Restaurants in Waipahu

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

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

“Tried this place on a whim after seeing it often when I crave Italian food on Uber Eats and lemme tell you this place didn't disappoint. While I was a tad dismayed at the prices on first glance I saw a ton of food in every dish so figured yolo and order something unique. I got the fried ravioli and the cheese sticks as I haven't had either one in years and figured it was a good benchmark. When the food came I was pleasantly surprised the pictures from a few months ago matched the amount in the boxes and was super stuffed in both cases. I was super intrigued by the sauce as I have never seen an orange ish sauce be so thin before. Originally I thought this was Italian dressing with vinegar but now I can't say for certain but this really elevated what could've been a plainer thing had it been marinara instead. Flavor was super clean yet seasoned well in both cases with both offerings offering the amount of airy crisp I love and hardly see in places like this. I really want to try the rest of their offerings if this is the benchmark for what this place is gonna be. Also, if you order on DoorDash or Uber eats, it's free delivery so you can't really complain. Definitely gonna add this place to the rotation. I'm gonna try to visit this place in person very soon. Thank you so much.”

“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.”

“AAAAAAAA+”

“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”

“Changed it up and came down to this old timers spot for a couple drinks after dinner🤙

Free karaoke on Saturday so the regulars were already there singing their favorite songs. Bartender and server was friendly, generous pupus to help downing the affordable shots. A place where all the regulars make you feel welcomed in the heart of Waipahu. 4 stars.”

“Is Soo good”

“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”

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

“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 :)”

“The best Panang on island … amazing customer service … I love coming here … twice in less than 2 weeks drove for this little cute spot at the Outlets ! I love yummy Thai food !”

“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.”

“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.”

“Great food, good service , comfort food”

“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 !”

“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.”

“I've been going here for years and love it in a pinch when my normal haunts are packed or closing aunties make it super fast and the portions are solid. The one thing I'd say I always notice is that the veggies tend to condensate and slightly pool depending on what you get especially the shoyu potato. I guess another is sometimes post Covid I noticed they kinda slow down on the rice depending on when I go. I love heaping rice so I'd definitely want more consistency between visits but none of these are enough to stop me coming back again and again. I'd definitely say it makes my honorable mention for meat jun easy.”

“Lived up to the hype, this was a social media recommendation. Delicious but we ordered too many and found them less desirable when they are not hot. Get them and eat them in the parking lot.”

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

“Great vibes, great location, wonderful atmosphere, excellent service, and food was amazing!!! Recommend this to your aunt, uncle, great grandfather, and all the cousins!”

“The best manapuas on the island! Absolutely loved all four I tried. Amazing savory and sweet options like the char siu pork and oreo cream! The ginger fried chicken entree is something everyone has to try if you come to Honolulu! Thank you so much for the wonderful food!”

“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.”

“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!!!”

“Really good baked goods!! Friendly place, fresh-baked items, finally a place where they aren’t insanely sweet - really good yeasted cinnamon bread. Many other things to try 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! 🤙🏼”

“This place NEVER disappoints! Not an extensive menu but if you are local or want to eat local they have all the choices you would want. I tried the Portuguese sausage and fried eggs over easy and some of the crispy bacon. Both were so good! It's best that you get there early because when they sell out (and they often do) they shut down. BTW this is a food truck. They're is plenty of parking b/c it's right next to a Costco parking lot.”

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

“No wonder they were featured on Diners, Drive ins and Dives. Great food and sooooo much of it! Had to bring some back to the hotel. Small area to dine in, but it appears many take their food to go, anyway. Staff were really nice. Very authentic.”

“Came here based on the great reviews, and it totally lived up to the hype! The food tastes absolutely amazing, every dish was full of authentic Korean flavor. Service was warm and the atmosphere is cozy. Highly recommend this spot to anyone craving delicious Korean food!”

“Hi!
Mountain Magic Shaved Ice is hands-down one of the best dessert spots around. The place is always clean and welcoming, and the shaved ice itself is perfectly prepared—fresh, fluffy, and clearly made with care. The flavors are absolutely wonderful, with so many options that never disappoint no matter what you choose. On top of that, the customer service is truly amazing: friendly, upbeat, and always making sure you leave happy. Mountain Magic never misses—they’re consistent every single time. Honestly, it’s the kind of place that makes you want to come back every hour because it’s just that good. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a refreshing treat and a great experience.”

“Been seeing this on my uber eats offers for weeks and figured why not try this place in person. While finding it in the lot was a tad hard at first this place is worth it and then some. For a legit hole in the wall spot their menu is definitely the most expansive on the island from nachos to postres and drinks. I ended up getting a carne asada fries, California burrito, and a horchata all benchmarks I use to try places. I debated getting fried ice cream too but I'm glad I didn't pull the trigger since the portions were so massive unlike what pictures and prior reviews mentioned that I was full in no time flat. Taste was impeccable with clear separation of ingredients and proper ratios of everything from sauce seasonings and meat. I loved every second of eating it and it used my remainders as extra salsa for my burrito. As for the agua Fresca you almost always can tell if you know what to look for what is a cheap powder Fresca to one that is either done in house to a keg and I was happily impressed it was nicely made and separated again well. Everything came out super fast and the server was quite nice and we even talked the whole time I was there. For value for a place like this looking at the menu not changing its price at all since pre Covid is quite good in these times and worth a stop if not for the food for the people and the nice dessert selection. Move away serges this place is easily #2 arguably #1 on island in my book and will be for you too!”

“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.”

“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 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”

“Found this place after we had the poke across the street (very good too!) Best huli huli chicken we've ever had!! Super tender and portion is big. The owner is also very nice and welcoming. MUST EAT!!!”

“Went there on a Tuesday about 1130a. There are a few free parking stalls at the store, but there's also free street and other store parking across the street. It's an old style okazuya atmosphere. I bought futomaki...old style flavor that i was looking for. It was quick service and I would come here again”

“solid sisig dito grabe!!!!”

“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.”

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

“Love it <3!”

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

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

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

“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! 🤤😋”

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

“What a beautiful hole in the wall restaurant. Everything was so delicious. I had the Panang curry with chicken. And the double fried chicken such good flavor!! Delish!!

Only down side is that they were out of a few things but figures it’s a small restaurant. Still totally worth the visit.”

“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.”

“The local Hawaiian “chain restaurant“ that offers a wide variety of Hawaiian and Asian themed comfort food entrées. Be sure to sign up for their Zipster’s reward program.”

“Love the “old school” shop vibe and the food servings were generous and onolicious!
It’s a small place so you may consider ordering out, but our wait was worth it. We love supporting local small kine businesses, who offer great food and a welcoming atmosphere. Mahalo Nui!”

“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.”

“100% Super delicious foods 👌😋😍”

“This is a take-out restaurant with delicious Puerto Rican food. The pastele was larger than most had chunks of tender cubed pork. The gandule rice was prepared just how we like it--not mushy or dry, just the right moisture to complement the pastele. My husband and his friend are P Rican and they loved everything, too. The bacalao salad was mixed fresh when I ordered and had the right amount of dressing to flavor the greens. Definitely going back for more.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“I went there from town because I used to live in in Waipahu and I was raised there and used to go to that Rockies once a week but I went there today after 40 years as soon as I walked up, the lady turned the sign and said we’re closed and said Cannot help you because we’re just closed instead of sitting me down and saying hey you’re here already wanna just order CD client and pushes her business away so I will never go there again bye👋”

“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!!”

“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.”

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

“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.”

“First time here.
Their signature milk tea is very good but yes very sweet at 75%. I should've listened to the reviews and got 50% sweetness.
The shop is clean. The view of Pearl Harbor by the tables is very nice. Plenty parking. Very nice staff. Has a old stool Crack Seed Shop feel with the glass jars and the cute toys and claw machines. Definitely will be back.”

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

“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”

“This is our second most visited Jollibee, we normally order chicken from Ala Moana location.. Always clean, Chicken is hot and fresh. Never disappointed when you pickup chicken from this location.”

“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!”

“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”

“clean foods.. affordable”

“The food was great and the people were very kind. It was empty inside but I think it’s because of the noise coming from next door (loud construction). Though, the employees were trying their best to overcome that.”

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

“That was the best damn Thai food I’ve had ever!! These folks greet you with a smile and fast friendly service. I had Summer rolls and Pad Thai, it’s been a long time since I’ve enjoyed eating out so much that I finished my whole lunch! Even my husband was very impressed that I finished all of it. 🤙🏼🙏 Mahalo folks!! 10/10 stars from me”

“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.”

“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🤙🏽🫶”

“A very nice lady with a small section inside of the Waipahu marketplace filled with fresh baked goods. I have purchased quite a few few different kinds of her items. My favorite is her malasadas, and her banana bread. Get them when they first open and they’ll be really fresh. Everything is also reasonably priced.”

“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. 😊”

“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!”

“Cosy atmosphere and nice desserts 🧁 🍮🥤”

“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 !”

“Came here for the first time in a long time. Ordered the pork adobo and pinakbet plate and a side of pork guisantes. For dessert, we ordered halohalo, casscaron, banana lumpia, and bico. Everything was pretty delicious. The pork adobo was super fatty, but delicious and tender. The pinakbet was flavorful, but I wish there were more squash and meat. The pork guisantes meat was pretty tough. The halohalo was huge, but I wish it was a bit sweeter. The casscaron and banana lumpia were amazing.

Staff are super friendly. Lots of table to dine at and a decent sized parking lot. They don’t have a menu and they only serve 1-2 choice plates, no more, but you can order side dishes as well. They said the 2 choice plates are under $20.”

“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.”

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

“Dippin' Dots is one of my favorite desserts. It's a little expensive but totally worth it for it's taste and texture. We visit this shop as a treat for our kids. Because it's located at Waikele you can use the opportunity to go shopping while you're there.”

“probably the best valued, most consistent boba place, no crazy new fancy drinks, just good milk tea 🤙”

“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...”

“The food is really good. Also the place is really clean. Staffs are so nice. Air conditioning is so comfortable. I prefer to go here. It’s cheap and really good prices.”

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

“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.”

“So sorry this was for the Mililani location.

Was so excited at first to buy from here. Then things happened on 630pm June 26th, The lady that was at the counter did not want to bother taking our order. We left and went somewhere else. It made us feel like she was being bothered. She just stood in front of us without a word. The worst experience ever.”

“Restaurant looks old and dated on the interior but food is a good value for the money. I ordered a breakfast plate before 10am and added 2 crispy gau gee and total cost was $8.37.”

“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.”

“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”

“If you have questions about the new menu ask otherwise you may mot get an answer. All around fast food has become exactly that..
Fast food and pretty much in and out. I was fortunate, I asked and I got my answer (new menu took me by surprise) lol. P. S. very excited to get a mini salad back (no regular Ranch though)”

“Excellent Subway 👍 Jocyln & the lunch gals are sliging salami like sandwich ninjas , fast well made sandwich , very clean store . Ignore any bad sabotage 'reviews' - especially if no photos.”

“Went there to check out the play structure. I brought the kids last year and they have grown and matured where I can trust them. Plus they listen better. Only got to play a short time since we came in right before they were scheduled to clean. We will definitely come back.”

“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.”

“My wife is Filipino so I chose here. The pizza was alright, sauce wasn't anything great through, my wife tried a favorite of hers but it didn't compare to her families cooking. The price was great though and portions fantastic. A mini pizza was enough for me but I think I would have been disappointed if I'd gotten a whole one for myself.”

“This is the best place to get more than what you pay for. Got the large combination pho and they dont play around with the portions. They put a lot of meat and provide a lot of veggies to go with it. Broth is a little lighter than what im used to but I could drink the soup. I will say that the summer roll could be better, maybe add more variety of veggies like carrots or daikon? I like the peanut sauce tho. But I will definitely come again.”

“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.”
