Underrated local dinner spot…read more The entry to this restaurant is so easy to miss because it's so narrow and it blends in so well with everything. I don't know if they want to keep it hidden, but I guess you could consider it that. We went in on a Saturday night with reservations and I highly recommend it since the place was full when we went in and more people kept wanting to come and eat. Service was great from beginning to end, I especially love that everyone accommodated my stroller and my baby. There were four of us and we each got something different, but to start I highly suggest the steamed shrimp and pork wontons and the lechon style Brussels - I would've double-ordered those for my entree if I could have! For entrees we ordered the garlic noodles, misoyaki butterfish, seared catch-of-the-day, and the burger. They were all amazing, and after we all started letting each other try we started making our own "flights" because everything just hit different spots and flavor profiles. In summary, this is one of those places that doesn't care about aesthetics, the decor is casual, but the food is soooo ono. They focus all their energy on food and service, and that makes a winner winner chicken dinner in my book.

Great happy hour deal with unique fusion dishes!…read more Food - 5/5 Sooo good! We mostly ordered off the happy hour menu - Brussel sprouts, mushroom pizza, fish tacos, and ume whiskey sour. We also got the strawberry matcha. The flavor combos were so unique and interesting! Service - 5/5 Our server was so friendly and attentive! Ambiance - 5/5 Slightly fancy vibes but still casual!

I've been here more than 10 times for brunch, and it never disappoints! It's become one of my…read morefavorite spots to grab a matcha or coffee while enjoying a delicious meal. The portions are very generous, and I love that the food feels both satisfying and nourishing, so I never feel guilty indulging. I'll definitely keep coming back again and again. They sometimes have live performers, which adds such a nice touch to the overall experience. The service is always great, and I also appreciate Island Vintage's rewards program--such a nice perk for returning customers who enjoy their food and drinks. Lox of bagel was delicious and it came with side of salad. I usually get their keto plate or their island style plate and their very generous with their portions. But all their dishes are ONO! You will definitely find me here atleast every other week for sure!

You will spend more than the average to eat here, but I believe you get more than just the food/drink, you get the atmosphere as well. One thing I will say that not too many people know about, is that they have a kids menu! Every choice on there is $10 each. When I do end up bringing my babies on Bible study nights, I order them the sausage, eggs, and rice plate or the nuggets. Portions are great, enough to feed an adult, let alone a child. On average for a date, you'd pay about $80-$100 total depending what you order. But it's worth it and it's not an everyday thing. Also check out the shaved ice and ice cream! I haven't tried it just yet, but I heard it's pretty good.

Came here for an easy dinner date with my husband. Service…read morewas friendly but I felt like our poor waitress needed some support. She was taking orders, serving and cleaning up. We never had our waters filled throughout our entire meal. She never asked if we wanted dessert. Again, I don't think it was her I just think she needed help. She had a lot of tables and a big party she was taking care of. The food was ok. My husband's hamburger looked amazing but lacked flavor. I feel like the patty was not a smash burger patty and it was not seasoned. My tacos were good but super greasy. The pretzel was amazing and I loved the cheese it came with. The star of the show was the ice cream pie. I feel like it was an absolute must! I just love Lapperts ice cream so to have it in the pie was just amazing! The chocolate ganache was rich and heavenly. The macadamia crust o my!! The ice cream pie on its own is the reason I would come back. Maybe for happy hour too! They had decent items and prices but we missed it.

Inquired about parking validation and the host said pay for parking and it'll be taken off the bill. Didn't specify for how many hours. Followed up about the parking with the server and she said it was up to 2 hours, which was not mentioned by the host and so I had already paid for the recommended 3 hours. We had 3 separate cars and they said they would only validate 1 hour each car since there were multiple cars. Also was not mentioned. So if you come with friends, sit separately I guess! Server communicated that this all came from management but not once did management speak to us themselves. Will not be returning because of lack of good management and communication

Literally BROKEEEEE DA MOUTTTT!!…read more This is local Hawaii comfort food to DA MAX ! Best family dinner post beach day. Can dine inside or outside. Plates can be shared between 2 hungry adults. ITS A LOT, and worth every penny and calorie. Get the combo plates if you don't want to share, trust me you shouldn't share. The beef short ribs are a MUST! And if you think your mout stay broke from the ono food, wait till you try their ice cream pie. It's out of this world!

Just finished watching a local YouTuber visit this place, and it brought back memories.....not a…read moregood one either. He liked it, and by reading the more recent comments, I guess everyone else likes it, too. And I admit that the first and last time I came, more than 2 years ago, the food was good. But if you read my original post, you'll know that I had and issue with their online ordering and, to make a long story short, I ordered online for their KONA store which was misleading in their website. The owner at the Kapolei store said they would remake the order, and that she'd call the Kona store to cancel my payment. Bottom line, never happened! Ended up paying the Kona store $45+ and Kapolei $45+. So ultimately, I paid $91+ for two plates. Never got the refund, haven't been back since. So I realize they probably don't care about ONE negative customer since they have so many good reviews. Like..."who cares about this guy?" So yeah, no matter how good the food was, I'm NEVER going back.

She continued to search her phone. Exasperated, we took our business to Zippys down the block. We won't return and will tell our associates that we were warmly welcomed by more friendly, genuine hospitality. Zippys has become our new meeting place for a dozen Kapolei meetings. Much better fit for ordinary local business people.
