Hawaiian Restaurants near Wahiawa, HI

“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“

“We’ve been taking out from Islander Drive Inn for many years. Its not a fancy place, just a simple, hometown spot, but i gave them 5 stars for 5 reasons.#1 Consistency - What i ate many years ago tastes the same every time we went including today. Im not left scratching my head figuring they changed cooks again. If they did, I didn’t notice. What makes me so sure? I eat the SAME THING every time.#2 Accuracy- They have never messed up my order. Nothing different, nothing missing, I get what I ordered. Utensils too.#3 Hot Food- I paid higher prices at places 5 minutes away from my house that left me feeling cold. Literally. Not here though.#3 Communication- They answer the phone quickly, I understand what they are saying and they understand me. Pleasant.#4 Convenience- Fast Service. Good location. Good parking. I always need medication picked up at Longs so picking up a meal at the same time makes it easy.#5 Local Business- Always support local.My personal favorite is always the Honey Garlic Chicken plate with all white rice. Nice,Sweet Honey sauce with perfect amount of garlic, not overpowering and Crispy juicy Chicken. Very flavorful. Good portions. My husband enjoys the homemade hamburger steak with onions and requested gravy all over everything. Fries are crinkle cut. They are decent. Good selection of other different plate lunches as well with pictures. If you haven’t been, we recommend this humble spot in Wahiawa.“

“A hidden gem! Super friendly people, great food with large portions! We are here on vacation from Alabama and this ranks as one of our favorite finds on the island!“

“We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Zippy’s thanks to our amazing server, Harley! From the moment we were seated, Harley greeted us with a warm smile and genuine kindness that made us feel so welcome. Throughout our meal, Harley was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Our drinks were always refilled promptly, special requests were handled with care, and the service felt personal and thoughtful without ever being rushed.

It’s rare to find someone who truly loves what they do, but Harley’s positive energy and professionalism made our dining experience outstanding. Harley is the reason we’ll keep coming back to Zippy’s. Thank you for such great service! You truly made our visit special!“

“Great food and friendly service. Don't let the location or the outside appearance scare you off, this is an excellent place for a quick and cheap meal. We fed an adult and 2 kids for breakfast for $14 total. Can't beat that anywhere in Hawaii. We'll be back.“

“Pretty low key, great history, decent prices, stunning flora.“

“It is everything and then some. Great experience“

“We went here for some good poke and it was mostly great. My husband got the spicy ahi and salmon shoyu which were both delightful! I ordered the California ahi and was surprised to find giants chunks of imitation crab meat in it. I do not care for this at all so I picked it all out. I wish there had been descriptions under the options. I did ask about the spice level but I assumed that the different names were related to the sauce. Next time I will ask more questions.“

““What an unforgettable evening! From the moment we arrived, the warm aloha spirit was everywhere. The food was plentiful and delicious. The performances were breathtaking—full of energy, history, and storytelling that made us feel connected to Hawaiian culture. Every dancer and musician gave it their all, and the fire show was absolutely spectacular. The staff was kind, welcoming, and made the whole night flow seamlessly. If you’re visiting Oʻahu, this luau is a must-do experience!”“

“We adore this spot and can’t wait to make it back. The staff is incredibly kind, the food is phenomenal, and the portions are huge for the price. There are tables outside to sit and eat, and it’s just a wonderful, cozy, low-fuss spot to enjoy breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

I can’t begin to tell you how many times I dream of getting back to Oahu JUST for Kaya’s. Easily one of our favorite spots on the island!“

“Great local place! You know it's gonna be good when it's mostly locals there that the owners know.

Our favorite dish from there were the peanut butter buns. This cannot be missed! If you like peanut butter - please don't leave workout trying it from here. Gooey delicious and divine.

The garlic shrimp were yummy. Loco moco was above average. Kalbi beef was great.“

“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!!!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“AAAAAAAA+“

“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.“

“Convenient , tasty, and fast. You can't ask for more.“

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

“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’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!“

“Went before da lunch rush. Had the katsu curry special of day $12.99. Was big portions, but the curry sauce wasn't on the katsu (but they gave katsu sauce too). I asked the guy if can put curry on the katsu \\u0026 he did! It was the counter girls first day \\u0026 she didn't really have a trainer so took Lil long but I gave her a tip anyway bc she was just thrown in front \\u0026 trying. Was so big I saved half my plate!“

“I always do takeout bc they're not exactly located in a great area they do have some tables and chairs but again do not recommend eating there take your food home the food is good the staff is always friendly and they're open late“

“First time here and food was so good. Definitely recommend banana pancake and katsu curry chicken. Service was excellent l, so friendly. It’s a small place so you have to wait in line outside to get in but the line moved really quick. Would definitely come again on our next visit.“

“This is a charming location in converted old gas station. We each had a 24 oz smoothie (coconut, mango, and a couple of mixed combinations) to start while waiting for our food outside on a picnic bench. The food was one of the best we’ve had on the islands: Kahlua pork, Kalbi ribs, Teriyaki chicken, Furikake Ahi, squid luau, fresh caught fish, fish tacos, macaroni salad, tossed salad and coconut cake with pineapple for dessert. Highly recommended!“

“Stumbled upon the food trucks when we were in the area. Decided to try this one out, which turned out to be good. The special was a steak dish and also had the pork/chicken combo.
Everything was pretty good, however the menu song doesn’t let you know everything you are getting. I didn’t know the chicken was with noodles, the special didn’t specify the sides, etc.
In any event, enjoyed it all (even though the Mac salad is like 45% mayo)
Would definitely get the kalua pork and absolutely would get the steak special again. It was my favourite.“

“Hands down best food we had on Oahu. Fresh, beautiful, balanced flavors and unique menu options. We’ll be back for sure!“

“Friendly service. Good selection of food and drinks. Glad they have Brown rice. But, the vegetables in my beef bowl were cold. The amount of rice made it pleasantly filling and the beef was tasty, with an adequate portion.

I edited out the typos and the response by L&L disappeared. I appreciate someone from the company responding. Thanks.“

“Our 3 time on the island and every time we make it a point to stop here! The best shrimp in Oahu and amazing service. Also a little bit cheaper than other shrimp trucks. Nice seating and amusing chickens to watch while you eat, Definitely check them out.“

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

“Me and my family have supported this place for years.we moved to ewa this year and we still find our selves going here.i am pleased to see that they have renovated their restraunt.food is awesome and we have never had a problem with their service for over a decade.

Parking: Ever since longs closed(I AM STILL HEART BROKEN) there has been plenty of parking avilable.

Kid-friendliness: They have a lot of meals small enough for your kids.the atmosphere is kid friendly too.“

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

“Absolutely wonderful! Great food... outstanding service!“

“I was over-charged by at least $10, but by not contesting cost until three weeks later, manager(?) denied bilking me. Went to eat with friend, and was too busy to think about questioning cost. Manager tabulated items separately, unseen; however, three weeks later, cost was rung up and available to be reviewed. Both times, no tabulation of items bought presented, just the charge. Yeah, my bad.“

“Today was the first time my family and I have visited this restaurant. With such great reviews I had to come check it out for myself. I was craving Chinese food and found this place on google. When we got there we were greeted by the kind owner and his employee. We got there a bit late but were happy that they still had manapuas,rice cakes and bentos. We most definitely be back because the hospitality was great and we really appreciated how welcoming they are. Thank you for the delicious food especially the tasty fried coconut mochi balls😋☺️.“

“Jillian or Gillian was AMAZING. She was so sweet VERT accommodating the meal was cost efficient and an overall good time. Great place to go if you're into getting away from the tourist part and go to the parts where Hawaiians spend everyday life.“
