Celebrated a special birthday today with a great lunch! One had the mochi waffles with poached eggs, another the clam chowder as she'd already eaten earlier. The other two decided to order the Wagyu burger with Truffle fries and the Lobster roll with salad-then split both! Everything was delicious, and the Olena refresher was yummy. It was my first time there and we had a lovely time. The service was pretty good, and the restaurant layout was airy. There is a restroom code at reception, but good luck asking for directions. That's ok, got some steps in and discovered it nearby; exit Foodland to the right and turn right. It's clean and spacious!
The coffee? INCREDIBLE. Quality ingredients, amazing flavors, and enough caffeine to make me believe I can answer 47 emails, manage multiple projects, solve everyone's problems, and still have the energy to be a pleasant human being. My go-to drinks are the banana latte and Kahala Cafe frappe. Both are strong, delicious, and should probably be classified as performance-enhancing substances. But the real reason I keep coming back? THE MORNING CREW. Shay is basically my personal caffeine pharmacist. She makes my drinks, and at this point, I trust her with my morning more than I trust myself. Autumn, Ryan, Judy, Sabrina, Nolan, Kari, Mickael, Josh and the rest of the crew are genuinely some of my favorite people. They're friendly, funny, welcoming, and somehow manage to make me feel like a VIP when I'm really just a woman occupying valuable bar real estate while answering work emails. I originally came for the coffee. Now I come for the coffee, the conversations, the free unofficial office space, and my daily emotional support staff. 10/10. Amazing coffee, even better people. Would absolutely recommend, but please don't take my seat at the bar. I have deadlines, a caffeine dependency, and a very important meeting with my banana latte.
My go to here is getting an espresso martini and the burger with fries(sometimes truffle fries). The service is usually good. The espresso martini is a consistent drink, nice coffee flavor and shaken enough to create a foam top. The burger with fries is filling for 1 person. I've also tried other dishes such as their lobster roll(which was ok), chicken and waffles, mushroom risotto, their korean breakfast bowl(which wasnt that great), softshell crab benedict. Depending when you go, it can be busy so maybe make reservations. For the most part, this restaurant is consistent food and service wise.
Wonderful breakfast get together with Yelp friends Gail U. and Donna O. at et. al. 5 stars for the great get together! The restaurant has a large bar and counter top area. The bar chairs have gorgeous fabric backing with flower leis. Very welcoming to those who enter the establishment. The tables are standard, as well as the chairs. Spacious area with a variety of table sizes. Service is generally attentive and friendly. We were not rushed out and we were able to eat and talk at ease. Food is average. The Haupia (coconut) French toast was unremarkable. The Haupia flavor was missing and the bottom pieces of toast were on the mushy side. I was not a fan of this dish. Gail's breakfast included a side of 'ulu (breadfruit) tots. This was unique and tasty. Thank you for letting me try it. Donna's mochi waffle was crispy and slightly chewy. The honey walnut chicken was unremarkable. The presentation of this dish is a big fail. Please look at the photos. Thank you for letting me taste your dish. I enjoyed my refillable iced coffee. Perfect for a warm day. Coffee flavor was subtle and almond milk blended well. Bathroom is Not available within the restaurant. You will need to obtain a code and walk outside near the Coffee Bean and Tea establishment. Food: 3/5 Service:4/5 Ambiance: 3/5 Value: 3/5 Bathroom availability: 2/5 Location: 3/5 (Inside the local grocery chain-Foodland) Parking: 2/5. Parking is free but stalls are narrow. The parking lot is crowded, as it's in a shopping mall shared by many other businesses.
My first visit and this restaurant does not disappoint. A menu that would satisfy even the pickiest eater. We visited on Sunday and it was busy. Make reservations. Even though the place was packed, the tables are decently spaced. We had the westside beets and kampachi crudo to start and both were incredible. For brunch we had the Hamakua mushroom risotto and the Miso mushroom florentine. Both amazing. The restaurant is clean. Give yourself time to park and be patient. The service is superb-thank you Mickael for taking care of us.
6-3-2026 We arrived a few minutes before our 9 a.m. table reservations . We could select any table so I asked for the one in the corner: more room, less tables nearby. Our server was very patient as we decided on what to eat and drink. Very knowledgeable of the menu choices- what was popular and what ingredients were used. We each chose something different. Donna had the chicken and waffles plus iced coffee, Jackie tried their French toast and added cream to her iced coffee. I had 2 poached eggs, strips of extra crispy bacon and good tasting ulu tots( breadfruit tots) plus an Olena refresher. On the Open Table on line reservations you can notify them if someone is celebrating a birthday. They brought a nice big scoop of the BEST mango sorbet to Donna with 3 spoons for all of us to try- it was really good. They have beautiful counter chairs decorated with printed views of draped leis.
My wife and i stopped by on a whim on a rare, random day that we didn't have the kids with us. The restaurant is located inside the Foodland at Kahala...very unassuming. We were seated quickly. The place was at around 75-80% full but our waiter was super attentive and helpful. Ended up ordering the Crispy Ahi Confit Croquettes to start. They were absolutely delicious. I also ordered a Garden State drink...because...well...that's my homestate. Really, no other reason than that. The drink was super refreshing and light. Onto the main courses, my wife was super disappointed to learn that they were sold out of her first choice of the Miso Mushroom Melt. Our waiter told us that they had just recently redone the menu and that was one of the newer items and it had been selling out a lot as its super popular. She ended up getting the wagyu burger and enjoyed every bite of it. I ordered the Braised Short Rib Loco Moco with an extra over easy egg. The meat was super tender and flavorful and the crispy onions added that extra layer of texture. Absolutely delicious. To finish off the meal I decided to get a Banana Bread Latte and holy hell was it tasty. So much so that my wife took once sip and immediately ordered a decaf one to go for herself. Definitely check this place out if you can. Just beware the parking lot is SUPER tight...also lots of people that don't know how to pull into their stalls properly. I've seen multiple minor accidents in that parking lot. We even got hit by an elderly lady who was backing up and not paying attention as we were leaving.
This is the restaurant in Foodland in Kahala. Nice ambience. Great for a nice brunch. They have coffee, mocktails, and cocktails. The food is delicious. I got the ahi confit cake Benedict. It's tasty! Eggs perfectly cooked. Comes with salad on the side. Got the avocado toast to share. It was massive! Had a mild spice to it. Service was good. Just took a little long for the check and water refill.
Et Al has quietly become one of those places I know I can always count on. My best friend and I came here for one of our lil dinner date --a tradition we try to keep every so often. We've both been here plenty of times with our families over the years, and we'll come for both brunch and dinner depending on the occasion, but this visit was for dinner. Their menu was recently refreshed, so while a few favorites remain, there are quite a few new dishes to explore. I ordered the Watercress/Kale Salad with Grilled Chicken, while my friend went with the Mushroom Risotto topped with Shrimp. Both dishes were fresh, vibrant, and beautifully plated. Nothing overly complicated--just well-executed food that's consistently reliable. Of course, cocktails were a must. My friend paired her meal with the Lychee Hibiscus Martini, while I started with an Espresso Martini. I'm always on the hunt for a standout espresso martini, and this one definitely delivered--smooth, balanced, and one I'd happily order again. The biggest surprise of the night, though, was the Matcha Whey cocktail. After visiting countless cocktail lounges, I wasn't expecting this drink to stand out as much as it did--but it absolutely did. It looks light and almost transparent, so I wasn't exactly sure what I was expecting, but instead it had this incredibly smooth, creamsicle-like finish that was completely unexpected. Easily one of my favorite cocktails I've had in a long time. My only disappointment is that the bone marrow is no longer a item on the menu. It was one of my favorites, and I hope it makes a return someday. Et Al continues to be one of my favorite dependable spots on the island. It's the kind of place my family gives gift cards to for birthdays and special occasions--not just to me, but to other family members and loved ones as well--because it's somewhere we know we'll genuinely enjoy. Whether it's brunch, a casual girls' night, or a special occasion, it never disappoints. Looking forward to seeing what else comes with the new menu, but one thing's for sure--I'll definitely be back. One thing to note is the parking. There's a shared lot for the businesses in the shopping center, and I've never had much trouble finding a spot. That said, the layout can be a little awkward with its narrow lanes in the entrance and tight turns, so navigating through the lot can be more of a headache than actually parking. Fortunately, once you make it through, the convenience of having dedicated parking makes the visit pretty hassle-free.
This is one of the things I love about Hawaii...an upscale restaurant run by a grocery store chain featuring excellent locally sourced food. I feel like you don't find this anywhere else in the country. Et al. exceeds in service standards, which is warm, friendly and knowledgeable. The ambiance is modern and fresh. Very comfortable! We started with the Sumida Watercress Salad with Green Goddess Dressing. Yum! I had the pan-seared kanpachi over choy sum in a spicy chili water broth! Absolutely delicious. My dining companion had the mushroom risotto and it was a stand out! Reservations are recommended.
Had a nice gift card, so was delighted to try et al., conveniently located across the highway from Kahala Mall. I really like the premise of this family-friendly restaurant, which spotlights fresh, local ingredients, at a mid-range price point. et al. has a lot of good things going for it, The good: 1. Well-lighted, warm-hued interior with a nice, contemporary vibe. The high ceilings, clean lines, and rounded storage vaults reminded me of Italy. Cute "local" Hawai`i touches: palaka-inspired banquette upholstery, Hawaiian-quilt design screening on the tiled floor. -More veggie-forward than a lot of places: always good to find places that don't mask their greens with heavy sauces and treat vegetable preparation with respect. Ovo-lacto vegetarians will not starve at this place. 2. Cheerful, friendly, attentive, and efficient service. Food came out quicky. Cold things were cold; hot things hot. Water was replenished frequently. 3. Overall, we enjoyed the food! It reminded me a little of the old Mariposa at Neiman Marcus Ala Moana, in terms of menu. I appreciated the simple, clean, bright flavors that highlighted the fresh, local ingredients - no heavy-handed demi-glaces or sauces detracting from dishes. While not exceptional or innovative, et al.'s middle-of-the-road, easygoing, familiar, "safe" flavors have broad appeal, making this restaurant a smart bet for parties with non-adventurous diners. I had the catch of the day: my opah came with an addictive, zesty mojo sauce (like a spicy chimichurri, bright with garlic, cilantro, and lime), Ho tomatoes, eggplant, and garlic rice: a winner! My fellow diner had the Kahuku Golden Tomato Malfaldine: tasty, though a bit one-note, but on the other hand, they had perfectly cooked pasta and crookneck squash. 4. While we didn't take advantage of this, the restaurant shows sensitivity to those with dietary needs/preferences. It openly states on its menu that they're willing to modify menu items, making things vegan, gluten-free, dairy free, etc. 5. Easy-peasy online reservation via Open Table. And areas for improvement: 1. Garlic Bread: can't ask for a better foundational base than Chris Sy's Breadshop City loaf: first-rate crusty bread; there was robust garlic flavor, and fresh chives to further amplify savoriness. Unfortunately, my dining partner and I both thought it was over-buttered (couldn't really discern the miso in the miso butter) and overly salty from the cheese. That being said, I'm certain there would be diners that might've thought the seasoning and buttering was perfect: this may be a matter of taste. But $6 for a halved slice of bread? Really?! Ouch. 2. Menu labeling issues: -Sumida Farms Watercress Salad: despite the name, the salad had barely any watercress and mostly kale. Not lacinato kale (Italian kale) either, as advertised on the description, but curly kale. If et al. listed this menu item as kale salad with watercress and didn't specify the type of kale (or hedged by saying "seasonal kale"), it would've been fine. Fortunately, we both like kale, and this was a delicious salad that was an absolute pleasure to eat, deftly dressed with housemade Green Goddess dressing, as good as it comes, fresh kale, watercress sprigs, watermelon radish slices, diced Asian pear, and Marcona almonds: savory, sweet, crunchy. The misleading advertising is problematic. -You should let diners know via the menu description if an item is spicy. The mojo sauce on the fish was dynamite, but I'm a spice-addict, and I'd rank the heat level as medium, maybe medium-hot for most people. Diners with no/low tolerance for chiles should be warned ahead of time. 3. Might want to clean the banquette upholstery: some visible stainage. With a few refinements, I could see et al. becoming a go-to East Honolulu destination for date night, or lunch out with the girls, or a nice but not break-the-bank special dinner out with the family.
Monday May 25, 2026 first time, coming here. Private parking lot for a lot of food places. We didn't have a reservation. We were seated in 5-10 minutes. We came here for breakfast. But, they have a brunch menu instead. Service was fast and friendly. We both ordered the Braised Short Rib Loco Moco. Food came out shortly after. It looked good and tasted good too. The Braised Short Rib was super soft. Ambiance is casual and comfortable in here.
This is now my favorite meal at this restaurant. I am a pescatarian, so I get this at least twice a week. It's so good. I highly recommend it if you like fish. The service is always great. Never really busy when I go in, typically go in around 830-900 on the weekends without a reservation. My boyfriend gets the Loco Moco (he thinks it's one of the best on the island). The restaurant is located inside Foodland, but it's a really nice, clean, aesthetically pleasing place inside My only issue is that I try to call and order ahead for a to-go order, but I can rarely get through.

This is my go to place for mushroom risotto!! Service is always attentive and nice. Every single time I've come here which is about 20+. The restaurant is inside foodland Kahala and there's always a place to sit as they have a large bar area, shared high table, and table seating. It's a perfect place to meet for business or pleasure! read more

My girlfriend and I felt lazy and ordered delivery from Et Al. We got the Risotto, the pesto pizza and the garlic chicken. I don't normally complain about portion size but what the hell is up with the garlic chicken? I opened up the container and felt so disappointed in seeing 2 okay-ish size and 2 manini size bites. The garlic chicken here is like a Zippys Korean chicken wannabe. Btw, it tastes the same, save your money and go to zippys instead folks. You'll get more chicken on your plate there. The mushroom risotto and the pesto pizza were good, nothing special though. Each was the size of a Keiki meal. read more

I ordered the catch of the day. The waiter told me that there were two options, kampachi and swordfish. I told him I was good with either. He decided on the kampachi which was fine, but then I got the bill and there was an $11 surcharge for it. I felt misled. The waiter should have done two things. First is to mention that one is a surcharge. Second, when I said I was good with either; he should not have defaulted to the substitution to the more expensive option. The dish was good but what a scam to be treated like that read more

Everything from here is great! I've been for breakfast, pau hana, and dinner and it's all delicious. I also love the wine selections here! read more
We had a great girls brunch here. The service was good and we got some great recommendations from our waiter. I had the burger (I didn't get a picture before I cut it) and it was good. The pizza was really good too. Our table had it to share and it was a good start to the meal. The banana bread pudding was delicious I would definitely get that again. The ambiance was nice even though it was next to the supermarket it still felt like a nice restaurant. Lots of the other tables looked like they were celebrating something so I would recommend a reservation. If you want a cute place to have a girls day, celebration, or a date night this seems like a good place to do it without going too crazy. I would say about mid tier in pricing with most entrees being around $18-$22. I would definitely go again. read more
Located inside Foodland in the Kahala shopping center is an unpretentious food spot that has a casual vibe. The parking lot around lunchtime was bad however. So be forewarned. The food was good. The beet salad was tasty and fresh but nit special. The highlight was their mushroom risotto...absolutely divine! So creamy with wonderful complex mushroom flavors and garnished with more mushrooms. The galette was not a galette but a puff pastry with apple filling in a lilikoi sauce and a side of vanilla ice cream. Also good, especially with some coffee to balance out the sweetness. read more
One of my favorite meals while we were in Oahu. Near the end of our visit, we were feeling kind of tired of poke and, after wandering around this super fancy Foodland, saw the entrance for et al. Cue the one sit-down restaurant meal we had! Oysters: so plump and juicy. Though not enormous, they were a good size and, yeah, plump is a good way to describe. I could have eaten about six more of them. Perhaps the best oysters I've ever had. Will be thinking of these for awhile. 10/10 Chopped salad: this was the first green vegetable I had consumed in days. The fish I added on the size was a little puny and over-cooked but the rest of the salad (which seemed to be your classic Cobb, with bacon, egg, and avocado) was very fresh. 8/10 Burger: Glad I split this with my husband. Added avocado and a soft egg and it was a monster to try to unhinge my jaw to eat. Loved the truffle fries on the side. Would definitely order the burger again. 9/10 Our waiter, Nolan, was so nice/on top of things/checking in often. The issues other reviewers have cited about food taking a long time didn't materialize with us. Lots of parking spots on a weekday evening. Just a note that their restroom is outside of Foodland and you need a code to access. read more

Love this space. It is calming, takes you out of the hustle and bustle of your day and allows you to relax while enjoying a good lunch. Unexpected for a spot in a market! Service is attentive, quick and kind. I have not had a bad server once. They make you feel wanted, welcomed, and appreciated. And that's all without considering their thoughtfully created menu that taps into local inspirations and serves it up in creative ways. Et al . beautiful and delicious! read more

Damn, their Loco Moco was the best Loco Moco I've had in a long time. I'm not a huge fan of gravy, so I rarely order Loco Moco, but I wanted a rice dish so I ordered et al's. When I order a dish at a restaurant, I rarely ever think that all the stuffs that are put together in a dish complement each other perfectly, but their Loco Moco absolutely did. It was soo tasty, and wasn't overpowered by a ton of gravy, the braised ribs were cooked perfectly and super tasty. The crispy onion toppings gave the salty kick that was necessary, as it could've been a bit bland without it. I really wanna try their burger next time! And it was my birthday so they gave me free hazelnut chocolate gelato and it was really rich and delicious. HIGHLY recommended! read more

Came here for breakfast they have a variety of local sourced greens, ingredients, fresh fruit, and vegetables, and proteins. Breakfast and brunch menu vary from Chia parfait, oysters on the half shell, salads, local favorites, such as short rib, Loco moco, smoked clam chowder with ulu and sourdough toast, Salads, avocado, toast, and traditional egg, breakfast or omelette breakfast. They also had a special of softshell crab eggs, Benedict; but they were out. We shared the roasted beet salad, which was delicious, the smoked clam chowder with sourdough, which was also delicious, fresh oysters was delicious, and mochi waffles with fresh fruit that was fresh and delicious. Hubby had the traditional Scrambled egg, bacon and toast breakfast. Services attentive, and this restaurant also serves a great lunch and dinner where we have been here before. They are in the Kahala market off to the right side of the market. Space is a little cramped. Ambience is tight, but we sat at the bar. Bar is full service from wine, beer, Cocktails Local mimosas. We had the POG mimosa which was delicious. Numerous fresh coffee cappuccinos and Frappuccino's, sister had the cappuccino with the ube which she loved and was delicious. read more

The food is DELICIOUS, the service is AMAZING, and the ambiance is BEAUTIFUL. My husband and I stumbled upon this place for brunch and we are so glad we did. The coffee and cappuccino were so fresh and delicious. The clam chowder and bread were amazing. I got the risotto with shrimp, my husband got the burger, we were so sad that we couldnt finish everything in that one sitting, but we are excited to eat the left overs tonight lol Wayne was our waiter and he made the experience even better. He was very patient, kind, and knowledgeable! read more

Had our Friendsgiving at et al, and it was my first time there. The atmosphere and aesthetics were really nice. The restaurant is actually inside the Kahala Foodland, which was a cool surprise. I ordered the braised short rib loco moco and it was so good. My son had a burger--also good--but the fries were way too salty. Overall, we enjoyed it and I'll definitely be going back read more
I've heard good things about this place, so I had high expectations. However, it turned out to be a really sad situation, and one of the items was close to inedible. We had Braised Short Rib Loco Moco and Rigatoni. The short ribs in Loco Moco was good but fried rice could've been white rice and fried onions were not necessary. I felt that it was one of those trying too hard and ending up failing cases. Rigatoni was very disappointing because the pasta was too hard - I do love Al Dente but this was way too hard and made me feel like I was on a sort of punishment. The braised pork shoulder in the pasta was too greasy. And it was also too salty for my liking. I don't think I'll return here again, unless I'm in the situation that I don't have a choice. I rather go to Eleven or R Field The Bar at Foodland Farms in Ala Moana instead. read more
LOVE love love this place. It's one of those restaurants that i will never turn down, because their food, ambiance and service are just so amazing. as much as i love their lunch and dinner menus, i'm a sucker for all things brunch and this is one of my favorite places to enjoy it We got their short rib arancini, mochi waffles and breakfast bowl which were all so phenomenal. the breakfast bowl is so hefty with a variety of textures and flavors and it reminds me of my favorite hot stone bibimbap dish at korean restaurants with the charred rice bits. the short rib arancini changes often but i loved the unique flavors of this one, and this mochi waffle was so good especially with the blueberry yuzu compote, and the berry add on was so worth it too There's lots of shared parking in Kuono Marketplace and i highly recommend making reservation because it's always crowded, and we almost didn't get a seat when we tried to walk-in too read more

This is a part of the fancy Foodland marketplace in Kahala. Of course it's fancy... it's Kahala! We had reservations but they were behind. They asked if we wanted to sit at the high barstools after 10 minutes. We were seated a few minutes after sitting down. The place is very nice, swank, and clean. The staff are really nice. The food was good and meh. My wife got the lobster roll. I got the braised short rib loco moco. The loco moco part was good. The eggs were great quality. The braised short rib seemed it was more pot roast cooked in a crock pot with little seasoning. The meat was bland. I was really hungry and luckily, my wife finished only half of her lobster roll. She let me finish it off. I have to say I will eat that if we go back. We aren't in Kahala much but this is an option if we might be in the area. read more

THERE ARE NO WORDS for how good this meal was. We used to come all the time for brunch but moved a bit further away and hadn't been back. WHAT A MISTAKE!!!! Dinner here is so, so special. We came for our anniversary on Monday night, it was easy to get a reservation and an accommodating table. My drink (matcha whey) was DELICIOUS, and the oysters were perfection. By far the best oysters I've had on island in years- perfect size + brine, they were gorgeous and so clean. The tako appetizer was incredible as well. We also ordered the tagliatelle and lobster roll, which were amazing, but drinks + apps were my favorite of the whole night. THANK YOU to this amazing staff, service was impeccable and the food was scrumptious. I wanted to cry. It has been so long since I've had a dining experience that feels the way this one did- and it was worth every penny!!! We love you et al read more
Family Date Night! So that was hubs, baby and me. We had a gift card so was hoping it would cover everything, but the way i order it did not. I always like the vibe there...it's chill. First time the music was actually a little loud...or maybe just noticed it? Not like no-can-talk-stories kine loud, just noticeable. Started with drinks and some pupu, ordered din as quick as possible since baby was hungry. - Marrow - we have slaughtered cows and roasted our own marrow. I'm pretty sure restaurants take a little off before serving or else their cows are in desperate need of vitamins. Not much marrow in these bones. But still pretty good. Needs a little bowl of salt to sprinkle. Comes with little bread triangles. Some were a little too koge even for me...baby did not like those. She pounded the rest though. Think with some that feels oily doesn't need bread that's covered in oil. Was a little much. But still a decent dish. - Arancini - loooooove those. Didn't realize it was sitting on some chili sauce. Think that helps elevate it, but baby not a fan of the spice! Whoops. - Hubs had the lamb. He liked it. I don't do lamb. - I had the pork chop, without the sauce. Cooked perfectly. Without sauce it needs some salt. With the sauce is probably tasty, but waitress did say it's sweet so I wouldn't have liked it. But love a good pork chop. The brussels/onions it was on was deeeeelish! A good night. Everyone had enough to eat and we went home with some leftovers. Guess what baby had for lunch... read more

When we enter, we had to wait a few mins and notice that there was an Open area. We were given until a few later. The food service and the presentation is looks amazing. I made my boyfriend try some oysters. It was what I was looking forward. The mochi waffles and garlic chicken and an omelette was very nice. The drink we order some coffee drinks. We aren't coffee drinkers so they were amazing. I would come again order these foods read more

My friend and I wanted to do brunch here and this spot is on OpenTable so it was easy to make reservations! We started off with cocktails because what's a brunch without them! I got a peach Bellini and my friend got an espresso martini. We both enjoyed our drinks. For food, we got the breakfast bowl, braised short rib loco loco and the mochi waffles. The breakfast bowl was pretty good! Pork belly was tender and it felt healthy and filling with all the veggies. It reminded me of a breakfast bibimbap. The loco moco was just ok, the meat had a weird aftertaste to me but the crispy onions were a nice touch to the dish. The mochi waffle was delicious! We had it towards the end of our meal so it was like dessert. Perfectly crispy and chewy and the blueberry compote and whipped cream went so well with it. A super cute and classy place for brunch! Our server was friendly and efficient. The chef also came by to ask if everything was ok which was nice. read more

There aren't too many places to on the east side of Oahu but as you come closer to town (Kahala) you'll find et al. I've made the trek here from the west side to dine with my extended family. et al. is located inside Foodland in a separate dining area. Reservations are a must as it's still quite a popular place to dine. Parking is tight as it's shared parking with Foodland and the adjacent stores. Now the food: I came for the Lobster roll. Shared some mushroom risotto and have ordered the pork belly breakfast bowl on many occasions. Lobster roll was good but I'm wanting a buttery dip (yes it's bad) to go with it. Decent and I'd come back for it. Mushroom risotto was the right consistency but I was expecting an earthier taste to something touted as mushroom risotto. Again not mad at it but my expectations were high. They had me at pork belly but what's kept me, oddly is the pickled carrots that come with it. I would have liked the pork belly at a crispy skin level and piping hot but it wasn't either. Although my meals weren't stellar they weren't bad at all. 5 stars for options other than Kahala mall eateries and restaurant. 5 stars for not being in Waikiki or in dense town locations. 5 stars because the service was super good despite being here for many years now. Definitely on my list of go to places to dine on the east side. read more

So my adult kids impromptu wanted to take me out to dinner I easily made the 615 reservation from the website which is connected to OpenTable, great! However, when we arrived, it was quite a while before we even got water . Luckily, we had the reservation because the place was packed and there were other people waiting at the hostess stand who were walk-ins. We ordered the oysters on the half shell and grilled tako as appetizers. My daughter got the matcha drink (I can't remember the exact exact name) which I had a taste of and it was yummy. This all took quite some time, but we understood as it was busy. After a while, I had to flag our server, who apparently was also a bartender, to get our main entrée orders in sooner than later . I ordered the lamb chops and my daughter and her boyfriend got the pork chop. I wasn't exactly timing the service but all I can say was it was very long . When my lamb finally arrived, I had requested medium rare as I always do, and it was medium well! I was going to eat it, but this was the one of the pricier items on the menu and I wanted to be happy. So I decided to send it back reluctantly. Server said it would take six minutes. It was longer than that When it came back it was very RARE. so I sent it back one more time and it finally came back the way I wanted it. There was a bit more fat on it than I am a custom too, but it was tasty. The kids were considerately trying to eat slowly so I would not be left eating last, which ended up happening anyway. Meanwhile, my daughter's bf pork chop ended up being RAW towards the bone! I asked him if he had eaten any of that part and he said no I sure hope not because he could get sick from eating raw pork! The manager Tiare did comp that dish. I had been here a few times prior, but never ordered the lamb or the pork. I will certainly think twice again. Overall service was quite lacking and sending my lamb back twice was just too much. Our dining took about an hour and a half. Half an hour longer than we planned. read more

I was really looking forward to eating here for our Christmas party this year after reading reviews. I made reservations which was pretty easy. The restaurant inside is really nice. I decided to order the hamakua mushroom risotto, big island bone marrow and lavender lemonade. The lemonade was just alright but it was mostly ice, probably more than half the glass. The bone marrow came next and to me it seemed really oily and fatty. I've had bone marrow before but this one just seemed to not be like anything I've had before. Then the risotto came and for the most part it was good but had a little too much mushrooms and seemed to need just a tad more salt. Then came the bill and there was 4 couples. The only thing they said they could do was split the bill 3 ways which wasn't any help. I feel like most restaurants these days are more accommodating to large parties with the bill. read more
Came here for brunch. It is located inside Kahala MKT. we ordered the short rib loco moco, beet salad, oysters and the rigatoni. Beet salad was beautifully plated and delicious. Oysters were good as well. Short rib loco loco was good. The meat was very tender and not mushy or too soft. The fried rice was a little lacking. Overall I would order it again. The rigatoni was okay. I wasn't a huge fan of the large chunks of meat. I'm not used to rectangular pieces of meat in my pasta and it was a bit hard. Don't think I will order it again. The absolute best coffee drink is beer. The whipped coffe with oatmilk was divine. I was going to order another one. It is a must get! read more
Nice restaurant located inside a nice supermarket! Not too loud but seating can be a little close, depending on which part of the restaurant you're at. Service was excellent. Nice selection of food and drinks. I heard a lot about the lobster roll here so decided to give it a try. The roll was very good but on the smaller side, approximately 6 inches. It came with fries, which was also good. I don't think it was worth $30 so for that reason, I wouldn't order it again. Dessert was also good, a Berry Marscapone Bar with matcha gelato. I enjoyed the Bar, it was like a tasty cheesecake with the matcha complementing it well! Overall a very nice dinner but a bit pricey for me to return. read more

Came here as a walk-in for brunch with my father on a Sunday. No table-side seating, only bar counter was open! Definitely opt to make reservations for the weekend. It was my first time and I was very excited to try this place, ever since they opened! Just haven't really got around to coming here until now. Dad ordered the spider crab eggs benedict while I wasn't as hungry and got the clam chowder. Had I been hungrier, I would have ordered the mushroom risotto with shrimp add-on, or the beef short rib loco moco. We got oysters on the half shell as an appetizer while drinks were hot milk tea (Earl Grey for dad) and a cold strawberry milk tea for myself. Clam chowder was nicely seasoned, and well buttered and toasted sour dough bread. Nice to make me feel comfortably full for someone who doesn't prefer breakfast/brunch. Oyster app was okay. A little fishy but fresh enough (you get 5 pieces - 11 months ago, they provided 6 pieces...). I was disappointed by dad's eggs benedict dish. Why ever is it a thing now to only serve one benedict on half an English muffin? Eggs benedict dishes should come in pairs of two poached eggs!! That threw me off. The dish also has a little homemade hash brown patty. The spider crab itself was nicely plump. There were little bits of spinach underneath and some slightly smears of avocado and tomato. Portion size on first glance looks disappointing. I saw fhe table next to me get the risotto *nicely portioned and looked appetizing, but the garlic chicken waffles dish looked dry and unappetizing. Kind of puny pieces of fried chicken too. The milk tea was nice and light, not too sweet (sweetened with honey). The strawberry milk tea was disappointing. It tasted like very faintly flavored strawberry milk with a hint of tea. Portion is small for $8! Don't get it. Just get a carton of strawberry milk at the grocery store. Service is excellent! Location is very nicely situated right inside the Kahala Foodland Farms. Interior and ambiance are great for gatherings or a cute brunch date. I would go back to try the loco moco and compare it to Waioli's. Or the Breakfast Bowl or mushroom risotto. But for now, my expectations were not met. read more

Will they make a cheese pizza for a little kid?
Beau, et al's online menu for kids includes a margherita pizza. Without the basil, this is the cheese pizza you're looking for, served 11am to close. I'd call ahead to make reservations, by the way. Enjoy!
