Restaurants in Kapolei

“I’m visiting Hawaii from the mainland. I saw that they had my favorite cookie this week… the churro cookie. It had so much flavor and was baked so well. I recommend coming here if you miss Crumbl.”

“Flippin’ delicious poke bowls! Super fresh, all kinds of flavors, and the garlic rice was 💣. Just another amazing local lunch spot that’s off the beaten path, but should be on everyone’s short list.”

“Delicious flavor selection for both shave ice & ice cream. Staff is very down-to-earth & helpful when I asked about gluten-free options. Thanks for the amazing service, Gary & team!”

“Located at the Four Seasons Hotel in Ko Olina, this restaurant does not disappoint. A selection of Italian food with some Hawaiian influence, this romantic spot is perfect for an elevated dinner and wine... Hawaiian style.”

“Always love the food and service here. The fries are my favorite on the island!”

“Food is great, need dining area though.”

“Aunty and her employees are always so nice and welcoming. As the face of the restaurant, she doesn't disappoint with her constant smile and infectious laughter.

The restaurant has converted to an AYCE menu wich is reasonably priced and they kept their more famous appetizers on the menu as well.

Can't forget to save room for that shaved ice at the end!”

“burger was amazing. grilled mushrooms and onions were perfect. burger was bursting with flavor. and the tots were a perfect crispiness”

“found this little gem and so glad I did! Poke is soo good and fresh with lots of topping options. When in KoOlina you must stop in for some Poke.”

“It's fun and kids love dancing with Chuck E. Cheese & with awesome food.”

“Good food and nice people. Great local experience!”

“Denny’s Kapolei has friendly staff and give great service all hours of the day ! One of the few place open late and that is awesome! Prices are decent and burgers are fantastic !”

“Quick, beautiful, delicious. The perfect place for lunch or dinner, even breakfast if that's what you're into. Each serving is filling and worth every penny.”

“I'd prefer this place for sushi any day👏🏽 they are very welcoming through service. Although the wait times are longer depending on the rushes- you won't be disappointed!

Atmosphere could use some work, only because for us Polynesian people, especially are bigger than Asians so its an adjustment when you need to walk up and in the way of ppl who phone order + the workers. The walkways are really petite.

Food is 10/10😋 super tasty & FRESH! thank you!”

“By far one of the best meals my family and I ever had. The canoe appetizer was off the charts and the meals were even better. The ahi tuna and both the 16 is cab steak and the wagyu A-5 6oz was incredible and the desserts were even better. Highly recommend”

“Excellent food! Quality ingredients crafted with care.”

“Knocked off stars because I ordered two servings of fresh spring rolls, but they placed fried spring rolls in my takeaway order.
Other than that, the food is good quality and they seem to be popular for takeaway since their eating area is small with no view .”

“We highly recommend Moani island Bistro.The owners have created a wonderful choice of food and all of the staff are awesome! Their food was delicious and the wait staff especially Raina and the two brothers that work the bar were so much fun. The owner came out and introduced herself. We loved it so much we went three times on our stay! 10⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Ono good! Great times! Just super chill!”

“This place was highly recommended, and the service we got was fantastic. Amanda (Tabs momma) was an absolute gem of a human, and this is by far the best anniversary dinner we’ve ever had thanks to her ❤️ Would give a million stars if possible!!”

“Nice/cozy restaurant with great foods.”

“The Sunday Buffet was amazing. The service and food are amazing and theblocation outside with music was perfect for a breakfast in January. Will definitely go again when we come back to the island.”

“Affordable price for buffet lovers. Valet parking is reasonable... Lots of choices to choose from... all you can eat for a price you will never regret...”

“Everything at Manalo Lounge was fantastic. We had drinks, the Ora King salmon sashimi, Dragonfly hand roll, crab fried rice, and the Ora King salmon large plate — each dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The standouts were the salmon sashimi and the salmon large plate — just wow. Both were prepared perfectly and absolutely melted in your mouth. Service was attentive and professional, and the cocktails were creative and well balanced. The atmosphere was stylish yet relaxed, and even our tough crowd was thoroughly impressed. We'll definitely be back.”

“Holy canoli the food was delish! The fish tacos were so yummy and the Kapli Fries were so flavorful! I loved how they really loaded up the fries with meat and sauce.”

“Amazing, fun, exciting experience! The show was spectacular! Such a great way to spend an evening in Aulani. The food was not bad, they brought a bento box for my daughter so that was great. The drinks were really good and the bartenders were friendly, approachable, and even remembered my drink order after the first time!
I believe you can start making reservations as early as 6 months. We did the preferred seating, your seats are already assigned. Meaning, doesn't matter how early you arrive you won't get a better seat. Seating goes by when you ordered your tickets, so purchase the tickets as soon as possible. We did get front row seats so it worked out. We also did get there early and we're first in line. There are a few activities that take place so getting there early is probably the better idea.”

“Such a beautiful resort and the food is amazing at Longhi’s!”

“We stumbled across this gem in Kapolei on the 4th of July. Attached to the Embassy Suites hotel, it's very cute & well maintained with nice decor. But the food is why you come. We had wagyu steak so tender & beautiful it was an experience like no other. The poke was fresh & delicious. The service was attentive. We enjoyed it thoroughly. Can't wait to try it again!”

“Would like to thank Raye for her awesome recommendation..she is the best waitress I ever encountered.”

“Good food and drinks … nice ambiance… friendly staff”

“Out of the way from Honolulu but worth the trip. Entertained from pick up to drop off. Performance was very well done. The dancing, food is amazing and the fire finale was the icing on the cake. The really make you feel like family and share their culture with you”

“there soup is onolicious”

“hot fresh tasty food fast!”

“Loved the BEAST eggs Benedict, pancake flight, and furikake spam and eggs plate! Huge portions for a great price! Definitely worth the drive from town, but be prepared to wait if it’s crowded! This place is popular for a good reason—great food and great service!☺️”

“We had such an amazing time at the hotel in Ko Olina! The service there was truly exceptional, exceeding all our expectations. We're already looking forward to coming back for another visit!”

“The baristas are always pleasant, friendly, and efficient. I prefer CBTL drinks and food over the "other guys" and the Makakilo location is top notch. Order my bevvies, grab some poke and lechon from the deli, then the drinks are ready when I'm done. Perfect.”

“I ordered a cake for my mom’s birthday today and it was amazing! It looked better than the inspo pics I shared and tasted just as amazing. Great to work with and extremely communicative. Will be ordering again when I come back! Highly recommend!”

“Warm and friendly staff with tasty food, a perfect combo!”

“I ordered the large size pho and it was good but the mango smoothie did not taste anything like mango at all. Service was super quick. Nice place for a family dinner.”

“This is the second time I have ordered a cake from them and it will not be my last . The cake turned out exactly how I wanted it and it was delicious! I highly recommend them .”

“Face it... Jersey Mike's employees are the friendliest, but this group of workers were definitely having fun and the energy was overflowing effervescent lead by the manager down.”

“A quick, easy and ono grub!👌”

“We went here twice for breakfast while staying at Aulani. It was a cheaper option, and the food was wonderful. The bacon jalapeno fried rice hit the spot without breaking the bank. We shared the fruit pancakes with that and were very satisfied. We walked, but there were a few parking spots.”

“Best go to when in Aulani”

“Outstanding food. Good enough to convert a member of our party to a ramen lover, and he didn’t stop talking about it all week. We all highly enjoyed our bowls. The tonkatsu was extremely delicious.”

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

“Amazing burgers! It’s also nice to have a beach view and friendly service. A bit pricey but that’s Disney.”

“Favorite place to go on island for drinks. Always keeping it classy 🍻 Great prices and great selection of games to play too.”

“Love having lunch here! Amazing service and friendly laid/back vibe. MarilouA was beyond wonderful, we came here multiple days for lunch during our trip, the food was delicious, views were perfection overlooking the lagoon and we can’t wait to come back next time!”

“Amazing service! Super friendly and fast service. Greeted with a smile even though they were vey busy and had a line out the door. I see why they’re popular! Stay amazing!!🩷”

“First time here. Awesome atmosphere away from the busy lifestyle. Laid back. Golf course is your view. Friendly staff. The food servings are huge. Restrooms! Good restrooms.”

“First time for my family visiting Kapolei area. We ordered 1 10 Inch 8 piece B.O.P. special, 1 full oder open face sandwich, 1 order 15 piece baked chicken wings. 4 clam chowders.”

“2nd to None.”

“I was at Best Buy for a while before learning I'd be waiting for techs to personalize my purchase which could've taken up to 4.5 for them to get to. Supervisor Alondra suggested I go to a Saimen place, La Tour & another place. I walked over and into La tour. The menu looked great! I saw a roast beef dip sandwich I may have chosen but when I saw a "Falafel" sandwich I was very intrigued as I never saw this on any menu at a casual restaurant in Waikiki area. OMG...that sandwich was 😍 unexpectedly⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Impressive! 😋😋 It had noodle shaped crisp (white color) pieces of pickled turnip ( I think that's what it tasted like- please confirm or correct me?) and same shaped carrots, a perfect amount of tasty-sweet & slighty spicy sauce on a outer layer of thin crisp (perhaps it was slightly toasted?) but soft inside, square edged sub roll? I still have a little over 1/2 left! Love Falafels but am used used to the normal style of it served with a cool creamy sauce (maybe cucumber) in a toasted Pita bread. This seemed like an Asian style spin off! If they deliver in Waiks, I will likely order it again as it's Too far/expensive via car to travel there. The cold brew coffee was good also and I tried "Oat creamer" for the 1st time and liked it! Thank you ladies for the very friendly service 😊 ( I was a host at CF for almost 9yrs,😉 and also trained many hosts.) and it was my first time ever "Eating in Public" (as it also wasn't a planned adventure) and taking off my mask. People were over 10 ft away and 12 feet away from my table. more people did line up for take out as I stayed for at least an hour until almost 4pm-ish.”

“Visited this place twice and enjoyed it both times. Their menu suggests a recommended extra topping for each ramen, which I think is worth the extra 2 dollars or so. The first time, I had a chicken soup ramen with wontons and chili oil (the extra topping). I enjoyed the wontons and the fried onions. The spicy ramen went well with the calpico drink I got, which was sweet with a yoghurt flavor. The second time, I had calamari appetizer with spicy mayo, and the tanaka classic ramen with parmesan cheese powder (the extra topping). It had a very creamy tonkotsu broth with char siu pork and lots of fried onions as well. The cheese mostly sank to the bottom of the soup but that was alright. The food is on the salty side but quite delicious overall. Had a strawberry ramune with that, which is a soda with a marble covering the top.”

“Great outdoor pool bar. Small and intimate. Bartenders were very attentive. There is a lunch and dinner menu offering depending on the time of day. We just to happen to have been there at dinner time. The menu is small but impactful! Lots of yummy choices! We opted for the nachos and short rib Bao buns! BOTH DELICIOUS!!! This is the place to go in the evenings after dinner to have a couple cocktails and take in the surrounding scenery. Just so beautiful and relaxing!If you’re feeling like something sweet. Ask for the ice cream sandwich from the kids menu!!! YUM!!”

“Fresh fish, and it has so many options, so ono...”

“I really love the sushi here especially their lemon drop roll, the only problem I have is that its just a little cramped in the restaurant making walking by other guests a little hard.”

“First time here for this local resident! I've driven past this intersection for decades and have no idea when this business popped up. Great location, parking, outdoor seating (kid and dog friendly), and a solid, healthy menu. I had the vegetarian burrito with tofu, and scarfed it down before remembering to take a picture. That's how good it was. A trickier proposition when it's raining, but that's also when the flies leave the area.”

“After a long day of traveling we came here exhausted and starving. The atmosphere was nice, service was amazing and the food was excellent. We got the steak, garlic ship and the west side burger. Everything was delicious, we ate it all up!!!”

“This was a recommendation from our hotel and we came back two more times. It is a pleasant quiet neighborhood. We ate inside twice and outside once which I we preferred. My wife enjoyed the “Westside Burger” which she enjoyed. On other nights she had the excellent fish and chips and a very good pasta dish. I had some rather disappointing fish tacos but the next two nights I really enjoyed the “Bouillabaisse “! Our servers were excellent. The only disappointment was our passing up the great Bakery items on display.”

“This is the first coffee I want to drink without creamer. It is so smooth and tasty. I just received my order so I can enjoy it every morning. ��.”

“Love this place! Drinks are always super delicious and the staff is very friendly! Sooo yummy❤”

“Local fav!! Love, love, love! Must have whenever I come home”

“Good food and great price. Food is always consistent. Staff/owner are always delightful and helpful.”

“Ono food made fresh at a great price!”

“hot fresh tasty food fast!”

“I like that the (friendly!) workers pay attention to a sweetness level request and actually honors it.
Not really a place to sit inside to enjoy the drinks.”

“9/2024
Got a quick order for takeout at this convenient location in Kapolei. Combo Tonkotsu Ramen with side gyoza and side beef curry. Great value for under $20. Can't go wrong. Sorry, I didn't take a pic, but it was worth it. Give it a try! ??”

“Takeout only. Get your freshly made bento here. The price is great and it's delicious!

I got the spam musubi and the ume onigiri along with their poke bowl.

Great spot to just grab lunch for later that day.

They do have military and senior discounts on the weekends.

Overall a great spot to grab the lunch to go.”

“Friendly service! Thank you for $1.31 ice cream!�”

“Nice tea flavor. Boba had a good texture. Even though only 1 person was working, our drinks came out relatively quickly. We got 75% sweet because we don't like it too sugary, but I think the drinks would have actually been even better with the normal 100% sweetness.”

“These are delicious! I can't wait to get more again sometime, since I had to share these with my family.”

“Jed’s grinds is one Bangah! Ho broke da mouth and the not broke the pocket cuz it’s cheap and it’s onoz! Service from the aunteh was good and food came out pretty quick and fresh. 10/10 would come again when in the area… ??”

“I LOVE this restaurant! The food always hits, I always get the chicken taquito plate but Ive tried others like the steak burrito or steak quesadilla and they are soo good. Also, the workers are always so nice and welcoming!! Please try them out, trust me :))”

“The food was splendid mhm mhm 10/10 would recommend. The people there are so friendly and cool looking #slayy”

“The bowl was very good! Love the variety of ice-cream and fresh fruits!!”

“We had just ate at Teriyaki Madness in Newark NJ about 2 weeks ago, so when we saw it here on our vacation we decided to stop. Food was amazing, service was awesome. We got chicken potstickers, crab rangoon and teriyaki bowls. I’m very picky about my teriyaki and this was fantastic! Highly recommend!”

“I ordered 5 different flavors for a birthday party and it was a hit. No leftovers at all! Personal favorite is the garlic Parmesan and the honey mustard! Amazing service, 10/10 recommend. Will be ordering again!”

“Warm and friendly staff with tasty food, a perfect combo!”

“I went to El Ranchero for dinner right before their Friday event. The ambience was nice, the restaurant has a vibe. A lot of people at the bar enjoying their pre party prep 🙃 I ordered beer and their birria tacos! 🌮 It was delicious! They serve chips and salsa as well. I didn’t stay for the party but I have heard good things about their events, so I do recommend! For chips&salsa, a glass of beer and the tacos my bill was $29. Not bad at all!”

“2ppl menu choice/loads to eat/ice cream was just the right dessert/ Server was awesome help”

“Food and service were great”

“A quick, easy and ono grub!👌”

“Don't get me wrong, 4 star on food is just because seems weird to rank fast food at 5 stars. Maybe if I could rank 4.5...

Anyhow, great service, chicken sandwich was ono, waffle fries and Chick-fil-A sauce always enjoyable. I dined in; when I was there it was a nice and chill atmosphere. For generally being younger, workers are pleasant and polite.

I shoulda got the shake, shucks...”

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

“Local fav!! Love, love, love! Must have whenever I come home”

“Best food we have had on O’ahu! Wings, burgers, and pizza were amazing. Friendly staff and patrons make this place a must stop while here.”

“Friendly, cheap, and tasty. Popular with the locals—lots of regulars.”

“Best food truck I’ve ever eaten from! I’m a western New Yorker, we cook and/or put hot sauce on everything. Not fully understanding all of the menu options, the owner, was so friendly, offered information about the types of fresh food he had and even offered us samples of the Ahi poke. Once a nay sayin skeptic, I’m now a true believer in raw fish as an amazing meal. I can’t say enough about how tasty this food was. We also had the Shrimp Tempura, Ahi Katsu and Limo Oi’o. All were absolutely some of the best food we had in over a week in Hawaii.”

“My husband and I enjoyed the adults only area so we frequented this bar. The drinks were good, it's easy to lose track on a hot day. I didn't have any food here. Staff were friendly.”
