Restaurants in Kailua

“We visited Easyque recently and I’ve been craving the food ever since!! Absolutely everything was delicious! 😋 😍”

“Went to the new location in Kaneohe and the brisket and pulled pork was anazing! I'm giving them four stars because the wait was an hour long wait and my elderly parents were tired and famished by the time food was ready.”

“Fresh, clean veggies, good broths, good selection, not huge, but delicious and healthy. The deep fried Mochi balls were the bomb!”

“Fresh seafood prepared how you like it! Delicious and a must if you are in Maui. I had the Ono in white wine,garlic and butter. Served over Cajun rice. The portions are very generous.”

“A must stop by. Excellent wine tasting. Friendly staff. We were greeted as soon as we arrived. Michael was outstanding. Michael would come by and let us know what we were going to taste. Very knowledgeable about the products. has outstanding customer service. Truly enjoyed the experience and highly recommend it!!!”

“This is Korea ㅠㅠ Be sure to eat the beef stew and ribs!! Eat it twice!!! The boss is also very friendly. The food tastes much better than what I ate in Korea. I can't describe this taste. If I lived here, I would eat all 3 meals a day here haha.”

“The Gnocchi, Caprese, and the Tiramisu!!! Great wine selection too!”

“Snapper was hard to eat. Lobster Bucatini was too salty and hated the gummy claw of the lobster. If I knew it was the claw, I would not have ordered it. Steak Diane and Ribeye & Lobster were great! Truffle fries were amazing! Waiter was nice but hard to understand. Finally, the creme brulle was the absolute best I've ever eaten. It's my go to dessert and this was handsdown the best!!!”

“9/7/24 - This place is absolutely beautiful and awesome. The owner and staff are extremely friendly and helpful. They all have great pride in their work and in the business. I have seen so many businesses in this day and age where the staff do not seem to care about anything but that is not the case here. This is one of those small businesses that help make a difference. I always feel great walking out of here. Our dogs really love it as well. They start getting excited when we are about a block away because they know where we are going. I simply cannot say enough about what the owner has built here. Great job!”

“When I was inside I feel the camels ? where outside waiting ?. This place definitely make me feel in a Middle East . In my personal opinion .
I was with a friend and she explain me the menu.. I found this menu hard to interpret, in my experience. The food was amazing.
I like the decoration and the way the restaurant is setup”

“Wonderful experience, Korean Steak entree was amazing and Fresh Fish entree with macadamia nut pesto was delicious. Excellent service and vibe. Highly recommend.”

“As a first time visitor to the Aloha state of Hawaii I was very impressed with the music, atmosphere, food, and the employees were AWESOME! Our waitress Josslyn was EXTREMELY AWESOME with her services. MAHALO SO MUCH FOR THE BEST RESTAURANT FOOD EVER.”

“Romantic , food was ok ! Butterfish was amazing but the garlic shrimp was only three pieces of shrimp on doughy cheese balls I expected more shrimp or veggies ! Noise in the afternoon not bad ! Presentation good Would have to try more of the menu but will never order the shrimp again”

“Found this place on Google maps while looking for a dinner spot. Was able to get a reservation for a time we wanted. The place was great. We at outside were able to look at Ko'olau during our dinner. All the food we ordered was great. My Chirashi deluxe finally came out after everyone else had finished their meals. Which was a bit disappointing. But the manager did comp our drinks.”

“Great food great time, definitely would go back.”

“This bar is a good street side location, and has an excellent happy hour special each day of the week. You can’t beat the happy hour special prices, $12 for a draft beer and burger/tacos/pulled pork etc. depending on the day, the pulled pork is my favorite. Excellent draft selection of local beers. Dog friendly lanai. Staff are also very friendly. Our favorite place for happy hour in Kailua.”

“I had originally ordered a delivery through DoorDash, but some of my order was missing. I called them and he was so kind and willing to help make sure I was happy.He helped me think of ways to make the problem right, even if it had been on DoorDash, and not on their restaurant. I went to pick up a replacement item and he was very understanding and totally wanting to help make me satisfied. Very friendly staff. And amazing food!”

I will definitely come back to buzzes. I will definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone that comes and visits that ms never been to Hawaii.”

“Stopped here on St. Patrick's Day for lunch after hitting the beach in the morning. Found it by looking up places quick on Google. Had a decent menu and all of our food was good. Was only one waitress in the place - and she did a good job handling how busy it was. Worth a stop by if you are in the area.”

“Wonderful! I placed the order online, and it was to my hotel door in like 20 minutes. And it is delicious! Unlike other locations, they baked my pizza well-done without baking the cheese sticks well-done. A+

Vegetarian options: They have veggies and are very accommodating to all requests.

Parking: It's a big old parking lot shared with the main exchange and the commissary.

Wheelchair accessibility: There are no steps, so wheelchair friendly!”

“been eating here for over 20 years and they are friendly and consistent with everything. best pad thai n cashew nut chicken ever!!!”

“Food is spectacular! The chef’s work is art work. Friend of mine recommended that I try the bruschetta. She also told me to go during their Happy Hour, as their menu is 50% off from 2pm to 6pm. It is definitely a twist from the regular bruschetta you typically imagine. This is like bruschetta on steroids! It was delicious and eye candy.
The restaurant itself is comfortable and inviting, artwork (that you can purchase) adorns the walls and showcases island life and scenes. The iconic Mokulua Islands are featured in a couple of them.
Our waitresses (also bartenders) Macy and Malia were quite gracious and knowledgeable about wines. The kitchen is open and you can watch the chefs as the prepare your meal. I’m definitely going back to try more of their dishes.”

“She was incredibly nice and caring. Throughout the entirety of my life i have Never seen someone so caring before. She even gave me two free cookies for me and my boyfriend after our meal. I've never met anyone so kind before!”

We also tried the Chef’s Special salmon crostini was the best we ever had. The pork Bao buns is to die for!!!! 10/10 for all the food . The drinks were very good also . We will definitely come back . Kailua peeps come down and check them out ..”

“Happy hour pricing was quite reasonable. Three pizzas at $12.00 each fed 4 hungry adults. I was surprised that my wife rated the beer only 6 out of 10. Our server (Stephanie) was FANTASTIC.

Parking: Parking lot around back for multiple retailers.”

“Great place for Mexican food. The service was excellent, and the margarita was delicious. I love their salsa. It coats the nacho chip well. I am ready to go back!!!”

“Aside from great food, Shar who helo us makes this dinner special to celebrate our wedding anniversary and hubby's birthday. Her friendly attitude and helped us to enjoy our food.”

“The open atmosphere and kindness you receive goes a long way in my book! Plus the Coffee and events are fantastic!”

“awesome food, quick courteous service, friendly, good prices, busy but organized, could see the teamwork and they all danced in unison 5.0 stars”

“We decided to grab some coffee before a run, and wanted to do something (hopefully) better than generic Starbucks..what a great choice! The mochas were delicious and just the kick we needed, and the coffee cake was rich in flavor and so yummy. No better spot to enjoy than their comfy couches and chill vibes inside. Very fair price points compared to some coffee joints - and the ladies taking our order and preparing food and drink were simply delightful. Keep up the hard work y'all, you're killin it!”

“Best drive thru coffee on island! The service was spot on and quick, even though we wanted to stay and chat because the aloha is all around this place! Can’t get enough of their cold brew, it’s got something special in it!”

“Hot, fast and always ONO!”

“This store is located at the entrance of the supermarket. I passed by. It is difficult to park the car.
The taste is very very good. This is also a store I would like to visit.”

“This is a better omakase than in NYC, and like many others commented it is on par with Japan. I very much enjoyed here every course, and I highly recommend it. I also appreciated that the premium course had abalone and abalone liver, because that also speaks to omakase traditions.”

“very filling. yum. like the salmon bowl.”

“A small whole in the wall place in same complex as Cinamon's. Metered parking all around. They have tables inside and some outside seating as well. I had the Supreme Dosa which came with choice of chutney and a soup, was delicious reasonably priced but Dosa could have used more spices.”

“Blue Dream Bowl is the best on the island and perfect before a beach adventure. Love the vibes, the mission, the story, the bowls. And yea, our daughter, Rowan, is obsessed with it.”

“Great food very friendly and cost wasn’t bad either will be back for sure highly recommend”

“Great food. Cool atmosphere. Awesome shakes.”

“I literally had the best tacos ever. Ordered 2 birria tacos and they were amazing. It’s true it’s kind of expensive 6.5$ for a taco but don’t buy if you can’t afford. Definitely a treat. They guys were nice too”

“Aloha. Stopped by & had some awesome java & water(for our Pittie girl🐾) & sat outside talkin story & peeps watchin🤙🤙🤙🤙”

“The Food Company is amazing in that it offers an expansive menu, PLUS the best service and kindness in working with special current food restrictions. The food for our recent party with guests from our islands, plus mainland cities and Australia, called for varied tastes. The Food Company offered perfect selections, getting raves!! Everything was delicious. Fair prices and excellent value!!”

“Wonder little scones store, the Mrs loves scones and grabbed one of everything. The ladies were sweet and wonderful and what a nice addition to the community. Probably have enough scones to last all week.”

“Ummm best pancakes ever! Great service also. Thanks 😊”

“I went to Lilikoi Kitchen with a dear friend for brunch over the weekend and was very pleasantly surprised! We were immediately greeted by Laura who told us about the history of the restaurant and the chef’s dream of owning a cafe, and then introduced us to all of the staff there at the time. She listened to my dietary restrictions and helped me select something that I could eat and would love. Everything we ate and drank (PSL was so good, much better than Starbucks) was exceptional. If they started offering mimosas they would be the perfect ladies brunch locale! We will definitely be back.”

“K and K Bbq is a cozy hole in the wall place not too far from the Kailua and Lanikai beaches. A nice family run business and very kind hosts.

Garlic chicken is nice and crispy with a good touch of garlic. Our serving was a little salty but overall delicious garlic chicken. Not a saucy garlic chicken like other places but almost like a dry rub garlic chicken.

Loco moco was delicious too. Paired with their Mac salad and rice, it was a good choice after a day at the beach.

Price is good for the portion size that you get for your meal.

Ample parking in their parking lot but currently no restrooms available. Port a potties located out in parking lot.”

“awesome food especially mahi burger, better than the one at the restaurants. truffle fried were overcooked.”

“This dish was so wisely ordered, it was really delicious. The cake is stuffed with meat, and the taste is very mild and refreshing. The last bite is still delicious.”

“Love this place! Staff are friendly the place is neat and clean and the Acai bowls and smoothies are delicious! The prices are very reasonable, too! A negative is not just having to pay for parking, but actually finding a spot in that area.....it is def worth the time and money!!! My new favorite place in Kailua.”

“This was very high quality ramen perfectly prepared. I got the spicy miso. I was not ready for how spicy it was though! I like spicy so consider yourself warned!”

“Been crushing Bob's for years. Can't be beat.”

“Great spot to get a meal with fresh HEALTHY ingredients. Take out only. Some outdoor seating in front of the location, so you can enjoy a meal with a small group. Their sammies hit the spot! ?

Kid-friendliness: Kid's menu options

Wheelchair accessibility: It is located at a strip mall that has handicap parking with buffer zone (if it's available). Ramps leading onto the walkway along the structure.”

“아사히볼 맛있어요 !!”

“It tasted different from FLORIDA.but other wise it okay”

“Stepping back into Kalapawai Market is like revisiting a cherished chapter of my childhood. As a kid, I have countless memories of enjoying breakfast on the front porch with my grandpa, immersed in the early morning tranquility of Kailua. Returning as an adult, with my wife by my side, it was surreal to see that nothing had changed—the market has preserved its charm and continues to embody the true local vibe.

Kalapawai isn’t just a market; it’s a cornerstone of the community where locals cycle or walk over to grab their morning coffee, share a smile, and spread the aloha spirit. It's a place where you can sit outside with your dog, chat with neighbors, and feel a connection to the island life. The market offers everything from your morning essentials to unique finds like stylish shirts, hats, and hoodies.

What makes Kalapawai truly special is its ability to make everyone feel welcome, a hub of joy and community spirit. Whether you need medicine, a quick breakfast, a hearty lunch, or just a moment to relax, Kalapawai has it all. Highly recommend visiting the original market to experience this slice of local paradise firsthand!

Parking: Short amount of parking.”

“We come every time we visit Kailua. Our fav is the cold noodle. Absolutely amazing! We try to get something similar in Las Vegas where we live but cannot even come close!”

“Best fresh chicken sandwich I’ve ever had! Every time I’m on Oahu I make time to get a bite to eat here!!”

“Lovely little place. Delicious food and smoothies. Yummy dessert options too. They do charge you extra surcharge to sit with a group more than 5 (even though there’s no table service) which seems a bit dodgy!”

“Had a couple beers. They were very good.”

“Food was Very Good. Price was Reasonable. Muchas Gracias from Us.”

“This is a solid takeout spot with good poke. There are spots to sit and eat outside. Make sure you ask about their ingredients. I discovered peanuts in their Thai basil poke after I started eating it and sharing with my son who has a peanut allergy. We had to rush to get some allergy meds afterwards so be careful.”

“Boba shop with a multitude of choices, a claw machine, and merch in the back that adds to the fun of being here.The staff is helpful and friendly and the Bobas we got, Mango Pomelos Sago and Midnight Tea, were delicious. I liked the brulee cheese foam on the Midnight Tea.Definitely coming back here.”

“Most excellent food! Had the homemade lasagna. A very generous and delicious portion! I talked to Frank and his wife Kelly while I waited. Great people! Highly recommend!!”

“The Elderberry syrup is the absolute best I’ve had and the cocoa immunity elixir was magic mood boosting mylk that I’m still thinking about weeks after drinking it.”

“Enjoyed the pastries we bought. My wife loved the spinach bread. I love supporting locals and will continue to come here when I'm in Kailua. I just wished they didn't sell out so early.I had the chocolate donut which had the perfect chewy consistency and the chocolate was nice and rich. I'd definitely eat a few of those the next time.Support local and swing by this small bakery that's been around since the 90s.”

“breakfast of Champs! go get some!”

“If you are REALLY HUNGRY, this place will serve you well. I ordered a bbq chicken dish, there three large chicken meat with some veggies, macaroni, two scoops of rice. Quality wise it was OK, not very special but not bad at all. Just a bit salty...”

“Iconic diner with big portions of plate lunch foods. Mac salad is ono. Kalbi is my favorite. And the crab Rangoon are really tasty! This photo is not to pretty. The Chicken Katsu curry style was very good, but no one liked the fried fish sandwich.”

“I always get the same thing: burrito bowl. It’s a good sized portion and great deal for this area. Pinto beans, rice, tofu, two salsas, lettuce, lime, cilantro. The staff working the line is usually young. I haven’t asked questions, so don’t know how good they are about food knowledge.”

One of the girls did gave us a free croissant for that. I don't know why the girl keep saying teh Tarik when I ordered Teh C, had to confirm again and again.kaya toast tasted correct though.”

The pork satay was full of flavor and a lot of food!

The restaurant was quiet and peaceful.”

“Wonderful bubble waffles ice cream, my new favorite ice cream shop!”

“Came by for some roast pork at dinner time. Staff was efficient even on a busy night and people were being helped quickly. Roast pork had good flavor but wasn't quite as crispy as I like, I think they get a pass for being so helpful on such a busy day. Looking forward to coming back to try more of the menu.”

“Good food. Fast service. Short staffed, no one came to check on us but we were ok. Cold inside restaurant, need to turn AC down!”

“Food was great, good experience with the staff on this location, was hoping to try the ube napple but they didn't know it ran out before placing my order :( gave me two of the regular one to make up for it.”

“I honestly love this place! It’s such a nice treat. I would go more often but since raising their prices AND decreasing the quantity of salad toppings it’s been very discouraging for a customer who has seen great quality slowly get reduced in quantity. I ordered the goddess salad for the first time because I was craving avocado and the goddess dressing. This salad does not come with a meat protein. I added chicken to it which turned it into a $20 salad. That fine, I’ll will happily pay for good quality. When I got home to eat it I was very disappointed. There was hardly any of the ingredients. This wasn’t even half of an avocado. Reference pictures to see how advertised vs how I was served. I didn’t eat anything yet when this picture was taken. I just dug through the the lettuce to see if there were any ingredients hidden. Sad to say there was not….”

“Kailua location on Kuulei Road is horrible. Hardly ever get my order correct, drive-tru lines are crazy long. Always seems to be short staffed.”
