Restaurants in Waianae

“Excellent Puertorican cuisine”

“Wonderful little family run spot. My favorite shave ice that I've had on the island so far. I got the Lava flavor with ice cream and my husband enjoyed his too. Great price for such a delicious treat”

“My haole family has gone 2 years in a row to Hanaras for breakfast on our trip. We love the pancakes and the kind staff. The prices are are great for the value. The macadamia nut pancakes are my favorite and my wife was fortunate enough to be recommended the pork and squash soup on our first visit (thanks Cindy). If you're in the area check it out!”

“Great 😍food very nice and friendly service !”

“The food is absolutely great! We come to Hawaii once a year and always have to eat here at least once. Okay, it’s a hole in the wall but the food is first rate. And we like the staff.”

“This is the best shave ice on the Island. We’ve tried shave ice from over 8 places and this was by far the best! The lightest texture. Perfect! Melts in your mouth.”

“Your total will be higher than when you add up their listed prices and add tax and a credit card fee. You'll get half portions of the incorrect items, even after they confirm, verbatim, what you order, but the flavor could make it worth your while. Might try them again earlier than an hour and a half before closing, might cut my losses. Either way, you're forgiven.”

“keeps us informed about the areas on the westside”

“This food truck was amazing. We randomly came across this place while driving up the west side and it was our favorite meal out of the entire trip. Super delicious, great staff, and generous portions. We will definitely come back on our next visit!”

“Highly recommended food truck in West Oahu. Had the surf and turf special- steak and shrimp. The meat was tender, the shrimp absolutely delicious. For sides we had salad (ask for lilikoi dressing), potato salad, and the most ono black beans! Huge portions. We enjoyed our dinner on the beach while watching the sunset. Service was quick and very friendly. East parking. Would definitely eat here again.”

“Food and service were excellent!”

“Great Korean food. Mostly a take out restaurant but, tables are available to dine-in. On our visit some of the table tops were sticky and should have been wiped off.”

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

“Three of us tried three different meals off the breakfast part of the menu and everything was delicious!!…I seldom finish a meal on the first go but ate every bit of my Meat Lovers Scrambler…so good!!

Only caveat was that one of us was brought tater tots which weren’t ordered and then were charged extra for them. Were also helped after folks who arrived after we did. Meant their food came before ours.”

“Whenever I'm in Waianae, Teapresso is my go-to spot! As a local, I love coming here—always welcoming, with friendly staff that shows you Aloha. The service is consistently great, and the drinks are on point every time. Whether it's a classic milk tea, melona, ube flavors or something new, they never miss. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!”

“Small hole in the wall restaurant that serves up the largest plates on the Waianae Coast. Each plate can be shared between 2-3 people or kept for 1 very hungry person. Good flavor. The staff is very friendly. The restaurant is small making it hard to get a seat inside, especially during the lunch hour or on weekends. Parking outside of the restaurant is limited to 5 cars. However, parking is also available across the street at Pokai Bay beach park.”

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

“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.”

“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!”

“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!”

“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.”

“Great restaurant with awesome service. Eli was delightful, helpful and gave timely service. She had a great attitude. We are definitely pleased with our visit to this place and will return. Happy New Year's we are glad we celebrated tonight with our last meal of 2025 at Saito & Pho.”

“Delicious food and nice folks. We had the elote, mango cream, and horchata 💯”

“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!”

“I am obsessed with this place!! They have a decent variety of drinks; my favorite being the ube with extra boba 😆😆. They also have a lot of knick knacks and blind boxes, which the kiddos love. Staff there are very respectful and show a lot of Aloha 🥰. If you love great tasting smoothies and inexpensive products, you need to check out this gem on the westside!! Much love to the S7 family 💕💕💕”

“Very cheap, Cash only.

This place really does deserve it's name, after eating here it quickly became number 1 in my heart.

Friendly service and delicious food. Building inside and out is a little run down, but you're not there for the looks of the place your there for the delicious affordable cuisine. These people know how to make Chinese food.”

“Formerly known as Maili Pastele, Ohana Maili Market is now its name. They have awesome food for lunch & maybe dinner too. My favorite is their Poke Bowl with Taegu on top!! And then they have other foods such as laulau plate, baked chicken mushroom, hamburger steak, etc. These guys is THE BOMB dot COM!!”

“I have had pasta in Italy, I have had sausage in Germany, I have had poutin in Canada, I've had lobster in Boston... I could go on..
I have never, had a crispy, sweet and spicy, chicken bite that has EVER equalled to what they have... I ordered 2 from the appetizer menu and was disappointed only in myself that I could not finish them both.”

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

“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.”

“THE local aunty and workers are BOMB here. walked in as first timer and they helped us get all the good deals and sign up for rewards so we can get greater deals. we're all struggling with money and this aunty and the workers were so friendly and helpful they deserve all the credit and respect! please give them a RAISE whoever the manager is cause they deserve it. Definitely loved Papa Johns before but I'm definitely coming back more after today!!!”

“Hands down best fast food in nanakuli! They don't make you wait... like McDonald's, and I've never had a order wrong....like Wendy's....great work from management to staff”

“Workers are EXTREMELY efficient considering the size of their work space and the endless line in the parking lot. Extremely kind, as well. I won’t get into detail because corporate entities are always watching, but I had a very bad day and I will say that they were extremely compassionate about it. If you’re planning on going here, remember to order online…makes everyone’s lives easier! (FYI I don’t work here I just have experience in the industry. Great job Starbucks!)”

“Honestly the best place for burgers, fries, and that mustard mayo secret sauce! Also you have to try their FREEZES. Ask for the secret menu of shakes and Freezes and you won’t be disappointed! All these lower then 5 star ratings don’t know an amazing HOLE IN THE WALL drive in is even if it was in the name! This is a staple of Waianae and we need to keep these mom and pops going if we want to experience nostalgia every time we eat at places like this! Go support, go enjoy, and go order up so they can continue to feed us ONO ONO burgers and fries !”

“Amazing place and customer service especially the manager with the glasses Would love to shout her out by name but unfortunately I can't , but mahalo to the entire Starbucks team for making my experience wonderful and going above and beyond each time - with love Lexie”

“Burger Kings hamburger buns aren't that great at all kinda dry but the bbq flavor makes up for it as the burger with cheese was pretty tasty. The staff nice it was extremely busy n the order was made promptly and correct. The onion rings so awesome 💯 it was clean in dining room.”

“Fastest service and hottest food I’ve ever experienced at a Taco Bell, and I’ve eaten at a lot of Taco Bell’s. Great job to whoever is running the team at this location.”

“It's Little Caesars. Predictable corporate menu- locally prepared. This location is busy at times and the hot and ready cabinet may be empty. Be aware, the Google search will bring you to the Pizza Hut located in the same mall but, on the opposite side of building.”

“Waianae McDonald's is bringing the Aloha... went through the drive-thru and when I got to the window an item was not available , the manager gave a refund and a replacement item...WOW!!! Now that's how a manager shows customer appreciation!!! Five stars to the manager for keeping everybody happy!!!”

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