Several times the server rarely comes around or we have to wave them down which is bothersome. Located right across from the beach which is always so nice. Indoor and outdoor seating is both comfortable. One instance where I was harassed by a homeless man while I was with my toddler, then moved inside. Apparently he frequents there and does it often. Would have given five stars if not for the constant calling over the waiter and asking for things she missed or forgot.

Was visiting friends in Makaha and they introduced me to this off-the-beaten-path little gem I…read morenever knew about! The place was empty when we arrived so we had a chance to look over the menu before we ordered. Nothing fancy about the place but it was clean and a little dark. There were three of us so we wanted to make sure we had enough for a couple of meals. It was a Saturday so their phone was ringing off the hook and folks were stopping in to pick up their orders, which seems to be the majority of their business. The lady who assisted us was quick and we received our huge order within 20 minutes. Everything was YUMMY and we had enough food for three meals, so be prepared to be well-fed and satisfied. If it wasn't so far away (I Iive in Kaka'ako) I'd make it a regular stop.

It's not too spicy and is packed with flavor. I put it on everything. This location in Wai'anae can be pretty busy on the weekend but it's worth the wait, if there is one. Occasionally I come during the week and it is a little calmer. The inside is big and open and has plenty of seating for large families. The service is always good. The food is always consistent and delicious. The broth is my favorite on the westside. Just the right amount of spices. I haven't tried the meat toppings, maybe I will eventually. The tempura veggies is a new fav of mine. The gyoza is stuffed full, perfectly crispy and well flavored. Their spring rolls are crispy light and delicious. I'm gonna order that steak next time for real! Each time I come someone orders it and it smells so good, come sour sizzling and turning everyone's head when it comes out of the kitchen.

I recently visited Kaʻahaʻaina Café on Farrington Highway in Waiʻanae, and it truly stands out as…read moreone of the more unique casual spots on Oʻahu's leeward coast. The ambiance at Kaʻahaʻaina Café sets it apart from your average neighborhood café. The atmosphere is laid-back and focused on community, embodying a local vibe that truly represents the West Side instead of mimicking a trendy Honolulu idea. The overall experience at Kaʻahaʻaina Café was truly something I valued the most. The vibe was relaxed and inviting, allowing for a seamless transition into enjoying the meal. The service was not only friendly but also efficient, with the staff contributing to a warm atmosphere that perfectly complemented the café's local vibe. That level of reliability is crucial, particularly in a venue where it appears that numerous patrons are familiar faces. From a wider travel viewpoint, I often observe when a café truly embodies the spirit of its local community. Having explored numerous dining spots around the globe, I often find myself recalling those that truly embody their local essence, and Kaʻahaʻaina Café certainly captures that vibe. It's not just about the show. It's all about the cozy vibe, the sense of belonging, and an atmosphere that resonates with the essence of Waiʻanae. Kaʻahaʻaina Café is definitely worth a visit if you find yourself on the Waiʻanae Coast and are in the mood for a laid-back meal in an authentically local atmosphere. Kaʻahaʻaina Café exudes a sense of community that adds a unique charm, setting it apart from typical café experiences.

I was not disappointed with my food or the experience, but just not sure how i felt about the experience. Full transparency, we were already hangry and in the area. Since we never tried the place before and they were still open we decided to stop. We definitely need to go back because it was one of those I'm not sure if the food was good, because we were so hungry we didn't take the time to actually taste the food. However, the staff were kind and answered our questions without showing any obvious signs of frustration. Good service always makes the experience that much better. I give this place 4 stars because of the staff and not being disappointed with our food. We will definitely be back to actually taste the food and hopefully update my review to include more of the food experience.

They don't accept ANY coupons :( I've seen comments saying…read morethat the scanner is broken but that's not it, unfortunately. It's worse. The franchise owner refuses coupons. So far, this location is the ONLY Subway on the island that doesn't take coupons on orders of the owner, as far as I'm aware. A footlong sub sandwich for $15-$16 from a corporation company that doesn't take coupons? You might as well go to a local sub store and support that business instead. Honestly, as the customer, it's better off that way. Or just go to Subway location that accepts coupons and app rewards, like the Nanakuli location.

I was a little disappointed with my experience. My brother boasted about how Waianae Mall subway is…read morethe best, they are quick and pack on the veggies. I ordered our food through the mobile. Got there early so waited in the car until I was notified that my order was ready. When I walked in there was two people ahead of me, but I did not have to wait in line since I ordered ahead. However, when asked my name I noticed that they had only started on one sandwich and it wasn't even done. There were 3 staff, but I practiced patience and they may have been busy with walk in customers before I showed up. I waited patiently and watched as the workers looked new and a little confused as to prioritizing my order versus the people in line. I ordered 4 footlong sandwiches, a bag of chips and six pack of cookies. As Iwatched I noticed that the person making my sandwiches had gloves on but her exposed arm would touch with the bread or other areas as she reached for things or moved. At that point everyone was getting impatient and eyes were rolling so I did not want to cause a commotion, so I ignored it, I knew it was not on purpose and she was not intentionally trying to make contact. When my order was complete the same employee just looked at me and said your order and handed me the bag by the handles. I grabbed it and it ripped luckily the other customer ordering was able to catch the bottom, or my entire order would have bee on the floor. The one positive from my experience, the dining area was clean. Not sure if we will be back, may opt for Nanakuli or another subway before we head home.
