Restaurants in Pearl City

“My favorite location! Although I use the self-service option to order, the workers are very kind and friendly, always offering utensils, napkins, a bag, etc. They greet us when we enter and as we leave, and of course the cookies are always as they should be… delicious!”

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

“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!”

“Locals rave about this place! It's a bit hidden in a small shopping center toward the back! Cannot see it from the main road. Everything tastes fresh. Poke is very good but plate lunches are very pricey.”

“Chilling with my niece and nephew in the center of a supermarket sipping on a glass of red wine and eating some really delicious pupu’s from Pau Hana Bar located inside Foodland Farms Pearl City.

Everything we eat here has a local touch to it but the highlight for us is always the Sizzling Ribeye Steak with Onions and Mushrooms served with a Butter Kabayaki Sauce. It was fire!

We also had the Pan Fried Ahi Belly Chinese Style, Ika Karaage, Gojuchang Fried Chicken Wings, Ahi Poke, Shishito Peppers, Furikake Salmon Salad and the Fried Rice.

Love the vibe and atmosphere here and the service is always top notch. I love how they all work together and there is always somewhere within reach if you need anything.”

“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!”

“My friend host her husband birthday party today. I've been here 3 other times. Today take top prize on service and foods. The foods was soooo flavorful. From the variety of 4 different salads to main courses and desserts. I could not stop talking about the flavors. Everything was perfectly seasoned. Not too salty, not too sweet, not bland. Just the exact perfect balance. I don't recall even at a 5 stars restaurants with every single items being perfectly seasoned. I ate everything! Except for the almond cookies and gau. These culinary students have big potential in their future. The instructor,hats off to you!!! The beef pepper, the eggplant. Soooo delicious. Great job!”

“Heard about this place and was curious to find out for ourselves! It’s all that! Prices and service exceptional. One man show but he was able to deliver! Oh! The huli huli chicken is fire! Tasted a little hint of jerk chicken in this version! It was bomb!!!! I recommend and definitely will be back!”

“Great food comfortable dining”

“I would recommend getting that burger, it is the best burger I had in years, this burger you can tell it's homemade. I also had the Panang Curry, and the watermelon juicet hat was also ONO!!”

“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!”

“amazing shave ice!!!! Best owner!”

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

“I will always visit Sadies's when visiting the island 🥰🥰”

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

“The best way to fix a bad day🥰 Strawberry slush with Lychee yogurt 🥰 Definitely recommend 👍🏼👍🏼”

“Ive been to a couple of other locations and THIS one is by far the liveliest. Its tremendously busy but for good reason. I always make it a point to visit to eat and whenever I have to take a plane back home (where everything is overpriced and limited) we always stop by on our way to the airport.
If you've been to a Liliha, you'll understand. If you've never been, you need to experience it.”

“Last night's Waikiki Block Party was packed and I ordered from this restaurant: lemongrass fried chicken and pad Thai (combo B) and the food was amazing! The lemongrass fried chicken was cooked to perfection; crispy, light batter, and juicy. The pad Thai was not dry an clumpy like other food stalls, but it was a little cold from being out. Otherwise, a very good takeout meal. I can only imagine what the restaurant experience is like.”

“I was told that the owners of Miki’s opened this business to serve food for all the people working graveyard shift or finished work late.

With that being said, this place has the best food anywhere in this time frame 12am - 3am. Miki’s is an amazing change of food choices for late at night.

-The plates are cheaper with big servings compared to other places.
-Lines get long but the wait time after ordering is never past 10 minutes.
-Parking is fun because it’s either on the curb or the side of the street.

People reviewing this place needs to realize this hole-in-the-wall food business is meant for people like me. Those who work late into the night, that’s my demographic. If you’re comparing this place to Zippys or anything like that, then go there shut up. This place makes all their food with love, that beats anything opened after hours to me, no 7/11, McDonald’s, no fast food place can compete that.”

“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!”

“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!”

“Absolutely love the food here 😎”

“Surprisingly really good and hot chicken fingers. They were pretty big and juicy. Best fast food chicken fingers that I've ever had. The service was excellent and the food came out fast. The fries should've been hotter but all in all worth the $13 for a 4 piece meal.”

“03/02/2026
After my dual procedure a few doors down at the Pacific Endoscopy Center, I knew I’d be super hungry afterwards so my husband picked up a Beef Donburi Bowl for me to take home. I really really enjoyed it. It hit the spot for me. Good portion of very tasty, soft and chewy beef, full of good flavor on a mound of well cooked rice. Few slivers of onions on top. He knows I don’t care for shoga (ginger) so he didn’t bother getting any but it is available if you want. Will definitely be back.”

“🤩I love Pizza Press, they play cool tunes and take care of the food and drinks! Relaxing and fun atmosphere! Try Wednesday nights paint party night!”

“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...”

“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 🥰”

“Bought Oreo, Milk Berry and Tiramisu cakes. Super fluffy and light however, it seemed like someone forgot to add the right amount of sugar as these things were extremely lacking in flavor.”

“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(:”

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

“the drinks here are amazing”

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

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

“Had a really nice, first-time experience here recently. Big menu, something for everyone in your party. Service was quick. Drinks were refilled in a timely manner. The food was out about five minutes after ordering. Their regular entrees (saimins, curries, etc) are large portions. Honestly enough to share! Had leftovers at home and it was just as tasty as in the restaurant. 10/10!”

“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)”

“Crispy outside and tender inside. My kids loved their wings. We ordered plain and asked for sweet and spicy sauce on the side. Sauce was yum and plenty. Five stars.”

“Ming's Canton never disappoint. The portion is very generous at a reasonable price. They must be doing something right since they've been around for a while. One of the original ar Pearl Highlands.”

“perfect for any season and any occasion”

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

“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.”

“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!”

“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”

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

“I was rushing home from work and I was able to receive my order in a timely manner and best yet the customer service wasn't one to forget. I'm surely going to come back to Popeyes.”

“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!!🙄😳”

“The best Subway I’ve been to in a long time! The staff was incredibly friendly and made my sandwich perfectly and neatly. The veggies were super fresh, the bread was warm, and the store was spotless. Good ambience and I will definitely be coming back here!”

“This is the 1st time here and tried the bulgogi salad. The portion and price was good but most importantly the taste was excellent. It left me feeling satisfied without feeling bloated. The sauce was good and liked the apple slices to give it some sweetness.
Definitely will come back again🤙😍”
