New American Restaurants near Pearl City, HI

“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. 🤙“

“In Pearl City... where else can you find five -star dining? Where else can you find a menu that is unpredictable, but in a delightful way? Where else can you find such youthful intensity and exuberance among the "staff"? Try The Pearl.

Parking: Several minutes walk from parking to the restaurant entrance.“

“Decided to try here for lunch...try something different, plus I was hungry after grocery shopping. HI Steaks is located inside the Pearl City Foodland, so I found it to be very convenient. The kitchen can easily be seen from the counter and the kitchen looked organized and clean. I ended up ordering a Kalua Pork & Steak plate ($18.99) and substituted the rice for greens (+$1.99), also ordered a build your own bowl ($16.00), with Garlic Chicken. I was a bit bummed that they charged extra for substituting the rice with greens, but oh well. My order came quickly, only waited for a couple of minutes, and then I found an open table at the dining area adjacent to HI Steaks. The portion size of the plate & bowl was reasonable for the price. Steak was good, tender and cooked perfectly for me. Garlic chicken was seasoned well, not too overpowering. The sides were all good too. Overall I really enjoyed the food and would definitely come here again!“

“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!!🙄😳“

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

“We had a great experience here. Atmosphere feels more like a mainland Chicago or New York eatery than the traditional local place which we welcomed for a change. Amazing food and very nice service (shout out to Jenya (? might be wrong spelling). Didn’t feel rushed at all which I loved. We will definitely be back.“

“We loved both the food and the wine and the service. The place is gorgeous too. We had a wonderful time.“

“Five stars for taste, atmosphere, and friendliness.
It's really delicious, the portions are plentiful, and there are a lot of menus. There's a Korean menu, so I enjoyed it very comfortably.
Good cost-effectiveness and good value for money“

“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.“

“Amazing , delicious, out of this world“

“Great atmosphere, really good food, outstanding staff!“

“TLDR: Melissa is AWESOME! But, if you are gluten free (ie no soy sauce with wheat) or allergic to mushrooms, you can’t eat here.

My husband and I combined have those allergies and Melissa was very kind to ask the chef if we could be accommodated. Unfortunately it wasn’t possible. Melissa was so respectful of how she informed us - aaaaaaand then offered us a complimentary cocktail (which was on point) and a reservation down the road at a nice restaurant that she knew could accommodate our allergies!

I don’t envy her for effectively having to kick us out, but she (and the entire staff) were so gracious to us. Thank you Melissa!“

“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!“

“Delicious food! The gravy for my country fried steak was absolutely delicious. Whenever we vacation back in Oahu, we will definitely come back. Such a comfortable and clean restaurant.“

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

“Good food and staff Great service“

“My guest ordered the Pork Chop and ate just a portion of it and said it was over cooked and too hard. Other than that, my Laska and my other guest Laska was excellent! We always try and sit in Yun's section as she has excellent service!“

“The hospitality from check in to service at the table is always consistently excellent and the recommendations from the servers, always so good! The macadamia nut crusted mahi and the taro hummus were amazing and we loved the refreshing the coconut lime sorbet for dessert. Can't wait to go back and try more!“

“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!“

“Just the best food, staff. Always happy. Always tasty dishes. Their wine dinners are fun. Salmon’s always perfect. A gnocchi & beef dish was especially tasty.“

“It's been half a year since we last came. The environment and vibe have not changed so much---very comfortable. They have a new Spring menu with a few new items added to their signature dishes. Tried their Hearts of Romaine salad, which was good with its light dressing. The Steakhouse Salmon was also good with a different kind of sauce. Hubby went for their Ribeye Steak which was not offered before and he also said it was pretty good. It was a pleasant date night.“

“Great food and great service!“

“We had a bahn mi and pad Thai and spring rolls. Bahn mi was good but not at all spicy like I’m used to, pad Thai was okay but could not taste any tamarind, kind of bland, spring rolls and their pistachio cake was good. Probably try some other dishes.“

“Ono good! Great times! Just super chill!“

“My Friend and I ordered corn beef hash. DA Bes in town. Friend wanted his eggs soft scrambled. Our waitress, Rhea, knew exactly how it's made as many establishments overcook them. She said she would inform the cook. They were served exactly as my friend, Bob, wanted. Great service even with a full house. We will become regulars for sure!!!!!“

“The food, service and value is REALLY good!“

“Excellent food and service. My wife and I were there for the Navy’s 248th Birthday Meal. The beef, mashed potatoes, macaroni & cheese, corn, vegetables, and salad were delicious. Good crab legs though a bit salty. Very clean and pleasant atmosphere.“

“been to 3 parties in the last 4 months all catered by Ige’s . I like their bar b q pork.“

“Have been wanting to try here and finally decided to bring a friend for her bday breakfast. The food was delicious, and it had a chill atmosphere. Very friendly staff and the place is super clean. Highly recommend the vanilla cream pancakes...they were the size of the plate and the firecracker chicken hash bowl. They both were delicious. They even offered a kids menu for breakfast, which was good to know.“

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

“We are staying at a hotel close by and we wanted to find something within walking distance we had no idea it was part of Embassy Suites.

I ordered the Shrimp tacos after seeing the picture while looking at reviews before arriving. They were so so so good but very spicy and I like spicy food.

My friend got the Spinach salad with shrimp and she enjoyed.

Another friend got the Frickles and I tried a couple, they were so so so good. I would go back just for those and a beer!

Nice cold Kona beer on draft.

I would say most people in the restaurant were staying at the hotel as they get free drinks. I would definitely remember that for our next trip!“

“Hall is renovated and is beautiful! Love going to live music events there! Great staff...Allie and Daryl are very helpful!“

“Great Birthday Dinner, the ambiance was excellent. The food was great and so was the service, thank you Stage ❤️ it“

“Great wine pairing dinners!!!!! And always a fabulous sunset. What more could you want these days?“

“Everything on the menu Ono! Even the rice! You gotta go check um out! Onolicious !!!!“

“Really surprised how great the food was. One of the best hamburger steak plate. Customer service was excellent. The place was really clean. It's not a 5 star restaurant but a decent place. The price was very reasonable. I actually thought the food there was better then the restaurant in Ewa beach. But that's my opinion.“

“Only went there when Chingy was performing live inside tropics and it was free admission. Should’ve visit tropics more often when I was stationed back there but overall it was a great experience and took advantage what tropics had to offer. Meeting chingy was the best moment I had there and growing up to this music in elementary school was a blast ?“

“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 ??“

“Island Mule with BBQ cornbread pan was excellent!“

“An excellent breakfast! I was a little hesitant to go to a generic buffet while vacationing in Hawaii, but it was quite excellent all around. Even had some more local food options. Something for everyone (we had three kids with us). If you’re staying at the Hale Koa I do recommend. You can also try to request a table with the best view. 🌴🏖️“

“Has very friendly staff in the operations office and was very helpful with all the questions I had. The facility is well secured and has their employees in their best interest. They even provide shuttle service to and from the facility to the nearest bus stop for those who don’t have a car.“

“The food is amazing and unique with a rotating daily special while also offering their main menu. Service is as fast as you can imagine, even on the busiest time. When you get your plate, you can sit down in a well maintained sitting area that has amazing views. It's definitely a great place to eat on the island. The entrance is inside NOAA.“

“💯 on point with everything“

“This restaurant is on the Marine Corps base and you cannot get on base and to the restaurant without a military ID. Google maps takes you to a closed side gate. You need to enter through the main gate. This used to be a military club. Now, it is an all ranks facility. The setting is almost second to none. You can sit outside under a huge spreading tree and watch the sun set from one of the highest locations overlooking Pearl Harbor. The panorama of the entire area is spectacular. The menu was limited, but well prepared. Given the setting, we'd have come if all they were serving was hot dogs. They have Mongolian BBQ on Wednesdays. Suspect that would be a hit.“

“The food hear is delicious and served in generously sizes portions. I recently visited for the first time. I ordered the Waikele burger and was not disappointed. The fries were also cooked perfectly.

I highly recommend eating OUTSIDE if there are more than a handful of people inside the restaurant. The acoustics were really and in there. It was practically full at lunch so the noise was incredibly loud.

Otherwise a great experience. Service was excellent. Had to wait a little at times, but it was a busy lunch time so seemed reasonable.“
