Located actually in Waianae just before you hit Tamura's super market on the right side . Service always friendly last couple times I've been there the waitress always ask where you guys from . So you know they always have the regular customers because they don't recognize us lol . I normally I order their Hamburger steak homemade patty with onion and brown gravy and of course Mac salad . Today I decided to go with their chop steak with noodles . It was ok but on the sweet side I like my chop steak just black pepper and little shoyu . My brother in law had their Hawaiian plate that's Kanak attack need a nap after that . It comes with lau lau , beef stew, Kalua pig, Lomi salmon and pipikalua rice or poi. Additional cost you can have tripe stew instead of beef stew . My sister had their mini hamburger steak . If you're looking for a good tasting hamburger steak head out to the west side.

Monday, 7/28/2025 - Saw this Korean BBQ & Sushi. But for some is called Waianae Kalbi & Sushi Mart…read moreon Yelp and Google. Restaurant address is 86-120 Farrington Hwy, Ste C306, Waianae, HI 96792. Maybe they just changed their restaurant name? I don't know. We decided to try them and see how it is. Upon arrival.... Pros 1) large parking lot. Plenty of parking. 2) lots of other small shops here. I see Long's drugs, Team Mibile, Pizza Hut, etc here, just to name a few. 3) we were the only one there. I see one lady at the cash register. She took our orders. She smiley and nice. 4) we ordered the Special for $18.99. We got chicken katsu cones with rice and 4 sides. We also got the Shrimp Temp Maki for $11.99 + 2 drinks. 5) it's also a mini mart. They have a few other items got sale here too. See pictures. 6) love all the sides I picked. Rice tasted good. Cons 1) I didn't see a bathroom. Maybe I should have asked. 2) shrimp tempura maki roll was not very good. The other person who ate this roll was not very impressed. I tried a piece and it was just ok. I've had better. But we didn't get wasbi and ginger with it. We had to ask for soy sauce. They don't provide it unless you ask. 3) Most of our chicken tempura was over cooked. It was very chewy and hard to eat. There were a few pieces that was not over cooked and still good to eat. We didn't like our plate. But we ate it anyways just because we already paid for it. 4) Conclusion We weren't very impress with this market/restaurant. Foods weren't good. But the cashier lady was nice. Food sides were good. There was only 1 small table and another table that fits 4 people, inside restaurant. They do have a few items for sale. Not going here for food again. But maybe shop for items instead. You may like the foods here better than me/us.

What a hidden gem! Arrived and it was an instant chill vibe. Auntie Joanne and Angie were excellent…read morehosts, greeting us with attentive service and genuine smiles! Felt spoiled with the amazing beachfront views and some of the best food we had all vacation long. Best part, it was all for a fraction of the price compared to what we've been paying at the ritzy or main stream spots. They have drink specials and happy hours! Sooo worth it. The poke nachos and crispy pork coupled with drinks, heaven! Our kids loved the firecracker chicken, mildly spicy but not overwhelming for them. There were so many options we didn't get to try, which means we will be back soon! We enjoyed the music and the sounds of the waves. Kids even played by the water while we finished our cocktails from the deck. It's exactly what we envisioned our vacation to be! So, if you could skip the over priced ritzy places that end up subpar, I would and come here. It's off the beaten path a little and tucked away on a small street, but worth the visit. We often visit Ko Olina side of Oahu and can honestly say we found our affordable go-to! Also left with some of their swag to represent because the aloha love was thee best! Shout out to the owners, Donavan and Devina.

But I'm focusing on this visit. The food was good. I came for appetizers and drinks. The blue crab dip was amazing, I was hungry and couldn't finish it all by myself. Would change nothing Service was okay. Downstairs the hostess was missing so I walked upstairs right in to an empty restaurant. Sat at the bar. Restaraunt wasn't crowded, it was a weekday before sunset. Wasn't greeted by anyone, service was mid. There was live music which was nice but the bar was facing away from him. I've tried their sister restaurant lilikoi also hoping for a better experience but I feel they lack quality interactions, servers are slow when coming around and lack experience when it comes to customer experience overall. I had to ask for my water, never got napkins, and was never checked on. My drink was a little strong but it was okay because she fixed it. After giving them three tries, I can't come back. Wouldn't recommend either. Especially being from the westside, I expected more, and gave them grace but was met with the same experience each time without any noticeable improvements. Management needs to work on server training, speed, customer interactions and better experience overall. It's not just the food that will keep someone returning, but how they're treated and its people. Please do better.

I recently visited Kaʻahaʻaina Café on Farrington Highway in Waiʻanae, and it truly stands out as…read moreone of the more unique casual spots on Oʻahu's leeward coast. The ambiance at Kaʻahaʻaina Café sets it apart from your average neighborhood café. The atmosphere is laid-back and focused on community, embodying a local vibe that truly represents the West Side instead of mimicking a trendy Honolulu idea. The overall experience at Kaʻahaʻaina Café was truly something I valued the most. The vibe was relaxed and inviting, allowing for a seamless transition into enjoying the meal. The service was not only friendly but also efficient, with the staff contributing to a warm atmosphere that perfectly complemented the café's local vibe. That level of reliability is crucial, particularly in a venue where it appears that numerous patrons are familiar faces. From a wider travel viewpoint, I often observe when a café truly embodies the spirit of its local community. Having explored numerous dining spots around the globe, I often find myself recalling those that truly embody their local essence, and Kaʻahaʻaina Café certainly captures that vibe. It's not just about the show. It's all about the cozy vibe, the sense of belonging, and an atmosphere that resonates with the essence of Waiʻanae. Kaʻahaʻaina Café is definitely worth a visit if you find yourself on the Waiʻanae Coast and are in the mood for a laid-back meal in an authentically local atmosphere. Kaʻahaʻaina Café exudes a sense of community that adds a unique charm, setting it apart from typical café experiences.

I was not disappointed with my food or the experience, but just not sure how i felt about the experience. Full transparency, we were already hangry and in the area. Since we never tried the place before and they were still open we decided to stop. We definitely need to go back because it was one of those I'm not sure if the food was good, because we were so hungry we didn't take the time to actually taste the food. However, the staff were kind and answered our questions without showing any obvious signs of frustration. Good service always makes the experience that much better. I give this place 4 stars because of the staff and not being disappointed with our food. We will definitely be back to actually taste the food and hopefully update my review to include more of the food experience.

We needed to grab some food before heading to the beach and this lovely place popped up, so we decided to give it a try. Menu has a great selection and prices are affordable! I got the Spicy BBQ Chicken (mini) and my designated driver got the Mini Combo. My Spicy BBQ Chicken was very well-sauced and not too spicy. The sauce was great, but make sure you're not wearing anything light-colored (it will stain). The sides of seaweed and kimchi were great as well. It was definitely more "local" style kimchi, but nonetheless, delicious. The Mini Combo was very well-portioned and had a great variety of protein. Every piece was delicious and not too salty. The banchan was also very complimentary and tasty. Again, prices were great and very justified. Portions are generous and taste was present. We called in our order and it was ready when we got there. Just picked up and paid - easy as pie. If I go back for a beach side gathering, I will definitely come by here again to bring to the beach. I think this is a gem on the West Side and hope to see them again very soon!
