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.

The food was ok, it is a spin on your typical poke or sushi for that. The portions are smaller for some local braddahs, like my husband but it was perfect for me.

I don't visit Kapolei as often anymore but EARL in Kapolei is the only store that offers Gelati -…read moreItalian Ice with frozen custard soft serve. I had a coupon from their loyalty rewards program and redeemed it when I ordered takeaway via Square. EARL's new proprietary app is up and running but I haven't downloaded it; the previous app was good. Their weekend special to end the month of May 2026 caught my eye. Infinity Burger, which is a smash burger with sauce and Cooper Sharp cheese. Fantastic...made it a double. The Gelati was also excellent. I paired it with Blue Raspberry Italian Ice - excellent. Service was excellent. I could not order the Gelati online...probably because it is only available in Kapolei and not their other two locations in town. Cashier accomodated me and I added to the tip jar. Open daily from 1000a till 900p. Located in Ka Makana Ali'i....so there are lots of stalls available.

Avoid this spot - try the other locations…read more Man I really wanted to like this place. Unfortunately upon walking in only 2 of the 6 tables were clean and two of the sandwiches I had wanted to pick up were actually specials and not offered regularly. Ok, understandable. Ordered two other sandwiches and a gelati. When the food came out, the gelati was overflowing the cup and one of the two sandwiches was stuffed so full the toppings wrapped around the bread, soaking it and making it more of a salad than anything else. For almost $60 this was a real bummer of an experience. I'm no stranger to East Coast style subs and kind of the seedy corners the best ones usually occupy but this spot is just not it. The ingredients themselves seem good, there just seems to be a lack of care at this location. Try one of their other storefronts if you want to give this business a go.

We thought it was a great place to do work since it's outside and the title of the restaurant has cafe in it. It's super spacious inside and outside.

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.

I wouldn't order it again. The flavor wasn't what I was expecting it be. It definitely was more on the custard side. I got the pesto sandwich, which was perfectly grilled and ratio of ingredients were great. They were out of a bit of ingredients when we went, so it was unfortunate, but they tried to make recommendations based on what we originally wanted. We went during a slow time, so there were a lot of open tables and seats inside. The outside dining area is really pretty.

It's an ABC store with a made to order kitchen, so you could order hot food as well. They have monthly specials, coffee and other drink options (milk tea, smoothies, etc) - and all the cute souvenirs you could imagine! If you don't see musubi's out, just ask. They may have some in the back. They also have katsu musubi's ($5). We ordered a few things here and everything was pretty good! Even the loco moco was better than the one at our resort... If you order from the smoothie counter (where they have smoothies, açaí bowls, milk tea, pastries and gelato) - get a punch card. There's $5 off once you get 10 punches. Also, you have to pay for parking. Don't try to pass this up. We've seen the tow truck a few times here, doing their job! Overall, it's a great option away from resort prices!

I ordered a beef stew this time with double rice and in their coffee and smoothie area they had mango sticky rice which I have been wanting to try for a while. It was actually really good!

I told myself that I would only spend 30 minutes here, but I ended up extending my parking four times. No regrets and no parking ticket.

This location is half cafe, half convenience store. The entrance is on the inside of the mall, opposite of the parking lot. The menu is on the glass, and it provides the name, price and picture of the food item. This location is more of a pickup/ takeout as there is only 1-2 tall tables in the store.
