I've been eating at CPK forever and I had the best server I've ever had at the Kahala location. Kiana was absolutely amazing. Super pleasant and well spoken, informative and just cheerful the entire time. She provided the type of service you'd expect at a fine dining establishment, I can't celebrate her service enough. Food is normally consistent at this location but one of the salads we ordered (burger in a bowl) had a little too much dressing, and we had the stem of the tomato. Salad was good besides the generous dressing however, so don't skip it on the menu! Just order light dressing, or maybe on the side. We also ordered a to go item for my son since it was right before school pick up, and Kiana timed it perfectly to come out just as we paid the check. She also was consistently refilling drinks without even being asked, and was just so pleasant and talkative to everyone. Not only was she managing multiple tables, (it was pretty busy!) but her service never faltered. We were very impressed. read more

Normally love eating at CPK but today when we went with our whole family there was two incidents that happened. The first one was when the drinks fell on my sister in law. The worker who did it apologized but the whole seat was sticky and she was soaking wet/sticky from the iced tea and lemonade. When she had let the manager know while we were leaving that the seat was sticky she made it sound like it was not a big deal. She knew of the incident but didn't apologize about it at all. The second incident was when I found a hair in my salad so they had to bring me a new one. The manager had come to apologize for that. Idk if it was just me but I feel like something should've been comp for the meal since two things happened and one person was actually freezing cause of the first incident . Was very disappointed since we come to this location all the time read more

I am pleasantly surprised at how fast and amazing the service was tonight. I've been to this location a few times before and the service wasn't the best. I stopped going to this location for a while because of that. But I decided to take a chance and go with my fiancé because I was craving the garlic cream fettuccine! This is always my go to dish whenever I eat at CPK. (Please don't ever get rid of it! I love it so much!) Also because I had a gift card I got for Christmas last year lol I like that they have a text message system for the wait list now instead of the pager thing they used to have. It's very convenient! (It's been a while since I've dined this location lol) As soon as I got the text that the table was almost ready, we got seated right away. Our server was quick to help us get our drinks and order started. He was a nice young Asian boy with glasses. (I can't remember his name!ahh) There was another guy helping us too which was nice! We later found out there's people helping the restaurant from the Special Olympics tonight. There's a fundraiser for them if you want to help donate. Our order came out really fast. It was the fastest I've ever received the food here! The restaurant was super busy too. So I was genuinely surprised and how fast everything was. We managed to get in and out basically within 30 minutes! Thats a record. Especially since we were personally on a time crunch tonight If every service was like tonight, I would definitely come back sometime! All the staff did a wonderful job. read more

Another successful birthday lunch! Service was excellent. The food was delectable, however the dumplings were cold. Odd. It was quite noisy where we were (center dining room) and a tad bit warm (glass windows @ 11:45 6/28/26). Mom turned 93 and proceeded to eat the whole shrimp lettuce wrap appetizer, BY HERSELF! Great appetite! Parking was a challenge. Overall, B+ read more

CPK has been a consistently favorite spot for family dining over the years, and the Kahala Mall location is no different. The food is always good, as it's the service. It was my granddaughter's 2nd birthday, so we decided to have lunch here on a rainy Friday. The mall was fairly busy, even on a rainy day, and CPK was about half full. They're prepared for families with young children, providing a children's menu with crayons for coloring. My 2 year old GD likes corn, so we ordered the street corn appetizer, along with the spinach dip with chips. I had the chicken piccata, which was shared with my GD (she ate almost one full piece), along with a pizza and the apps. Our servers were good, providing attentive service and responding to our F&B needs. The Kahala location is fairly large, with multiple dining areas, and I'd definitely come here again. read more

In case you didnt know the CPK Kahala is the #1 busiest and highest grossing CPK in the US, and our Ala Moana Location is #2. They are always busy and do a lot of take outs. They do not take reservations but will call you when your table is ready. My son loves CPK and chose it for his bday dinner. Service is always great and I love that they have seasonal specials to keep it interesting. The new grilled salmon picatta was delicious, and the steak chopped salad was yummy. I noticed they removed the Jambalaya from the menu;( but they may bring it back. Even though its always crowded we still love this CPK for the food, service and location. read more

We ate here at lunch after a business meeting. On the whole, the food and service were great. Ambiance is always going to be a bit noisy with a chain restaurant. We ordered a wedge salad (Iceburg lettuce with a bit of bacon and blue cheese dressing) and a mushroom, pepperoni and sausage pizza (hand tossed). The salad was fresh but could use a bit more bacon. The pizza was nicely full of toppings with a light crust. Our server was excellent. read more

Crowded weekend, service was amazing but the food was not good. Ordered Ribeye steak medium rare but it was well done and super tough. Sautéed onion was not cooked enough... broccoli had no taste. Thai crunchy salad was good. We usually sit at the bar counter so didn't know but this time we sat in the dining room and it was super laud there. read more

Good food very good service, casual ambiance. It's all what they do well. Really liked the tortilla soup. Have had and like the bbq chix pizza. However, the Thais salad lacked flavor. Needed something more as it was cabbage based, not lettuce. Won't be ordering that one again. read more

Disappointed to say the least. We have always enjoyed CPK but this was not that same experience we usually have. To preface, it wasn't super busy. It took a little time to take our orders but not too bad. We ordered the short rib lasagna, burnt ends pizza and a kids fusilli. We then see them bringing out food to other tables as we wait thinking maybe ours takes a little longer. I end up taking my daughter walking around cause she is getting restless as the time goes on. 20 minutes had already passed. Finally, after 30 minutes I stand up and have to find someone to tell our server to check on our order. Then a manager comes by and asks how we are doing, I tell her we have been waiting a while and our food still hasn't come out. I get apologies from both of them but still nothing. Finally my 1 year old daughter's meal comes out. Mind u this is noodles and olive oil. Yes that's it and it took 40 minutes. Then another 5-10 minutes for our meals. The kicker was my daughter's meal comes with a milk. They forgot it and we were so hungry we forgot too. I had to find someone to get our bill and then let them know they forgot the milk but forget it already cause it's too late. Apologize were said but seriously, at this point it was too damn late. I don't know if it was the server not putting our order in, or a mix up at the kitchen, or just a bad day but CPK KAHALA you gotta do better. read more

CPK is a staple in my family's restaurant rotation because it's convenient. But I think it's strange that nearly everytime we go, the menu is different! We all know that means prices increase with each printing. It is fun to have different (new) things to try, but I think most have been flops. Even their old, classic items have been inconsistent lately. For example, salads have gotten smaller with less dressing. Similar with pastas - smaller with less sauce. Recently we ordered salmon picatta with brocollini for over $30. It was a ridiculously small piece of salmon with 2 pieces of brocollini single stalks. Very sad. Best deal is happy hour. However the items are very "flavorful" so may just want to stick with your favorite entrees. Service is ... kind staff but last time we were basically forgotten. Tables around us turned over 3 times. Kahala take out is so popular but the flavor and portion just isn't the same. Being that we dine in fairly often, we've learned to stick with what we enjoy eating. read more

We haven't been in this restaurant for quite sometime now, but we always enjoy the place, the food, the ambiance. And, the service is always phenomenal. Since we received so many gift cards for Christmas so we're back and enjoyed the pizza, the bolognese spaghetti, and the artichoke dip. We will keep coming since we have not really had a bad experience!!! Will keep coming and highly recommended!!!! read more

Ambiance: Busy with a lot of Holiday shoppers. It was the usual time for the evening dinner rush, 6:30 thru 7:30 pm. 5-star service this evening. Wait time was on par, seated within 30 minutes as quoted. Thank you Josh for your ability to multitask and remain calm as a host. Truly the 5 star rating goes to our service provider, Kristin. She greeted us as soon as we were seated. She took our drink order and she said she would be right back to take our food order and she actually came back within minutes with warm bread. We ordered our usual, salad and pastas and they were served within 20 minutes. Krystin was on top of things by coming back to check if we needed anything. Chicken piccata and pastas were presented perfectly. Great job kitchen crew! I'm impressed after so many years....CPK is making a come back with great service and food. Thank you!No photos this time, just wanted to recognize the outstanding service we experienced from Krystin this evening. so smooth and efficient, I hope you can train others with your methodical ability to ensure you checked all the boxes to provide great service. Thank you very much! read more

09/12/25 Had a really nice lunch with friends today. Thai salad was delicious, full of red cabbage, cucumbers, cilantro, peanuts and flavor. I ate the whole thing! Service was perfect, nice young man who was so attentive and prompt. The butter cake was huge that I could not finish all. What would I do different? Ask that the salad hold the onions and serve the butter cake with the Ice cream separately. Our server said everything is made to order so no problem. read more

FOOD: our go-to's are the Full Bbq Chicken Chopped Salad n' Thai Chicken Pizza with a side of ranch, which we ordered n' always tastes great. Complimentary bread with oil n' herbs is a nice bonus to our meal. My son ate all of his kids crispy chicken meal with fruit, so that meant he really liked it. They were able to make my daughters' Mac n' cheese with spaghetti noodles at no additional cost; the portion was a lot so it was great for my two girls to share. I enjoyed my Golden Cadillac Rita. SERVICE: friendly n' attentive INTERIOR: plenty of seating, kid-friendly, spacious to fit our stroller EXTERIOR: located at Kahala Mall near Macy's WAIT TIME: 10 mins to be seated PARKING: free lot OVERALL COMMENTS: came to celebrate my daughter's 3rd birthday n' we had 2 coupons that we received after taking Easter Bunny photos with Expressions the previous month. It was for a free kids meal with every adult $20 purchase. Each kids meal was $8.49 x 2, so that got marked off our bill along with the complimentary bday sundae (thank you!). Also came during Happy Hour so our appetizer, cocktail, n' beer were at a discounted price. Great food, good service, n' the discounts made it an awesome visit! read more

I don't really understand the hype. The pizza doesn't do anything exceptional I don't think. It's not bad, but not mind boggling, and also isn't cheap. Solidly not $22 worth in my books. The pasta was even more of a ripoff though - we tried their promo short rib lasagna - which was decidedly lacking in both short ribs and sauce. So so dry. The wedge salad was probably the best value for what you get. Overall though, mediocre food, at $100 for a family of four, all for the pleasure of eating in the hall at the mall (this part was definitely the worst - it was meant to be a treat dinner out for the kids and we may as well have eaten in the food court). Our waiter was lovely and tried her best. The hostess was completely bewildered and gave away our spot in line twice. Can't imagine returning, there's just not enough redeeming. read more

Located in Kahala Mall on East side of the mall near Chili's restaurant. We had the wild mushroom pizza and a small size Caesar salad, which was very good the mushroom pizza was great lots of flavor and the crust done right chewy with a crispy crust. The Caesar salad small was just right side and it came with fresh vegetables and croutons and Parmesan cheese. The build your own sundae was delicious and we enjoyed the strawberry purée and the fudge and nuts. Service was good and pretty fast, for they were fairly packed when we went. Restroom was clean and well kept. read more

Sometimes it is incredibly challenging to maintain one's equanimity, and last night proved that point. After waiting around 10 minutes to be seated, we were given a shady, tiny table--despite the fact that many far more desirable tables were clearly available throughout the restaurant. When my loved one asked the receptionist if we could be moved to a better table, he told us they were "not available" or "not open." Seriously? I understand that this place is popular and almost always packed, but after last night's experience, I've decided to cross this eatery off my list. If I want California Pizza Kitchen, I'll go to the much friendlier location at Ala Moana Shopping Center instead. That said, there are plenty of pizza restaurants around that offer better food and, more importantly, a far superior dining experience. Hope my fellow Yelpers who experienced alike situation to share their feelings. read more

food was off order steak salad first bite i choked not expecting the balsamic vinegar to be sooo but oh well guessing i should order dressing on the side. gd had some strawberry lemonade she alsooo took her first sip and choked as well.. she wasn't sure what she wanted the waitress suggested tomato basil pasta she opted for it then the waitress also suggested meat sauce which would have been a better choice for a 9yo but didn't want to make a fuss and stuck w tomato basil my opinion only not a good choice for kid. next time we'll have to think and not rush. i had a mango lilikoi tea and there wasn't any flavor just tea.. we also did appetizer lettuce wrap that was good alone mayb that's what we doing if we go back read more

The costco deal on gift cards brought me back here! I've always enjoyed dining here at this cpk so the gift card was just a good excuse to get out there again. One of my favorite dishes here is the chicken piccata. The way they make it here gives it this nice balance between creamy and citrusy. The capers sometimes do feel a bit heavy but not something i would complain about unless i was nit picking. Also gotta love the complimentary bread and olive oil they give with your meal. One of my favorite parts of dining at cpk read more

Good service with a smile, extra servings of bread and bbq sauce, and we're good to go! Pasta with mushroom, mushroom pizza, and a bbq chopped chicken salad were served in no time, our apologies that we dug in before photos could be taken. The special take n bake pizza upon dining in is available for $11, so that was a no brainer. Both of our families ordered one to go. Great time to CPK as they are offering their black card anniversary secret bonuses for every diner. $each card is a winner which starts off with $5 off your next purchase! By the time we left it sure was crowded! We were seated well past the restrooms. We had a great table with lighting, but the people next to us moved themselves when they were seated in a dark spot. read more

Got the Neapolitan Burrata pizza and the Mini butter cake flight with Dark Chocolate & Brownie Crumble, Strawberries with Purée, Smoked Bacon & Maple and vanilla Häagen-Dazs® ice cream for my birthday treat yum. We weren't expecting the burrata and other toppings seperate, which was really good! The burrata was really creamy and yummy! We were glad the salt was seperate as well so you can control how much you can put. We will eat that pizza again for sure! The dessert was good but...not as good as other people said in my opinion :/ But thank you so much for a birthday dessert!! read more

It's a state holiday and when you holo-holo around... you get hungry! Popped into CPK at Kahala Mall with the hubby on a whim to try out some new menu items. There was a brief wait, but we were next in line and seated within 10 minutes. The restaurant was surprisingly busy at 2:00 pm but our waitress Kela took excellent care of us and quickly brought ice water and house bread. We wasted no time and ordered the Spinach & Artichoke Dip ($14.99) with chips. It is a tried and true appetizer, and delicious. The only unfortunate thing is that this came out just moments before our entrees, so our 2-top table got crowded very quickly. We didn't know what we were hungry for and settled on the Wild Mushroom Pizza ($22.99) on cauliflower crust(!) and Chicken Picatta pasta ($22.49). The Mushroom Pizza was divine! Simply made, with pretty much just olive oil, garlic, cremini mushrooms three types of cheese, it was absolutely scrumptious and left us wanting more! The Chicken Picatta is something I love to eat at Italian restaurants. The flavors of the lightly breaded chicken cooked with lemon and capers, then served on linguine - this is one of my comfort foods. It always make me smile and my tummy happy! Thankfully I'd eaten so much of the Spinach Artichoke Dip and Wild Mushroom Pizza that I was able to pack the leftovers for my lunch the next day. I still dream about that pizza!! Everything was delicious and by the time we left, most of the lunch rush had left, and the restaurant was tidied up and ready for more customers. read more

Headed over to our favorite CPK after an event. It wasn't too busy but it looked like they were really short staffed as there were quite a few empty tables & some that hadn't been bussed yet. Once we were seated, Joseph took our drink orders (always have their homemade lemonade), then lunch. One thing that needs to be advertised is that thanks to some of the employees, CPK has brought back their WALDORF SALAD for a limited time!!! That's what we ordered and it was just as delicious as it ever was!! If you are a fan of this delicious salad, jam packed full of goodness, ask for it next time you drop by any of their locations locally. read more

If you ever need dine in restaurant at, this is one of options in Kahala mall. it does get busy especially on weekends, Fridays, expect to wait, provide number so they can text you when table is ready. My fiancee likes to order spinach artichoke dip as appetizer. I had the Banh mi sandwich with salad and he had the BBQ chopped chicken salad. They always changing their menu. The sandwich was not bad, sauce was bit spicier than expected it to be. Waiter who served us was friendly and accomodating. read more

We had been wanting to dine at CPK for months, finally an opportune time manifested itself. Our server was Katelyn, she was perfection. Polite and courteous, her attention to us was much appreciated. We ordered a small soup, a half charcuterie salad and a mushroom pizza. My husband order the red wine flight and it turned out to be a good deal. The wines were good and my husband is quite picky. The wild mushroom pizza was cooked just right and I was so pleased with the amount of sliced mushrooms was very generous. The one complaint we could make was the salad was over dressed. The taste of vinegar was very overpowering. Mahalo Nui Loa to Kahala CPK for an enjoyable evening out! If only you were dog friendly! read more

If I could give NO STARS, I would! Waited over 10 minutes at the host podium and there was no acknowledgment. Not even a "Hello!" or a "We will be right with you!" So we didn't even make it in to the restaurant. Its not like it was busy, everyone was talking story and I guess fussing with utensils was more of a priority, than greeting or seating customers. I don't think we will be coming back. read more

I ordered the Pizza Neapolitan Burrata in the restaurant for my birthday, and it was absolutely amazing. Because I loved it so much, I ordered the exact same pizza for takeout today. Unfortunately, the takeout version was nothing like what I had in the restaurant. The burrata cheese came in a separate container, ice cold straight from the refrigerator, and the fresh basil was also packed separately. Anyone who's had burrata knows the creamy center is meant to soften and spread over the warm pizza. Because the burrata was so cold, it wouldn't even spread. Instead of enjoying the pizza, I would have had to put it back in the oven just to warm the cheese enough to get the same experience I had in the restaurant. That's not what I expected when I ordered takeout. I called and spoke with the manager because I thought there had been a mistake. She told me that's how they serve it for takeout and that next time I should ask for the burrata and basil to be put on the pizza before it's boxed. My question is: How would I know to ask for that? If takeout is prepared differently than dine-in, customers should be told when they place their order. No one mentioned it, and I had no reason to think I'd have to request that the pizza be assembled the way it's served in the restaurant. The pizza itself is excellent, which makes this even more disappointing. This could have been avoided with one simple question when I ordered: "Would you like the burrata and basil packed separately or placed on the pizza?" I hope they change their process or at least let customers know they have a choice. read more

Not just pizza... Don't get me wrong there can't be a day that I wouldn't want a pizza let alone a crafted piece with selected toppings unique to CPK which I'd love any day and I've been to this Kahala Mall location which is right beside Macy's numerous times and has always been good if you have great timing to snag a table. This Kahala location is surprising quite spacious though they don't really use the back as I'm not a fan of eating just inches away from shoppers walking by which the area they use frequently as the tables as well are very very close to other so getting out and walking by other diner is uncomfortable. What I do love is how they keep things revolving and I love either seasonal or just something new or limited and since it's been awhile everything seems new to me and it had to be the "Braised Short Rib Ragu" BAM! along with their house bread with seasoned olive oil it was indeed the comfort lunch that was very much needed. Service is a delight as she kept coming bak to check on me and refill my water I can see why many flock over for a break and some yummy comfort food. Thank you! read more

My daughter and I went in this evening and were seated pretty quickly. However, it took 15 minutes for someone to even acknowledge our presence. Waited another 15 for our order to be taken. When the food came out my daughter's meal had meat in it which she specifically asked for none. They happily took it back, but I ate my meal alone. Another 15 which we asked to take to go. We had also messed up a pizza (that was on special) we asked for Thai pizza, we don't know what they gave us, look at picture. I will say they were crowded but that is no excuse in my opinion! Won't be returning! read more

Update 11-25-25. We was going to eat ramen today but since my husband needed to take blood for hes upcoming appointment. Clinical lab in Kahala mall is hes go to place. So he said since we're there we go have lunch at CPK. We had a half Italian chopped salad my husband had macaroni and cheese with smoke bacon. I had spaghetti colognes. Both was very good had lots to take hone for dinner. Now getting to the service the hostess sat us down within 10 mins after checking in she said our server Joe will be with you we sat down with the menu and utensils but no water no server yet. Finally after I would said about 20 mins maybe less finally server Joe came. Took our drink order and automatically we knew what we wanted already so he said he'll be back with bread and the water and ice tea. The food came out very fast all one time salad and main entrees. The food was brought by another server. What happen to Joe. Well we finished our meal and waiting for the check and take out containers but nothing came to our table no check no containers. I told my husband I know its lunch time but how come taking the server so long to bring the check and containers finally after another 15 or 20 mins pass by he came with the check and containers. Told my husband was he taking orders from other tables that's why hes back logged. Not checking on the people that he waited on first. Maybe more tables he waits on the more tips.

So disappointed. I haven't had CPK in a while but decided on getting a take out of the Thai crunch salad and lettuce wraps, the lettuce wraps were great as I remembered. I tried the Thai crunch for the first time which I asked no peanuts. They didn't put any peanuts which I appreciated but there was literally 2.5 pieces of chicken in this $20 salad! I'm confused and called the store. They said the manager would call me back after getting my contact information, but they didn't. Why would you advertise chicken if there's only 2 pieces. Shocked, disappointed, and confused. Don't get salad at this location. I guess the positive is there's pick up parking in front of the restaurant and my lettuce wrap was tasty.. read more

We ordered take out.....kids meal, pepperoni pizza, asian crunch salad, and split pea and barley soup. The asian crunch is my fav....but not so much this time. There was not enough leafy stuff like won bok....there was alot of peanuts, red cabbage and cucumbers...asked for extra avocados but it didn't look like it happened. The dressing was the same, nice touch of spice. The pizza were so, so....i feel that is you eat there it would be better. The soup so far, has not changed, nice, rich and so comforting.
