We have been to Keoki's several times now. Each time with a large group. Staff were very attentive to our group and served us well. Our food was delicious and well sized (not too big). This restaurant is huge and they manage their clients well! It's an open air restaurant, which is really nice. We have been there when it was raining - no worries. Still very comfortable! If you haven't been, check them out! You won't be disappointed! read more

Keoki's is a lovely restaurant. Theater is very inviting. The only problem is that we needed to walk up a few stairs and down more stairs to get to the table. Luckily, we had an inside table when it started raining. The server was very helpful while making g our choice for dinner. We split a Caesar salad.m to start. At most places in which we ate, the Caesar salad was big enough to share. This was a bit small. I had the seafood risotto. It was very good but it was more risotto than protein. My husband had the Chef's Fresh Fish Duo. The fish that night was Ono and Marlin. He did enjoy that. As a special treat for my birthday, the waitress brought me a large slice of Hula pie. It was very good. We enjoyed the restaurant and would return the next time we are in Poipu. read more

WOW! We absolutely loved this spot! The restaurant is gorgeous with all of the plants, flowers, and waterfalls that they have. It feels like you are eating in the middle of the jungle with how many plants are around you. The food and drink was amazing as well. My wife and I shared the Mai Tai and it was phenomenal. The drink was well worth the $17. The slice of lime and pineapple as a garnish was beautiful, and putting them in the drink only made it taste better. She ordered the "Keoki's Style" which is their fish in a garlic, lemon, basil glaze. She got the Ono as her selection of fish and loved it. The Ono was extremely flakey and well cooked. I ordered the cheddar burger, a simple burger with great flavor. It was cooked perfectly medium rare and was very filling. Extremely great value for the price as well. For dessert, the restaurant gave us a free celebratory slice of their Original Hula Pie as we are on our honeymoon. It is less of a pie and more of an ice cream cake, yet it is delicious. The ice cream is macadamia nut topped with fudge, whipped cream, and a few more macadamia nuts. We both really enjoyed it, and it was 100% worth sharing as the slice is huge. read more

Beautiful scenery within the restaurant! Seated shortly after arrival but stuck with a waitress who also has a large party. It went downhill from there. Our cocktails were average, not very memorable. My Seafood risotto was probably the highlight with Lobster, shrimp, fish, and shiitake mushrooms but my daughter's teriyaki grilled chicken was dry. Wish I could have said something better about the experience. read more

Above all, this is a tourist spot with halfway decent food at prices that would scare you off if you weren't on vacation; paired with amazing service and some of the nicest servers. Inside screams "I'm on vacation on a tropical island" with the decor, the server uniforms, and the overall vibe. Nothing wrong with that. But definitely something to consider if you're looking for some food in the area. Food is decent. The Prime rib is cooked proper. The sides were just OK. The Maui onion soup was good, nothing spectacular. The pie was the best part of the meal for me. Overall, its going to be a hefty bill, and I wouldn't deter you from trying. But I wouldn't want to come back here the next time I'm in the area. read more

We enjoyed our dinner here! However, it was very pricey, so be prepared ahead of time. For a party of 4 or more you can expect to pay well over $200, with entrees costing around $50 a person give or take. That being said, the food was delicious. Our drinks were all very tasty too. My macadamia nut crusted fish was perfectly cooked and one of the best meals I've had so far. The owner was there that night and was very sweet. Our service was great as well. The ambiance is very fun--traditional Tiki Bar. We were happy and had a good time here. The only thing is the stiff price point l, which is the one draw back. For the price you pay, you would expect to pay that for more fine dining verses a family dinner out. read more

The butter for the rolls and muffins almost made it a 5. The rolls and muffins by themselves are a must have. As well as the onion soup! The lack of star was the price to portion ratio for most of the dinner. Fish duo, seven spice ahi and vegan ravioli were the main dishes. The first two were the ones lacking in portions compared to price. The last was lacking in flavor and suffered from very over cooked pasta. Probably an off night there but sauce needed more flavor too. Staff super friendly! Music vibes nice, ambiance also great. Pro tip, skip the looooong wait and try and sit at the bar for a full menu experience. read more

The food was 5 star. Everything we ate was literally amazing. The Calamari was cooked perfectly, seasoned just right and was so good. The bread was good, the taro rolls were a little crusty on the bottom like they'd be sitting out awhile, they tasted good though. The banana mac nut muffins were outstanding. So good. I had the Marlin which was Mac Nut Crusted with rice and a capers sauce. Omg - amazing. A perfect dish. Equal to or better than the best meal i've had on this trip. My wife had the 12oz prime rib, medium rare. Also done perfectly. I had a few bites, tasted just right, so good. Great execution. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5? The service wasn't up to TS Restaurant standards. Our server didn't come to our table for quite awhile. Another server finally got us water and apologized. We ordered our appetizers, it seemed like a long time before they came, as it was with our drinks. About the time our food came, our server got a big table. She seemed overwhelmed and we barely saw her again. We had to get a manager to run our check to pay. Btw- we did not get mad or throw a fit. We were just ready to leave and didn't want to dine and dash. Still a great night overall. read more

I give it 5 stars but I have to add the one thing I did not like at all. It was the seafood risotto. The half lobster tail was fine. The pieces of sword fish was very good. I did not like that it only came with two pieces of shrimp. I feel like it needed more. It just didn't have enough for the amount of risotto. Every else was extremely good. The coconut mojito is a MUST try! The service was good. I thought the bartender was specifically good. We sat at their tiki bar for 30 to 45 minutes until our seats were ready. The bartender was attentive and fun even though it was very busy. The ambiance was very nice but not formal. More like a cozy casual with a fun outdoor Hawaiian feel. read more

We came here for dinner, they had a live singer near the bar. Open air dining throughout the restaurant, which did make it a little bit chilly on a windy evening. The best part of the dinner was that the service was excellent . shout out to Ruby who was sweet and attentive. Otherwise we found the food largely mediocre. The kale salad was so depressingly small that at first I thought it was a split plate. Poke stack was pretty good, it came with an insufficient amount of chips (4), so thank you Ruby for bringing us more! The Maui Onion soup tasted like it came out of a can - just a flat salty flavor; my husband loves French onion soups, and this just wasn't flavorful at all . I did enjoy the Panko and nut crusted fish. Ruby had advised switching the fish that it generally comes with with their mahi-mahi, which was a good tip. The fish was tender with a perfect amount of light crusting . Comes with soft rice pilaf and nicely flavored roasted carrots. Always appreciate a Keiki menu - the kids enjoyed their chicken Enjoyed my red wine as well read more

The food quality and price you pay don't align. I had the Panko & Mac Nut Crusted fish with Macadamia nut & parmesan, herbed rice pilaf. The fish was only breaded in panko. Nothing special. A new macadamia nuts were on top as decoration. NOT MACADAMIA NUT CRUSTED AS LISTED. The rice could have been out of a microwave package for a hat it's worth. No nuts in there either as listed and nothing special. Fish was still good no matter the crust. I could tell it was good quality. My husband had the fish duo which was really good fish too. But same boring rice. No single veggie on the plate. So basically you pay 45$ for a fish and rice. Calamari were basic, nothing special. We also had the ahi appetizer. It was very sweet glazed. It was fine. If you like your ahi with sweet marinate you'll like it. Overall beautiful ambiance & love music. We had a reservation and got seated right away. Due to the food & price we would not come back though. You defiantly pay for it being a tourist spot. It's a really big restaurant, lots of people and louder atmosphere. read more

Keoki's paradise was absolutely terrific! The ambience is very lively and welcoming, and the open air dining is so unique with the amazing weather and nice humidity in Hawaii! The service was extremely pleasant and friendly as well and the food was outstanding! My personal favorite was the mocktails, because they were so cute and went really well with our meal. One flaw was the speed of which our food was delivered. We waited almost an hour and a half for our food, but I understand it was busy and we had a great time waiting! Will definitely be coming back and recommending! read more

Keoki's Paradise - Dessert - Seafood Near Me - Koloa, Hawaii

DEC2025 Reservations were easy for dinner, parking was great since it was part of a shopping center area. Service was helpful with any questions we had. Unfortunately there was no live music for the night due to coinciding reservations for the space. Water refills infrequent since it was quite busy. Everything took a long while to come out. We had gotten a mai tai and guava daquiri for drinks. For food, my partner and I ordered the mushroom ravioli, maui onion soup, the mahi mahi keoki style, hoisin pork ribs, and guava chicken. The drinks were overly sweet, likely too much triple sec or mixer. The mushroom ravioli was decent but a overcooked and needed salt. The french onion soup just felt like it was missing something. The soup itself just seemed like broth and wasn't rich in the slightest. The cheese also wasn't melted either and bread an after thought. The hoisin pork ribs were decent flavorwise but chewy. Overall, a lot of things were inconsistently cooked between the both the chicken and the fish. Chicken ended up dry for different parts. The kimchi had a moderate kick to it and too spicy for some. Overall, pricey for what it is and there wasn't even ambiance to be had that night. There's certainly much better options available. read more

Oh Keoki. You have my heart. Whenever we go visit Kauai, we make sure that we stop and eat here. This time we came for my daughter's bday celebration dinner. Our waitress was so kind, she was incredibly kind and warm. She didn't miss a beat and made sure she was there whenever we needed her. The food was delish, everything we had was top notch. I love the live music they have during the week, such great vibes, and sets the mood for any occasion. It's so spacious inside that you can come here for a romantic dinner and they strategically know where to place you, or here with family and we are with the crowd that's a little more vibrant. Something about Keoki's just keeps calling us back every time and for that I am grateful. And never ever leave without ordering the Hula pie read more

I wish I had gotten our server's name, but I remember she was from Florida. She was very lovely, attentive, and timely for all of our needs. I had the farmers omelet and my mom had the breakfast burrito. The eggs were perfectly fluffy in a way that I wish I could recreate. The potatoes were crispy and seasoned well. Our server recommended the hula pie and it did not disappoint. If I could have brought some home in my suitcase, I would have. The open seating area has phenomenal views and it's always great to have the chickens as table companions. I've also gotten takeout from here and had an easy experience. If there's ever a wait at Keoki's, it's definitely worth it. read more

A favorite we keep coming back to. If you are looking for fun tropical ambience and delish eats this is the place to be. It wasn't too crowded earlier on a weeknight but reservations are generally recommended as it does fill up. The bar was quite full with people grabbing drinks and small bites. There was nice background music and the ambiance is top notch. The guava daquiri is delightfully tart and tasty, we enjoyed that their drinks in general were a little less sweet than that average ones in Hawaii. The taro rolls and carrot muffins were a standout as well as the seared ahi. The ribs were nice and meaty and hula pie is a great way to end the night! read more

We ate here twice while on the island. The first time was when we arrived and stopped by for lunch and a drink at the bar. Great bartender helped us order. Then we came back for dinner with friends. Most of us ordered the chefs fish meal with 2 types of fish. It was excellent. But the best part of the meal was their version of Hula Pie! read more

The ambiance is fantastic!! We were seated right at the edge by the water which was so beautiful and relaxing! We started with two mai tai's. They were weak! The bar tenders were great though and so were the hostesses!! My husband ordered the prime rib with red mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts. It was a large portion of meat. It did take quite a while to come out of the kitchen. It could have been served a bit warmer. It wasn't cold or anything, but when you are paying $50 for a plate, it should come out hot. Still, he loved all of it! He gave his meal a 5. For myself, I ordered the Panko & Mac Nut Crusted Sword fish with a lemon, caper sauce, served with with herbed rice pilaf and carrots. The fish was fresh...yet a small piece. It was really good, but again it would have been so much better if it came out hot. The carrots lacked flavor and the rice was ok. I gave my meal a 3. Blythe, our server was exceptional!! All in all don't let the overall 4.0 rating keep you from trying this charming place!! I'd go there again just for the service and ambiance. Make reservations, it's a popular spot! read more

We were exploring the area and decided to have dinner at this restaurant (our room was over an house drive) The vibe was great, live music on Wednesday night and lots of people. We ordered the risotto and fish and chips along with the local beer flight. Everything was so good! I was wearing my Dodgers jersey and the waitress talked to me about how her dad was a fan of the Dodgers when they were Dodgers in NY. Such a great place to spend time with your loves ones! read more

I've been to most of the restaurants in the Duke's chain and this has been the nicest one with the best ambiance. We started with their Mai Tai's, which were very good, strong but not overpowering. I had the Seafood Risotto, which was outstanding! Good balance of flavors and a decent amount of lobster, fish and shrimp. She had the baked fish, which was disappointing, to say the least. The fish was overcooked, dry with little flavor, and if you didn't care for the sauce, a very plain dish. We ended it with the Hula Pie, which is basically a tradition, and it was as good as always. Our server, Scotty, was friendly and attentive, which made the night that much better. We will return the next time we come to Kauai! read more

I appreciated the energy in this place as it made it feel like we were on a "real vacation". We did not have reservations and just walked in and had to wait about 30 minutes for a table on a Saturday night. The place is pretty big and has an outdoor sorta vibe which reminded me of a lot of places you see in Maui. I saw a lot of local people leaving this place in addition to tourists so that to me was a good sign of things. My wife got the fresh fish duo which came with a swordfish and ono. They both were moist and not dry with unique flavors local to the islands. Nothing was overly sweet which we appreciated because we tend to avoid sweet foods. I asked for the "rarest prime rib that you have" and was not dissapointed at all. I only ordered the 12oz cut and was worried it wouldn't be enough meat as they offer a larger version (for a lot more). Luckily when it came out, it was plenty of meat, and of course, rare. Salted and seasoned perfectly it really hit the spot after a long day of hiking. The servers, hostess, and staff all were very welcoming and polite. No issues at all. This place is crowded for a good reason. We'd come back in a heartbeat! read more

We had a family of 6 for dinner here. Three of us had fish (over $60.00 each) and the fish was over cooked and very dry. The service was fast but felt like we were being rushed to make the table turn over. Family of six was 55 minutes in and out. The ambience would have been good except our table was not. Anyway I don't like giving a bad review so i'm still giving 3 stars but I will not be going back. read more

Booked a reservation after walking past on our way back to hotel. Seated immediately but I will say the choice of chairs was not my favorite. Most chairs had a cushion these were the wooden ones. Our server was prompt and helpful. Ended up ordering from the chefs menu which is available 4-5pm. It is slightly smaller portions. Includes a salad and entree for $32. The Ceasar was ok. The kale was good but I would suggest they massage the kale as the first step before servings it was a bit tough. The panko Mac crusted swordfish was good. I didn't care much for the rice but the book Choy was delicious. All in all it was a great meal for the price. Service was good and the live music was a nice touch read more

One of the best restaurants here in Kauai Poipu beach. It was a very busy night and waited for 30 min to get a table. The customers are mostly tourists. I ordered Keoki Hawaiian fish and it was delicious, it came with mashed sweet purple potato and bokchoy. Hubby ordered a steak and it came with risotto and grilled Brussel sprouts. They were delicious and cooked the steak perfectly. The Hula pie was good and , it was frozen hard so we waited till it got softer. The waitress was exceptional and courteous, always checking if we are ok. Our food came promptly. Noise level moderate. And it has a live band which was terrific !! read more

We ended up here because it was the only available option and so glad we did! I think this place deserves much better reviews.

The place had nice vibes for a touristy dinner. The service was nice and the ambiance was good. But the food was just OK. The fish entrees everyone ordered were just meh or overcooked.

Keakia Paradise is a hidden gem with a relaxed vibe and some seriously flavorful food. I stopped in and ordered the rib appetizer and the kale salad -- both were great in their own way. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender and packed with a sweet-savory glaze that hit just right. Honestly could've made a full meal out of those alone. The kale salad was a nice balance -- super fresh, lightly dressed, and felt like the perfect counter to the richness of the ribs. Service was friendly and the setting has that chill, island-style charm. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is I'd love to see a few more standout sides or unique twists on the menu, but overall this spot definitely delivers. I'll be back! read more

I usually don't like leaving negative reviews, but this restaurant deserves it. I made a reservation in advance, yet they made us wait on a bench by the entrance, even though the restaurant was half-empty. We were given the worst table, and I immediately asked if we could be moved somewhere not in the aisle. At first, they said no tables were available, though again, the restaurant was mostly empty. Another staff member quickly found us a proper table so we could feel comfortable. We were given two different menus: the dinner menu and the lunch menu. My fish was dry, and my partner's prime rib steak was impossible to chew--it was like rubber. He also had to ask for bread rolls himself, which were served cold at the very end of our meal. We value good service and tasty food--but unfortunately, this restaurant offers neither. read more

Awesome dinner with my family and some friends. Only previously came here to hang out, eat, and drink in the bar area, but this time, we sat in the nice dining area. We made a reservation and sat down pretty quickly. I didn't realize how nice and big the restaurant was. Love the Dukes style vibe. Service was great by everyone there. And the food was surprisingly good too. I actually prefer to eat here over a place like Stevensons Library. Drinks were flowing and food was good from appetizers to dessert. We came on a sunday night, so we didn't have live music, but I heard they have on other days. Will definitely be back here when im in the area. read more
