Hawaiian Restaurants near Pearl City, HI

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

“AMAZING POKE!!! Wow! The wonton nachos chips they make in house and the spicy mayo and other dips are homemade. It was so delicious from start to finish. We ordered nachos and the salmon plate and it did NOT dissappoint. We will certainly be coming back here as often as we can. The staff was all super friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and intentional. If you haven't tried the poke here...you are missing out!!! Thanks and see you soon!!“

“This place is amazing! We pulled up and thought it was just a grocery store. Turns out it’s an amazing bar, great food, and awesome staff! Ryan, Hassan, Mary, Thomas, and Jae were all great! The fresh “Chef’s Poke Creation” is to die for, as are the drinks.

Highly recommend! Never thought a grocery store would have one of the best bars in the area, but it’s true!“

“I always enjoy eating at L&L Hawaiian Barbecue. Even though it’s a chain, this location consistently has great food and does a really good job with the classics.

The katsu was cooked perfectly, the breading had the ideal crisp texture while the meat inside was tender and the sauce was flavorful. I also ordered the mixed BBQ plate, and everything on it was cooked well and tasted fresh.

The woman at the counter was also very friendly and kind, which made the experience even better. Great service always makes a difference.

Out of all the locations I’ve tried, this one is definitely my favorite. The food quality is consistently good, and it’s the spot I always look forward to coming back to.“

“My friend and I flew in today and are flying out tomorrow morning. She said we need Poke! So after looking up reviews and hearing good things about Monarch ..we were on our way! A short Uber ride later we ended up in this little place with huge portions of different kinds of Poke. I am not a a spicy type eater so the poke nachos I had were perfect and the Ube cheese cake delicious. So fresh! I'm glad we found this hidden gem and I hope you find it too!“

“Awesome food and cocktails“

“Make sure you triple check your oder. Today we ate at the Honolulu Bistro for the first time. The guy at the register claims he didn't rung us up for 2 sandwiches. At checking out he did say back our order. The recipe is not detailed either. The amount we paid was definitely for 2 sandwiches. We ended up sharing 1 sandwich and left.“

“Held at the wet and wild park which is fun! Food was excellent and the performers did a nice job with the dances but there is a lot of talking and it seems to drag at times - chief encouraged audience participation which the crowd seemed to enjoy! I would recommend the food ( chicken, fish, fried noodles, fresh pineapple) but expect the show to be a bit slow“

“Everything on the menu is onolicious and what makes it even better is the ohana that makes you feel right at home. Well worth the drive from the west side. 😋😉 Don’t forget to pick up a tray of butter mochi too!!“

“Absolutely our best meal in Hawaii. The right choice to celebrate a special occasion. Our experience was so wonderful, food, wine, atmosphere all made for the best evening. Our server, Julian was absolutely top notch, extremely friendly, attentive, and was just so happy to engage ensuring the celebration was more than we expected. Kudos he deserves it. Highly recommend this place. Will definitely be back.“

“We enjoyed the amazing food and aesthetic here! 10/10 recommend.“

“One of my family’s favorite gems since arriving to the island we always know it’s going to be a great day once we stop at Da Kåne’s for sure and really happy that it’s close by to our place gives it a little more respect that even if you’re in a tall building or a golf course if you want to serve great food you will and that’s why we love going here because no matter what we know they no disappoint for sure Yeah Mahalo to the kitchen staff and owners never stop doing great!!!!🤙🏽❤️“

“I make it a point to visit Helena's Hawaiian Food every time I’m in Hawaii, and it never disappoints. This place feels like a true slice of old-school Hawaiian culture, not just another tourist spot. From the moment you walk in, there’s a warm, welcoming vibe that makes you feel like you’re being invited into someone’s home.

The food is absolutely incredible and consistently authentic. You can really taste the care and tradition in every dish. Their kalua pig is always tender, smoky, and perfectly seasoned, while the lomi salmon is fresh and refreshing. One of my personal favorites is the pipikaula ribs—they’re packed with flavor and cooked just right. The poi here is also some of the best I’ve had, with a smooth texture and a clean, traditional taste. Every visit reminds me why Hawaiian cuisine is so special.

Service is friendly and genuine. The staff are always patient, helpful, and happy to explain dishes if you’re not familiar with everything. Even when it gets busy (which it often does), they keep things moving without making you feel rushed.

The atmosphere is simple and unpretentious, which honestly adds to the charm. It’s not about fancy decor—it’s about the food, the history, and the experience. You’ll see a mix of locals and visitors, which is always a good sign that a place is doing something right.

Overall, this is a must-visit spot if you want authentic Hawaiian food and a real local experience. It’s become a tradition for me to come here every trip, and I can’t recommend it enough. If you’re in Honolulu and want something genuine and memorable, this place should be at the top of your list.“

“Kau Kau is serving up delicious grinds consistently. The BBQ sauce on the ribs is some of the best I've ever tasted. Mac salad is kept separately so it doesn't get warm sitting next to the ribs and rice. Prices are fair. If you have never been, I strongly suggest you try it. The whole menu on point.“

“Wonderful lunch with my wife at this gem I had almost forgotten about after being brought here over 10 years ago. Pleasant waitress, great food, and even a friendly cat who’s obviously spoiled rotten and loves cheese and shrimp.“

“We had stumbled on Camille's Restaurant and we fell in love with the food and the owners. Recently our Mom passed away and immediately Camille's came to mind for the catering because their food feeds the soul...they cook from the heart and it translates into the flavors of the food. Everyone loved everything ...we had the Lau laus, kalua pig, BBQ chicken, and the smoked meat...everything was cooked and packed with so much love and care it was touching and it overwhelmed our hearts!!! THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!!“

“would I recommend Kehau's kitchen!?!?! hell yah!!!! they are awesome people and the food is ONO!!!!! You will definitely leave super full and satisfied! my all time favorite place to eat Hawaiian food ❤“

“I absolutely love their fish burger. The deep-fried, battered fish is perfectly crispy on the outside and incredibly tender on the inside. It’s topped with a rich onion tartar sauce, fresh coleslaw, and served on soft, fluffy buns that bring everything together beautifully. The flavors are outstanding and honestly hard to describe—you really have to try it to believe how good it is. On top of that, this place is also well known for its BBQ, which is just as impressive. If you enjoy great comfort food done right, this spot is a must-try.“

“Possibly the best breakfast spot for fresh cheap quick brekky. Remember to get the fried rice with the breakfast combo.

Very effective and friendly service.

Just overall what is needed for a quick and easy breakfast.“

“We had the seafood combo, the teriyaki steak bowl, double cheeseburger deluxe, chicken sandwich and two orders of fries , 3 fountain drinks and a coconut water. Steak bowl was small but it was very filling. Burger was huge and so was the chicken sandwich. Seafood combo was delicious. Definitely recommend“

“EVERYTHING! Was greeted and sat very quickly. The server was nice and friendly“

“Cash only! And drive around the traffic circle all the way and you'll see it, otherwise it's easy to miss. But you'll be glad you found it.

Nome Ono does not have an extensive menu, but if the rest of their lineup was as good as the shrimp fried rice it's worth the trip. They offer four or five versions of fried rice. And they have five or six entrees that they serve with steamed rice. Most choices are $18 as of today. Had I been here on my own I likely would have had one of the shrimp entrees - probably garlic shrimp or possibly coconut shrimp. But I was with my wife and she wanted the shrimp fried rice, so that's what we went with. Easily enough for both of us, with probably seven or eight shrimp and a huge pile of well-seasoned rice with a chopped up fried egg tossed in. We had just arrived on the island and wanted a light lunch and it was perfect.

There are a handful of tables with benches with a cover to keep you out of the direct sun, and there's a beautiful view just off to the side. Definitely worth stopping by if you're anywhere in the neighborhood.“

“Reasonably priced, great service and they put lots of food in the plate lunch!“

“Take out only. The have a vast variety of manapua, both steamed and baked. Staff is very friendly, efficient and puts a smile on my face. Makes a great impression when you are walking into a meeting, gathering, etc cause although everyone loves manapua, pork hash, half moon, rice cake, etc. Most people never think about this option which is far superior to donuts or other pastries.“

“Food is so Onolicious, always a good call when it comes to lunch. Ty“

“It’s all about the flavor 😋😋😋🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🎯💯‼️“

“I like local restaurants and L&L is good with reasonable price. Chicken Cutlets is a little bit oily but Loco Moco is very good. Don’t expect super clean tables and chairs.The loco moco here is cheap, the amount is so large that you can't finish it (regular), and it's delicious. During lunch time (starting around 11:30am), there are a lot of locals working in the area, so it gets crowded, so the later hours are often empty.“

“AAAAAAAA+“

“Penny's is a classic mom and pop's shop with delicious Hawaiian classics. My partner and I tried their garlic chicken and loco moco and were blown away. And they are right about how their service came with a personal touch. After we were done with our meal, the owner was thoughtful enough to welcome us to the island with lei and fruit medley and lemon peel. I would 10/10 recommend!“

“This is the perfect hidden food place that locals go to. Good food, good prices and the service is practically non existent. Meaning, it's 99% take out. There is a small table outside but that's why it's cool. No nonsense food at a good price. I highly recommend the Bento #1, the Katsu and the fried chicken.

Parking: The parking is hard to find but if you wait for a few minutes someone will leave.“

“frequently go to this place to pick up food orders. I haven't had the pleasure of eating here, but it's certainly an excellent place. The staff is amazing, always welcoming you with the greatest disposition, respect, cordiality, and kindness. There's a very young woman who wouldn't be able to scoff if someone made a mistake with their order or a drink. The lady who serves as host is undoubtedly a great employee. I hope her bosses value them highly because this place might not be as pleasant without them. Thank you for your work and effort.“

“Delicious hamburger curry, beef stew and sesame chicken.“

“We went to this location on Tuesday 7/29/2025 when they had the Tsunami scare. We live on the Waianae coast & had just spent 2 1/2 hours in traffic just to get to our toddler at daycare. We didnt make it in time to go home before the first wave was predicted to hit, it was too late to try to get to our pups in Waianae, so we decided we needed to stop somewhere to eat, far outside the tsunami zone.

We don't have much family here, so we really didnt have anywhere else to go. As we ate, we sat there distracted, speaking of everything we would lose. Worried, anxious, sad, etc.,

Our waitress was very kind & friendly. My daughter kept asking about the token machine & when we were done eating, she brought her a token. She didnt have to but she did and that was super sweet of her. I wish I remembered her name. It was a small act of kindness, but it meant a lot & we really appreciated it.

We had the spaghetti and meat sauce with garlic bread & it was delicious. My husband ordered the Korean Fried chicken and it was delicious as well. The desserts were delicious as well. This was our first time at this location and we definitely appreciate & enjoyed it.

Definitely recommend going here. Great service.“

“We just got coffee (locally grown Hawaii blend), but it’s such a charming decor showing old-life Hawaii. Offers local staples and such. Order on a line and take to your table… if you can find one. Outdoor seating is more limited than idoor seating.“

“Honestly: I’m disappointed in *myself* for not finding this place sooner! Got the loco moco plate and let me just say- it’s not only packed full of food, but it’s also packed full of FLAVOR! The mac salad was absolutely on point as well. The young lady that assisted me at the counter, Taney, was an absolute delight, and shared her insight on the best “go-to” items on the menu with an added twist. :) I’m already excited for what I’ll try next!“

“Such a friendly place and food is awesome. I eat there 5-6 times a week and love it every time“

“So much fun! Great food with a great show! So many activities prior to dinner! Loved it!“

“Good food & entertainment“

“I got a to-go order. Nothing short of impressed with the staff and the quality of the food. Very reasonable prices considering other restaurants in the near area. I wish i wasn't on vaction so i could enjoy this place regularly. Aloha!“

“Great place for a meal with the option to sit down or take out. Plus they have a great bakery selection. Service is amazing. Make sure to go through the full menu before making your choice as there are several options that all look very appetizing. I stopped in for the limited time Wrecking Crew Plate and it did not disappoint. Chicken, Fish, Sausage, Chili, Rice and Macaroni Salad!!!! This was a feast.“

“Everyone is helpful and eager to answer your questions any time of the hours. Thanks for Times for being so near to my place I can save gas!“

“Great place to be 👍 The mall is very nice and lots of parking too!“

“I work near by. The previous owner retired. This L&L took over by local people. Both of the owner are friendly and super nice, always shows Aloha Spirit. It is not only business , it is about providing a wonderful place for lunch break.
The food menu here is refreshed ! The restaurant are fully renovated! Clean and tide! From kitchen to seat are! The posters designed so cool!
I ordered the lighter food garlic fish! It is very fresh and tasty！ Highly recommend! You must give them a try!“

“Amazing food and service. Been around a long time and still great“

“best Mexican food on island, friendly service, HUGE portions - well worth it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I’m a mom of four and my kids love it!
The atmosphere is so nice and the food is so good! I was referred from a friend and it’s now one of my favorite places to go when I visit. The workers are so kind and helpful. Definitely recommend!“

“This L&L got a facelift recently, so it looks a lot better than it used to. Overall the food is decent. They have a lot of special menu items that you can’t get at other locations. I got the Fried Garlic Chicken and it was tasty and extremely garlicky. Bring gum and/or mints for after the meal!“
