    The reason my kids and I make the drive out to the Makaha area, for the fried calamari. That's all we buy at this place. We literally roll up, park, and order a large side order of calamari which roughly comes out to a little over $10 and feeds four of us and there's still extras left. Small lot but most of it is come and go so I've never had a issue finding parking. The employees do their jobs with little customer interaction and communication but I don't think or feel that it's intentional. The place needs some cleaning and remodeling as far as atmosphere, and maybe redo their parking lot asphalt , but it won't kill anyone. The food is tasty. Maybe one day we'll try some other things, but for now, we'll stick to our calamari.

    So, ive pasted this place several times cruising down Waianae side, but never thought to stop and try the food here. Someone recommended this place to me so We took the long journey, about 20 miles+. I was told the mochiko chicken was good here, as well as the calamari. So thats what I ordered, as well as other items. i must say, its better to ask for fresh cooked food choices, worth the wait! I shouldve asked for fresh mochiko chicken. Other items we got was the egg fuyong, eggplant, mapo tofu, orange chicken and fried rice/chowmein. My favorites out of all the items were the eggplant, egg fuyong, and the calamari. The calamari is soft and tasty. I would order it again but in the large plate. Parking is plenty. No dine in. It can get busy during lunch time.

    Regular Breakfast plate. Comes with Rice eggs and 3 meat choices. $5.**

    Super Cheap Breakfast you can't go wrong here. Do try to get here early because the lines get very long in the morning especially on the weekends. Lots of parking if it is not too crowded. The Regular Breakfast plate Comes with Rice eggs and 3 meat choices for just $5.**. It is not no mini plate but a regular large size plate. This place could use a little renovation because I would always take-out and never dine in here. They also do not have any public restrooms. The service is not very friendly. Just think of the mindset of get the customers in and out as fast as possible with zero emotions.

    That's how burnt it was & really dry

    Good food and good breakfast. Just they only take cash no card that's the only down fall. But the food is good and the works is very nice.

We needed to grab some food before heading to the beach and this lovely place popped up, so we decided to give it a try. Menu has a great selection and prices are affordable! I got the Spicy BBQ Chicken (mini) and my designated driver got the Mini Combo. My Spicy BBQ Chicken was very well-sauced and not too spicy. The sauce was great, but make sure you're not wearing anything light-colored (it will stain). The sides of seaweed and kimchi were great as well. It was definitely more "local" style kimchi, but nonetheless, delicious. The Mini Combo was very well-portioned and had a great variety of protein. Every piece was delicious and not too salty. The banchan was also very complimentary and tasty. Again, prices were great and very justified. Portions are generous and taste was present. We called in our order and it was ready when we got there. Just picked up and paid - easy as pie. If I go back for a beach side gathering, I will definitely come by here again to bring to the beach. I think this is a gem on the West Side and hope to see them again very soon!

We dined there for lunch on a Monday, so naturally, they weren't too busy. We were seated right away and our drink orders were once we were seated. I decided on one of the specials of the month, White Wash. It was a refreshing mix of watermelon juice, cucumber, mint, and vodka. The bartender didn't skimp on the vodka! You can get a free kid's meal with every entree. The nachos count as entrees, and I was definitely feeling the nachos so we ordered the Lobster Nachos and the Mauka to Makai Nachos. With the Mauka to Makai Nachos, you get a very generous serving of poke nachos and kalua pig nachos. Neither plates disappointed. There were cheesy chunks of lobster on my nachos with diced jalapenos scattered on top. The poke was so fresh, and what made the nachos even better were the fresh house made tortilla chips. My kids had the mac and cheese, and cheeseburger meals. The mac and cheese was creamy and velvety. The cheeseburgers had that nice char-broiled taste. Kids eat well at Tavern! The customer service was excellent and with a view overlooking the ocean, I am looking forward to dining at Lanterns again.

Unfortunately, they don't have an elevator, which was a little difficult for my grandmother who was with us. However, we were still able to make it up the stairs slowly but surely. It wasn't busy at all but there was only one waiter/bartender. He was very kind and efficient, but I could tell it was a lot for one person to wait on the whole restaurant! It meant ordering was a little slow, but understandably. The food itself was delicious! The burgers were amazing, honestly would be on a list of top five burgers on the island. The mauka to makai (half kalua pig, half poke) nachos were amazing. The won ton chips were to die for. We also grabbed a mini purse drink - which is definitely enough for two to share! Such a fun concept and actually how I heard of the place. Besides the slightly slow service, no elevator (which sometimes, cannot help), and the AI generated menus, this place is amazing! Plus, a nice view while you eat.
