Restaurants near Waimanalo

“Some friends and I wanted to check this place out met the owner, awesome guy, super friendly, welcoming. We ordered breakfasts and the poke plates, I really wish we took pictures to show the beauty of these plates but it looked so delicious that we all dove into our food right away and I shit you not, it was even better it looked. The poke was spot on, could not taste fresher then if it swam out the ocean into your mouth! If can, give this spot a try, it did NOT disappoint.”

“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!!”

“Clean, clear and pure ice and water at a reasonable price. This location is safe,secure and well lit all night. Only a few steps from your car.”

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

“This a great spot to stop for an açai bowl while out driving the island - so fresh and delicious! Very good pricing as well! Service is so lovely and friendly. Bonus points for the unbelievable beautiful view while ordering and enjoying your food 💕”

“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.”

“The food is amazing, I got the pork and cabbage comboed with garlic shrimp with rice and Mac salad, HUGGGE position size I could barely finish it! The food was all so delicious, the garlic shrimp was so juicy and packed with garlic, not to mention the 10/10 service from Kang! This is the best L&L on Oahu, hands down. 🔥🤙”

“A hidden gem, though you’ll need base access (Military ID or Veteran’s card) to reach it at Bellows AFB. Once you’re through the gate, no special ID is required to order. I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve tried here—the quality is consistent and the staff is great. They even offer a mini Starbucks menu for those looking for familiar favorites. If you're visiting during a special event like the Christmas Tree lighting, expect a 10–15 minute wait, but it’s well worth it. If you have the credentials to get here, consider yourself lucky!”

“Food was awesome!! Best Kalua Pork I have ever had. Customer service terrible. Screen over window was black and customers can not see employees while taking orders.”

“The Halo Halo at Dave’s Ice Cream Aiea is the Best I’ve tasted!!! 💯💯💯”

“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.”

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

“We had a young man today make our sandwiches today and I was impressed with his intentional skill when it came to presentation and layering. We visited 3/9/26 sometime around 1230pm. Just wanted to give him kudos and thank you for his time and service.”

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

“Very good food.”

“和テイストのフレンチで、とても美味しいですね。”

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

“Very friendly staff. The Mai Tai has almost a unique creaminess to ot that I've never had before. It's well worth trying along with other drinks there. All were unique and tasted great. Worth the visit even as a walk in.”

“A wonderful experience at Maze in Honolulu, largely thanks to the exceptionally warm service, strong flavor and sauce work, and consistently good dishes from beginning to dessert.

What sticks in our mind were the oyster (meaty oyster that didn't feel powdery as some larger ones do, balanced but not overwhlemed by the sauce on top), the basil jook that came with the scallop dish (so well developed), the Washugyu and daikon broth that came with the main.

Also want to compliment the pacing of the meal as we never felt like we were waiting for a long time for any of the dishes. Pretty much perfectly well paced for preferences.

Overall, adding in everything into the experience would not hesitate to come back here again.”

“I am a Miami to Alaska transplant and seek out great Cuban food and cafe’ whenever I travel. Castro’s is the real deal!! The Cuban Cafe’ is spot on and the French Toast with the Rum Sauce is off the charts!! Enough food to feed two! The owner is friendly & engaging as is the staff. Stop in, grab a Cafe’ and chill on the sidewalk seating while your breakfast is created..I say created because it is a true work of art…at least in my professional opinion.”

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

“I made the conditional 25 dollar cancellation fee—reservation on open table days ago, and I recommend to make one ahead to reserve a table.
Parking is next door in the building, directly map the location to marin towel manciple parking is better option for you. Then walk down to the restaurant.
The two non-alcoholic drinks I have ordered the cucumber sour and house drink of the day, I highly recommend.
Corn one is way too cheesy and strong truffle flavor.
The beef is highly recommend.
Scallop has a great taste, cooked perfectly in texture but has a strong seafood flavor.
The food takes a long time to cook and wait, plan for at least two hours. Come by earlier before the appointment time is recommended, at least 15.
Two people, we spent 255D, top included.
Service is nice and professional.
Dessert menu came after the course has done, and variable selection of wine.
Chocolate is okay.
Strawberry cake is highly recommended.”

“Great service😊 Friendly staff ❤️”

“The bara shirashi box is an excellent value. The sushi is high quality and well seasoned and the rice is perfectly cooked and consistent both times I've ordered it.”

“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.”

“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!”

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

“Service was alright. What stand out are the authentic HK style congee and the rice roll super perfect tender that mix well with peanut and oyster sauce. Will not hesitate to recommend”

“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.”
