“Good prices and good food. ✔️ Local spot that I love! Nice people, classic interior, with great good! Get the Loco Moco. Has a solid looking Breakfeast menu (I have yet to try), plate lunches (yum!), and dinner (definitely try). Recommended my a local I met and did not disappoint. When I arrived I didn’t know what to get and hadn’t had poi before and they so nicely brought me a taste before ordering 💚”

“Went here after a dolphin snorkel trip for some shaved ice. Haven't been on this side of the island for 30+ years so it was time to try something new. This is a small little shop in a strip mall. Very unassuming except for a sign stating that their shaved ice was voted #1 by the readers of Honolulu Magazine. The staff here was very welcoming and there was no wait to place our orders. There was no medium cups available for shaved ice so we got smalls. I recommend getting a small. Not too big and not too small. Just right There are many different add on things like ice cream, snow cap condescend milk, ube cap, mochi, azuki beans, etc. Sadly no azuki beans were available when we were there The shaved ice was so fine and smooth. It melts in your mouth. Definitely better than some other well known shaved ice places I've been to. The syrup wasn't overdone or underdone. I had the strawberry and haupia with mochi and snow cap. The strawberry syrup was pretty good but the haupia was excellent. Next time I'll stick to that by itself so it wasn't drowned out by stronger flavors. The mochi portion was nice. I would hold off on the snow cap with this combo and size. The narrow cup didn't allow for a good snow cap portion. Excellent shaved ice if you're on this side of the island. Will definitely recommend and will be coming back when I return to the islands.”

“Best Thai food in all of Hawaii! I would highly recommend everything. There is a lot of cabbage in the curries so you might want to ask for them to go light on that. But this place is fantastic and you should eat here if you ever find yourself in the west of Oahu! 🇹🇭🍛”

We visited with a group of 10 people, and every single one of us was amazed by the incredible flavors and outstanding service. The pizza was absolutely delicious, and the local Hawaiian dishes were just as amazing. Everything we ordered exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Hawaii—it’s a must-try! 100% recommended!”

“I stopped by Teapresso Bar in Waiʻanae and it turned out to be a great spot for bubble tea and refreshing drinks on the west side of the island. The shop has a relaxed neighborhood feel and seems to be a popular stop for locals looking for a quick drink. The menu includes a wide variety of drinks ranging from classic milk teas to fruit teas and specialty iced drinks. One of the highlights for me was the balance of flavor in the milk tea. The tea itself comes through clearly rather than being overly sweet, which makes the drink more refreshing. The tapioca pearls have the chewy texture that people expect from a good boba drink, and they pair well with the milk tea base. If you prefer something lighter, the fruit teas are also a great option and work especially well in the warm Waiʻanae weather. The shop itself has a simple and clean layout with a straightforward ordering counter. Most customers grab their drinks to go, and the service moves quickly even during busy times. Overall, Teapresso Bar is a solid stop in Waiʻanae if you are looking for a refreshing bubble tea or fruit drink while exploring the west side of Oʻahu.”

I would recorder everything we had: poke nachos, medium rare loco moco with fried rice, house burger medium rare with grilled onions and strawberry cheesecake. Best loco moco I’ve ever had. Poke nachos were up there. Burger was very good with aioli sauce. The garlic truffle fries were average but still good. The cheesecake was super good, perfect size for two who just ate a lot. We didn’t finish our food to leave room for dessert. Great spot, highly recommend!”

“I had a really positive experience at the McDonald’s in Wai‘anae, and I would give this location a solid five stars. It is one of those places that feels reliable, convenient, and welcoming, which is exactly what you want from a local McDonald’s. Whether you are stopping by before work, grabbing something quick after the beach, picking up food for the family, or just wanting a familiar meal without any hassle, this location does a great job delivering what people expect. The first thing I appreciate about this McDonald’s is the convenience. Wai‘anae can get busy, especially during certain times of day, and having a dependable fast-food option in the area makes a big difference. The location is easy to stop at, and the overall experience is straightforward. You can get in, order, and be on your way without feeling like the process is complicated. That matters a lot when you are hungry, in a rush, or traveling with kids. The staff deserves credit. During my visit, the employees were friendly, professional, and efficient. They kept the line moving and handled customers with a good attitude. Even when things were busy, they seemed focused and organized. That kind of service makes a simple meal feel better. A smile, a clear answer, and a quick order go a long way, especially at a place that serves so many people throughout the day. The food was exactly what I hoped for: hot, fresh, and satisfying. The fries were crisp and warm, which is always one of the biggest tests for any McDonald’s. Fresh fries make the whole meal better, and this location got them right. The burger was put together well, tasted good, and came out at the right temperature. Everything felt fresh enough to enjoy right away, not like it had been sitting too long. For fast food, consistency is important, and this McDonald’s delivered. I also appreciate that the order was accurate. That may sound simple, but it makes a big difference. When you are ordering for more than one person, or when you have specific requests, accuracy matters. Nobody wants to get home or drive away and realize something is missing. My order was complete, the drinks were correct, the sauces were included, and everything was packed properly. That kind of attention to detail is one reason I would return. Another positive point is how family-friendly this location feels. McDonald’s has always been a place where families can find something for everyone, and the Wai‘anae location keeps that same feeling. Kids can get the meals they like, adults can grab coffee, breakfast, a burger, or a quick snack, and everyone can eat without spending too much. In a community where families are often moving between school, work, errands, and activities, that kind of affordability and convenience is valuable. I would also recommend this McDonald’s to visitors passing through the west side. Wai‘anae is a beautiful area, and people often come through on their way to the beach, to visit family, or to explore the coast. Having a recognizable and dependable food stop nearby is helpful. You know what you are getting, the prices are reasonable, and it is easy to pick up something before continuing on with the day. Overall, my experience at the McDonald’s in Wai‘anae was very good. The service was friendly, the food was fresh, the order was accurate, and the location was convenient. It checked all the boxes for a great fast-food visit. I do not expect a McDonald’s to be fancy. I expect it to be quick, clean, reliable, affordable, and satisfying. This location met those expectations and then some. I would definitely come back again and would recommend it to anyone in the area who wants a quick, easy, and dependable meal. Five stars for friendly service, fresh food, and a smooth overall experience.”

“This location was pretty good, the food was all very hot which shocked us! Whenever we go to the Pearl City location the food is almost never fresh, the fries were piping hot for once. Although they forgot one of three fries it’s a small mistake that we notified them about it and was resolved. The inside was clean and there were very few people.”
