“The Food Company is amazing in that it offers an expansive menu, PLUS the best service and kindness in working with special current food restrictions. The food for our recent party with guests from our islands, plus mainland cities and Australia, called for varied tastes. The Food Company offered perfect selections, getting raves!! Everything was delicious. Fair prices and excellent value!!“

“The restaurant is somewhat small and very rustic, perhaps a bit more rustic than I anticipated.
Five of us for dinner and everyone was completely satisfied and very happy with their dinners. They even had specialty soft drinks for the kids.
I have never been a fan of smoked meats but I did have the smoked prime rib based on the reviews. It was amazing! Juicy, flavorful and tender. My son had the rack of lamb for the first time. He was also very happy with his choice.
Our service was easily as good as the food. Our server was always available, attentive and very pleasant.“

“Food is absolutely delicious!... Anyday, any special“

“Great place. I stop in most days. Very friendly employees that remember you. When I have large orders for work, they get it done pretty fast too! :)“

“This is, hands down, the best restaurant in Hawaii. My wife and I first came here two years ago right after I proposed—it also happened to be her birthday—and we’ve made it our annual tradition to return for her birthday ever since.

​It never disappoints. The Ahi Cigar is a mandatory starter, and the Grilled Romaine is a total sleeper hit—a very pleasant surprise. If you’re a fan of rich flavors, the Bone Marrow is absolutely delicious. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but it’s the consistent quality and memories that keep us coming back every year“

“Fun time at the club. More people (50+) than I thought would be there. Everyone was having a good time and enjoying karaoke night. The service was excellent! Typical bar food, but it was good. Overall my wife and I had a good time. As a retiree it was fun to be around active duty members again. Stay safe Marines!“

“The space is really good. The food was really good in my taste. I wish they had some toddler type foods but then again you're paying by event. They usually accommodate to the party. The people are friendly to work with. I love that Samoan lady who helped us ??“

“We celebrated a big anniversary at Pai and WOW - they made it extra special. We did the four course menu with wine pairings. The service was top notch. The food was inspired, creative, delicious, and locally sourced. Though the portions of each dish looked small, it was more than enough food and so delicious you wanted to eat every bite! The wine pairings were spot on, absolutely perfect with our chosen courses. The space has such a lovely vibe - clean and modern, but comfortable and well appointed. There really isn't another dining experience quite like this on the island. Justine and Kevin have created such a beautiful place with incredible food and service. Pai is definitely a must-try restaurant. We will definitely be back.“

“The taste of the food was so amazing and the service was outstanding. The price for what we ordered was so so so low! I could not believe it when I received the check! Hawaiian pancakes are a must!“

“So good! Driving up to the North Shore from the airport we wanted something local. Family owned. No frills just awesome chicken. So juicy. We all had sandwiches and the pulled chicken is more like chunks with some pulled. Not overly shredded. And not doused with sauce. Just a nice enhancement. We had the melts and they were delicious. The bread is crusty but soft inside. An easy bite. And my son loved his Cajun fries. Off street parking in the rear.“

“Great food and service Felix is the best. Best food ive had in Hawaii and the portions are huge“

“Long time since I visited this place… I missed their Mix Plate with salads! It was a bit after lunch time, so I didn’t wait for long to be served. My mixed plate was chicken katsu and mochiko chicken. My friend got beef cutlet and roast pork Mixed Plate. Both is us thoroughly enjoyed our lunch plate! Asian salad was just right flavor with sesame oil and fried wanton. A little extra was chow fun under the meat. And the price was really reasonable here!! ($15 each). Parking lot is just next to the restaurant, very convenient. It was really satisfied day for me.“

“everything was delicious and very friendly staff!“

“Fresh seafood prepared how you like it! Delicious and a must if you are in Maui. I had the Ono in white wine,garlic and butter. Served over Cajun rice. The portions are very generous.“

“Delicous, made to order, Vegan meals. Quiet location with a vast menu. Server very polite, suggesting food items while explaining others.

Broccoli, Tofu, Sicilian Chicken Pasta, Lemongrass Tofu, Strawberry Smoothie, Avocado/Banana Smoothie. Everything was flavorful, walked away full. The parking lot is small, however there is parking options near by.“

“Came here after the luau since most places don't serve food after a certain time. I got the chicken sandwich and my husband got the Chicago hot dog and they were both so good. Shawn was awesome, he made good drinks and he showed us some certain places to go around town. Also they have some free arcade games that you can play.“

“Friendly service, great food, wide variety - always hot and fresh.“

“there’s 5 palm trees at paradise palms (I counted with great difficulty) but the food is great for a quick pick up in between classes. don’t expect michelin stars here.

there’s construction to the south of this place as of writing (Oct 2025) so beware of the noise.“

“It was an unexpected surprise. Not fancy, but a nice casual atmosphere to grab a quick bite to eat. Have passed it many times not realizing what we were missing. Have tried a few times in the last year but always seemed to miss when they were open. Will definitely stop in again when I am at USCGS to pick up supplies from Ability 1.“

“The people, staff, ambiance, especially the food are great, bar none. pool table, dart board league standards. If singing your thing then great karaoke system. Stop by and say hello:)“

“Great place to relax, have a cocktail and enjoy a cigar. They have a decent selection of cigars or bring your own. Good selection of liquor and beers. They had live music, they were real good. Bartenders were friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Highly recommend.“

“I’ve been twice and I really love the Pretzels. I usually get cinnamon bites and I was kind of sus about the way they made it because it didn’t look like the cinnamon sugar got on every pretzel but was so surprised when I ate them all and they all had cinnamon flavor on it. It’s super yummy and the people that rung me up have been super kind. Really love it!!“

“Absolutely love their ahi tombo sandwich with sweet potato fries. It's so yummy!!“

“Romantic , food was ok ! Butterfish was amazing but the garlic shrimp was only three pieces of shrimp on doughy cheese balls I expected more shrimp or veggies ! Noise in the afternoon not bad ! Presentation good Would have to try more of the menu but will never order the shrimp again“

“Big City Diner is a great spot for a satisfying breakfast with a relaxed atmosphere. The food is quite good, offering a variety of classic morning dishes that are tasty and well-prepared. Everything feels fresh, and the ingredients seem carefully chosen to start the day right. I also appreciated how clean the restaurant is—tables, floors, and even the counters are spotless, which makes the dining experience pleasant and comfortable.

Service is another highlight. The staff is friendly and efficient, taking orders promptly and serving dishes quickly, so you never feel like you’re waiting too long. Despite being a popular place, the team keeps everything running smoothly.

The space itself is bright and airy, with plenty of natural light and good ventilation, creating a welcoming and open environment. Overall, Big City Diner delivers a solid breakfast experience with good food, quick service, and a clean, spacious setting.“

“Keneke’s was a good stop for a casual meal. I forgot to take pictures of the food, but everything we ordered was tasty and the portions were really generous. It’s a nice spot with a great view of the mountains, and the prices felt very reasonable. The only downside was that it took forever to get our food, so don’t come if you’re in a rush. Overall, still a solid local place and I’d try it again.“

“OK, we are from Phoenix Arizona and we stopped at a local Golf Course Olomano to check in for Times to go play golf this week since we’re only here seven days, guy at the front desk about best place to watch the football game which was on tonight the Chick-fil-A peach bowl and and we happened on this place and it has the most amazing food and the atmosphere is ridiculously fun for a small place, super loud super fun and very good people. Service is slow but they bust their butt, be patient, you only live once!! Kiki❤️ made it fantastic, she even took a call for us!! Ask for extra pork on the Nachos, can’t miss!!“

“Aside from great food, Shar who helo us makes this dinner special to celebrate our wedding anniversary and hubby's birthday. Her friendly attitude and helped us to enjoy our food.“
