go to come comfort food for lunch or dinner in Kapolei! Recommend the fresh fish and have a desert! I love the deserts and great friendly service!

We love this place and we frequent it often. This week we came once for lunch and dinner. But, this was the first time that the kitchen was very different. We usually get our food too fast but this time, we were done with our drinks when the appetizer came and then dinner took another 35-40 minutes. This is not the norm for this place and totally unacceptable. It was busy in the restaurant but we've seen it much busier many times and the food came out much faster than tonight. Rumor has it that when the head chef is not present, the kitchen workers do things on their timeline, thereby disrupting the normal dinner hour flow. I hope that management addresses this with the line cooks and lets them know that as weekly regulars we know this is not the usual. We will be back but this kind of kitchen service would most likely turn off any potential first time customers.

We love Kalapawai! Always the best dishes with the most unique delicious flavors. Really enjoyed this night's special (NY Steak with Gorgonzola sauce and bacon cheese risotto). Definitely wish it was a normal menu item.
Tracy
Literally one of our best meals during our stay at Ko'Olina. Half our party was sick and had to take out half of the food. We haven't been in awhile and is back on our list of have to go for dinner when we are out there.
Carolyn
Food is very fresh and excellent. Server very good and efficient. I have food allergies and they were considerate. Separate gluten free menu available too!

Seated outside as requested. Service was prompt. Dinner menu offerings were plentiful. Food quality was fantastic, plate presentation was appetizing and tasteful. Great place for reasonable priced meal with excellent food options.
Brian
Outstanding food. Wide selection serving varying tastes. We had the Hummus and Pita plate, Duck Confit, Fish Tacos and side risotto. Not a single dish disappointed. Prices were reasonable. Service was on point. While the food was of gourmet quality you would expect that it would be served in a quiet, elegant environment. Not so. The room was industrial, cool and noisey from poor accoustical design. Takeout is always an option.
Fay
Love the seafood pan roast and the drinks also. But everything I've had here is really great.
