“Great 😍food very nice and friendly service !”

“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 💚”

“Excellent Puertorican cuisine”

“A staple on the west side, a definite stop if you ever find yourself in Māi’li. Best ice, best flavors, and the most hospitable people. Uncle Dan is the man. 🤙🏽”

“I stopped in for a butterfly effect tea. It is a healing tea for stress, anxiety and endurance. It starts off blue and then add the lemon and it turns purple. I love the heart shaped ice made of the tea so it doesnt get watered down & lasts longer. I like mine plain no agave or sweetener. I enjoyed looking at the historical pictures during my short wait. The service is true Aloha. Absolutely worth the drive out to Makaha. Definitely recommend and will definitely be back!”

“We had a wonderful experience here! The owner helped us out and was so kind-- the shaved ice was absolutely DELICIOUS! This was our favorite shaved ice place for our family vacation!”

“Came here because the reviews were good. My wife and I were really glad we did. The food was delicious. It was good enough that we went back the next day.

I got the kalbi and shrimp combo that was very good. It also came with a spring roll that was super good too. I asked for a suggestion and that's what they said to me. My wife got the Birria tacos without onions and cilantro. I tried a bite the first day and had to get it the second day because it was ssssssooooooo good.

Everything on the menu looked good and we were surprised at how good the presentations were from a food truck. If I could give higher than a 5 star for the food I would.”

“Came here after a hike nearby and initially was skeptical driving into the area but the establishment was great. The prices were fair and lower compared to tourist spots which was nice, food and service was great. Highly recommend.”

“keeps us informed about the areas on the westside”

“I really enjoyed the bold flavors here; if you're looking for something with a bit of a kick, this place definitely delivers. The dishes were well-seasoned and felt authentic, making it a great change of pace for lunch or dinner. It has a relaxed, unpretentious vibe that I really appreciated, and the portions were generous enough to leave me feeling completely satisfied.”

“We got both fish on rice and garlic shrimp. It was so delicious. The food was very favourable with great portions. The sea food tasted fresh aswell, highlight recommend if you’re in the west side and want a great meal.”

“Food and service were excellent!”

“This place was chef kiss 🤌. So ono and delicious. I got a combo A and my husband Kalbi combo with Meat Jun. This Korean BBQ place ranks 1 now with Kamakana location. Service was friendly, staff was fast.”

“This is a fantastic, welcoming local spot that consistently delivers delicious, hearty breakfast and lunch dishes. I love the casual, friendly atmosphere; it really feels like a neighborhood staple where you can enjoy generously portioned plates, like their popular pancakes or savory breakfast meats. It’s a reliable, comfortable place that I find perfect for starting the day or grabbing a satisfying, no-fuss meal.”

“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.”

“We ordered Micahs Special, Chicken Cutlet with Dark Gravy, & a second Mac Salad on the side. Everything was cooked & seasoned perfectly! The cutlets were crispy and tender. The Mac Salad was bomb! Micah Special had best fried noodles and crispy fries! We got baked goods to go. Very welcoming and comfortable. I loved the beautiful hydrangeas. Great customer service! Plenty of parking. We will be back to try the Shave Ice and Ice Cream. Definitely recommend and will Definitely be back!”

“Great service and yummy food! stopped here while I was in Hawaii with a friend. So delicious! Very affordable and great selection 🔆🌞”

“Absolutely amazing food, service, and live music. Got there at 7 for our reservation and no wait. Our first order got there very fast. 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!”

“This place is a gem! I love it. I had a lunch date here and wish I dined here before that definitely will be back! After breakfast or lunch take a stroll through waianae compa garden right behind the parking lot. Amazing it's so lush with the waianae weather they must have a good water supply.”

“Katsu curry was yummy! Wife had the garlic shrimp and she was surprised with the blend of the sauce, not too buttery and not too salty. Rice was moist and the Mac was good. We got our order in 2-3 minutes, so no wait at all. No one was sitting at the tables, but lots of locals were picking up their food. Skip the L&L next door and get this instead!”

“Great atmosphere, very COLD beer and great, super friendly staff. The food was really tasty too!”

“All the goods are good like the beef broccoli, lemon chix tbeir fried fish idms woth the extra $,and all the gau mien dishes. I'm hooked on their soft gau gee mien, with the gau gee on the side.”

“The BEST! Onolicious authentic Mexican tacos at reasonable price and generous portions. My kind of kaukau.”

“Delicious food and nice folks. We had the elote, mango cream, and horchata 💯”

“I eat here often for the varieties and none has failed me like some others nearby. Nor do they make you wait a lifetime for your food and always give friendly service. Highly recommend this place to non locals too. Very clean place well maintained and organized!”

“Stopped for late lunch. I had the Butterfish Nitsuke (absolutely delicious) and my husband had the chicken teriyaki, which he said was great. Cute little out of the way eatery. Service was excellent. Exploring Oahu and loving it.”

“Formerly known as Maili Pastele, Ohana Maili Market is now its name. They have awesome food for lunch & maybe dinner too. My favorite is their Poke Bowl with Taegu on top!! And then they have other foods such as laulau plate, baked chicken mushroom, hamburger steak, etc. These guys is THE BOMB dot COM!!”

“I have had pasta in Italy, I have had sausage in Germany, I have had poutin in Canada, I've had lobster in Boston... I could go on..
I have never, had a crispy, sweet and spicy, chicken bite that has EVER equalled to what they have... I ordered 2 from the appetizer menu and was disappointed only in myself that I could not finish them both.”

“I am obsessed with this place!! They have a decent variety of drinks; my favorite being the ube with extra boba 😆😆. They also have a lot of knick knacks and blind boxes, which the kiddos love. Staff there are very respectful and show a lot of Aloha 🥰. If you love great tasting smoothies and inexpensive products, you need to check out this gem on the westside!! Much love to the S7 family 💕💕💕”

“The food was prepared very well and delivered in a timely manner. Very tasty and fresh. Will definitely go there again.”

“This is the best Taco Bell on this Island maybe even the best in Hawaii, who knows..... I paid me 2 cups of water with, all pennies and the lady was so patient with me....... .
I even had my dog with me the whole time I was at the counter. And, on top of it all she still gave me the restroom key, no questions asked. They don't even kick anyone out even an hour after I was finished eating.....!
:)”

“Great place for a quick meal. Outdoor seating. Food was good! I'm not used to Hawaiian barbecue but I could definitely learn to love it. This place is definitely worth checking out. The portions were huge. I had enough leftover for a midnight fridge raid.”

“:Good food that’s affordable & they’re always able to accommodate late orders for Party Packages I’ve ordered in the past and present. The best part is they’re open to making any changes or substitutions to their Party Packs from #A-E with the understanding that adjustments to price may apply if a change request cost more than the original pan in place.

My only suggestions to improvement at this restaurant would be 1. To renovate their place and expand their structure to accommodate a sit down and be served section & a separate area for orders to go & pickup order section. 2. That they include an option for delivery service with additional charges. I believe those charges would definitely top this place off to the top making it true to its name #1 Chinese Restaurant 💯”

“Workers are EXTREMELY efficient considering the size of their work space and the endless line in the parking lot. Extremely kind, as well. I won’t get into detail because corporate entities are always watching, but I had a very bad day and I will say that they were extremely compassionate about it. If you’re planning on going here, remember to order online…makes everyone’s lives easier! (FYI I don’t work here I just have experience in the industry. Great job Starbucks!)”

“THE local aunty and workers are BOMB here. walked in as first timer and they helped us get all the good deals and sign up for rewards so we can get greater deals. we're all struggling with money and this aunty and the workers were so friendly and helpful they deserve all the credit and respect! please give them a RAISE whoever the manager is cause they deserve it. Definitely loved Papa Johns before but I'm definitely coming back more after today!!!”

“Old style family Chop Suey House. Nostalgic setting and friendly service…”

“Nayana im So Grateful best croissant ever I've been on the island I'm almost six years This Burger King experience was my best Never leaving Paradise The Ohana here is un Believable So much love”

“Waianae McDonald's is bringing the Aloha... went through the drive-thru and when I got to the window an item was not available , the manager gave a refund and a replacement item...WOW!!! Now that's how a manager shows customer appreciation!!! Five stars to the manager for keeping everybody happy!!!”

“The staff here is absolutely amazing! I accidentally placed my order at the Waikiki location after tapping “nearby” on the Starbucks app, but they went above and beyond to take care of me. This is what great customer service truly feels like!”

“Honestly the best place for burgers, fries, and that mustard mayo secret sauce! Also you have to try their FREEZES. Ask for the secret menu of shakes and Freezes and you won’t be disappointed! All these lower then 5 star ratings don’t know an amazing HOLE IN THE WALL drive in is even if it was in the name! This is a staple of Waianae and we need to keep these mom and pops going if we want to experience nostalgia every time we eat at places like this! Go support, go enjoy, and go order up so they can continue to feed us ONO ONO burgers and fries !”

“It's Little Caesars. Predictable corporate menu- locally prepared. This location is busy at times and the hot and ready cabinet may be empty. Be aware, the Google search will bring you to the Pizza Hut located in the same mall but, on the opposite side of building.”
