Restaurants in Pearl City

“All the food is amazing here. Quick service.”

“This place was awesome! I had some killer spicy mango and jalapeno margaritas and a couple steak tacos during happy hour. The bartenders were all great! This was my first time at a supermarket bar.”

“Best Poke on the whole Island!!!!!!! I had the Ahi Poke Nachos on the first day of our trip to Oahu. Best poke during the whole trip!”

“The yum chicken is the best chicken I've ever had in my life ! We come to Hawaii every year to visit family, and we are so glad that we came across Chicken and Brisket, it has become a staple for us to visit when we are on the island. the whole menu is amazing but the yum chicken is my personal favorite . Awesome, friendly staff and great environment. We will always eat there when we are in Hawaii. 🤙”

“Clean, Warm & Friendly Great service Amazing drinks”

“Staff here are so nice. I stopped by a late afternoon to get some FTW ahi, but they didn’t have any in the case. The worker there said they can make more 😀😀😀

My belly and I were delighted.”

“you haven’t tried Popolo Bois, you’re seriously missing out. Their rotisserie chicken is next level—tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. It’s always hot, fresh, and affordable, which is rare to find these days.

Set up outdoors right next to the park, it’s the perfect place to grab some amazing food and enjoy the weather. Need a drink or something extra? Just walk 100 feet to the 7-Eleven everything you need is right there.

No traffic, no stress, just great food and super friendly service. Whether you’re eating on the go or chilling at the park, Popolo Bois delivers every time.

Highly recommend.”

“Great food comfortable dining”

“Staff was very courteous and professional- great service and good value along with the value Overall a great place for a pretty healthy dinner”

“Spicy Ahi has been our go-to Friday dinner spot for many years, and for good reason! Their ingredients are always fresh and high quality, making every meal consistently delicious. What truly sets them apart is their careful attention to takeout packaging—everything is packed thoughtfully to ensure the food stays fresh and intact by the time we get home. Whether dining in or taking out, Spicy Ahi never disappoints. Highly recommend!”

“Favorite spot to get lunch for work! Can get pretty busy and family owned so output times can vary. Have to stand on the side and wait for your food, but it is delicious and worth it!”

“Teishoku and the combination plates, fills you up at affordable prices.”

“Best place for froyo on Oahu! We've tried yogurtland, menchies, yogurt Island, etc but this place had the creamiest by far.”

“I LOVE THEIR CURRY STEW, HOT SPICY AND SO GOOD! YOU GET LOTS OF MEAT POTATOES AND CARROTS. REMINDS ME OF THE OLD ALAMOANA FOOD WAGON. THAT HAD LINES EVERYDAY, THIRTY YEARS AGO. I WAS SO HAPPY TO FIND THIS PLACE!”

“This place is great.
Multiple visits, neither me nor my wife have been disappointed.

If any negatives... Getting in the parking is a little steep, but you should still try it out.”

“Super friendly and helpful service! The team here goes above and beyond, both over the phone and in person. We usually visit the University location, but the level of customer service at this location truly stands out. Everyone seems genuinely happy to be working, and their positive energy makes you feel great about supporting them. Exceptional service that deserves 10 stars—keep up the amazing work!”

“Awesome time tonight at Uncle Troy's. The service was great, good fun singing, and food was ono. We will be back. Thank you Troy, Priscilla, et al...”

“Loved the atmosphere, the music and the food! I had the spicy ahi and it was delicious! It didn’t even feel like I was sitting 10 minutes from home. Definitely will be back!”

“I ordered the 2 choice bento with spicy ahi and teriyaki chicken. I didn’t take a picture because I forgot and ate the whole plate realizing I should have took the picture because it was AMAZING!!! There’s a sweet lady that works here, she seems like she loves what she does because of her smile! Definitely coming back(:”

“1/31/2024. The meal and service was great! Kudos to the students preparing the meal and the students providing the service. Can't wait for the student created menu. Thank you for being here in Pearl City.”

“I like it a lot but I miss DQ/Orange Julius in the food court”

“This hidden gem is an absolute must go to! Much kudos to Brian & Sammy for creating such an amazing menu. The food was so delicious that we ordered so much just so we could try as much things as possible 😋 generous portions, quality foods…definitely looking forward to our next visit 🥰”

“i got the tonkatsu ramen, the broth was so good, noodles were great, and i just love bamboo shoots. the staff was so sweet and the service was great. the price point is also fair. i really like this place and i’ll for sure be back.”

“Great late night eats! Menu is posted on their Instagram every night, closed Mondays. Local/Filipino place lunch style. Park on the side of the road that Miki's is located.”

“Japanese style gyudon beef bowls in Pearl City. Located on Kuala Street next door to Starbucks in the strip mall that has Sams Club Gas and Walmart.

These guys used to be in the old Shirokiya back in the day. A bit pricey compared to beef bowls in Japan but were in Hawaii so live a little🤙They also opened another location in Kalihi but this one is easier to get to in terms of parking.

Go to is the Beef Ontama bowl or the Beef Bowl with Takoyaki. Filling and gets my gyudon fix👍They have the shichimi spice and the red ginger (kisami shoga) at the condiment table by the pick up window too.

Military and student discount available along with stamp cards too. 4 stars.”

“Liliha Bakery in Pearl City is good! We came here a few times and the interior is large with lots of seating, BUT they fill up! Be prepared for a wait! I think the buttered rolls are so delicious! I tried their kimchi fried rice and it was really sweet. I’m Korean-American, and it was truly too sweet for Me. Their Loco moco is delicious! A random thing that I loved was their ranch 🤣 It turns out thier salad uses a homemade ranch that they now sell in store! I love how the bakery side has a huge selection and such beautiful cookie designs as well!

I know this is a famous restaurant with a loved history on Island. I respect and honor the impact this spot has has and will try my best to give it the love it deserves!”

“Awesome zippys team. One of my go to locations for some ono grinds🤙”

“zippy's tasty food and very clean dining area”

“the drinks here are amazing”

“We booked Sama Sama for our May 2025 wedding, and cannot say enough amazing things about their business! I had an unexpected issue come up with our initial late night snack vendor, and panicked trying to find another backup option. Thankfully, Sama Sama was quick to come to our rescue and accommodate a boba station and spam musubi for 75 guests. We selected two boba flavors, the Original Milk Tea and Calamansi Green tea, which were both delicious! The Calamansi Green Tea runs a bit on the sweeter side, but I'm sure you could ask for less sweetness if you prefer.

They had unbeatable pricing that included delivery, setup, and breakdown for our venue on the North Shore. So many guests were raving about this, and said the spam musubis were a perfect snack addition for those that drank a lot at the end of the night.

I would absolutely recommend Sama Sama for any catering/events, or even just stopping by to enjoy their full menu at their storefront! I can't wait to come back and try some of their other flavors!”

“Dude I know it’s only anecdotal evidence but I was feeling a little run down yesterday like I was getting sick, I remembered the antioxidants in the green tea so I took one at about 6pm and I woke up feeling 100% (it tasted great by the way)”

“Located in the H Mart food court. This is a nice little eatery whether you want some dumplings, kimchi fried rice or a Korean style ramen. I suggest stopping in at lunch time it seems to rarely be crowded. The service was pleasant and helpful. The food was made with care and quality ingredients. The atmosphere, well you're in a grocery store food court, the word ambiance doesn't really apply.

Stop by and have some lunch, there are a few eateries in here and a small bar. So there is something for everyone.”

“Always good customer service, professional and they get my order correct.”

“This is in a nice hidden small food court in H-Mart. The pastries were great, well made and flavorful. The coffee was far superior to Starbucks. This is my new favorite coffee shop. If you're looking for a great cup of joe, this is the place.

Be warned the coffee selection is limited but the flavor is great. I would recommend the Einspanner.”

“Mellow spot underground (if you can’t find it using Google Maps) with $3 Coors Light bottles. Locals, lots of TVs. They feed the cemetery cats and give them water which I like. Friendly people all around. Looks like it would be a fun spot to do karaoke.”

“I like it a lot but I miss DQ/Orange Julius in the food court”

“If you're a fried chicken lover, definitely a must! I always order the original bonus fried Chicken. It's super crispy and stays crispy even when I have to do take out. Do yourself a favor and stop in and enjoy.”

“$2.50 Kirin draft pints...yes please. Can't go wrong at that price. Stopped by here for a couple beers and headed out. You want a cheap beer or 2, bring $5 and some change and sit in AC and have a cold beer.”

“I'm surprised by the negative reviews. I've been eating here often since I moved nearby. The portions are big—$10 for a mini chicken BBQ plate is a great deal. Friendly staff and usually fast service. I recommend it!

Kid-friendliness: Yed

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes”

“Food is delicious as always. The disappointment was that I couldn’t use their app to get rewards OR to use rewards… I can understand it if it’s just not a thing at this location, BUT they are advertising the Rewards program on their windows… and yet they “don’t have a scanner” to scan the codes…”

“There was this real nice aunty who works none stop here and she is the best worker ive ever had the pleasure of interacting with ! Sadly I dont know her name but she most definitely deserves a raise !”

“Dinner for 13 to celebrate my 70th birthday was awesome and the waiters and waitresses was eager to serve. The prime rib was superekrb mmm yummy delicious.Thank you for asking!!🙄😳”

“perfect for any season and any occasion”

“They were temporarily closed, but now they’re back with new ownership and an exciting reopening! The menu is easier to navigate, with tons of new original drinks and even more yakiniku options. Definitely worth checking out for the fresh updates!”

“Went here because they serve roast duck, roast pork , oyster sauce chicken and cake noodles. Ordered the oyster sauce chicken over cake noodles and sie yuk Chinese roast pork. I was not disappointed. Good portions. Good taste. Fast and friendly service. This place has been here since the 20th century. A mainstay of pearl highlands.”

“Thursday enchiladas are the best. All food is great”

“If you need to plug in your computer or phone don’t come here. They covered up all the plugs.”
