“Excellent Puertorican cuisine”

“Great 😍food very nice and friendly service !”

“Nice hole in the wall local restaurant with some of the friendliest servers around. Local food favorites served here, like hamburger steak, barbeque chicken, meat/fish Jun, tripe stew, they also serve liver and onions w/ bacon just to name a few.”

“keeps us informed about the areas on the westside”

“Fantastic food and great price! The fish was breaded perfectly nice and thin crust and the fish was fresh. The meat for the steak and chicken sandwich was tender and the flavours were great.”

“Absolutely amazing food, service, and live music. Got there at 7 for our reservation and no wait. Our first order got there very fast. I would recorder everything we had: poke nachos, medium rare loco moco with fried rice, house burger medium rare with grilled onions and strawberry cheesecake. Best loco moco I’ve ever had. Poke nachos were up there. Burger was very good with aioli sauce. The garlic truffle fries were average but still good. The cheesecake was super good, perfect size for two who just ate a lot. We didn’t finish our food to leave room for dessert. Great spot, highly recommend!”

“Great drinks & excellent food. Menu so good makes it hard to choose. I had the best Ahi seared on the grill, super good. I really liked A& G and will definitely return before I leave Oahu.

Parking: Ahi and steak plate was perfect size and takes care of the craving for both. Very good Mac too.”

“Three of us stopped in for a quick lunch and we were the only ones there at the moment. We ordered egg noodle soup with seafood and pork, an order of egg rolls and a lemongrass chicken bahn mi sandwich. It was all delicious, ready quickly and served with a smile. We would definitely go back.”

“So so good! Made fresh and absolutely wonderful. Great portions and prices, and fresh made drinks are also worth it!! We had bang bang shrimp special with salad and a spring roll and rice, Thai tea, strawberry drink, and the fried chicken over fried noodles - all great! One of our best and favorite meals we’ve had on Oahu in 8 days of vacation! Staff was so friendly and really made us feel welcome.”

“Really good Thai food ample portions and fair prices. We had the Pad Kee Mao and the Pad See Ew. Both were excellent. Highly recommended if you are in the area. The outside may give you pause but just go on in. The inside is decent. Friendly employees, fast service and a clean restroom. Free and easy parking right out front.

Parking: Plenty of free and easy parking right out front.”

“Great service and yummy food! stopped here while I was in Hawaii with a friend. So delicious! Very affordable and great selection 🔆🌞”

“Love the food and everything is off their farm, it's a hidden gem and beautiful place to enjoy and eat for a healthy delightful meal, also have a refrigerator full of goodies that are made fresh”

“Stopped here on the first morning in Hawaii. Our kids asked to come back for breakfast again before we go home.
The food was great. A unique blend of flavors and twist on comfort food. The Portuguese sausage was a hit.”

“Waianae may have a limited number of really good food options—like BBQ Kai, Saito & Pho, and the Thai food truck in Mākaha—but Waianae Korean BBQ is one of those hidden gems ?. Shhh, don’t tell anyone; I don’t want the line to get longer! The food is delicious, and the atmosphere has a laid-back vibe. I usually order the meat jun without rice, which lets me choose 6 sides instead of just 4. Highly recommend!”

“Simple reasonably priced fare that was so delicious! I had the vegetable omelette served with greens and rice with an added side of tasty Portuguese Sausage and my husband had the Punke- (eggs, meat choice and rice). The views of the covered balcony were worth the visit!

Vegetarian options: Delicious vegetable omelette!”

“Dawn was amazing! So welcoming! Clean! And most importantly the food was chefs kiss!! The hurricane chicken is a must try. A local spot with local vibes. This place is a must go! Mahalo to the staff!!

Aloha”

“Like most places in Waianae, there aren't tourist dollars floating bad food with one time purchases. Bad restaurants with good marketing can survive in waikiki, but when you're customer base is 90% people who live within a square mile, you have to provide good value and bbq kai is a good example of that.”

“Great atmosphere, very COLD beer and great, super friendly staff. The food was really tasty too!”

“First time I had been to Papa John's in years. The service was very good and they were quick with my order. I was pleasantly surprised. I had the Philly cheesesteak papadia. Loads of cheese, probably what I don't need, and plenty of green peppers and steak.

Parking: Ample parking

Kid-friendliness: No dine in, only take out.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access for handicap ♿️.”

“All the goods are good like the beef broccoli, lemon chix tbeir fried fish idms woth the extra $,and all the gau mien dishes. I'm hooked on their soft gau gee mien, with the gau gee on the side.”

“The Internet Cafe has re-opened. Was closed during the C-19 beginning but reopened in 2022. Printing, Copying Faxing, Internet Access. Also the official Homeless Outreach for the Waianae Coast. If you are seeking services you can stop in 9 am till 3:30pm Mon-Thursday. We close early on Friday 9 am till 11:00am”

“There was a food truck located by the HPU Sharktank at Manoa by the St Francis School. They were out during a game. Very delicious OG Mangonada, this was a small size with Chamoy for $7. Staff is very friendly. I would definitely come back for more.”

“Never disappoints! Supa Ono!”

“The service is awsome down to earth sistah at the counter and the acai bomb was AMAZING...Perfect for my kapu diet..”

“I have eaten at a lot of taco bells in my time but this one has to be one of the best I have eaten at in a while. I usually go to the taco bell in waianae by McDonald's just cause it's closer to my house. However they are very subpar when it comes to food quality. Everything doesn't taste fresh it tastes sour. Their presentation is horrendous their nachos just looks like slop on chips. The cantina Chicken soft tacos are loaded with the sauce from the Pico de Gallo if their using the right tool for it that should never happen. I also think that their cold line might be malfunctioning. All in all since I have eaten at this new taco bell I'll definitely be going here instead of the other one. This taco bell is extremely good with portioning, presentation, and food quality and speed of service. I have worked at many taco bells during my life and we were instilled with the qualities that this store possess and for this I salute everyone that works in this store. I will definitely be coming back here.”

“Im convinced that I've tasted the best burgers on island and this place tops the teri burger list. I've been to Teddys, L&L, Seven Brothers, The Shack, Hukilau, and a few others. They are all fantastic in their own special way..but if youre craving a teri burger...this is the place!! The teri burger here is champ and its simply because their patty is such high quality. Nowhere on island will you find a better quality teri burger. I still very much recommend the places above but the burger and the special sauce here is untouchable. I always make the drive when i visit and so long as theyre around, ill continue to do so. Btw, the place is Taste-Tzs not Faiths Place anymore.”

“Old style family Chop Suey House. Nostalgic setting and friendly service…”

“The food was prepared very well and delivered in a timely manner. Very tasty and fresh. Will definitely go there again.”

“I'm so glad this place is still open for us on this side the best side of our island! To you, the people who are keeping this place open, thank you, and God bless you all”

“Great place for a quick meal. Outdoor seating. Food was good! I'm not used to Hawaiian barbecue but I could definitely learn to love it. This place is definitely worth checking out. The portions were huge. I had enough leftover for a midnight fridge raid.”

“Basic Jamba. Tasty but overpriced juice drinks. Some new ideas.

Vegetarian options: Props up the prices.

Dietary restrictions: Cause unnecessary price hikes”

“I eat here often for the varieties and none has failed me like some others nearby. Nor do they make you wait a lifetime for your food and always give friendly service. Highly recommend this place to non locals too. Very clean place well maintained and organized!”

“Nice crew, but dated facilities. They are using the drive-thru cashier to accommodate customers dining in. It was so hot inside it had no AC, I wanted to eat inside but I just ate outside under the bus stop shade instead it was more cooler. I guess KFC Waianae is for people who drive-thru only, just like any other fast-food restaurants in the area.”

“Yum! The food here is on point. The broth for the pho is ono and consistent. The wafu steak has an impressive presentation. The atmosphere is a bit rough—definitely not the restaurant for first dates, but maybe a year in lol. Overall, this restaurant is great and worth trying.”

“Only in HI can you get a breakfast platter with eggs, rice, Portuguese sausage, and spam. The cost was $8.99 and at first I thought that's a bit up there, until I see the amount of food. The rice alone is enough for 2. Just add some ketchup and you have yourself a weekday local brunch.”

“The Passionfruit Dragonfruit refresher STILL tastes like thePassionfruit Dragonfruit Lemonade refresher that is OVERCOME by the lemonade... Great service though...”
