New American Restaurants near Pearl City, HI

“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!“

“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!!🙄😳“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“Overall
​ | |
​To start, the service and atmosphere here were absolutely fantastic,our waiter was incredibly prompt and kind throughout the entire meal.
​As for the food, it was overall quite good, though there were a few mixed reviews at our table. The jambalaya was a highlight with a great ratio of rice to protein, though I personally prefer the heads to be peeled on the shrimp. The nachos felt a little stale to my taste, and someone in my party mentioned that the lobster noodles weren’t cooked quite right.
​That said, everyone in our group enjoyed the experience and the rest of the food. It's a great spot, and we'd definitely come back for the excellent hospitality!“

“Maze in Hawaii was absolutely delicious. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor, with a great balance of freshness and creativity. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients in each bite.

The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, and the service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. It made for a really enjoyable dining experience from start to finish.

Overall, a fantastic spot for a great meal—definitely somewhere I’d return to and recommend to others visiting Hawaii.“

“Amazing , delicious, out of this world“

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

“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!“

“The service and food here is absolutely fantastic! The Prime Rib Loco Moco, is the star of the show. I couldn’t finish, but thoroughly enjoyed, 10 ounces, of Prime Rib, over a bed of rice, with brown gravy, and 2 eggs, over medium, on top. Welcome to perfection on a plate. My friend said the fried chicken, was the best she had ever eaten. Next time, the Nutella pancakes, with banana, or should I get the tres leches, strawberry beignets….They are open 7-3 every day. They offer three different discount discounts Monday through Friday. Military, senior (62) or Early Bird. 7-8am. Be hungry. Enjoy!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“they have a great variety of different styles and flavors, which made it hard to choose. i love lemongrass anything so i went with that, and other stuff. the pasta, claypot dish and yakisoba all sounded great too Updated from previous review on 2026-05-09“

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

“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!!!!!“

“Great food and great service!“

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

“The Galley is very clean. Great atmosphere. The food is great. Eggs made to order. Fresh cut fruit daily as well as the salad bar is fresh as well. Great healthy drink choices. Always worth a visit.“

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

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

“Good food & entertainment“

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

“Could just be a preference, the fish toco where a little dry. Crispy pork, i prefer the vegetables mixed and a little more vinegar bite in the sauce. Garlic fries, again it could just be preference, it just didn't feel like Garlic fries im used to getting. It just wasn't mixed more like melted butter. Poke nachos... it was good just the sauce wasn't that spread out as much. Overall it was good atmosphere. For taste. To each their own.“

“Breakfast Buffet located at the Hale Koa Hotel. Affordable, for military and retired guests and hotel guests, less than $30 with ocean views and your common breakfast buffet. We came at the perfect time on a Friday morning before 8am and before the rush arrived. We got a nice outdoor table with the views of the ocean and outside, there are nets so birds can get in. You can order drinks and smoothies for a charge. There is an omelette station and I think you can request special plates, but overall it’s a traditional continental breakfast buffet with salmon eggs benedict, French toast, and some Hawaiian dishes too. Located at the Kalia side of the towers on the side where check in is. The parking garage is across the street from the hotel. You can also charge to your room or pay there, I think my parents got a senior citizen discount. Convenient if you’re staying at this hotel.“

“Can’t really say to much about the service and atmosphere because it was take out but staff was friendly and we revived our food In a timely way. The kalua nachos are great, the cheese and ingredients are mixed throughout the nachos and not just stack in top leaving nothing on the bottom like other places. Would recommend.“

“I'd never been to this establishment before and was surprised at how great it was! There's a nice variety of dishes to choose from on their manu, the service is attentive & friendly, their prices are reasonable, and there's ample free parking. If you go for dinner the sunset views are spectacular! On certain evenings they have local musical groups entertaining diners as well (it can get loud, so request outside dining if you prefer a quieter setting), and membership isn't required for dining. I highly recommend enjoying a lunch or dinner here!“

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

“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 ?“

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

“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 staff are wonderful and my twins 👯‍♀️ got to order pizzas to bake at home 🏠 it made them really happy“

“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 ??“

“Military only ..Was not able to eat here but don't want to ruin ratings. If you're not in military, don't go to this restaurant. You're not allowed to enter... Don't go through the gate, turn around before- unless you have military ID, otherwise you will have problems.“

“💯 on point with everything“

“The food is excellent. Nice, friendly vibe!!“

“Ali was so sweet. She helped us with bowling and made us delicious drinks from the bar.“

“Great food and great service!“

“I’m in the restaurant industry as a Bartender. Wanted to shot out to Tow people I noticed doing above and beyond at Mililani CPK. Dillion and Jeffrey keep up the good work. People see it but don’t always give a compliment. Thank you Your noticed!!“

“We were actually impressed for a museum restaurant. Prices were about what you'd pay at a regular fast casual restaurant and the flavour was pretty good. My main complaint is the food wasn't very hot at all (actually the pork was basically cold), but it was tastier than I expected for museum food. If you're at Pearl Harbor for a day, this is a pretty reasonable lunch stop.

Service was also pretty friendly and the atmosphere was nice since it wasn't too crowded.“

“Fun bar with pool tables and several tvs, good bar food menu and reasonable drinks“
