    Behind Palies back.

    4.5/ service. 5/5 ambiance. 4/5 food First off you come here for the tiki experience. Hawaiian music playing and Mike making great drinks. What more could one want?

    Painkiller, zombie, mai tai
    Rita W.

    Met up with a couple friends for some snacks and drinks at Kaia's on a Tuesday night. It was really warm so we opt'd for indoor seating, but would def love to check out outdoor seating at some point if I return. Beautiful spot and great vibes as well. We had no issue getting a table without a reservation. We each got a drink and shared some appetizers. One of my go to tiki bar drinks is the Painkiller (rum, pineapple, orange, coconut, cinnamon) and that didn't disappoint. A friend got their Zombie after our server's recommendation that said Zombie and Painkiller were their stronger drinks. The Zombie had rum, cachaca, oftd, lime juice, passion fruit, cinnamon, and falernum. He enjoyed that one. Our other friend got the Ohanapod Mai Tai - coconut rum, coruba rum, orange, lime, pineapple, topped with honey/lilikoi/egg white foam and said that was great a as well. The appetizers we tried were - Pupu Platter - comes with lil spam musibi, spring rolls, coconut shrimp, teriyaki beef skewers, pickled veggies, and a couple dipping sauces. The spam musubi and the skewers were really good. The veggie spring rolls were alright, and the coconut shrimp was good with the sauces. Kalua Pork Nachos - with kalua pork, crispy taro chips, cheese, lomi tomatoes, guacamole, picked jalapeño, cilantro cream sauce, etc. Loved how the chips were taro chips. Pretty good, and went well with our drinks.

    Macadamia crusted fish

    My husband and I walked in on a Friday evening for dinner. They had live music and it was a nice day out so we sat outside. Despite the place being a little busy, we were seated right away. The vibe and service were great, but the food was unfortunately disappointing. The fish in both dishes were overcooked. The crusted fish didn't have any textures and flavors from the crusted part and the vegetables on the side were overcooked and under-seasoned as well. I think Pacific Catch does a better job if you're looking for a restaurant with Hawaiian vibes.

    Painless (non-alcoholic umbrella-like drink)

    We have been at Kaia's a few times and both service and food is always good. Today we sat outside which gave us a more island experience. There were small Palm like trees scattered around which were big enough to interrupt the view of traffic on Hartz and the driveway. We had pulled pork nachos and the larger poke bowl. All good. The pomegranate and juice soda was a nice beginning. Give them Kaia's a try.

    The vibe is very cool, little piece of Hawaiian tiki bar in Danville. The staff was very nice and quick to get us seated, take our order and get our drinks and food to us. Once we had the food they were often checking in on us and refilling water and drinks. The drinks were very good, the mai tai and chi chi were exactly what was needed! Now the food... very disappointed. The ohana beef stew tasted very bland, and didn't have much of a Hawaiian flavor or vibe, felt like it could have been an Irish stew with the chunks of beef and veggies in a dark brown sauce. The ramen was very salty, and it didn't have much going for it either. The teriyaki chicken we added onto it was fine, but the flavor got lost once it went into the broth. I'm used to getting mac salad at a Hawaiian place so I was interested and excited to try a potato salad and cole slaw. The potato salad had a lot of flavor, but it did seem a little salty. The coleslaw might have been the best thing I ate there ... the pineapple chunks in it were very refreshing. I'd come back for a drink, and maybe an appetizer but I don't think I'd get an entree again.

    Stop by with my family for lunch. The poke was very delicious and refreshing. The fish was not fishy at all. The plate was very well balanced. I was so focused on enjoying my bowl I forgot to take picture. The service was also superbe. I will definitely come back!

    Mocktail was yummy
    Stephanie S.

    Girls date was a hit at this Hawaiian inspired restaurant. Spam musubi appetizer was really good. You have the option of small and large portions for lunch. I will definitely be back to try more items.

    Chicken Katsu
    Jules K.

    We gave Kaia's a try and it was reminiscent of Duke's in Hawaii. Hawaiian vibes if you are missing Hawaii. We ordered the loco moco, mix plate with chicken katsu, 2 cocktails, and spam masubi to go. Overall the food was good, but nothing mind blowing or memorable that would make me come back for more. Service was good. If in the neighborhood we would come back again but nothing exceptional stands out for me.

    Drink at the bar.
    Giovanna V.

    My husband and I were in the area waiting for our table at crumbs down the street to open up. We stopped by at this restaurant to have a couple of drinks at the bar. The drinks we got were amazing! Mine had a macadamia and coconut base. And his was a more of a juice base. We loved our drinks and will be back to try food next time. The ambiance was giving Hawaii vibes! The bartender was also great!

    Ube waffles
    Bridget K.

    All the service staff was friendly and took great care of us! The ambiance of the outdoor patio was upscale but lowkey. Perfect place for brunch in a beautiful day! To drink, we had passionfruit mimosas, the maitai (the non-classic one), the chi chi, and the painless (mocktail). All were delicious and beautifully presented. To eat, we shared the Spam musubi. Another lovely presentation! The ratio of Spam to rice to seaweed was balanced and came with a tasty sauce drizzled overtop and a different one on the side. For brunch entrees, we had the ube waffles (one as is and one with chicken katsu), the kalua pork breakfast sandwich? And the poke bowl. The ube waffles are unique and delicious! They are topped with whipped cream, ube syrup, and a fresh fruit salsa; all complemented the waffles well. The chicken katsu was perfectly coated in panko and fried well. The poke was refreshing and came with crunchy pickled vegetables, edamame, and avocado; which was a healthy and tasty brunch dish! The Kalua pork breakfast sandwich was hearty and savory, and the potato salad completed the plate nicely. We finished our meal with the Hula pie. Must get, even if you don't have room! If you're looking for a great brunch spot with delicious island inspired food and a lovely patio (dog-friendly), make sure to check out Kaia's!

    Love a tropical bev

    First time at Kaia's and it won't be our last! Great service, ono grindz, live music, all created a real ambiance as if we were patio dining in Waikiki...

    Miso ramen added teriyaki chicken
    Gena K.

    I was so excited to try this place because I love a Hawaiian restaurant. What in the actual F is going on with the food! Please have the chef call me immediately. The miso ramen tasted like refrigerated or frozen Ramen that you buy from Costco or a grocery store. The ohana beef stew tasted like the basic beef stew that I make at home myself. The menu says the beef stew is supposed to have Hawaiian broth and there's nothing Hawaiian about their beef stew. The potato salad is very salty. I can't imagine the other dishes being any better. I really wanted to try their version of a hula pie, but was scared after what I ate. We sat at the bar. The service was attentive and friendly. I really appreciated the Hawaiian decor. There was a guitar player with nice sounding music. Sadly, I don't think I'll be returning because I'm so disappointed with the food I ate.

    Loco-Moco
    Harvey K.

    Kaia's is a Hawaiian inspired restaurant located at the corner of Hartz and Church in downtown Danville, next to the famed Bridges Restaurant and Bar. I checked out this spot with my pal George F. on 07/15/2025. We met up at 11:30am and the staff was busy getting ready for lunch service. Even though we were their first customers, it still took them a few minutes to seat us at a table in the patio area. The patio area was beautiful. It was nicely shaded with lots of green plants. It wasn't long before the patio started to fill up, and we were literally surrounded by women. Kudos to George for that observation. Their menu featured a nice variety of island inspired dishes. After some perusing, George opted for the Loco-Moco with hamburger while I went the Fresh Catch Tacos. We later got the Hula Pie for dessert. The Fresh Catch Tacos were street-sized and made with rockfish. Frankly, they were OK at best. The fish was quite mild in taste, and it really needed the pineapple salsa to give it some life. The fries were a disappointment. They were limp and salty. The Hula Pie was excellent! The combination of macadamia ice cream, toasted coconut, and chocolate simply worked. You must get it if you come here. Service we received was good. Our server was attentive and funny. I definitely felt the aloha from him. Overall, the food here was three stars to me, but the ambiance and service deserved the fourth one. I may return. BONUS MATERIAL: - Street parking only.

Poor server also spilled water all over me but I was thankfully wearing shorts so it was okay. Food was great though! We ordered a Sedona chicken sandwich with garlic fries and chicken picatta. Sandwich was kinda like a grilled chicken burger. The thicken breast was moist and fries were crispy and tasty. Chicken picatta was delicious and perfectly mixed with mashed potatoes, spinach, capers. The chicken wasn't dry. Pear martini was the best. I would come here just for this drink. I think they home make the syrup. Old fashioned was good but a little sweet.

The only reason I gave 4 stars and not 5....the Grey seats we were seated in are so low, felt like we had to stand up every time we reached across table and could barely hear each other. Beautiful decor but not super practical for dining. Will definitely return soon.
