Hawaiian Restaurants in Waianae, HI

“The food is delicious. I had the Kalua Pork and cabbage. Portions are appropriate for the money. In fact, I took the rest to go and got two meals out of it. I appreciate the casual, yet quality, approach of the restaurant and that it is local vibes rather than tourist. There were a number of flies during our entire time eating inside the restaurant.“

“Great 😍food very nice and friendly service !“

“Like most places in Waianae, there aren't tourist dollars floating bad food with one time purchases. Bad restaurants with good marketing can survive in waikiki, but when you're customer base is 90% people who live within a square mile, you have to provide good value and bbq kai is a good example of that.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 L & L BBQ is one of the many L & L " I LOVE ". Located in Nanakuli Shopping Cntr. Compared to other L & L restaurant, food is excellent. Portions are perfect even the mini size is plenty enough to share between two people. Come try them out.“

“Simple reasonably priced fare that was so delicious! I had the vegetable omelette served with greens and rice with an added side of tasty Portuguese Sausage and my husband had the Punke- (eggs, meat choice and rice). The views of the covered balcony were worth the visit!

Vegetarian options: Delicious vegetable omelette!“

“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!!“

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