Hawaiian Restaurants in Waimea, HI

“delicious calamari and curry mussels appetizers, rib eye entries a must and for dessert brownies with ice cream and fried banana“

“Location and ambience is totally five star.....be there when the sun drops into the Pacific. The quality of the food, the presentation, the creativity and more was six star. Our server Ian made this evening one to remember....knowledgeable, patient, timely and very professional!!!!!“

“Hawaiian style cafe offers a wide selection of options for you. Pancakes are always so large and a plate come with 3 pancakes with butter. So be mindful of the size before ordering. Hash brown portion is a a little big as well. Although the pricing is so reasonable, there is always a chance that you'll waste food. The wait time can be a little long depending on the hours. Service is quite quick. Would definitely love the food and staff. This place only accepts cash. They do have an ATM onsite.

Parking: The place is so famous. Hence it might be a little difficult to find parking. But overall there are planty of parking space around the cafe.“

“Great kalua pork, way better than on the main land! Higher quality than the l&l in Hanalei too, my favorite Hawaiian barbecue grill. The pork was tender and had great flavor as well in addition. The lady that took our order was very nice and serviced us quickly and with the swiftness. Can’t wait to come back!“

“great food at an even greater price highly recommend it“

“Love the coconut curry with shrimp. Also a fan of the Korean ribeye & Teri chicken.“

“Great experience. Very nice owner and Simple place but the food was delicious. I ordered the ahi tuna and sushi bowl with sushi rice and added their chilli water on top. It was very fresh and no “fishy” taste. Wish I could eat that every day!“

“Freaking amazing food!!!! Need a brick and mortar place because this place bangs it out!!!! Guava chicken and Terri Pork... I’d fly here just for it!!!“

“They serve breakfast as well as the everyday faire of food. I had the French toast for my early breakfast one day and the chili spaghetti on a separate night visit. The Chili needs a little more flavor because it is fairly bland with no heat at all. Just some salt would help.

Parking: Shared lot with other businesses .“

“This restaurant obviously has it all going for itself with the location, on top of that the food and drinks are incredible but what makes it incredible is the service. Cristalle (sorry if I spelled this wrong) went ABOVE and beyond to make our dining experience incredible. She was so funny and engaging and made every effort to accommodate dietary restrictions for an amazing dining experience. Hopefully she remembers this quote but she was truly the “McGogger of the day”! She is an asset to the hotel and truly defines what hospitality means.“

“Separate vegan menu and server very knowledgeable about what was vegan versus not. Even brought out special bread that didn't have the butter brushed on. Best meal I have had on the island so far but price precludes frequent visits. Located in the Fairmont orchid, out back by the pool, not the easiest to find as signs are small.“

“Absolutely, the food was delicious and service and restaurant were amazing !“

“Nice experience with delicious food. It's a bit overpriced, but acceptable for a unique experience due to its location. Seeing the Manta Rays and snorkelers in the bay around sunset and after dark was worth the extra cost! We went twice in a week and saw Manta Rays one night. Our party had a variety of entrees that were all good. The chocolate soufflé was fabulous.“

“This was an unexpected find! The person working was very knowledgeable about their vegan options and they are clearly marked. We tried 2 dishes. The first was the mung bean pancake with daikon, shoyu potatoes and pipinola shoots. This was fantastic, the daikon paired really well with the pancake. We also tried the jap chae noodles with vegetables. There were okay, a little too oily for my personal preference. I would skip this next time.“

“Absolutely amazing. This is a must when de ending from waimea canyon state park. Unbelievably delicious and filling.“

“3 MOUNTAIN BBQ, Broke Da Mouth Huli Huli Chicken and RIBS the best on Big Island, the place I always get my fix. Beautiful people, super friendly and awesome service“

“Island Breeze have been Rated the Best Luau on the Big Island of Hawaii!“

“This is a wonderful place to eat for breakfast, with the most breathtaking views! Try the island fried rice, it’s worth the upcharge! My servers were all great, but my favorite person was Ginger who was the hostess. She has the best personality and is quite funny! Thank you for the great experience!“

“Loved the food…Mostly. There were a few things I’d like to see improved upon, like the veggies we got. They were cold and over cooked on some and under cooked on some. The beet salad needed slips of goat cheese rather than a grated hard cheese which I think was goat… it would have added a nice creamy element to it. I expected the beets to have a char on them but it was just roasted and pealed beets chopped into a bowl. It was greasy and nice but could have been so much lire so easily. I looooove the staff. The service was impressive and impeccable! The rib eye was huge and cooked perfectly. The Korean Short Rib was the winner. Great sauce. Good flavor and “FORC” tender. They have a nice wine list and a beautiful bar area. The restaurant is a nice choice while in Waimea. I do hope the learn to make mashed potatoes though… and learn that a dollop is better and an ice cream scoop when plating them“

“Amazing fire show with great atmosphere. Good was delicious.

Simply regrettable that even with premium tickets, drinks are not included (20$ for a small Mai Tai in a plastic cup...) and that the premium seat result in being just being light spots...“

“Love, love, love! Must do in Waikiki.“

“The meatballs app. The Red Water Martini: delicious!“

“The Copper Bar at the Mauna Kea is always one of our first stops when staying on the Big Island. Our excellent server was Lacey who was cheerful and knowledgeable. We shared the KFC appetizer as well as a Red dragon roll and a Margherita pizza. The entertainer Pomai played beautiful music on his electric guitar and granted our musical requests. The Hula dancer was also lovely. You cannot beat sunset there - AND I saw the green flash !“
