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!”

“First time and ordered the Steak Basilio / Shrimp Scampi. It is sooo delicious ❤ easy 5/5. I think I know where I’ll be getting my pasta with steak and shrimp whenever I’m craving it 😉”

“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.”

“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!”

“AAAAAAAA+”

“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.”

“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”

“Is Soo good”

“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.”

“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 !”

“our service Lisa truly went above and beyond to make our Chili’s experience special. we loved her! super kind and funny and on it with everything. thanks Lisa!”

“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.”

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

“The food was soo good (: we drove from Haleiwa and it was so worth it I got the spicy tonkotsu my fiance had their aji ramen and their mini chicken katsu curry everything was 10/10 including their service super attentive and nice ppl. We also got to try their honeydew boba shave ice 😋”

“Fried fresh donuts. Crispy, soft snd crunch from the sugar. Must eat them fresh, not great later. I've tried every combo and my fave is original with custard and li hing sugar or plain sugar.”

“I specially went to Aloha Island Manapua bc I saw online that they make the fried ginger chicken plate on rice. I will say that they’re is better than Island Manapua in Manoa. Manoa’s was extra salty. The Waipahu location also gives more chicken & rice for $15 something. Their ginger onion sauce was dry and not liquidy and was heavy on the green onions, less ginger. Kinda weird ratio of ingredients. See from the photos.”

“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! 🤙🏼”

“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 !!!!!”

“Spanish rolls are always the best and served warm. Great to give for office staff or take to parties!! Variety of different pastries and even quick grab lunch items!!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!!!”

“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).”

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

“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”

“Great Filipino restaurant to dine in or take out! Food taste authentic, amazing and the staffs are very friendly and hospitable. Highly recommended for anyone who likes to try and enjoy authentic Filipino foods!”

“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”

“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!!!”

“solid sisig dito grabe!!!!”

“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.”

“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.”

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

“We had a great experience at the yellow food truck! The service was super fast, the food was delicious, and the portions were huge. Everything came out fresh and there was definitely plenty of food for the price. Quick, friendly service and generous portions, definitely worth checking out!”

“Love it <3!”

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

“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!”

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

“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.”

“Chita is a wonderful server, very sweet, efficient, makes sure we have everything we need. Other staff are polite and friendly too.

You can sign up for the wait at the front desk using your phone and your name appears on monitor to indicate when you’re up.

Plenty of free uncovered parking next to a gas station.

The coffee is super tasty and the food perfectly prepared with a nice portion! My favorite is the sweet bread French toast combo- comes with choice of egg and choice of meat.

This Zippys is super clean, spacious, lots of booths, and nice selection of pastries.

Plus we love the Hawaiian music which not all Zippys have.

This will be our go-to from now on!”

“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.”

“My friend and I were looking for places to visit during our stay on island. The front associate, I don't know her name, was extremely friendly and kind even though we did not buy anything.

She provided us some great recommendation for clothing stores and sights to see!

Many thanks!”

“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!!”

“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 👌😋😍”

“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.”

“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👋”

“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!”

“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.”

“Came here just to try the double fried chicken, because of the poster posted outside. Then ordered the beef salad just so it's not the only thing that I ordered, plus to add veggies to my dinner.

Well, for the beef salad price, I was disappointed with the size and that I only have 4 slices of cucumber, although the beef tasted really good.

The double fried chicken just tasted ok with the chili sauce, but the skin was kinda crispy. I was not that disappointed though because I think it was fair price.

I was there too for quite awhile so maybe for take out order, may need to make it a phone order.

I do like the restaurant ambiance and that it's very neat.”

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

“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.”

“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!”

“We love Jolibee. Hardly have any issues and always have trust with the order which we never had to doublecheck. I asked for mashpotato but cashier rang me fries. Either way, we love Jolibee”

“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”

“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”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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 !”

“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. 😊”

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

“Cosy atmosphere and nice desserts 🧁 🍮🥤”

“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.”

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

“Gr8 place for an inexpensive lunch. Food was 👍, but the spicy pork wasn't that spicy. My dinner place was awesome. Kauyuk had the perfect amount of 5-spice. They were generous w a whole bowl of sweet sour spare rib sauce when I asked for some. Took off 1 star for atmosphere bc they desperately need new benches; even the duct tape is worn out.”

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

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

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

“This is my 1st time tasting these. I got the blended matcha for my sons with 0% sugar and they really liked it. I got the coffee milk tea & it wasn't bad just wasn't that strong. Will definitely go back to try other flavors.”

“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.”

“Today I got to try the Garlic Chicken Plate for $12 and it was very tasty and they gave so much that I had enough to have as lunch and save some for dinner. Also, they are very helpful and friendly.”

“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.”

“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)”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”
