While taking a drive out to the Kalaupapa Overlook , we passed by this little town called -…read moreHo'olehua, and in this small town I saw a post office, as well as this little market called "Kualapuu Market". Basically it's the neighborhood general store that serves the Ho'olehua community, and if I'm correct, I believe it's the only store in the area. I guess the folks here probably appreciate this store, otherwise you would have to drive to Kaunakakai to do your shopping. The Kualapuu Market has a little bit of everything here, fresh meats, some produce items, and of course their dry goods. For entertainment, they also had a video shoppe which appeared to be dvd's which you can probably rent. I popped into this general store to take a little look around, as well as to pick up some drinks while we were driving around town. I love visiting local businesses in remote areas........... Need something and don't wanna drive all the way to Kaunakakai? There's another store in the Ho'olehua area. Check 'em out gang! No can go wrong!

Very casual service. We ordered: Mahi Mahi Lemon Caper Sautée: 1/10 The fish just tasted extremely bland not fresh tough and the lemon sauce just made it wet but added in no flavor as well. Rice was mushy tasted overcooked Mac salad was decent but not the traditional Mac salad flavor. Kung Pao Chicken: 2/10 Small pieces of chicken mostly fried so very little chicken this dish had a good amount of flavor because it was sweet. Chicken and shrimp fried rice: 1/10 Rice was so mushy quality and freshness is just not there. Overall this was not our best meal in Maui I had seen the mixed reviews and wanted to give it a try unfortunately I would no eat here again just because it was not just one dish that lacked quality freshness and flavor it was everything I ordered.

My family came in on a Sunday afternoon and the dining area was packed, which is obviously a good sign that the food here is delicious. The workers have great energy and are sincere. The options are endless and I had a difficult time deciding. Ultimately we opted for the Spicy Chicken Panini, Bellydancer Hoagie, Chicago Dog, grilled cheese and a side of pesto pasta salad. Everything was tasty and had its own unique flavor profile. Wish they would expand to Oahu, so I could eat this back home. Highly recommend!

After shopping with family, we stopped here. They have been here lots of times, for me, my first time. They came here specifically for the icee floats. For me, it was all about the ice cream. The store is very clean and they had several friendly, young staff working behind the counter. I had such a hard time deciding which flavors I wanted. I love Dave's because they have so many local flavors. They even have sugar-free ice cream in a couple of basic flavors. The young lady even offered if I wanted to sample any. I finally decided on a scoop of kulolo ice cream and a scoop of toasted macadamia nut. Both of these I had never tried. It was awesome. There are some benches just outside the store so we planted ourselves on one of them and enjoyed our snacks. Glad that Kaunakakai has this snack shop, a place that deserves repeat business. Support local!

Tonight I was served at the bar by Rob and Kelcey. Both were extremely helpful and made sure my…read moreglass was never empty. Rob told us the evenings specials and both sounded delicious. My husband and I started with a beer and a cocktail with the crab artichoke dip. The appetizer was delicious and hot. We ran out of bread and were able to get another serving of house bread easily and quickly. Beers tried were: Howzit's Hawaiian Time, and Hana Koa's Rice Breaker x2. He enjoyed both. Cocktails tried were: Thai Gimlet, Doctor's Orders, and a tequila cocktail that a regular suggested a float of mezcal with. All were delicious, unique, and approachable. I've managed a few bars, and I can say with full confidence that their cocktails are fairly and affordably priced, delicious and well built. For our entrees, we enjoyed the Chicken Parmesan (husband) and Seafood pan roast. My husband left nothing on his plate, and I asked for a takeout container for the remnants of my sauce- it was THAT GOOD. Our experience, dishes, and beverages from Kalapawai Kapolei has always left us happy and full, the staff is why we keep coming back. Props to everyone and thank you for our wonderful experience on our rare night out

Wagyu burger? $22. No problem until it came to the table. That patty definitely came out of a box. Dang. $22 for a frozen, boxed patty!?! BOO AND HISS. You can get ground steak mixed with bone marrow for $17 plus fries at Burger Bar IN WAIKIKI. How could a boxed burger possibly be more expensive in Kapolei? Fries would have been an added cost. Thought about grabbing the chocolate ganache brownie, but it looked like it had been sitting. :: sigh :: 3 stars for personable staff.

I ordered the green grilled cheese sandwich and it took like 10-15 minutes to get my sandwich while others got their sandwich faster. But the sandwich itself was good and fresh and had quality ingredients. We also ordered tater tots and there was more than enough for 2 people maybe even 2 people. The sandwich and tater tots were about $20, which is not bad for the area. There's some bar stool seating indoors, but seating is limited. They don't sell shaved ice here anymore as some reviews were saying they do.

Ambiance/Environment: I love the open space. There were so many products, groceries, and food. There is also limited outdoor seating. Service: I didn't catch her name, but the owner was so nice and welcoming. She gave us good recommendations from the drink menu. Everything we got: 1) Maui Vera - I bought this reef friendly sunscreen. I was told regular sunscreen will not help, so I waited until we came out here to buy sunscreen. This sunscreen helped protect me from crazy sunburns. It is very thick and dries up quickly. It does leave you looking whiter than usual lol. 2) Smoothies - My ILs ordered the Hawaiian Superman, Strawberry Bliss, Chocolate Monkey, and Super Soursop. All these smoothies were recommended by the owner based on their preferences. They absolutely enjoyed their drinks. Perfect refresher after 2 hours of ziplining. 3) Tropical Dreams Ice Cream - My BIL got an 8 oz ube ice cream. We all took a spoonful to try it. Wow .. the ube flavor was unbelievable. Sooo good!
