The food is amazing. The sides are delicious. I can’t wait to come back and bring my friends.”

“Wonderful and friendly. The waffles are some of the best I’ve ever had. The Kailua Pork Quesadilla was amazing as well. Manu was so friendly and after a nice conversation he gave a little speech and blew the conch as a blessing for our recent marriage.”

“Delicious food (fries are amazing!), staff was friendly and helpful! Cute place!!”

“BBQ Porto Sandwich was amazing!”

“Some of the best bowls I’ve ever had!! We got the açaí and pitaya and they were both so refreshing, especially after our hike at the Makapu’u trail. I’ve already decided we have to come back on our next trip to Oahu!”

“a longtime established place great people food and karaoke..always a blast”

“I visited for the first time in February of 2023 and loved it. We didn't have an agenda other than to relax. Getting ready to make our second trip next month. Is it fancy? No, but the peace is worth more than gold. If you're looking for a peaceful and relaxing stay....wait, why am I telling you all about this place? I'm sure you can find a better place to suit your needs and desires. This probably isn't what you're looking for. I hear that the military resort in Korea is nice. You should check it out.”

“Great spot to eat, drink, and hang out on the beach. Good food and drink choices, and service was great. Cool atmosphere with the restaurant, bar, pool table, couch and TV, rental center, and shoppette.”

“Good food pretty cheap and filling
A real old dive for a day in driving from beach to beach.
Sweet people, meets or exceeds every expectation if you have realistic expectations.
Cute and fun.”

“We’ve visited the Oahu the last 10 years, and this is a place we stop at every visit. Great plate lunch at a great price. We had Kalua pig plate lunches. So much food!”

“The reason we went to Jack in the box is because, on 1st year anniversary, we were to Hawaii and we spent all of our money and the only thing you can afford for the last day, was he Jack in the box. So we decided to go back again for a 30th anniversary. I still love the tacos.”

“We were looking for Ice cream near us while on vacation and Dave's Ice Cream came up on Google Maps.

Delicious Ice cream, clean store and incredibly nice person who helped us.

So glad we stopped in.”

“I love plenty of veggies and the sandwich maker really did a good job, with a friendly attitude. I am from Texas and usual price for a footlong sandwich is five to seven dollars Hear the average price was $7 to $9. Pretty good for Hawaii prices”

“Good breakfast special but needs to add black tea to menu”

“These guys take creative to a whole new level! Well done!”

“Delicious malsadas. Very crowded. It was a little slow because they make the malsadas when you order. Definitely try the original!”

“As usual, the Tasting Experience menu option was outstanding! Perfectly paired with uniquely concocted libations of botanicals, fruits, and spirits, each course was a delightful original experience we savored and wished would never end. The impeccable service continues to exemplify the highest standard of how dining out should be — timely, personable, educative and mutually respectful. Hats off again to Head chef Ki Chung and his perfectly choreographed staff, shout out to Jason and Jared!”

“My favorite panang curry on island! Attentive staff and fun atmosphere.”

“No waiting early morning dining! Great service! Yummo food!”

“Great service😊 Friendly staff ❤️”

“We had mixed feelings after dinning here last night. Ambiance and service were very good. Enjoyed being at the counter and watching the kitchen action. Food: some dishes had extreme sweetness to them which was overpowering fresh ingredients: kampachi very sweet sauce, salad dressing also very sweet, Brussels sprouts also tasted more like dessert. Also, market salad had way too many ingredients that did not go well together. More is not always better. Corn fritters and venison tartar were great. Angolloti pasta great but also had unnecessary sweetness to it. Gnocchi were spot on. If not for such over the top use of sweetness in many of the dishes we had, every one would have been great.”

“I was visiting Honolulu from Wisconsin, and this food truck ended up being one of the best surprises of the whole trip. I’ll be honest the walk to it looks a little sketchy at first since you head down this small alley, but don’t let that fool you. Once you get back there, it’s a whole different story. The customer service was awesome super friendly, super welcoming. And the food? Straight-up 10/10. The loaded barbecue fries were insane, packed with flavor and totally worth every bite. The burgers were just as amazing, juicy and cooked perfectly. Everything we tried was out of this world. If you’re in Honolulu, don’t sleep on this place. I’d come back in a heartbeat.”

“Came to Nana’s Green Tea at Stix Asia with two cars (4 people total). The posted requirement for parking validation is a $20 minimum spend at a Stix Asia eatery. Fair enough.

We initially spent under $40 on one bill and received validation for one car. Since we had two cars, we purchased an additional drink to bring the total well over $40. However, we were told they could not provide a second validation because the $20 minimum must be on a single ticket. The shift manager explained that employees could get in trouble for honoring it otherwise.

The issue is that the TV screen simply states “$20 minimum spent at a Stix Asia eatery,” which implies total spending qualifies. The single-receipt requirement was not clearly communicated. As a result, I ended up paying $6 for nearly an hour of parking ($3 per half hour).

If someone is only craving one drink or dessert, it doesn’t make sense to force additional purchases just to qualify for validation. Policies like this discourage customers from returning. Unfortunately, I won’t be coming back.”

“Very good food.”

“Wonderful Chinese food at moderate prices and with fast and friendly service, but there was a short wait cue. Meals focus on soups with Chinese noodles, and a some rice based meals. My wife enjoyed the beef and green beans with rice lunch.”

“What a great burger!! We were so lucky to find them, they’re in almost hidden spot. The order their arugula burger, but I added mushroom to it, it was unreal.
The amount of meat that you get is so good. She was even mindful of my pregnancy, and though I forgot to tell her go for fully cooked she came out and asked me how I would like the Patty to be cooked.”

“Wonderful hospitality!! And always delicious. 😍 Always a must stop when we are in town. Plus the atmosphere is great as well.”

“We RAN to Waffle and Berry after the zoo. We showed up 15 minutes before closed and they were quick to calm us. As long as we ordered by 2 minutes before close, we would be served. And then they showed up with a snack plate for our toddler. He absolutely loved it!! We absolutely loved our dessert. Crispy, warm waffle. Sweet ice cream and berries. Unbelievably welcoming environment.”

“Such a fun place. They have swing chairs at the bar. love it!!”
