    Took half a day from work and decided to check out this place I saw on cheap eats . Pearl Country Club restaurant just head up Kaonohi heading Mauka and you can't miss it it's on the right side . Had lunch there with my sister and brother-in-law. I had their Chicken Katsu it was ok average it came with 1 scoop rice and Mac salad. My sister had their Fish and Chips she said it was also alright it would have been better if it came with vinegar for dipping. We also had a side of their Shoyu Pork on bau bun. Nice atmosphere looking over their golf course service a little slow because lots of golfer eat there after they finish playing golf. Overall : Service: 3 Star Food : 3 Star Atmosphere: 4 Star Price : 3 Star I would overall rate this restaurant 3.5 Star Support local

    Comfortable place to eat. Staff friendly, portions good. Tasty, made to order. Lots of parking.

    The ad in the MidWeek.  How can they rank as Hawaii's best 2022?  My Rating:  negative stars.
    Liz S.

    Have you seen their Ohana At Home add in the MidWeek? I thought it was a good deal and hoped I'd order one day. Boy, what a MISTAKE! I called Sunday night to inquire about the Ohana meal since I couldn't find it in this week's paper. The guy was nice and explained all the options. I said I'd call back the next day once I checked with the family in what they preferred. I called the next day but got an answering machine, so I left my order and asked for a call back confirmation. No calls, so I called again and left my order again, saying I'd like to pick up at 4pm. Strange, no calls but sometimes restaurants will expect you to pick up at the designated time. I went down to find no one picked up the recording, so no order. I was told on tournament days, the restaurant is closed. When asked how will I know when tournament days are, he just raised his shoulders and said, "I don't know?" I asked if anything can be done because I'm flexible. The response was: "The kitchen is closed for the tournament." So, I'm supposed to be a mind reader to know when tournament days are. Plus, the guy who answered the day before knew I'd call but said nothing about the kitchen closing for the tournament. A simple change would have made this all work: Put a message on the recorder to say no orders are being received due to a tournament. Simple!! The manager's name I was given was "Guy." With atrocious business practices like this, I'm sure Guy would not give a rip, so I'm posting this review on Yelp. If I could, I would give them a NEGATIVE score! Don't support sloppy businesses like this who don't seem to care. So very DISAPPOINTED!

    Tagging along with my brother in law and my wife got to eat at the Pearl Country Restaurant. Nice clean and spacious this resturant had a nice ambiance to it. Our server was pleasent and attentive. Wished I could raved about the food. I ordered the Okinawan style OxTail soup. It had a decent portion of ox tail and veggies, it's the soup that I didn't care for. The taste was way different than restaurants like Utage. We shared the pork bao which also disappointed me. The bun as well as the pork was bland. The chicken katsu and the fish and chips which was ordered was average. Note: This restaurant is not handicap friendly. Being a two story building, elevators are not required. From the lobby you have to descend one flight of stairs. After lunch I decided to see if there was another way to get to parking lot. Found an unmarked pathway to a driveway which led to the parking lot. No stairs to climb. Be safe.

    Breakfast menu

    What kind of person drives a the way from town to eat breakfast at a golf course restaurant at 6am in the morning? Answer: This mento guy... There is not a lot of breakfast places in the PC area that open at 6am in the morning, Pearl County Club Restaurants is one of the few. We wanted to get a early start as usual and if you're an early bird person and don't mind mingling with the golfers telling stories, this is a good place to eat. I found the simple breakfast menu perfect for a golf course restaurant and the prices were on PAR with the portions. On this visit I decided to try the Lup Cheong fried rice as I normally try a new brekkie place by their Fried rice. The sweetness of Lup Cheong and the moist fried rice was one of the best I've had in a long time. It also helped with some Yoke Porn oozing down the sides of the mound of goodness. The dish came with two pieces of Portuguese Sausage and takuwan ($8.95), it was excellent. The restaurant is located on the first level of the building and the view of the 18th hole and putting green is relaxing. There is indoor and outdoor seating for big groups. Local style service, friendly and unrushed. I would definitely come back here to eat, lots of local food choices. The mornings get pretty quiet and empties quickly once the golf groups leave with their BS'ing to hack up the golf course.

    Waffles ($7.90): just one comes with the plate but it's loaded with fruit and whipped cream!

    === 1. VERDICT/VALUE What started as a random road trip in an attempt to get baby to sleep turned into the discovery of a delightful hidden breakfast gem thanks to fellow Yelper Rachel I's review! The food's pretty standard; it's the staff and views that make PCC a candidate for your to-visit list! === 2. FOOD The Denver Omelette ($9.95): the ham, onions, and peppers work our nicely in this omelette; the hash browns were crispy on the outside, but soft (soggy?) on the inside. Frozen perhaps? Corned Beef Hash and Eggs ($10.65): maybe NOT the dish to order...the eggs done your way worked out fine, but the aforementioned soggy (?) hash browns and the an interesting twist on corned beef hash (soggy or overcooked?) is ok but forgettable. Waffles ($7.90): don't let the menu description fool you - there is only one waffle in the order, but it does come with fresh fruit and plenty of whipped cream to enjoy the fluffy delight! Coffee will set you back $2.75 and it's good enough to not spoil the view of the golf course. === 3. SERVICE Even when sitting on the lanei, it's pleasant and constantly attentive - kudos to the ladies for making the experience a welcome one! === 4. ATMOSPHERE One could sit inside but the magic is outdoors - ask for one of the many four-seat tables outside and enjoy the view of the golf course, Pearl Harbor while taking in the gentle breezes. Parking is plentiful (but on a hill) and those with strollers/wheelchairs will need to scoot around the left side of the buildings and down the hill to get to the restaurant level.

    My brother and I saw this place in cheap eats segment with Guy Hagi and Steve Uyehara. They tried their smash burger and their oxtail soup. So we decided to go after my uncle's funeral service. Well number 1 they lost a star because their restaurant located on the ground floor from their parking lot and no elevator just stairs. Well imagine the people that are on wheelchairs how are they going down there. The food was ok. I had the fish and chips my brother had chicken katsu and my husband had their oxtail soup my fish and chips was good came out hot even the fries. My brother said the chicken katsu was ok but he had better. My husband oxtail soup the broth he said tasted like to much cilantro taste. Well at least we tried this place but maybe won't be back soon. The server was very friendly and took our order by memory and not using a note pad. Support local and still mask up. Sorry we also had the okinawan pork bao was ok.

    Reasonable prices considering it's located in a country club with an outstanding view. But i heard menu is changing soon. For the better ;)

    Who knew a Country Club Restaurant would be open to the public? Well now, you can consider yourself Country Club material. :) Pearl Country Club has been, to me, the place of many weddings, graduations, conferences, company Christmas parties, and so on. But now, you don't have to wait for a special occasion to come and dine here. Located on the ground floor (below the banquet room). Parking definitely won't be a problem here as they have their own parking. And if you have elderly or physically challenged, there's a Porte Corche so you can drop them off at the front of the building before parking. Food/Price: Comparable to other local establishments in the area like Zippys and The Alley. You won't get a "buffet", but you will get a meal worth the price with a nice view of the green. Ambience: Did I say a nice view of the green? They have tables indoors and outdoors. For breakfast, our friends sat outside (it was beautiful). For dinner, we sat inside but it had A/C and a few tv's. Can't really see the green in the evening. Service: The only reason at this point why it's not a 5 star is that the waitresses weren't friendly but they weren't rude either. The food took a little longer to come out but when you're with good company, it's hardly noticeable. What I like is that all our food came out together. I definitely liked this place and will be back for sure. Especially for breakfast again.

They're located inside the Donquijote Food Court and have ample seating inside as well as outside. I went with the Wagyu burger, fries, and tossed salad, and all three were very tasty. The burger was juicy and flavorful, the fries were salty and crispy on the outside, and the tossed salad was light and the dressing paired perfectly with it. One thing to keep in mind: they make everything fresh to order, so the wait can be a little longer than your typical quick-service spot. I actually think the freshness is worth the extra time, but it's something to be aware of if you're in a hurry. Also tried the Apple Mint Mojito, which was delicious--light, refreshing, and a great complement to the burger. One tip: If you prefer your burger more well-done, definitely let them know when you order. The burger can come out on the rarer/juicier side, so communicate your preferred doneness upfront. Overall, a tasty meal with quality ingredients and a nice made-to-order feel. 5/5 stars and I'd definitely come back.

Just right beside the Don Quijote food court is a cute place called Naks Cafe as this cozy spot offers quite the extensive menu from pasta, sandwiches and various plates though it all sounds amazing the prices were quite up there as well knowing that times are tough I couldn't see myself having French toast bites for $16.85 but badly need to refuel after a long day of errands. Seeing that they had soup of the day sounded very comforting and it was Japanese Corn Soup sounded perfect it was that along with a cup of Apple Mint Mojito sounded like the perfect combo strange as it may sound but I did enjoy it. The staff was very friendly as they brought out my items to me as I waited outside at the food court not just as it's a tiny place but no air-condition at all as it was very hot and humid in there was quite concerning and hope they have a fan or something to keep them cool which the drink certainly did that for me and I really enjoyed this refreshing sip. As for the soup it was very nice and hot and had a nice light flavor it just tasted like the instant soup I get from the store it wasn't like the corn was fresh especially since it claims to be house-made I was slightly disappointed but did come with two little pieces of garlic bread which did elevate it more still couldn't save my disappointment considering it was $9.85 over $17 with my drink, it gave me the much needed comfort as I just wanted some hot soup which I was so happy to find in the convenience right beside Don Quijote food court.

I would say that Forty Niner is a great place to get the bang for your buck in terms of pricing for their food, but I will say that the quality of the food isn't as great as it's presented on their ordering site, Beluga. Today, my husband and I chose to do takeout and ordered three things: The Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, Chorizo Hash, and the Molokai Loco Moco. For the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, the lemon taste was pretty concentrated in the middle of the pancake/not well distributed and we couldn't really taste the ricotta flavor, but it was pleasantly sweet (not too sweet). For the Chorizo Hash, I was a little bit sad that it wasn't very flavorful and the Chorizo wasn't well cooked. The Molokai Loco Moco's flavor receives the same review as the Chorizo Hash; although it was special/the first time we'd had Loco Moco like that, it was pretty soggy/watery and lacked flavor. The food itself in my opinion gets a 3.5/5, but because they were timely and friendly as a staff, I'm bumping our review up to a 4! P.S: This location is in the corner of a neighborhood street and Kam Hwy and the parking is pretty small/limited!

Location: Kitchen Deja Vu is located inside the Blue Tropix Bar & Grill, which just so happens to be right across the Chili's from Pearlridge Center. Parking: Plenty! You can park anywhere in the Pearlridge Center parking lot Food: We ordered 5 items 1) pan fried pork cheese buns: 10/10 - pillowy soft bread expertly soaks up all the juices from the pork filling, perfectly pan fried bottom adds a bit of crunchy texture, pork filling was seasoned well and there was a decent amount of cheese inside as well (it was giving pizza flavor vibes), supposedly "spicy" but it wasn't too bad at all so this would be good even for those with a low spice tolerance 2) pulehu style short ribs: 10/10 - incredible smoked and grilled flavor, cooked and seasoned to perfection! They're not stingy either, nice portion size and a hearty amount of meat on each short rib too 3) big shrimp potstickers: 11/10 - succulent pork & shrimp filling filled to the brim of wrapper! Very on brand because these buggahs was massive and sooo tasty! Classic potsticker taste and there's a whole shrimp in there too, paired with their shoyu vinegar (I think) sauce and wooo this one was winnnahz ‍ 4) charsui udon: 10/10 - nice & chewy udon noodles and absolutely loaded with charsui and veggies that were so wonderfully stir fried allowing them to soften just a little but remain crispy, adding another layer of texture to the dish and ensuring you get a nice little crunch in every bite! 5) kau yuk (caramelized pork belly): 10/10 - big chunks of sweet & savory pork belly, but not as sweet as the name would have you think. It's actually perfectly balanced, you can definitely taste some authentic asian spices going on in there, and the meat was nice and tender Service: 11/10 We ordered take out but you can absolutely dine in if you wanted to, plenty of booths and/or tables to choose from. But I did wanna mention that we were lucky enough to meet Charlie, the owner! Really nice guy, after we gave him our order, our server Kyle took such good care of us. Checked in on us multiple times & offered to get us some water while waiting for our food. Overall: 10/10 Food was delicious, the chefs obviously know what's good, hats off to them! First time trying this place out and it didn't disappoint and love that you can also order directly from your phone through all major food delivery apps or you can even text your order in, how convenient!

    We came for lunch and enjoyed the kids specials, complimentary chips, beautiful ambiance, and…read morefriendly service. First off, we loved the fresh homemade potato chips that are served for lunch. They were hot and so generous - I didn't think we'd finish, but did because they were so light and tasty. The kids shared a kids pizza and fried chicken and fries - a pretty good deal especially since the chicken is their specialty. I had the mix plate - which included the medium rare steak, fried fish, and fried chicken - a yummy assortment for $24. I was STUFFED and happy to get to try an assortment of their best dishes! My husband tried the smashed burger and fries - perfectly seasoned, went well with the bun, fresh tomato and lettuce, and without mayonnaise or special sauce as requested. We're looking forward to visiting for breakfast soon! Those dishes look really yummy, and reasonably priced, too!

    Returned for dinner at the invitation of Pearl at Kalauao last week. (Sorry this review is a week…read morelate.) Arrived at 5pm and was promptly greeted and seated. Our server Hana was bubbly and friendly. She took good care of us. They had the Maui POG seltzer in hand so I got that. Hubby had the Modelo on tap. We enjoyed both. Their complimentary waffle style chips were crispy and warm. Warm makes it over the top yummy! Hubby had the homemade chili & chicken with white rice and potato/mac salad. Chili definitely has a homemade taste. Came topped with a lot of chopped onions and some cheese. He said it was tasty but he'd ask for less onions if he gets it in the future. The fried chicken was boneless pieces and had a honey mustard dipping sauce on the side, which was very good. He got it with potato/mac salad, which he said was good. He ate just about everything. I got the Mauka to Makai (turf and surf), 8 oz ribeye (ordered rare plus), and shrimp scampi, with steamed veggies and white rice. The ribeye came closer to medium rare, which was why I ordered it rare plus instead of medium rare, and it was ok with me. The shrimp was a surprise, lightly breaded with shell on. Shell was thin enough to eat, pupu style which I did with the first shrimp, but it's never been my thing so I peeled it off the remaining shrimp. Pity to waste the crisp breading, but oh well. The four shrimp were large, firm, cooked just right, not dry at all. Steamed veggies were good. Meal was good, and there was plenty. Had to take half home. Hana came back to check on us and ask us if we wanted more drinks and how the food was. Derek the manager for the evening also came to check on us while we ate. We were well taken care of. Both of us enjoyed our meals. Mahalo to Pearl at Kalauao staff for a great meal.

    Seen this place a lot, but just saw it as a bar, so I never stepped in. Met my friends there at…read morethe suggestion of one of my friend's that I met. I was pleasantly surprised with the food there. Has the char siu chicken Katsu- very good Kalua nachos- very good Fried noodles- very good (chewy noodles how O like it) Kal bi- very good Needless to say, I've been back again and again! A must try! No need drink, just enjoy good food!

    Second and last time coming to this location. We overlooked our first visit when my wife was done…read moreeating and I still hadn't gotten my food yet. It was the weekend and busy. But our second time was a mellow Wednesday for lunch and while the timing was better (still not synced), the food was either meh or completely shameful. Yes, shameful! Wife got the Caesar salad with char siu chicken katsu. The chicken was ono but the salad was lazy. Basic greens with a low-quality bottled sauce squeezed on top. No wonder it came out five minutes before mine. I got the fish tacos with tots (extra $2), and this dish was the most egregious rip off I've ever seen in a restaurant. No wonder the server dropped it and ran. For $18, I got three street taco-sized flour tortillas, goopy mayo-laden "slaw", and pico with a teeny tiny piece of fish on top. See the pics! Smaller than my thumb. Barely two tater tots in size. And because it was plopped into mayo slaw, it was soggy on arrival. The fish was also suspiciously fishy tasting. I debated eating it. I ended up making one taco with all the fish and a potato taco with some tots before finally giving up. I know things are tough for restaurants right now. But this was ridiculous. I paid and left and called it a lesson learned. I'll likely stick to the Pucks Alley location from now on. Still some pride in what they serve there.
