Restaurants near Waimanalo

“Stopped in for some lunch with my wife. Excellent service, excellent food. Great place.”

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

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Really great tasting tacos but I thought they were a bit small. It’s a taco truck with low overhead so for $18 one would expect the portions to be more generous.”

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

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🤩 my family loves stopping by Dave’s Hawaiian Ice Cream after a day at the beach. Faves are the honeydew mochi, ube, and mint chocolate chip 🤙🏼 it’s true, the girl serving ice cream def has a ‘tude but very easy to overlook. The ice cream tastes great no matter who’s serving it.”

“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.”

“Love the Adobo Fried Rice!

“The matcha latte at this shop is very delicious. It's the right matcha, rich and fragrant. The ice cream and soft serve are also very good. Very delicious as well”

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

“Hands down my absolute favorite food of my trip to Oahu! Came back multiple times, absolutely everything on the menu is 🔥!!”

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

“A hole-in-the-wall place with a ~really~ good burger and fries. Probably the best on Waikiki, or at least the best I've found so far. Generous portion sizes, too. The only knock I can give is it's not "fast" food, like you might expect for a hole-in-the-wall place: Burger was (perfectly) made to order, so it took around the same amount of time to make as it would in a sit-down restaurant, but other than that, it was great. If you're looking for a burger you can grab and take to the beach, this is the place to get it.

Parking: Only parking is what you can find in the garages on Waikiki.”

“Don’t let the exterior fool you, this is no greasy spoon. We had a MARVELOUS breakfast here. All of the food was beyond compare, budget-friendly priced, and the staff is exceptional. Highly recommended. We will be back whenever we are in Honolulu.”

“Craving tempura, my husband found this highly rated restaurant, so we had to try it out. Located in Stix ASIA, one of several Asian restaurants in the basement of Waikiki Shopping Plaza.
Servers were attentive, yet not overbearing. We had fun teasing with our waiter, thankfully he was a good sport.
I ordered the Shrimp Tempura and the other two had the Kiki tempura bowls.
My husband thought his were greasy, but all were very good.”

“Delicious waffles! Amazing employees great service!”

“The food, wine, service, and atmosphere are amazing. I dine here every 2 months and I am always very impressed. Thank you for your continued excellence!”

“Every single person on the staff was so kind and welcoming! Highly recommend”

“TLDR: Melissa is AWESOME! But, if you are gluten free (ie no soy sauce with wheat) or allergic to mushrooms, you can’t eat here.

My husband and I combined have those allergies and Melissa was very kind to ask the chef if we could be accommodated. Unfortunately it wasn’t possible. Melissa was so respectful of how she informed us - aaaaaaand then offered us a complimentary cocktail (which was on point) and a reservation down the road at a nice restaurant that she knew could accommodate our allergies!

I don’t envy her for effectively having to kick us out, but she (and the entire staff) were so gracious to us. Thank you Melissa!”

“Our son took us there when we were visiting. Best coffee I have ever had. Never bitter”

“This coffee shop is a gem and quickly became the highlight of our trip! The owner was so welcoming to us and our baby, it has truly left such a wonderful memory for us in Oahu. We went back again and again, day after day! The Açaí bowl, Pitaya bowl, scones, cookie and coffee were all so good. The owner even came out just to say goodbye to us on our last day on the island, it was truly heartwarming! We will miss Pai Cafe so much!”

“The service was great. Busy spot with a bunch of good options nearby. The liliko’i pancakes is an absolute winner. The crunch stuff on top and the pineapple in the bites with the amazing passion fruit sauce was giving face melting”

“I had the unexpected pleasure of enjoying drinks and snacks at Obake. We were early for reservations at Skull and Crown. The hostess recommended Obake, which is their sister bar and restaurant, just around the corner. We were seated at the counter across from chef Christian and watched him craft all the handrolls served during our visit. First, the drinks: we had the Momiji, the Will o' the Whisp, the Fallen Angel, and the Feels like Summer. This isn't your everyday bar. The cocktails took some time to craft, but they did not disappoint . The Momiji was their nod to fall, while the Feels like Summer, well, you get it. While each drink was light and enjoyable, my favorite was the FLS. A nod to the Old Fashioned, but light and bright.

The house pickles and Yukari Fries were perfect sharing plates. We also tried the Hamachi, Summer Toro, Ho Hayn, and Bangsilog rolls. The Summer Toro had strawberries in it that paired beautifully with the spicy Toro. The Ho Hayn was served with a small dish of Hawaiian chili pepper water, either dipped in the water or followed by a chaser sip of the water. The Ho Hayn left me wanting more. The Bangsilog was probably my favorite just because it brought me back to breakfast in my Filipino mother's kitchen. It was all the flavors of my childhood in one roll.

Our server, whose name slips my memory, was a delight. She was attentive and explained the concepts behind the drinks she brought us.

Christian was a joy to watch and a joy to speak with.

Thank you for an enjoyable evening.”
