My friend got the strawberry French toast and ate it so quickly! We also got a side of pancakes, and my absolute favorite was the cookie butter pancakes -- they were SO good. Everyone was completely satisfied with everything we ordered, and I couldn't believe how fast the food came out -- 10 minutes or less! The macadamia nut coffee was delicious too, and they even had a whole selection of coffee creamers right on the table, which was such a great touch. Great food, huge portions, super fast service, and everything we tried was delicious. We'll definitely be back!

I asked about the breakfast special, and she told me that it ended at 8:30. When I checked the time, it had just turned 8:30. I understand that specials have set hours, but I would have appreciated a more courteous explanation, such as acknowledging that I had arrived right at the cutoff time or apologizing for the timing. A warmer response could have made the interaction feel more welcoming. Overall, the food was okay, but this interaction detracted from the experience.

i usually really like island vintage cafe because i normally have time to look through the menu and…read moredecide what i actually want. but this time, we ended up waiting in line to order instead of getting a table first, so that was my first mistake. which leads me to my second mistake... i impulse ordered and got an acai bowl and a kids mac and cheese. i also got a matcha, and that was really fire easily a 10/10. the service was also a 10/10, and my boyfriend loved his lox bagel, so there were definitely some wins! but when my acai bowl came out... i kid you not, it was granola with a side of acai. like actually crazy. there was so much granola that i genuinely had to search for the acai. and the mac and cheese??? i would totally recommend it if you have a strong stomach. unfortunately, i do not. it was basically an order of cheese with a side of mac. the cheese was fighting for its life. but besides those two questionable food decisions, everything else was awesome. the matcha was amazing, the service was great, my boyfriend was obsessed with his lox bagel, and i still really like this place overall. would i recommend island vintage cafe? absolutely. just maybe get a table first, take your time with the menu, and do not impulse order like i did.

My husband and I started with a beer and a cocktail with the crab artichoke dip. The appetizer was delicious and hot. We ran out of bread and were able to get another serving of house bread easily and quickly. Beers tried were: Howzit's Hawaiian Time, and Hana Koa's Rice Breaker x2. He enjoyed both. Cocktails tried were: Thai Gimlet, Doctor's Orders, and a tequila cocktail that a regular suggested a float of mezcal with. All were delicious, unique, and approachable. I've managed a few bars, and I can say with full confidence that their cocktails are fairly and affordably priced, delicious and well built. For our entrees, we enjoyed the Chicken Parmesan (husband) and Seafood pan roast. My husband left nothing on his plate, and I asked for a takeout container for the remnants of my sauce- it was THAT GOOD. Our experience, dishes, and beverages from Kalapawai Kapolei has always left us happy and full, the staff is why we keep coming back. Props to everyone and thank you for our wonderful experience on our rare night out

The July 2026 version of La Hiki's lunch buffet was, sadly, a disappointing experience. At $135 per…read moreperson, here's the good and the bad so you can decide for yourself if it's worth the splurge. The GOOD: unlimited steamed lobster, snow crab, fresh poke, oysters, decent service, and lovely live music. The BAD/AVERAGE: - We were told that some of their ceiling fans weren't working so it gets pretty hot if you're seated by the pool/live music area. Our table also rocked back and forth throughout the meal. It's starting to feel outdated. -There were flies around some of food -The prime rib was the driest/overcooked I've ever had at a buffet, and the lechon was mostly dry as well with some parts were hard crispy. -Compared to previous visits, there was no sashimi station or steamed dim sum, which was a huge disappointment, especially since they had already done away with the pan-grilled lobster. -For the cooked/hot dishes, there were egg foo yung, stir fried veggies, one chicken dish, one lamb dish, and noe pasta. Also were average taste, and just very limited options compared to other brunch/lunch buffets! -There was also a whole cooked fish sitting on the opposite side of the buffet, away from the seafood station, with no label at all. It was completely untouched the entire time we were there, which honestly said a lot. -The ramen bar is a cool concept, but the broths don't taste good and had odd topping choices. -The dessert selection felt limited, and the vanilla ice cream had a strange texture that fell apart instead of being creamy. What frustrates us the most is that the price continues to increase (3-4 times), yet nothing really stood out or added to justify it. If anything, it feels like there are fewer options than before. We've been coming here since the good old days too and it's apparent that it's not as amazing as before. The unlimited lobster is really the only thing that sets this buffet apart, and while I understand you won't find that at most other buffets, it's still hard to justify $135 per person for the overall experience we had. We won't be coming back.

This review is for their sunday brunch buffet. Reservations…read moreare a must. I wasn't able to book it directly through their site but if you call in sometimes they have additional availability that isn't bookable online. There are so many options here. The best part for me is the poke bar. The fish is so fresh. Although i'd skip the oysters and crab legs as the crab legs were tooo salty and the oysters weren't very sweet. The lobster however was great! The view from the restaurant is of the pool so it could be a bit loud but aren't all buffets? Included with the dining is a parking validation for 4 hours. You can walk around the beach area after which is nice !

This cafe is best to enter through the lobby (if you're not a guest there) The staff is nice and at 7am, there's not really a line so I would suggest going early. They have your usual selection of drinks and definitely a little pricier than Starbucks but I think it's convenient if you're staying at any of the hotels at the KoOlina Bay. The main thing to note about this cafe is the ambiance. 10/10 views and it's so relaxing and calming just sitting on the chairs that overlook the ocean.

My friend said the fish and chips were really good as well. My other friend said the chicken karaage was ok but felt it had too much breading on it. The staff was amazing, service was quick, drinks were kept full and everyone was extremely friendly. The ambiance is what I expect for a restaurant at a golf course. The restrooms are outside of the restaurant but also service the golf course and they have two entrances and exits for easy access by everyone. Everything was very clean and the staff was proactive in ensuring everything was clean prior to serving. I thought the food and staff was really good, I will definitely be coming back next time I play a round.

Compliments to Chef Meghan for an exceptional dining experience. I ordered the Japanese breakfast, which featured misoyaki butterfish, steamed rice, tamagoyaki, and an assortment of sides. Every component was perfectly prepared and full of flavor. My guests ordered the French toast with breakfast sides. One of them chose it because it reminded her of the French toast she enjoyed at her wedding, which was held at this very restaurant this past February. It brought back wonderful memories and made the experience even more meaningful. Overall, everything--from the atmosphere and service to the outstanding cuisine--made for an exceptional brunch.
