Hawaiian Restaurants in Koloa, HI

“Great food and service! So good, in fact, we ate here twice while on the island. Restaurant was clean and comfortable. Prices were very reasonable. Portions were generous enough to share, and still be filling. We even had the opportunity to chit chat with Justin, the owner. Love supporting small businesses like this one.“

“Loved our waiter, but forgot his name. Just wasn't our best meal during our stay, but certainly was the most expensive. Was seeking fresh catch plates but there was only 1 fresh catch fish that day (swordfish). The view and ambiance were still nice tho.“

“I didn’t actually have the poke but probably should have. Their mixed plate was kind of mid, but my friend’s poke looked amazing. It’s in a bit of a strange location, being in the middle of a golf course, but it was speedy — not worth $21 though I will say.“

“Phenomenal poke! Was told it was some of the best poke on the island and it lived up to the hype! I tried 3 versions and the avocado was my favorite but all were simply amazing! Arrive early as they often sell out. They are also closed on Mondays and Tuesdays“

“Our server, Tina, was wonderful. She took great care of us and made the entire evening fun. We were seated on the balcony so noise level was low and view beautiful. Food was back up to the standard of Merriman's of old. Delicious, fresh and attractively served. Good cocktails. We'll be back.“

“Whenever we are in Poipu, we make it a point to have dinner at the Eating House. The food is always good , as is the service. It has gotten a bit pricey as it is everywhere, but it is better for us to share a meal, as our appetites won't allow us to eat a full entree by ourselves anyway.“

“Visited with a party of 8 for breakfast, a were seated in about a half hour. I personally had the Loco Mocco for the first time, it was one of the best breakfasts I’ve had in a long time. Others in the group had the Banana and Macadamia nut pancakes and would also say that they are one of the best things they have had in a long time.“

“We were on our honeymoon and I poorly planned our intentions to visit a Luau so when I called to book they told us we weren't able to join due to the luau being fully booked and a huge waitlist so I sadly hung up. Bummed that I wasn't able to go I was walking with my wife as I noticed I missed a call and when I listened to the voicemail it was (sorry for the misspell here) Poi'hai from Auli leaving a message in hopes that she dialed the right number to inform us that there was a cancellation in the Premier Section and that she would be reserving the spots for us for 30 minutes to honor us since we were on our honeymoon. Once we arrived we were blown away by the atmosphere of the luau! The food was great, the dancers were INCREDIBLE, and the atmosphere was so fun. Next time I come to Kauai I'll be sure to book ahead of time because the moments me and my wife shared on this luau were unforgettable. Thank you again for such an amazing time!“

“My wife and I went to Leongs 3 times while staying in Kauai. If that doesn’t say enough, the food and drinks were delicious. Best Mai Tais we tried on the island BY FAR, plus they’re only $10 during the 3-6pm happy hour! For food we tried the Kalbi Ribs, Fried Shrimp and Chicken Cutlet. They were each a 10/10. The service was excellent. Servers were very attentive and friendly. Our dinner came out in 10 minutes or less. Highly recommend trying this place out on your trip! Bonus that it’s an affordable dinner option on the island.“

“I've been looking forward to trying Puka Dog for months! Now having tried it, I'm definitely satisfied! I had the spicy garlic sauce, mango relish and Hawaiian mustard. The combo was delicious! Because the bun's hole doesn't go all the way through, the sauce pools up at the bottom and my sausage was finished with quite a bit of bread left. The final few bites were way too saucy and wet for me to finish, which was my only complaint. I wish there wasn't so much sauce at the bottom. But the roosters surrounding my picnic table were happy to finish the bread for me.The lineup was quite short; only about 5 minutes. The food came out right away too!“

“My wife and I had a wonderful dinner at Table on a recent Wednesday night, and Jenny was our server! She was so nice, knowledgeable, and accommodating. My wife had the pork chop which she loved, and I started with French onion soup (very good with a very rich taste) and then the baked fish which was fabulous. My only complaint was that the rice that came with the fish was only luke warm at best. The sauce on the plate was fabulous! Great restaurant and Jenny was fabulous, be sure to ask for her!“

“This was near our hotel so we thought we'd give it a try. I'm so glad that we did!! It is an open air restaurant with a Polynesian feel. They had live music (a man and his guitar) that was quite entertaining. We had the coconut shrimp-- very crunchy and sweet-- and the risotto. The seafood risotto had big chunks of fish, shrimp, and lobster. It was delicious!! We liked it so much, we went back the next night. This time we had the nachos-- it's a big tray!-- and the nut-crusted Mahi-Mahi. Once again, the food was superb!! Definitely give this place a try!!“

“Service and atmosphere are great. Quickly seated, and staff were friendly. I bought the mahi tacos which I thought were okay. Everything looked good overall though. Great view of the sunset and surfers.Parking: Parked near Brennecks/Puka Dog restaurants in the adjacent lots. Not too sure how else we'd get to Honu Bar, but we were already lounging on the beach by the turtles so we decided to just walk over. The walk back to the car was a little more challenging given how dark it was, but no issues overall.“

“HUGE portion! We shared between three people. Felt like a more traditional shave ice experience than other shops that have some more interesting / unique toppings. The person working was so friendly and helpful, teaching us about how he prepares shave ice differently based on weather.“

“Excellent food and service. Only issue is the wine and food prices seemed excessive compared to other excellent restaurants in the area. One example is a Ferrari Carano Chardonnay that normally sells for under $20 was priced on the wine list at $78 a bottle. “
