Hawaiian Restaurants near Princeville, HI

“Came here for breakfast after hearing good reviews and now we know why! Omelet was cooked to perfection and the corn beef loco moco was such a nice twist to the loco moco we all know and love. They're friendly and super quick! Came back the next day for the wrap, and they had it ready as I was paying. The chicken and bacon wrap was really good and filling. Loved that it came with avocado“

“This is by far the best restaurant in Princeville. First of all, the service is impeccable. Everyone goes above and beyond at The Sandbox. Their pizza is the best. The man who makes them all day is really awesome. He's so nice, he even took a beautiful picture of us at sunset from his outdoor kitchen. And of course, the view is to die for. We went there twice while we stayed at The 1 Hotel which by the way is 5 stars all the way. We ordered pizzas both times. And one night, the chef made an incredible grilled shrimp salad special. All in all, I give it 10 stars.“

“We recently had shave ice at Wai’Oli at the 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay. We were not guests at the hotel, but came up from the beach to grab some shave ice. This is just one of several shave ice locations we tried on a recent trip, and posted reviews for each. Wai’Oli made a very strong showing.The smoothness of the ice is excellent, with very little chunks of ice. The menu has a lot of variety, and you have the choice of five different named dishes, or creating your own. The create-your own invites you to choose a gelato or sorbet, house-made syrups, and toppings. Everything we had was delicious; I would recommend getting the Mai Tai gelato in your shave ice. The atmosphere is great: poolside, right along Hanalei Bay, with the mountains in the background. The only thing keeping Wai’Oli from being the best on the island is the exorbitant price. $14 or $15 for a medium-sized bowl. Offensive by island standards, but probably a bargain for guests at the 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay.“

“We have visited Kauai a number of times and Tiki Iniki is always a must-do stop. Cindy hooked us up and Jay and Richie were all-stars! Always a good time here and the cocktails never disappoint. Great ambience, authentic feel for an island tiki bar and the staff and ownership have established and continue to run a quality island experience. Mahalo!“

“Have tried it 3 times. Twice it was top notch, once it was busy and extremely slow ( read hour twenty for salad and poke nacho) food was tasty all three times even when really really slow. Staff friendly. Expensive. Willing to work with dietary restrictions.Dietary restrictions: Staff willing to inquire in the kitchen if you have restrictions and kitchen was willing to follow through. Felt they cared about our needs.“

“I wouldn't normally order garlic shrimp for breakfast, but I'm convinced that this was the right call at Wake Up Delicious because it was just so darn tasty. The shrimps, doused in an intensely garlicky, buttery, and slightly spicy sauce, were jumbo-sized and served heads-on. You also get a nice heap of rice, which you can dip into the shrimp sauce. I got the seaweed salad as my side, which was refreshing and flavorful. It seems that Wake Up Delicious used to be a food truck called Trucking Delicious, but they moved into a brick-and-mortar shop in the bustling area along Hanalei's Kuhio Highway. There are a few seats indoors and on the small patio, or you can take your food out to the beach.“

“Went to this place for their mochi cake. It was gone by the time we got there. They told me that they ship to the mainland. I am looking forward to ordering online. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. We ordered a ginger lemonade. Very refreshing and we could taste the real ingredients.“

“Lots of solid food choices, especially if you’re looking for pizza (gf and DF options were stellar). We had a great waitress and it’s a fun ambiance. For the price, location and desire for a pizza after a full days worth of activity, I would definitely go back. Only downside is that their mai tai’s (which they call world famous) are just Mai tai’s. No better or worse than anywhere else.“

“Extremely charming place with friendly service and delicious food. We ordered poké bowl, house salad and fish tacos after full day of hiking. Everything was very fresh, full of flavor and the portions were big. I highly recommend Kalypso if you are visiting Kauai!“

“It's a decent fast-food Hawaiian BBQ joint. We probably could've gotten better food in the area, but even these guys were 20-30 minutes from entering line to getting food while everyone else was an hour at least. Limited seating on old picnic tables that need some attention.“
