“Outside table for one at lunch time. Korean barbecue chicken sandwich. Excellent, delicious and messie to eat. I would order again.“

“We were fortunate to grab seats at the bar before a show at the Blaisdell. Beautiful atmosphere, very attentive server/bartender (Kalei), amazing food options and lovely hand mixed cocktails. We were pleasantly surprised and will return!“

“Food is fresh healthy & onolicious👍🏻👍🏻 The brisket musubi & brisket Katsu bomb👍🏻👍🏻“

“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! :)“

“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!“

“We ordered multiple dishes, started with zucchini tots, and had smoked ahi cigars, scallops, bone marrow, etc. All taste just right. Not plain at all. It is balanced and cooked thoroughly. The cocktails are really good, too. They must have great bartenders. The Freddie, the 007, and Dressed for success. Try.
We didn't try any large dishes, so no comments on that.
Glad to find a favorite restaurant. The servers are informative and nice, too.
We had a really good time. Very Satisfied.“

“Cozy atmosphere and welcoming vibe. The food is top notch and the service is amazing. A must stop if you like enjoy eating ono food with local flair.“

“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 ??“

“First time here. Was delicious and surprised me that a good breakfast was right here at Windward Mall Ruby Tuesday. I had the deconstructed Loco Moco. The hamburger patty was spot on. Go try it out. Ask for Brandon. Unless you goin complain then ask for Nick.“

“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.“

“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!“

“We visited Easyque recently and I’ve been craving the food ever since!! Absolutely everything was delicious! 😋 😍“

“Best place to eat in Kāneʻohe Food is great. Service is fast and friendly Served with aloha Lots of parking Live music on Sat. & Sun mornings.“

“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“

“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!“

“Best Pork Sando I’ve ever had! So juicy, tender, and tasty. I tried also their pineapple beer, it was a great combination 👌🏼
Btw, the picture can’t describe how big this thing was! I was so full after.“

“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.“

“We've been using Hawaii Coworking/Anytime Mailbox for 1.5 years. Excellent service. Easily accessible location. Lahaina is exceptionally service oriented and a great communicator. I had an Anytime Mailbox at a previous location in California...there is no comparison! Hawaii Coworking and Lahaina on Hobron Lane definitely much, much better! I wholeheartedly recommend Hawaii Coworking!“

“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.“

“We stop by here about once a month. The owner/bartender (Eddie) is the main reason he has such a following. The bartop is usually full on a weekend, but there are plenty of seats and tables in the dining area. Bar food favorites include the deep fried pork belly, wings & fries, tots, maxwell polish dog. Their homeade hot sauce is amazing. Drink prices are reasonable. Bottles & cans only. No drafts. Great bourbon & whiskey selection. Street parking is a bit of a challenge. However, there are several city municipal parking lots nearby for about $3-5 for a 4-5 hour stay.“

“everything was delicious and very friendly staff!“

“A date of mine is vegan and recommend we try this place and off we went. While parking is a pain I understand it given the lack of space in town but if the you don't miss the lot and it's not packed it's not bad but if it's either of the former and especially the latter it's gonna be a pain especially without backup cameras and sensors. Overall the food made up for it. Despite the hole in the wall vibe I got it his place had quite an expansive menu and I loved the variety in genres of food on offer. We ended up splitting everything which was: gyoza, puttanesca pasta, and chicken pesto masala. All of which tasted amazing with good texture and seasoning which is what I think is needed in a place especially with no meat on the menu. Everything came out fast, was big and made us quite content. Where I have a slight problem with is the pricing. The entrees were each $21 bucks and while heaping I do wish it was at least 17-19 instead those couple bucks make a difference over time. Though I'd definitely give this place a go moving forward to try out the rest of the menu. Places like this make me hopeful more people will give the diet a good go as it haves much more benefits than just the environment!“

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

“Hawaiian seafood restaurant“

“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.“

“Mine and wife's first time there. We are visiting from Arizona. The staff as well as the regulars there all treated us great. The service was great, and food was incredible.“

“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:)“

“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!!“

“love the people and the food good people+good food= Happy people!“

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

“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.“

“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“

“After spending the morning at Kaiona Beach Park with my cat, Laki, we stopped by Keneke’s for lunch and had such a wonderful experience. The outdoor seating area felt very pet-friendly, and everyone was incredibly warm and welcoming 🐾

I ordered the Coconut Shrimp lunch special, and it was honestly some of the best coconut shrimp I’ve had on Oʻahu. The shrimp were incredibly crispy, packed with real coconut flavor, and clearly made fresh to order. It took a little longer to prepare, but it was absolutely worth the wait.

The lunch special came with rice, macaroni salad, and a drink for only $13.60, which feels almost unbelievable compared to Waikiki prices these days. The portions were huge!! I ended up taking leftovers home and still had food left in my fridge later that day.

The cashier was especially friendly and welcoming. You can tell this is a place loved by locals, but it also feels comfortable and inviting for first-time visitors.

When we arrived, we were lucky and there was no line. By the time we finished ordering, a crowd had formed behind us, which says a lot about how popular this place is. If you’re visiting around lunchtime, be prepared for a wait, but the food is definitely worth it 🥰😸

We’ll absolutely be back. Mahalo! 🌺

“Got the kimchee fried rice loco moco and banana bread pudding ala mode, both were so delicious. Staff is friendly especially Kristy, she provided the best service! She makes the best cocktails and shots!! Definitely would come back especially if I have kristy as a server again!“

“We're so glad we found this place! I wanted to explore a new part of the island, so we headed down to Kailua. We decided to stop here for lunch not expecting the experience nor the delicious food. My husband got their burger - 10/10 flavor, size, and prepared to perfection. Our son got the quesadilla - 10/10 lots of dipping options. I got the French Dip - 10/10 flavor, amount of meat, and that AuJus DELICIOUS! I also had to try their French onion soup - 10/10 hands down best I've had in years. The dinning area is currently under renovation, so there's less seating. They play major sporting events over the speakers. We got to watch the Stanley one weekend and the UFC fight the next. The parking lot is small but there's street parking.“

“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.“
