It's been a while since we've dined here. But now there is a new location (actually same complex…read morebut different store front). So much bigger than the previous place. They opened at 8am and we were there a little after 8:30 on a Sunday and yes, there was a line. But not too long a line and after we were seated there was no line but then a long line when we were leaving. So it is hit or miss in terms of wait time. Cross your fingers and the seating gods may be generous and kind to you. Menu id basically the same. And although there were four females to help with answering the phones for takeout orders, bussing and serving as well as taking orders and payment their system is efficient. When your table is ready you order and pay (if you order a drink a cup for your coffee or drink will be given). It saves time for you to wait for someone to take your order and later to wave someone down to pay. I know other places use this system (like Joe's on Nimitz) but it seems very practical here. Every table had a cold bottle of water waiting for the diners (so no wait help had to refill glasses) and I saw one of the wait help exchange the one on the table for a new cold bottle (that table was vacant for a while). The food is plentiful (most people had at least one take out container) and delicious. My corn beef wasn't from a can and cooked so there was a crisp but still soft on the inside. The spinach and mushrooms were fresh (once had canned mushrooms in my omelet at Zippy's -ugh).

I swapped the Lilikoi for the Malasada topping. The other 2 were the default Cookie Butter and the Taro-Haupia. None of them particularly wowed me. I saw somebodyb else order the actual Malasada Pancake and it looked to have a nice sear to it or something. Maybe I'll only get that next time. There was plenty of Kalbi to steal from my wife's plate lol.

My family member is celebrating a birthday and it is the best thing to see a smile come to their faces when you show up with the classic Liliha box of deliciousness. Can never go wrong. I definitely feel like this location provides a better experience overall than the one in International Marketplace. Staff is friendlier and food even tastes better somehow.

Great first visit, and I'll absolutely stop by again whenever I'm back in Hawaii.

They have tables that could easily sit 12 people (probably more with kids). They also have counter-height tables that seat about four, and of course, there's the bar. Bathrooms were spacious and clean. Immediately after we sat, a worker brought us menus and showed us the QR code to order. At first we were taken aback but it turned out to be super efficient. Since we wanted to pay separately, it was easy since we simply had to open our own tabs. Plus, we didn't have to wait or flag down anyone if we wanted to order more food or drinks, just add it to the tab. We got the ahi dip, oxtail soup, smashburgers, lechon, honey chicken burger, onion rings, and fries. The chips were just a little stale and the lechon needed a bit more salt. The dip was good and the lechon was crispy. Onion rings for the burgers is an extra charge, but they give a lot! I was expecting seven onion rings but they gave at least 12. The food was good so much so that I want to go again and try more. Our 16oz Mililani Red was terrific. I mean, beer is what they're known for. It was $7.50. We also got samples of the slushies of the day: Liliko'i-Orange-Guava and White Peach Lemonade. Both were really good. Perfect slush consistency. LOG slushie had a good bit of tang from the liliko'i. The white peach one was creamy with a nice hint of peach. Definitely need to try other drinks next time we come.

Our youth group decided to check out Wai Kai for our end of summer activity. It just so happened…read morethat it was the weekend before school started and it wasn't overly crowded, surprisingly. We had a group of 6 and many of us had never been here before. Wai Kai was quite easy to find; just plugged into my GPS and drove. I was surprised to see that area and how much development has happened in the last 10 years but I digress. We had purchased the day pass which was all day, from 10:00am - 4:00pm. The full day was a good call cause we lucked out and snagged the last 4 lounge chairs and umbrella. Since we were between the cabanas and the life vest distribution, we got to see all the action. ;D Everyone wears a life vest, which is awesome cause I got tired at one point and was just able to float without having to work hard. I had looked up photos of the space but not any reviews and I thought I knew what to expect...boy was I wrong. I was not expecting to play American Ninja Warrior as I made my way around all the obstacles. I was so worried about having to get up if I fell in so I was really careful in the beginning. I'm old so I went at my own pace and let our kids just go wild. When it started getting hard to get out of the water I took it as a cue that I need to take a break and enjoy being old. I loved watching all the kids run around and play and make friends with other kids who were there. I think many of us really enjoyed the giant slide (I certainly did) and the trapeze swing (which I didn't do). There was a great cafe for lunch that had sandwiches, burgers, and pizza with shave ice and ice cream for the dessert-a-holics like me. :D I enjoyed the club sandwich and kalbi plate. We ate it all! Our kids got Hamburgers and Fries which made me re-think my choice but I was happy with what I got. There was a short break at approximately 1pm so everyone had to come back in. This was nice because it gave time for the people who had only a half day to return their life vests and the people who were just coming in could find seating and get their vests. I relished the short break because it made our kids have to sit and hydrate and talk to one another. Everyone also recharged so that we could go back for more! At around 3:30 I really was feeling my age so I called it quits but the rest of the group stayed out. We had so much fun! This is such a wonderful place to be with family and friends and I HIGHLY recommend. We decided we want to come back again next summer so figuring out how to incorporate it into the already busy summer schedule.

4.5 / 5 for Kountry Style Kitchen!…read more I absolutely LOVED Kountry Style Kitchen. We ate the Loco Moco and the Macadamia Nut Pancakes and it was SO delicious. I would say that if you've got a small appetite, sharing these two dishes is a perfect balance between sweet and savory--my husband and I shared both and we ended up taking some home! The only downside, I would say, is that the food is pretty pricey, and during our meal, the waitresses did take a while to come/circle back to us and forgot a couple of things so we sat and waited for a while after finishing our food for our check, hence the .5 stars off. Overall, we thought the food was amazing and I would come back again!
