Hawaiian Restaurants near Laie, HI

“Although for now there is only takeout service, it is worth it. The portions are large, we ordered a "mini" lococo and the hungry hawaiian, more than enough to share between 2, the taste of the food was outstanding. The coffee is also very good. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The overall quality exceeds the cost. It seems like a must-see place on the North Shore.“

“I went to get an ice cream the other day. Service was great and prompt. I got one scoop of mint ice cream and it was a pretty big scoop which was surprising in a good way. The only thing that I didn’t really like was the fact that I couldn’t see what the flavors were any where and I had to ask. It would be nice to be able to see the flavors without asking. It was also kind of inconvenient to get to because of construction but that isn’t the snack bars fault. Other than that no complaints and would definitely recommend!“

“Nice service, great food, reasonable price. The setting is in a shopping center by the parking lot. You can pay by card. Even according to the locals, it could be seen that it is a popular establishment, where mainly students from the nearby university and families go. I was satisfied with the food“

“Nice local comfort food. Take your appetite with you, plenty good grinds!“

“The mushroom and Swiss burger was the absolute best burger I've ever had and the fries are exceptional and crispy and seasoned well!!! The service was top notch, and the restaurant was decorated beautifully. Prices are reasonable!! Definitely on my list to do over and over again!!!!“

“We adore this spot and can’t wait to make it back. The staff is incredibly kind, the food is phenomenal, and the portions are huge for the price. There are tables outside to sit and eat, and it’s just a wonderful, cozy, low-fuss spot to enjoy breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

I can’t begin to tell you how many times I dream of getting back to Oahu JUST for Kaya’s. Easily one of our favorite spots on the island!“

“Enjoyed a fantastic evening at Toa Luau!! Very informative and fun; beautiful dancing; loved the whole atmosphere!! I can’t recommend it more highly!!“

“Great local place! You know it's gonna be good when it's mostly locals there that the owners know.

Our favorite dish from there were the peanut butter buns. This cannot be missed! If you like peanut butter - please don't leave workout trying it from here. Gooey delicious and divine.

The garlic shrimp were yummy. Loco moco was above average. Kalbi beef was great.“

“The drinks are a little strong, definitely not complaining, had the beef sliders and they were delicious. This is definitely a five-star establishment and a fun place to hang by the beach. The atmosphere is lively and charming with live entertainment. Bring your wallet and live your best life.“

“Cute, casual, open-air place with shaded seating. Friendly, easygoing atmosphere. Shave ice is a bowl of loosely flaked ice with sweet flavored syrup, eaten with a spoon and straw. Refreshing on a hot day. Our vegan family got "ice only" fruit flavors, hence vegan ($4 a bowl). I enjoyed my combo pineapple and li hing (salted dried plum) shave ice. Vegetarians and omnivores can gild the lily by adding (dairy) ice cream and topping ($7 a bowl I think). I was tempted to get some fresh tropical fruit, also for sale, but skipped it. We saw other folks getting cut coconuts and pineapples with straws to drink the juice. Mango and other local sliced fruit was also available. A half dozen souvenir shops are in the same little parking area. The most upscale was the sea glass art shop, with works by local artists. Other shops sell tshirts, swim wear, jewelry, etc. Updated from previous review on 2022-12-28“

“The poke nachos are absolutely amazing.“

“When visiting the North Shore of Oahu HI, you have to try this place out. Malvinas ribs and garlic shrimp are da BEST!!!!!“

“Stopped in for a quick bite and was pleasantly surprised at how delicious the food was! Cannot wait to return! 10/10“

“Driven by this place dozens of times, but it looked so touristy - big bus tours stopping, shells in the window, etc. - never stopped. Obviously finally did and the chicken was excellent, as was the mac salad and huli huli sauce. Grabbed it to go and ate at a beach up the road. So good forgot to take pics until it was demolished!“

“Stopped by Aloha Shrimp and it did not disappoint! The lady working there was so sweet, and the food was absolutely delicious. We tried the spicy garlic shrimp, and it was incredible. The next day, we checked out Giovanni's Shrimp Truck because of all the hype, but honestly, Aloha Shrimp was way better!“

“I’ve been in Hawaii for a week. It’s by far the best place we’ve had. We’re staying in Waikiki and drove all the way back to the North Shore today to get it again it’s that good! And try the musubi it’s homemade“

“Hands down best food we had on Oahu. Fresh, beautiful, balanced flavors and unique menu options. We’ll be back for sure!“

“Cool place to sit and eat especially after catching the sunset at Shark's Cove across the street. Wake up this special of the day which was Marlin tacos, the fish was a touch overdone but not too bad. The sauce they put on top really set off the taco“

“We had a tour guide take us around the Island. We wanted to go to an authentic place to eat, not fancy touristy restaurants. He recommended 2 places, (I won't say the other one on this review, but it was also excellent!) He brought us to Coral Kingdom for the Huli Huli Chicken. It was so flavorful, juicy and delicious! We loved the relaxed atmosphere and good food. After we ate, we went shopping and got some cute souvenirs. I'm so glad we didn't miss this spot.“

“Nice selection of swimsuits and great customer service. Their bikinis are better quality and offer more support for larger-chested women than the San Lorenzo store. The Cove also has nice jewelry and home goods. Beware that Google Maps may take you to the wrong place, so it's a good idea to input an address for the taco truck next door.“

“Staying at the turtle bay resort for our honeymoon and have been trying all the restaurants. Came here for drinks and a beautiful sunset! The service was friendly and very good. My husband got a lava flow with a rum float on top. We enjoyed drinks from the same bar all day at the pool. We went back for dinner the next night. We went around 7:30 and it wasn’t too busy. We actually took out food to go as we had a long day. The bar tender was very friendly and our food came extremely quick! I ordered the mahi mahi fish tacos from the small plates menu and my husband had the double smash burger with fries. I didn’t get a picture of the burger cause my husband devoured it- he loved it ! The tacos come with 2 and a third can be added for $10, but two was enough for me. Doesn’t come with a side. The fish is delicious ! Highly recommend for food and or drinks and great beach views!“

“Pretty low key, great history, decent prices, stunning flora.“

“Wow! On the last night of our 10 day vacation we happened to stumble across this gem. The ambiance is unbeatable. The ocean is your view, the tiki torches and lighting create a lovely space. Every single item we had was absolutely delicious. Each had their own flavor profile yet all worked well together. The staff was friendly and attentive, and we heard the owner is a guy who’s, “passionate about food and the first one in and the last one to leave each day.” Well Sir, your passion and dedication came through our meal tonight.

Next time we’re on the island we will be back again!

Vegetarian options: The grilled vegetables were amazing my! We also sampled the fried tofu and that was great as well. Some in our party are big meat eaters and they loved the vegetables.“

“This food truck lived up to it's great reputation. Simple ordering and grabbing plates through the window. cash only. the garlic shrimp was delicious and gluten free. The spicy shrimp was not overpowering for me. covered picnic tables and a few other vendors nearby. overall, simple and grand.“

“Stopped for the 2 quarter pounder burger special (which was AMAZING) and decided to try the garlic fries. They were so delicious! Made sure we let aunty know how fantastic the food was. 10/10 recommend and will be going back!“
