My wife got the ahi bowl and added cucumbers for a crunch. The sauces are a perfect addition and we've already been back once. Will be a go to quick bite. Service was good and the staff was helpful during our first time when we weren't sure what to get. The inside has enough for 4-5 to eat at a high top bar and the same amount of outside but never too busy to have a quick bite.

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.

They serve a variety of Puerto Rican food with a hawaiian twist. I decided to have the steak, shrimp and laulau. It also comes with gandule rice and macaroni salad. The flavors are fire. Steak is a nice medium rare which is to my personal preference and the shrimp is delicious with a creamy unique sauce. The ratio of pork, fat and greens in the luau is so well balanced. As for the gandule rice, it is by far the best I have ever eaten. Every morsel is perfectly flavored. This is a special treat when you want to have a cheat day. This is truly one of the best places to eat on the island. Chef's kiss to Guudfellaz.

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.

Super unassuming spot on the Westside. I originally heard of Pokai Bay through a Youtuber, Sean…read moreKaleponi, and wow did he deliver on this rec. This is one of the spots where you won't find a single tourist, because not many venture out to this area. Definitely a local casual spot, but they serve up some delicious food. There was one guy, Angel, working the front and there are plenty of tables inside. We ordered the fried noodles and hurricane chicken for about $20 and shared among 3 of us. I am still dreaming about this dish. The saimin noodles were soo flavorful and had the perfect chew. The hurricane chicken was fried to perfection, juicy, and packed with flavor. SO GOOD. Even if you aren't in the area, I'd put this spot on the list of foods to try on O'ahu.

A case of baked goods draws your attention at the front counter. We were greeted and told to sit anywhere. The table service is friendly and attentive. Our server told us about the popular garlic chicken or fish fishes. The menu offers breakfast and lunch options. The portion of Garlic Chicken was huge (shareable). The coating was crispy but the sauce was overly sweet for me. Mac salad was good. I substituted the rice for green salad, which was fresh and delicious. My daughter had the Two Egg Breakfast came with four large pieces of bacon. She substituted rice for green salad. The eggs were perfectly cooked. Her breakfast was perfect. They do not have a kid's menu, so we shared our meals with my granddaughter, which was fine as we had a lot of food. Our server brought an extra plate for her. They serve ice cream and have a selection of beautiful desserts but we were full so will return to try out. There is a small private parking lot. The restaurant is walkable from the park/beach.

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.

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.

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.
