You must absolutely ask for Makena as your server, he's very customer service oriented. He took our order with no problems even when we changed our order a couple times he was right on-top of everything. I've come to this restaurant plenty of times but having him as a server made it the best experience yet! Even though it was busy he still brought our food quickly and it was still hot! He made sure we had everything we needed was consistently checking in making sure we were doing okay. Everything thing he did was polite, fast, and efficient. I'm 110% asking for Makena as my server every time I go and anyone seeing this should do the same! Absolutely stellar! read more

Awesome service from Kalae!! Location at Mililani Town Center. Lots of parking. On the side of Meheula Parkway We had the West Coast burger bowl!! it was good!!! it comes with lettuce..American cheese.. bacon.. avocado.. grilled onions.. pickles.. lettuce.. mayo. Basically a burger without the bun. Of course, we had the bread with the oil that is always tasty. And the spinach, artichoke dip!! for the win. Casual vacation with awesome service read more

Husbabe and I decided last minute to come here since we were at Mililani Town Ctr. It wasnt crowded we may have just missed the dinner crowd as it was a little closer to 8pm. We were seated immediately so that was nice, especially with a toddler. Right away we ordered our babies food first with our appetizers since I wanted to make sure her food comes out quick. We ordered off the kids menu for her, the mushroom sausage pizza and got some avocado rolls for apps. Our waiter was nice, but seemed to have been running 5 tables alone, he might've been new I believe, but he was doing okay (sorry I forgot his name). My hasband got their new smoked salmon (i think thats what it was called) on a bed of broccoli-the salmon was very dry and the sauce was very watery that came with it. I got the shrimp and mushroom- linguini finny- that is my favorite when we do eat here. no complaints on this... Lets fast forward to all of us eating and I notice, the baby is enjoying her pizza, but when she gets to the sausage she starts coughing and sticking her tongue out. We of course check to see if there is anything wrong and couldnt figure it out. As I proceeded to watch her take the next bite and she does it again, she spits out the sausage, I take a look at the sausage and see like a chili pepper flake. At this point im a little confused bc i told my husband it cant be, lol... Low and behold, I tasted the sausage and it was spicy. I re read the menu before I called our waiter over and nothing on the menu stated that the sausage for the kids menu was going to be spicy. I than call the waiter over and ask what kind of sausage and if their sausage is spicy for the KIDS menu. He was like "ohhh yes, sorry I didnt mention it, it was my fault" I didnt know what to say because he CLEARY knew we were ordering that for our toddler. I just suggested that maybe next time they advised customers about the sausage being spicy for kids. Over all it was okay, sucks my husband didnt enjoy his food because he doesnt really care for pasta and rarely wants to eat at CPK. read more

I'm all about CPK! It's a comfortable place with a good vibe. The staff is always attentive and polite. The dining areas are always clean and comfortable. I've also been seated in the outdoor area and it to is always clean and comfortable. The outdoor area is covered in case it rains. The bar has a great selection of beers and drinks. They also have a happy hour 3-6 on the weekdays. The menu offers a tremendous selection of great tasting pizzas, pastas, burgers, salads and appetizers. I really enjoy coming to Mililani CPK and actually probably come here too much. LOL I only have one complaint... please replace the TVs overhanging the bar. Two of them definitely have issues.. I think it's time. read more

I'd give this place a 3 1/2 stars. The plus side was that we were seated quickly and service was great. The downside I'd say was the pizza. Seemed a little overcooked and too crispy. See reference photos. I also prefer a little more cheese but maybe it was because it was cooked a little longer than expected. The shrimp appetizer was delicious! Even my oldest tried it and really enjoyed it. My youngest absolutely enjoyed the complimentary bread that comes before the meal. Our server graciously brought her more. Overall, not horrible. Maybe we'll give it another chance in the future. read more

We went to CPK last night for Father's Day's. Food was good. I had a special. Basically it was a hamburger salad. No bun hamburger patty, lettuce, tomato, avocado, cheese. Was good for me as I normally have a lettuce bun. Service was awesome. Had a young guy but forgot his name ugh. Ambiance was good. Clean . I gotta say that CPK Mililani has gotten better. The good thing was the wait was too long. read more

Phoenix was an excellent server and we enjoyed chicken piccata pasta, Thai Crunch Salad, and muffleta sandwiches with soup. As we were celebrating a birthday we tried the butter cake and it was divine! Yummy! Love CPK! read more

Used to come weekly but that has since changed since they skimp out on the amount of pasta given especially to take out orders and they keep giving less and less chicken for the chicken piccata. It used to be 3 and now it's 2, soon it'll be 1 lol. It's not worth the price and they never give enough sauce for the other pastas specifically the garlic cream fettuccini-- which used to be fine before when they didn't charge for extra sauce. But now that they do, it's not worth it. We've since gone to the other pastas restaurant nearby (assagios) and omg what a night and day difference. The quality of their pastas and portions are totally worth the slightly higher price. read more

Located in Mililani Shopping Center next to Longs Drugs, has a nice open floor plan and plenty of outdoor seating. Lose a star at host stand because when hubby and I walked in, he was on the phone and turned away from us instead of smiling and saying just a moment or acknowledging us in any way. Luckily a young lady came up (also a server) and cheerfully sat us and granddaughter by the kitchen, which she loved as she could see all the action, especially the pizza connoisseur. Server gave her a keiki menu with crayons and came back to take our order. It was still happy hour (3-6 pm) so hubby got a draft beer at the PAU Hana price. Hubby ordered the braised beef rib ragu and loved it! I tried and meat was tender with perfect amount of pasta and sauce. He would order it again and I will to! I tried the newer steak salad and it was a disappointment. Not a lot of steak in it -five tiny pieces- and too much dressing. Also a small edamame was in it but only one so not sure if it was a mistake or supposed to have? The price was $19.99 for a half serving. CPK still starts you off with the free delicious bread and vinegar/oil which we love! Our server was very good- she made sure we had what we needed, checking back on another beer for hubby, and clearing plates, pouring water, asking if we'd like dessert. Fun for kids to watch pizza being prepped- tossing of dough, sprinkling on cheese, etc then using the giant spatula to shove into oven, remove, and sliding into the box. Talent! We will return for happy hour to check out the bar. A good place for large families with the outdoor seating luau style. read more

Added Sparkles . New menu items! Added pastas, pizzas, salads, and an entire mac n cheese section. A pleasant lil fun surprise from their usuals. Braised Short Rib Ragu is new and good. Chunky sauce with squares of short rib cuts. Imagine an americanized bolagnase with a lot less cheese. Pairs nicely with a red Meiomi. . To me, CPK is a standard chain restaurant. Not bad, not gourmet, but she okay. An expected mall amenity, a decent place to spend with the company of good friends that delivers convenient food service -- nothing revolutionary. But when staff, servers, and chefs are solid - four stars is a fair rating. . cheers! read more

CPK is always a great go to! Tonight we went to the CPK in mililani & had the jambalaya linguini fini and the garlic fettuccine with shrimp, chicken & mushrooms. We got there just before the dinner rush so it was nice & not overly crowded. I like the ambiance & feel of the place, it's very welcoming. Our server Dylan was great! Very attentive & quick with the refills. read more

Stopped in for a quick work lunch. We got seated right away and service was prompted in getting our order and bring our drinks and food. This isn't your upscale restaurant but it is good for what it is. So that is how I judged it. Great convenient easy apps in food. All the ingredients tasted fresh and food had good seasoning. I would have liked more avocado in my chicken avocado rolls and more blue cheese on my salad but again it was good and convenient. read more

Once the pandemic arrived I stopped attending monthly Stampin Up classes. Yesterday was a good chance to meet my demonstrator who asked to have lunch. We both arrived before the 11 am CPK opening hour so we had time to exchange goodie bags. A young handsome guy escorted us to our indoor table. Our table server was sweet, bubbly, efficient and super cute. Found out my guest is like me in that she leaves the bread and eats the sandwich fillings. I really liked the new salad which really is like the Thai crunch but without the edamame. The honey miso dressing was good, something has a little kick to it. The dumplings were indeed crispy but fried a bit long so was darker in color rather hard and brittle so I just ate the filling. The restaurant wasn't packed during a Wednesday midweek early lunch which was great. Not loud so you could hear each other and enjoy catching up for an hour and a half. My unsweetened ice tea came with a lemon wedge and I added two skinny pink packets of sugar substitute. Two years ago we met here. My friend says let's not wait 2 years to catch up again. You know, the older I get, time just flies and seems like it couldn't have been that long ago. read more

First time ordering takeout from here. Had to sign up for DoorDash to pickup that added a layer of complexity because the process was unnecessarily cumbersome to checkout. Service I received was subpar. When I arrived, waited 4 minutes before someone came to front counter but he was assisting someone else with a large order. Then another employee asked that employee for change at the register while a third employee was organizing takeout food from kitchen and ignoring me so the employee at the register had to ask her to help with the line of customers. She seemed aloof and unfriendly. She also had a hard time finding my order. She also did not offer any condiments so I had to ask for them. Even on the receipt, my handwritten name was spelled incorrectly. The first employee(tall guy) helping the customer with their large order seemed friendly and very thorough with the first customer. I wish I got that employee instead. Pizza tasted pretty good though. A friend who is a regular there told me to order the California Vegetarian and add Pepperoni toppings which seems pretty odd but tasted great! If it wasn't for that, I would have knocked off another star. read more

Whenever I feel like I get great customer service, I feel the need to update my review. Eating out can be a challenge for me since I have some unique food allergies. My friend and I came to CPK for dinner. The staff takes such great care of us. Upon sharing my food allergies, the kitchen staff ensured that my meal was prepared properly. We had to wait a little bit because they had to remake my meal to ensure that I was able to eat the food I ordered. The manager came and checked in with me multiple times. I truly appreciated the care that the management, kitchen staff, and our server put in to ensure that we had a great experience. The food tasted delicious and was worth the wait. I highly recommend you come eat here, especially if you have food allergies. read more

Unfortunately I'm always disappointed when I come here. There aren't as many pizza selections as I feel like there used to be. The salads are not great. The kids pizzas are more crust than anything. The last time we went the wait was extremely long since the kitchen was backed up. I feel like for the price it's just not worth coming here. I would rather buy a Pizza Hut pizza and take it home. read more

California Pizza Kitchen, located in the Mililani Town Shopping Center, is our go-to place for takeout dinners...especially during busy Aloha Fridays! The eatery is often humming along with happy customers enjoying great food and great company. My hubby and I often select our favorite...The Works thin crusted classic pizza...which includes Italian sausage, huge pepperoni, mushrooms, mozzarella cheese, green peppers, and black olives. With its friendly staff, convenient location, and informal atmosphere, CPK offers a leisurely dining experience in a comfortable setting...perfect for fun gatherings with family and friends! read more

The food is OK here nothing super special for being in Hawaii, but it is your staple of CPK across the board. The service is usually pretty rapid from my experience here and the inside looks like every other CPK you've ever been to. So no bad things really yet it's just your typical restaurant. read more

I ordered the kids pasta with meat sauce and broccolini to go. Didn't think to check my order and when I opened up the containers to eat--I discovered that I received a kids pasta with a dash of meat sauce and steamed broccolini. I was annoyed but took my first bites of the pasta and broccolini only left to be further disappointed. I added butter and seasoning to my broccolini to make it tase edible but wasn't able to do anything to my bland pasta. After reading some of the reviews, it looks like this location has an issue with not putting enough sauce on their pasta dishes. TIP: SKIP THIS PLACE. Go to Pearlridge for your CPK fix. read more

We always come here. But I don't know, but my wife and I were surprised by the portion sizes at the CPK in Kahala Mall. They serve much bigger portions there. We wish the Mililani location had the same portion sizes. read more

The TVs in the bar area is unacceptable. One TV could trigger a person that has seizures due to the constant blurring of the picture and flashing and the other TV half of the picture is blacken.

Love CPK's food but the host at the front was super dismissive. I made a reservation via the CPK app 20 min before we arrived and when I got there the guy told me I had another 25 minute wait. Like WHY did I even put my reservation in then? I politely asked if it made any difference that I was an Elite member...he literally scoffed and said that wouldn't help at all. I know it's not a fine dining restaurant, but at least make it make sense to us sensible people. BTW, I saw LOTS of empty tables. What's the deal, man? Meh...we walked next door to the Thai restaurant and had an awesome meal...and the waitress, as busy as she was, was pleasant, sat us promptly on the last open table, and served the food with a smile. By the time the first dish came out, I got an alert that our table at CPK was ready. lol...nevamind already!! Neva again at this location! read more

Decided on a last minute lunch at cpk. The wait was about 10 minutes, even though the restaurant had some empty seats. I can see why though. Only two waiters for the whole place and they were running all over the place but still giving excellent service. Thank you to our server, Ire for a nice afternoon lunch. We appreciate you! read more

We normally don't dine at the location. We won't be back again. The food meal took 30 mins for salads to be made. I got a steak salad they made it too rare and wanted medium. Where is the food quality control at this location Zero! Staff was friendly but food wasn't up to par. Other locations....are netter even the Kapolei is better than this. It comes down to the manager. read more

Came for happy hour (3-6pm). Can expect the server to check in about every 20 minutes so put in your orders while you can. Artichoke dip is best value for $8. The highlight is the Happy hour cpk old fashioned for $8 as well. Most ice i've ever seen in an old fashioned. Guess that's the tradeoff for you get for a "happy hour" chain. read more

The worst cpk ever. The service is always terrible. We only came because there 2as a Mililani Waena fundraiser if we came in today. The appetizers came out early, but after an hour, the dinner still didn't come out. I had to go and ask where our order was. And I beleive it was a manager I spoke to and she comes back to say I heleuve your order is coming out soon. The waitress was not attentive at all. My daughter ordered a club salad, but the waitress kept saying Cobb salad, so that's what she got with old cold bacon.bbcome to find out there's a clubbpizzaa but no club salad. Do you think she would clarify that? No. She was walking away from thee table as they tried to order. We got there a little after 6 amlnd placed our order around 6:30 and got our meal at 7:10. I wouldn't recommend this cpk. Pearlridge is so much better!! read more

I'm in Hawaii and yet was drawn into CPK for dinner with family... Some things just sound so good and for me it's the Jambalaya! We were seated pretty fast considering it was a Saturday night and hostess as well as our server were exceptionally nice. Our order was taken within the first five minutes of being seated and that is due to all of us knowing exactly what we like! Individual pizzas were ordered by all with the exception of me. Such a big selection, but my family knows their go-to doesn't disappoint. We had the following pizzas: Pepperoni, Sicilian, Hawaiian, CA Club, and the Spicy Chipotle Chicken (all hand-tossed) all laid out before us along with my plate of Jambalaya (extra spicy of course!). The jambalaya was delicious! The Linguini was cooked perfectly and it had plenty of shrimp, ham, sausage, and chicken. Now I only wish we had a CPK in Prescott Valley, AZ... read more

Went to lunch with our friends here on a Sunday. We were a big group, so waiting was inevitable. This is my first time eating at CPK, I think we've only done take out the other times we had their food. We sat outside, and different tables. We sat on a half booth, and for whatever reason, the chair is sticky. I don't even wanna talk about it in a lot of details, but the point was it was sticky, and so was the table. We were given menus, we ordered pupus first, and it arrived at 12:37pm. We ordered the spinach artichoke dip. The dip was delicious, however the chips they gave us were small pieces, only few big ones, and to add salt to the wound, they were STALE. Ugh. I'm not the type to complain right there and then, I'd do it after on my reviews lol because I hear a lot of stories about people who complain about their food and the restaurant does something bad to the replacement food. For our entree, we ordered the Wild Mushroom pizza and my husband added pepperoni to it, and for myself, I got the kung pao spaghetti and added chicken. I read a lot of good reviews about the kung pao spaghetti which is why I got it, while it was delicious, it was average delicious. It was sweet, and spicy. I did like the peanuts as it added texture to the dish. And for dessert, we got the butter cake with vanilla ice cream! This is the only thing I loved! And would order again. It was huge! It's buttery, warm and soft. Definitely a 10/10! While this place is convenient, plenty places to park at, it's not really special. If you're looking for something similar to the kung pao spaghetti, the Charlie Chan pasta from Yellow Cab, is a must try! read more
