    Avo toast
    Angeline D.

    I'm sorry I really wanted to love this place. Our server was so nice and very attentive. A+ there. Ordering using the app and being able to use Apple Pay another plus! But the food ... 1. I ordered lilikoi pancakes and they brought out Mac nut, when I pointed this out the server took it in the back, the chef just put on some lilikoi syrup on and sent it right back. So I don't think the order was correct. 2. The pancakes were horrible, thick and dense and not edible :/ the portion is large, 3 big pancakes but it's so dry it's just not a good dish. 3. Tater tots, they were cold and the seasoning was way too salty/garlicy - we ate 2 and even tried one from the bottom in case the seasoning was too much on the top but to no avail 4. We also ordered the avo toast and two lattes Which were both ok.

    Turkey BLTA Panini

    What a find in Kailua!! We had to drop my daughter off to handout with some friends at one of their houses in Kailua. Since we're never in the area we decided to grab lunch while we were there. Found Lilikoi Kitchen on Yelp and reviewers definitely steered us in the right direction. Lots of parking in the area and many shops around it as well. We walked in to this cute shop and noticed that there's a self kiosk to order but the lady did tell us she could take our order as well but there were a table scan that'll allow us to order from table and there's pictures. We decided to do go with that option since we wanted to see what we were ordering. She brought us waters and utensils before we even ordered and asked if we had questions. The place wasn't crazy busy but it was before the lunch rush for sure. There were people walking in to pick up orders to go. I got the turkey BLTA panini and my husband got the pastrami sandwich with a side of garlic fries. Our sandwiches came with a side salad and it was amazing and a great addition to our meal. Our youngest had an acai bowl and absolutely demolished it. Safe to say this was by far one of our favorite places we've tried in a while. I'd happily drive back to try everything on the menu!!

    Tons of free parking. The food was so good I'm surprised it was empty when we went. The presentation was gorgeous as well. They give you options on ordering, scan a QR code at the table, there's a kiosk at the counter or you can order with the cashier. The bacon avocado toast was superb. The kids loved the waffles and pancakes. I did have the garlic parm fries and it was kinda salty. It is kinda pricey for breakfast/brunch food tho but I mean with rising prices everywhere I guess it's standard. Def will go back!

    Nice lunch spot in Kailua. It's located in a small strip of shops, next to Teddy's Burgers. There's some parking right in front but can get tight. However there's more parking close by. Ordering is done by QR code/toast tab or if you want you can order at the counter. Food came out pretty fast. We had the caprese panino $18 which came with a bit of salad. We shared the panino but it can easily 1 person. It was nice and light with the fresh mozzarella, tomato, arugula with balsamic vinegar and pesto mayo. The bread was nice and crispy. Loved the fried tater tots ($8)- they were crispy without being greasy. Our friends really like the cubano panino $18. Came out nice and hot with nicely toasted bread. The ham and beef was a nice combination. If panini or sandwiches aren't your thing, the menu offers other items like salads, quesadilla, shrimp, curry plates. I saw that there's a pretty good selection of breakfast items for breakfast/brunch. Good place for lunch!

    First time at Lilikoi Kitchen. We went for a late lunch/early dinner and the restaurant was packed. The restaurant overall isn't that big. You can order from the cash register or QR code on the table and pay online. It took about 30-40 minutes to get our food. But everything came out hot and fresh. The portions are huge so it's good to share.

    Duck Fat Fried Rice

    Food was good. Dining area did get a little hot where we were sitting. The staff was nice but one the staff was quite rude when we asked about our food. As we were waiting for at least 45~50 mins. We went on Sunday at 9:30 am. The lady with the dreads (I didn't catch her name) was a lot more friendly than the other lady working the front. Do expect to wait for your food. And the food comes out at different times. For example we had a table of 5 and our meals came out at different times and some of us finished before our other party got their food.

    Late lunch in Kailua, O'ahu, Hawai'i... Lilikoi Kitchen was bookmarked so long ago that I don't remember how I heard about this cafe! Townies (Honolulu residents) usually dislike driving over the Pali, so I asked my friend, Donna, to go with me. She's so amicable! =) Thanks, Donna! Outside, there's free, shared parking next to Jamba Juice. Inside, it's cozy and quaint! Customers can order at the counter, order via QR code at the table, or order at the kiosk. I ordered Garlic Shrimp Plate that included rice, macaroni salad, and green salad. The garlic shrimp had an unusual breading that seemed starchy or undercooked - but I ate them all becausethe shrimp (unshelled) were plump and fresh. I liked the green salad a lot! It had a tangy lilikoi dressing! I was so full from the Garlic parmesan fries (really good) that I took the rice and macaroni salad home. Donna shared the Duck Fat fried rice - very rich and tasty! Thank you! When I return, I would order something else on the menu! Service was helpful and polite!

    I had been to this restaurant once before when they first opened, but didn't get a chance to write a review. I happened to be in the Kailua area again and decided to stop by for breakfast. They're located in a small shopping center across from the Kailua post office and next door to Teddy's Burgers & Tori Richard. Free parking is available in the shared lot, although somewhat limited. The hours on their door say they open at 9am. I waited outside for 5-10 min past 9am (in the cold windy & rainy weather), and finally they opened. Basically you order at the counter and they bring your food to you, although you can also order via kiosk, online or QR code. I was craving mac nut pancakes, so I ordered their LK Signature Pancake Plate for $18.99. It also comes with eggs & protein. I requested my eggs sunny and asked if they had Portuguese sausage. The employee at the counter said yes, so I ordered that as my protein. When the employee brought my food to me, I noticed that the sausage was a breakfast sausage patty and not Portuguese sausage. When I pointed that out to her, she said, "no, this is Portuguese sausage". I took a bite and it was definitely not Portuguese sausage. Regarding the pancakes, it was a generous portion but they were too doughy and dense, as opposed to fluffy and light. The mac nut sauce was good though.

    We came here for brunch yesterday. It's our first time here. The portion of our meals were big. The food tasted good, and the worker was quick and friendly. It wasn't too busy but there was a good amount of people coming in and out. Service was quick and place was clean. We would come back when we are on this side of the island.

    This little kitchen packed in some delicious flavor. This location was poppin at lunch time. We ordered at the table with the QR code. The serving sizes were very large! You will not leave here hungry ! The turkey BLTA pannani was a great combination of flavors . The side salad had a light fruity dressing. The fries were super crispy - cooked to perfection. Everything was great. It took a little bit for the food to come out probably 15-20 min but the place was packed when we got there.

    Pastramis Wagyu beef was soooooo good. Fries too.

They've got a…read morelittle bit of everything- from savory benedicts, sweet pancakes, waffles and so much more. Guava pancake - this is my go-to. The pancakes are fluffy soft and delicious even on their own. The guava sauce is tangy with a sharp guava punch. Crab cake benedict- crab cakes are on the saltier side but slightly sweet and rich. Honestly this is my favorite crab cake benny I've ever had. The tater tots are perfectly crispy and tossed in with bell peppers and onions. We ordered take out so I can't speak on anything about the service. We ordered online which was easy and pretty straight forward. Food is delicious even though it is on the pricier end.

As this adorable tiny nook is quite busy with staff flowing constantly is interesting that shuffling with the sliding doors is a bit a work to be mindful not getting in the way. Love the whole decor as it gives the sweet and vibrant vibe with yellow striped wall and chef bear as their mascot it gives the candy shop feel though what they serve is some very freshly baked items like cookies was just getting out of the oven as we arrived though I was really thirst on this blazing hot Sunday afternoon wanted a sip and it was the Liliko'i Island Iced Tea which is flavored with liliko'i puree and pineapple juice didn't last very long in the cup. Strawberry Melon Cream Soda or their weekly drink special Blueberry Bloom does certainly bougie up your coffee making your brunch option quite epic. Open daily from 7am to 2pm is fast so come early for your fix as it's so sweet to have their treats. Thank you!

    Nice place to have family brunch after church in fresh air…read more Food: We like the sandwiches! The BLTA is a favorite-BLT with Avocado, Big Boy Sammie, and breakfast burrito were very tasty today. The Belgian waffles are cakier than some places. Service: pleasant, friendly, efficient for a small place. Location -convenient to find on a Main Street in Kailua, near the Sunday market. Parking is harder to find. If you can't find street parking, it might be easier to park in the Manoa Chocolate parking lot -with metered parking.

    I do love Lilikoi…read more.. So you know I was surprised to see a beautifully painted building of a surfer girl, octopus tentacles and cute classic VW bus and had to see what was there and it's located right down the street from the Aloha Home Market which is the reason I was in Kailua and after a bit of browsing I got hungry and knew I had to see what Lilikoi Kitchen had to offer. Slightly confused as it shares a small space with a tattoo parlor though walking in the do make the most of the space as there's a service area where there's two ladies doing it all and immediately informed me that it will take approximately 25 minutes for any orders which is great to know upfront. Menu is quite impressive for this cute cafe and though there are many items that caught my cravings it has to have Lilikoi...right!? Monte Cristo is ham, provolone cheese with Lilikoi jam grilled between Japanese style white bread and Lilikoi Iced Tea is the perfect pairing on this Sunday afternoon and gosh what a treat! The cheese pull was insane and the grill was done with perfect marks as you can see it wasn't rushed and grilled perfectly and I loved that it came with some greens and of course Lilikoi dressing...yum! There are some high bar type seating inside but decided that the outside was much more comfy and really enjoyed it all the iced tea was perfectly balance with Lilikoi, the wait can be avoided with a phone order but I rarely plan that early and had no idea it even existed but will be back for the other items. Thank you!

The ordering counter and cashier is right as you enter along with thr pastry counter. Same deals with thr kapolei location you order and find your own table and put number so they can find you when your order is up. Inside is airconditioned with around maybe 10 tables and chairs some seat 2 others eat 4 and they also have outside patio seating back and front. The parking can be challenging having maybe 10 -12 spots in their lot and some street parking . Their Menu is a bit more limited than their other location. Sandwiches.. pizza and other stuff oh and coffee. The only thing that wasmt as good as their kapolei location was they didnt have the thin crispy salty cravable fries they only had small bags of chips available The food is always good and the service was real good. The staff gave you an impression where they really valued their customers with greetings with a smile and happy goodbyes. As always a great experience with a great casual setting..fair pricing (nothing is considered "cheap" nowdays) ..good food and friendly staff.

Water is self-serve, and the setup feels more like a cafeteria than a traditional sit-down restaurant. That said, the staff has always been friendly and welcoming, which makes for a pleasant experience. I usually order the chicken pesto sandwich, which is always a great choice, but today I decided to branch out and try the Beach Burger and the Margherita Pizza. Both were absolutely delicious and definitely worth ordering again. The atmosphere is one of my favorite parts. It has a relaxed, coastal vibe that makes you feel like you're dining at a beachfront café, even if you're not right on the sand. Overall, it's a great spot for good food, a laid-back environment, and friendly service. I'll definitely keep coming back.

I do visit Kailua as a getaway for some personal time on my days off and probably didn't think twice since we do have Tali's in town and love to visit the Lokahi Markets here but since fellow Elite Jackie K loves bagels though that this would be the perfect way to start our morning. Which is in Kailua Center along with several other biz so parking is free but shared is a generous amount that's very appreciated in this neighborhood that is one of the biggest challenge to find but at this early in the day it's super easy to find right in front of the front door. Walking in I loved the vibe very open and with the service counter in the back the guys there are just so nice and friendly while being patient as we scan their menu which is slightly different from town but knew that I wanted a sandwich...and it was the Tuna Melt. Topped with cheddar, Swiss (no sprouts) you're also able to top your sandwich with Lettuce, Tomatoes, Cucumber (no onion) is amazing and absolutely loved it and with the staff suggestion of Everything bagel was it and loved it. While they do have coffee that's about it and nothing much else as I really wanted water they were polite enough to offer tap water...not for me. Their seating is fun as some of the tables are privately divided but very adorably decorated. There is truly a reason they won 1st for Bagel is they certainly know what they're doing and is nice to have them in a couple of locations along with various types and mini size as well for the flight or just a simple bite to schmear or not to schmear is the question as here you have that and so much more.
