Restaurants in Waipahu

“Yes did a take out 1st thought my red hat ladies would enjoy staff was friendly and kind. Everyone had a great time. Food was delicious.”

“Just had an AMAZIING lunch about a 1 1/2 hours ago! The staff service and ESPECIALLY THE FOOD WAS A 10 OUT OF 10! We were a party of 4 , greeted warmly within 5 seconds upon entering...Three of us had the choose 2 ..2 were the teriyaki Ribeye and Tempura as the 2nd. one was a butterfish and tempura for second and last was a single chicken katsu! EVERYONE enjoyed and LOVED THE FOOD from the starters salads and miso soup, through the delicious entrees! *one had complete meal which included drink and a green tea icecream! staff was 100% and we fealt extra spoiled as a gentleman (manager/ owner not sure) stopped by DID a funny trick and spent time making our experience extra special! I had been seeing advertisements on my phone for a little over a month and kept telling my husband! Our friends and us FINALLY made it! A HUGE MAHALO TO EVERYONE! Can't wait to come again! xo”

“AAAAAAAA+”

“Had many awesome experiences at Star Lounge- tonight wanted to get out for a little while to sing & relax with friends, was told to stay home and not come in. I understand I cannot drink alcohol or liquor due to health issues (told the owner that I would drink green tea) still told me not to come in; 2 months ago they had no problem with me going when I spent nearly $600.00 in one night. I don't regret spending the monies on the workers and friends- just needed some socialization!!”

“Is Soo good”

“Always friendly help. A place to meet neighborhood friends for drinks and, for the athletic, darts. Service not the fastest, but that's the joy of that long time dining/drinking place. Been going there for the past twenty plus years.”

“For breakfast, a bowl of Pampanga Kitchen's Arroz Caldo (rice soup) is a great way to start the day. It's full of flavor, with generous amounts of chicken and an egg. Also included: two calamansi to jazz it up even more.

Order and pay at the register first. Counter seating.

Parking: parking may get tight later in the day

Wheelchair accessibility: good accessibility”

“I come here every time I visit Oahu. Food is absolutely authentic and if some of the other ppl in the reviews would have ever been to Thailand they knew. Would always recommend without a doubt - prices are ok, taste is great, size very good (for an European). Will be back ❤️”

“I would recommend making a restaurant here in Las Vegas. Genki is a staple back home in Hawaii, and no sushi place here is up to par. I feel like you folks will make a lot of money, especially because of the amount of locals here.”

“Great food, good service , comfort food”

“Take out or delivery only. There's no dining area.

I ordered a pizza at this Domino's a while ago, but I remember my pizza came out perfectly. I'd definitely order from here again.”

“Tables are very tight my family of 4 was squeezed in between 2 large parties and the bathroom needs a renovation, starting to look like a gas station bathroom. But service was great and the food was good as always.”

“Jamba at San Bruno, California was my 2nd stop almost daily ...Amazing employees are always working hard and helping customers with the best attitude!
Moved to Oahu and feeling lucky to find another one again ... Delicious nutritious apples and ? ? greens ..my favourite juice !”

“Awesome food. Just got back from military leave and couldn’t stop thinking about filipino good we have it so good here in hawaii. And how much i take it for granted”

“Out of all the Korean BBQ places this is absolutely head and shoulders above the rest. The plates are around $22 but it’s enough for 3 people! The spicy chicken meat jun plate was amazing! I got the best rice temp and texture I’ve had on this island! On top the rice was probably 4 chicken thighs covered in spicy sauce that saturated the top of the rice magnificent! The meat jun was executed well and added a nice balance to the heat. The veggies were perfect in texture and spice! We got delivery on uber eats today because our usual place was closed so grateful they delivered as I just had a back procedure and can’t drive. Definitely recommend! 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟”

“my favorite is well all of it, Ahi poke bowl to pick one. nom”

“The greatest malasadas ever! Served hot and the price is right! Food truck is in shopping area so parking is good, and there is a Starbucks and a McDonalds there, too, if you want coffee with your goodies!”

“Nice selection of traditional Hawaiian favorites at reasonable prices and generous portions!”

“When I have meetings in the Leeward area, I always stop by to get some deep fried manapua to bring!! They're now called Aloha Island Manapua, but their deep fried Manapua is still ono and their baked Manapua and dim sum is SOOO good. Their bentos are also super reasonable and their hot lunch selections so good. I recently got to try their sweet sour spare rib and it was so tender and tasty! Check them out. They cater too!”

“Always great tasting fresh food and they change their specials every day plus large portions make my opu really happy every time I stop by! Totally recommend this place! 🤙🏼”

“I've been wanting to try this place for a while and finally got the chance. The food was really good and the service was fast and friendly. We ate the combo of lasagna and chicken saltimboca and another combo of lasagna and chicken alfredo. Ate it all before I even thought about taking a picture to leave with a review.”

“My family of 4 each got a separate bowl and we kept stealing each others food because everything was delicious!! The ladies that work there are also so sweet and service was fast!”

“Easy to shop!!! Good prices too !!!!! Loved it !!!!!”

“We had stumbled on Camille's Restaurant and we fell in love with the food and the owners. Recently our Mom passed away and immediately Camille's came to mind for the catering because their food feeds the soul...they cook from the heart and it translates into the flavors of the food. Everyone loved everything ...we had the Lau laus, kalua pig, BBQ chicken, and the smoked meat...everything was cooked and packed with so much love and care it was touching and it overwhelmed our hearts!!! THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!!”

“Nanding's Bakery is an absolute gem for anyone who loves fresh local baked goods. From the moment you walk in, you can tell it is a special place. All of the employees were very friendly and welcoming, which really adds to the overall experience.

As for the food, every single one of the baked goods we tried tasted amazing. They are fresh, soft, and clearly made with care. I highly recommend getting their ube flavored goods. They are the standout items and are some of the best ube treats you will find anywhere. This is a perfect five-star spot for a quick snack or to pick up a box of treats for the family!”

“The Filipino deserts app has mold. Brought these to a party and thank God it was discovered by my guests at the party. Called to get a refund and below me off as a joke. Mind you my wife and I live one hour away and demanded that we bring back the product that was purchased back to them to inspect. I have been purchasing deserts from them for over 35 years and spend a lot of money. So sad and no accountability and glad no one got sick. I will be letting the San Bernardino health dept know of this crooked establishment not following State and court health codes.”

“Really great food at great prices! A great neighborhood place to eat at or to grab a smoothie or milk tea! 😉”

“Was...ok. Food is reasonably priced and good portion sizes, staff is super friendly and really on top of getting the order in and out.

The food was just kinda...bland, even the sausage didn't have alot of flavor. The eggs seemed to have 0 seasoning.

Not sure i would stop again.”

“The absolutely best in the area we loved it drive two times just to get this amazing shave ice 🍧 nice and friendly staff they sell they own merchandise as souvenirs”

“You can also eat in the store, but they give you food in disposable containers. After ordering, it was so large that I had no choice but to go, so it was convenient for customers. I ordered one serving of the special set and kimchi pancake, and 2 adults and a 3-year-old child ate it together. I packed the leftover rice and side dishes well and was able to eat until breakfast. When you order a dish, you can choose four side dishes, including kimchi, seasoned seaweed, stewed potatoes, japchae, seasoned bean sprouts, seasoned cabbage, etc. All four we chose were delicious and both the ribs and kimchi pancakes were excellent restaurants. It was the most cost-effective and satisfying meal during my trip to Hawaii?”

“The food is ABSOLUTELY delicious! The service is efficient and courteous. It is, however, a food truck and once you get your food, you can take it to go, or eat outside using the adjacent seating braving the elements (including some rather brave birds, and very pesky flies).”

“I ordered the Frida Taco Supreme — three tacos with steak and shrimp, topped with fresh pico de gallo and guacamole — and every bite reflected care, balance, and real technique. Paired with the red and green habanero salsas and finished with a smooth, well-executed flan, the meal was satisfying, properly portioned, and right on point for Hawaiʻi’s market. Frida’s Taqueria delivers quality, authenticity, and value without trying to be something it’s not. This isn’t Mexican food. It’s Mexican cuisine. And in Waipahu, Frida’s Taqueria is doing it right.”

“I had a Baby shower on Feb 23 2025
For 135 guest. Held at Tech Park Mililani. Russel the owner is excellent to worked with. Any questions u have he gets back to u in a timely matter. He follows up and any needed adjustments he follows thru.We picked 5 main entree..noodles..garlic chicken..beef broccoli..shrimp tempura..and rice ..Mac salad..toss salad came with the entrees also included the paper goods. Because I had 135 guest I had free delivery with a server. They set up and breakdown in timely matter. Everyone enjoyed the food. Excellent service..would definitely recommend them”

“I arrived at 11 am and they were already sold out on all their food except for the beef stew, so I bought the beef stew with once scoop of rice and macaroni salad and green salad, which came to $11. The server was very nice in explaining about what she got left and she gave so much that I was barely able to finish and the food was very good. This is a definitely a hidden cheap eats gem in Waipahu.”

“Few parking spots right in front of the store. Large bento ($13)or small bento. They had spam musubi ($3), some maki sushi rolls and cone sushi. You can order ahead. Open til sold-out.”

“I always get their pork adobo fried rice omelet when I'm visiting the island. It's always good. 👍 The parking lot gets packed during peak hours so be prepared for it. The employees have approachable demeanor.”

“Amazing food and service. Been around a long time and still great”

“Great value for the food! Good customer service too! 😄”

“Love it <3!”

“Great prices for the quality! A+ all around! Definitely recommend! 5 ⭐️!”

“Tried this place for the first time and I’m hooked—sisig has officially become my new favorite dish. It looked just like the photo, but tasted even better. Perfect balance of fresh, savory flavors with crispy bits and tender pork. Absolutely delicious and highly recommend!”

“I have lived in Northern Thailand for over 15 years and my husband is Thai, so I feel its safe to say I have tasted some amazing Thai food over the years. Thai Village ranks right up there with the best of the best. The Larb Pork tastes just as my favorite street vendor made for me in Mae Hong Son province. Staff are friendly and the food is AMAZING. I definitely recommend it.”

“They kept the same service of ordering your food first, pay, provide a number so your food can be served to you, when you find your own table. Employees pretty friendly, the atmosphere is family feel.”

“I had the garlic shrimp and kalbi plate. It was super delicious and warming. The ladies in the truck were lovely as well, answering my questions, and giving me extra kambi without me asking!

It was full on raining whilst I was getting my food at around 2pm. So I ate my food in the car, but that didn’t bother me much.”

“Great waitress, very friendly! Also, wonderful food!”

“Hey gotta say I really enjoyed my butter garlic shrimp ramen!! Bok choy, bean sprouts, lotsa egg and even Kim chee!! And the shrimp was yummy! 🤤😋”

“Not only is this bread incredible, the uncle behind the bread is just as incredible. I can’t speak highly enough of this man and product. Please please give him a try, it’s well worth your time and money.”

“#foodboner #kanakattack #roastbeast #jewssotasty #subvanillashake”

“Authentic Nepali Food in the City with reasonable pricing..Momo ( Dumpling) is one of the best..
Make sure you call the owner before you drive as Location varies.”

“Costco Food Court delivers unbeatable value with tasty favorites like the $1.50 hot dog and soda combo. The pizza is cheesy and satisfying, while the chicken bake is a savory, filling option. Fast, budget-friendly, and crowd-pleasing.”

“👍🏽 thumbs up for this place. I love how it’s strategically located close or walking distance from home.”

“My family always loved going here, excellent Puerto Rican food, great service. Highly recommend everything on the menu, you can't go wrong. All time favorite was always the patele delight, love a fried egg 🤙🏾”

“Great vibe, friendly local crowd, got billiards, and karaoke with a current song selection! Bartender and staff treated me and friend with so much respect, had fun!”

“Best tastiest chicken, steak, and special crab potato salad. Luv their lemonade too!
Im addicted to their juicy tasty bribed like flavor grilled chicken & steak is off the charts! That unique crab potato salad is amazing too!
I go almost every week to buy their chicken.”

“The catfish is constantly good always have that when I go there”

“Once again being from Hawaii ,Rockys in WAIPAHU is a must for breakfast and lunch. I've been going to Rockys since I was a kid. The ladies there are like aunties. And the 1 gentleman doesn't talk much but he's a great cook.
She's tucked away on Waipahu Depot St. Old school . Parking on weekends is a little hard to get, but you might get lucky road side.”

“I like their chicken wings/drums adobo. And the pinakbet is good too. Lastly, Empanadas 😀”

“I had kimchi stew and pork belly and it was really delicious! The ribs were especially soy sauce-based, perfect for Korean tastes😆 And the portions were really, really big! For those of you who are in the news, please order one to share.. The unfortunate thing is that eating outdoors can make you food for mosquitoes..ㅠㅠ Everything else was good!!”

“This is the only place in Oahu. I go for Thai food. I’ve been living often on in Thailand for the last seven years and this food is pretty close. Currys are very ono, the staff are very nice and take very good care. The Thai iced tea is worth the caffeine rush.”

“very good food, authentic ilocano food”

“Aunty is the sweetest and gave such good vibes me and my wife ordered the mix plate and shrimp plate worth every penny, one of the best food truck on island. Very ono! Thank”

“We flew in from Australia and we're tired that evening. The owner was very kind and went above and beyond. I had a papaya salad and a green tofu curry with jasmine rice. Great authentic flavors, it hit the spot.”

“Smells so good I had to try them out and I loved it and the vinegar sauce is bomb !!”

“I ordered the chicken combo with 5 wings, regular fries covered in sour cream & onion, and a large sprite. It cost me about 18 dollars. I shared it with 1 other person and we were both full after eating everything!”

“The owner makes sure she gets your order right and is very friendly. The portion sizes here are great. My husband and I were able to eat off one combo plate while also sharing an appetizer. I highly recommend the korean fried chicken plate. Absolutely would visit this location again.”

“We pulled up and the lady was a total welcome to earth. She didn’t speak any English my brother ordered and asked for a spicy sandwich she said they only had regular then I ordered one and she let me order it. Also she just put drinks on our order when we didn’t ask for them. But vibes were high when my brother opened up his sandwich and pulled the jollijew.”

“They can customize their menu according to your wishes too!”

“clean foods.. affordable”

“Fabulous food!! Best in Waikīkī!! The food truck across the street from the convention center. 5 stars!!!! They have a restaurant too!!!”

“The catfish is constantly good always have that when I go there”

“Delicious ice cream and the best waffle cone I've ever had! Berry Baked and Kookie Cookie are bangers.”

“Beef stew was good. This time meat wasn’t as tender as it usually is and was mostly fat vs. meat. Squid luau was good. If you haven’t tried it yet, I recommend trying the squid luau.”

“Fast and easy transaction. On time. Food tastes good, it has that comforting home-made vibe. Not too salty, the sawsawan is perfect. Tried the crispy pata, LK, pansit, chopseuy and kare-kare. Price is reasonable, too. I'll definitely be a repeat customer. 😊”

“This place was so surprisingly good, I'm happy we fell upon it. The food was excellent. Generous portions. Very welcoming and friendly staff. They accommodated our rather large group across two booths. It is definitely an old school diner style but I found it charming. They also gave us fruit snacks and cookies for our kiddos on our way out. I definitely recommend them if you are in the area.”

“BEST “Chinese Food” Restaurant in Waipahu and Vicinities Period!,Dont waste your time going anywhere else.The staff is SUPERB!! They Always try to accommodate you,and depending on your needs,they Always AIM to make You a Happy Customer😃,let Alone their
PROFESSIONALISM,and RESPECT,They have at All Anybody needs to Feel like a Queen or King!! I’m so dead Serious,I back up EVERY WORD I’m Writing here,I Promise You will be a return Happy Customer,Like my Name is Ben🤙🏽🫶”

“We were working in the area and we got a recommendation to try this food truck close by. We walked over and looked the menu and it sounded very good.

We ordered two different plates and they were both made on the spot and were hot and fresh. Both plates were delicious and we would have no issues going back for lunch again.”

“Take out only, clean homey family run okazuya. They are open until they sell out! CASH ONLY! Shoyu hotdog is soooo good, fried noodles with toppings taste just like the old Sato's they took over! Plenty of parking.

Parking: Free parking lot with lots of stalls. Easy to maneuver.”

“I came to Hawai'i on a whim. I just got on a plane and here I am! I stopped at Lanie's because I was starving. I was way too early lol.It didn't matter, the kind people hooked me up with creamed turkey and rice. Man, it was delicious.Thank you to everyone at Lanie's, you are the best!!!!”

“Very good spanish rolls, it's more puffer than Golden Coin's one, more of like texture of a long pandesal, but with the inside is buttery like a spanish roll. Fair price as well, I recommend it.”

“On our most recent trip to Hawaii, we tried your granola and loved it! We brought some home and ordered more online. It's the best granola we've ever had!”

“Very clean and reasonable price ! Lots of selections.”

“Best boba I’ve ever had! I’ve been coming here for months & it’s always consistent!
The workers are sweet & the shop is big enough so you can study or work inside”

“Loads of choices ranging from sushi, bentos, donburis, and noodles to satisfy any Japanese food craving while on a time crunch. It was relatively slow when we walked in, around 5 in the evening on a Friday, and the food came out really fast. Prices were decent as well.

The dynamite chicken donburi bowl was definitely the best thing we ordered. The chicken well seasoned and delicious with a tasty spicy mayo accompanying it on a well portioned bow of rice.
The poke bowl was lacking a little, as it missed a lot of other ingredients such as ogo and even sesame seeds, that make authentic Hawaiian poke, but it was still good quality tuna and had a bit of spice to it.
The spam sushi was good, as my son devoured it and the sushi rice used was made well with a tasty consistency.

The cashier at the counter was polite and didn’t forget to ask us about utensils and if we required wasabi or ginger for our order as well. Want to try other options next time!”

“Searched a local mom n pop shop, came across this for a quick bite, loved it, get the combo, you can split rice and ramen and get 4 gyoza on top of it for about $16 bucks. Got very busy after and they were still able to serve and get food out to everyone probably withing 5-7 minutes. Would come back !”

“Thank you for your attentive and friendly service! Everyone loved the halo halo. Highly recommend for your next party!”

“Good Spot for Cheap and Simple Eats

Nothing fancy here, but the food is solid and the prices are good. If you’re just looking for something simple and affordable, this place does the job. Staff is always nice too, no complaints from me. Great for a quick bite that won’t break the bank.”

“Not as good as it used to be. But good to go to have brunch and take out meals.

Vegetarian options: Fried eggplant, fried eggplant with egg, fish soups with veggies

Parking: Parking right in front of the building. Plenty of parking but when it's busy, you need to wait for parking.”

“Our review of Subway in Waipio. This is near Costco Waipio.
We went for lunch. And we have cold cut combo, spicy Italian. Everything was fresh and made to are liking. The restaurant is clean and the people are friendly. I like subway instead of Jersey Mike's. We will be back. It's worth the money thank you Wes from Hawaii. Mililani Hawaii 2025”

“Convenient location in Waipahu right next to savers. Aunty's ready to welcome you in and give any recommendations. Their crispy gau gee, beef chow fun and steamed fish was all ONO!

Mahalo to you guys!! ????

Definitely recommend”

“For a taco bell - they did almost exactly average. Indoor seating closed by the time we got there, but unlike many fast food joints, it was their actual advertised hours.

Also, I couldn't understand the person on the other end of the fast food intercom cause she kept wearing a mask.”

“So glad dip and dots is here!!!!! So good and such a fun treat. The location is peaceful and relaxing to go after beach. There’s Thai next to it. Rainbow is my fav.”

“My new favorite restaurant! I'm so happy to finally find fantastic Mexican food!!! I will definitely be eating here often!!! The chips and salsa are delicious!!! Chimichanga was perfect! Great staff too!!! #fatgirlhappy :)”

“Other than waiting 10-20 minutes for my order, the Fruity-Pop corn dog was surprisingly very good. Never had a Korean corn dog since Texas Korean corn dog. Good spot for corn dog but just need them to make their order little faster next time. Overall very good spot 👍”

“We ...as in me nd my kids.... Love love.. #COTTONCANDY #PINKBUBBLEGUM #MINTCHOCOLATECHIP ... #MACADAMIACOCONUT #COOKIEDOUGH... ND OTHER FLAVORS WE TRY BUT THOSE R MOST FAVORITES OF ME ND MY FAMILY... ALWAYS GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE...”

“Food was typical Filipino food you can get anywhere on the island, but it's the pandesal and Spanish rolls that people come for. I was dining in, but there was a constant beeping every 5 seconds, so I put on my noise canceling earbuds.”

“I mean, it's a taco bell. They changed their booth seats to those hard wood ones so it's not very comfortable. Restaurant was clean and every time I stop in it is pretty empty in there.”

“My family and friends love Popeyes 🍗 chicken because of the taste and flavor that is best among the rest. Most of all it is highly recommend to all friends and families alike.”

“So happy that you're open...awesome food..husband tried it for the 1st time today...he said hands down the best... Love the tacos♥️👍 We'll be back 😎”

“The orange chicken and garlic chicken were delicious. I get my order without the side of macaroni as it isn’t necessary. The rice and chicken are plenty. Great portions. If the food wasn’t so good, I would have plenty for leftovers.”

“Was super indecisive about lunch today. Came to this shopping center to eat somewhere else but saw this and decided to give it a shot instead and I'm glad I did! The AC was broke so a little hot inside but it's hawaii so not uncommon. I got the 12oz steak plate with noodles 🤤. Noodles and steak were well seasoned, steak was tender and the rice had all the flavor of the steak on top of it. If you're looking for a steak plate place in Waipahu this would be my recommendation!”

“Great food and plenty of food. Lastly if you Love your pork and peas this place has a pretty good-one and I know and Love my Filipino food. You guys should try Shays Filipino Cafe...”

“We love the flavor selections, but seem to always go with our favorites regardless. The butter pecan is so creamy and the chocolate macadamia is rich in the chocolate. Ono.”

“Just like any other McDonald's. The service can be a little bit slow, but the workers are great. The only thing is that when we claim our rewards, it isn't given to us. The drive-thru person said they did not get it, but the points were already taken from our apps. We let it go because it's just a reward, and most likely, it's the computer glitch. We were just a little disappointed.”

“Korean fried chicken was Ono”
