    Friday special
    Allen N.

    This was my first time dining at Pearl at Kalauao since the renovation, although I've been here many times to play golf. Beautiful golf course overlooking Pearl Harbor. The menu is pretty simple and straightforward, with a good variety of reasonably priced lunch options. This restaurant gets very busy around noon. When I visited, there were quite a few groups of friends meeting up for lunch, which gave the restaurant a lively, friendly, and welcoming atmosphere. Overall, a nice place to grab lunch if you're in the area. The menu is simple, prices are reasonable, and the atmosphere is especially lively around lunchtime. Enjoy!

    Service, drinks, food...all excellent! Came for dinner and everything was great from start to finish.

    Stepped into our frame. We stopped filming without being asked. Then reassured we wouldn't

    I'm mostly a five star review kind of guy The exchange was so awkward today zero stars, except for the first waitress, who greeted us very friendly, warm, a lot of Aloha. We came here based on the yelp reviews and wanted to take the same pictures Everybody else took when they dined here , however our waitress said that she was uncomfortable with being around cameras and even went inside and had the general manager humiliating come out to our table and tell us that staff members do not wish to be on cameras. We were a low key quiet couple at best. What makes this exchange to awkward is that when the waitress said she did not want to be part of the yelp review , we graciously told her that was fine and we placed our order. There was no long discussion no attitude and no sass from anyone. It was three adults that came to an understanding. In the restaurant business, there's something called table touching and that's when the general manager pays a table a visit to see how everything is going or how everything went. What we assume was a table touching was actually an interrogation of who we were ? why are we taking pictures ? etc. In my 21 years living on this island, I've never had anybody come out and behave this way, especially not a general manager , because of a paranoid waitress As embarrassed as I was in front of my husband, I spoke to the general manager inside away from my table and ask them does he approach every single yelper? And he never introduced himself. He just started asking questions the body language everything was off. Out of professionalism and courtesy when he approached our table, we both stood on our feet and greeted him with a smile and extended our hands We will never return to this restaurant Because we felt very unwelcomed by the general manager and the waitress older woman in her 50s or 60s. Well, we did enjoy with seeing all the local people eating there. It's been a while since I've eaten any anywhere that didn't have tourist everywhere. We got as far as the coffee and the complementary corn muffin And please see below as we were recording the front of the restaurant when the waitressed step outside and we turned the camera off. She was about 10 feet away. Maybe next time we won't come dressed as tourist lol. I apologize if I violated any laws, but I thought that as long as we were in public and you can, use your camera. There is no expectation of privacy in a public restaurant, but I guess they have different rules I would be happy to respect if I had known about them in advance. I just wanted to promote the restaurant with a five star review nothing more nothing less Somebody made a big deal out of nothing and the restaurant lost the table today And we're a decent couple we don't look for trouble with nobody

    I had a friend visiting from seattle, and we were trying to decide where to have lunch. I remember having lunch here during the pandemic, and decided to include this as one of the options. We wanted to have lunch at 1130, so I called to inquire about a reservation for 3. I was told that there might be a short wait, but a reservation was not necessary. My friend and I ordered the BLT sandwich and our other friend ordered some sort of chicken. We all enjoyed our food, more so it was a nice place to sit and have a conversation. Our server was efficient, I sound recommended this spot for a quick get together. The food options are not fancy, but it came out quickly and we had no complaints.

    There was a large party upstairs with live music and a bar. The restaurant is down a flight of stairs on the left of the lobby. We had reservations for 6 at 11:30 a.m. The place filled up fast. We had a sweet young server. I think it depends on what you order. There is a children's menu. Our orders were: Kiddie chicken & fries Saimin Ochazuke salmon Club sandwich Chicken and chili Kalbi plate Later we had dessert: Vanilla ice cream Chocolate ice cream Fried chocolate ice cream 2 pumpkin crunch The prices are reasonable for lunch. With tax and tip our check was $160+ for 6. Hubs said that was the best club sandwich he ever had. I was sad to see that Sweetie's noodles looked overcooked and mushy. My kalbi had a bit too much charred ends with the most burnt one hidden by the rest under them on the bottom. They have coffee but no ice coffee. The server asked if Sweetie wanted refill on her Sprite. Kiddie's mom asked for a tea cup for the tea pot. She made a haku lei for me but I chose to wear it around my neck- she said like a horse at the derby. Wish I could but... I can't pull off wearing a haku lei. After lunch we went outside to take photos and the greens looked nice. A nice man passing by offered to take our group photo. Thankyou. Big mahalo to the caring gentleman at the Podium who drove me down on the golf cart. Stairs and I aren't friends. It was easier to walk up to the parking lot afterwards from the farthest left of the restaurant. The only bad thing were flies buzzing around during our meal even though it was indoors.

    Prime rib sandwich.  My friend really enjoyed this one
    Wesley T.

    I like this restaurant but I can't fix the service flaws, I can only point them out. Again, the food was good. The prime rib sandwich was thoroughly enjoyed and the fish and chips are delicious. My chili and rice was tasty but the chili was kind of cold. That being said, there was a lack of service again. We got a reservation for a party of 4 for lunch at 12:00. We were able to get a reservation because of what happened the last visit few came here. The food is enjoyable but the service is extremely slow. We were seated in a corner and waited forever to get served. Other tables that came after us were getting their food before us. My chili was served cold and we waited a very long time fore our check and for our payment to be processed. Our meal lasted over 2 hours. Not too bad if your intention was to catch up with old friends but way too long for lunch. If you do not have a long time for lunch, avoid this place.

    Seafood pasta and keiki pizza
    Mari T.

    Came here for a food event but it was too hot to wait in line outside so we decided to try the air conditioned restaurant. My mom has highly recommended this place and I'm so glad we tried it! They had a seafood pasta special with crab legs, shrimp and fish and tomato cream sauce and garlic bread. The crab was very time consuming and a hassle but the dish itself was very delicious and the garlic bread was very garlicky, yum. Shrimp plump and fish nuggets decent. Very reasonable prices. Taylor got chili chicken mix plate with potato salad. He was expecting a fried chicken thigh but was surprised that it was karaage style. He loved the flavor of the chili though and the potato mac salad was very good (I ate most of it since it had black olives). We also got the keiki cheese pizza it was ok. Can't wait to come back to try the fried noodles!

    Sweet and sour spareribs with tossed salad
    Kainani K.

    Excellent customer service! Our waitress was really nice and patient with us. We decided to get the keiki short stack, scrambled eggs and corned beef, and the scrambler with veggies and brown rice. Everything was delicious and seasoned perfectly. The keiki pancakes had a slightly sweet taste to it, which is good because we don't use any syrup on the pancakes.

    lunch menu
    Peter Y.

    Great place for a casual lunch. Most of the patrons are golfers waiting for their tee times or have finished playing. There are others who probably work in the area and are on a lunch break. Their menu is diverse with local favorites, sandwiches, salads, and local comfort foods. You can always find something to eat for lunch which suits your taste. I have been there twice now and the food is pretty good. I had the salmon ochazuke, my property manager had the fish sandwich, and our two clients had salads. They also provide complimentary potato chips to the table, which they make fresh at the restaurant. Most of the fare is less than $20.00. Service is great and friendly. If you are in the area, you should check it out. Not a typical lunch spot but great place to try.

    Pearl Mix Plate $24
    Reuben L.

    Wow, this is the first time dining here. Such a nice scenery facing the Golf course. There are indoor and outdoor seating. We sat on the outside to view the course but there was heavy vog in the skies. Food server was very nice and accommodating. Our order came out in a timely matter. They served us some chips for an appetizer. I thought it was a little over seasoned tho. I had the Pearl Mix Plate which came with Pulehu Ribeye, Fried Chicken, and Breaded Fish with French Fries. The steak was cooked more on the well-done side due for the thin cut, but flavorful. It was different for me, because I usually have it m/r. The fried chicken and breaded fish was just ok. The Salmon Ochazuke was excellent, it came with a pot of tea. A great tasting dish, very flavorful. We came back the next day to try different items. This time we sat indoors. We started with the Arabiki and Cabbage appetizer, a great way to start lunch. We had the Chef's Shrimp Scampi with garlic bread. It was really good, but I wish the shrimp was a little bigger. Also we had the I'A Fish Salad. The fish was Salmon, a very nice portion. It was cooked perfectly. I can't wait to come back to try other items.

    fresh hand cut chips!
    Randall S.

    This restaurant is definitely worth visiting but like The Alley, who would've thought that Pearl City Golf Course would have such a great place? I love their complimentary fresh chips with just a hint of salt and their dishes are excellent. I had their mixed plate and the beef, fish and chicken were excellent! The service is always good and I suggest getting there early before the crowds show up. I don't think it's a good idea to visit during a tournament because this place will fill up fast. Great place for a quiet weeknight dinner. Come by and check it out!

    Rib eye salad
    Ben L.

    Beautiful spot overlooking Pearl Harbor with the golf course. Service was great. Had the rib eye salad which was really good.

    Kalbi
    Jen C.

    I celebrated Christmas here with a couple of friends and who knew this place was so crowded! We waited for a table and I learned why this place is so popular, the food here is really good! This was my first time trying Pearl at Kalauao which is under new ownership of the old pearl Country club We had complimentary potato chips as soon as we sat down. My friend enjoyed her kalbi steak but let me tell you, their ox tail soup is bomb! I want to say the best on island and at a reasonable price of $25. Generous portions of ox tail and vegetables and an amazingly good soup. I can't wait to take family here to try the ox tail soup! I have to compliment their cook on an outstanding meal. This is a great casual place to hang out with friends or family with lots of parking and reasonable prices and friendly staff. ai highly recommend this place!
