We had a wonderful experience at Kalapawai Cafe & Deli - Kapolei! From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm, friendly, and attentive. Everyone there took great care of us throughout our visit. The food was exquisite! It was flavorful, hearty, and generously portioned. Every dish we ordered was satisfying and beautifully presented. The peaceful, quiet atmosphere (it was a Monday night) made it easy to talk, relax, and truly enjoy the meal. Our server checked in often without being intrusive, and was happy to answer any questions we had about the specials, or the menu items. While we were too full to try dessert, the options in the deli case looked amazing. I had to stop myself from buying everything as it all looked decadent and generously sized. We’ll definitely be back, and next time we’re saving room for dessert!

We love this place and we frequent it often. This week we came once for lunch and dinner. But, this was the first time that the kitchen was very different. We usually get our food too fast but this time, we were done with our drinks when the appetizer came and then dinner took another 35-40 minutes. This is not the norm for this place and totally unacceptable. It was busy in the restaurant but we’ve seen it much busier many times and the food came out much faster than tonight. Rumor has it that when the head chef is not present, the kitchen workers do things on their timeline, thereby disrupting the normal dinner hour flow. I hope that management addresses this with the line cooks and lets them know that as weekly regulars we know this is not the usual. We will be back but this kind of kitchen service would most likely turn off any potential first time customers.

We love Kalapawai! Always the best dishes with the most unique delicious flavors. Really enjoyed this night’s special (NY Steak with Gorgonzola sauce and bacon cheese risotto). Definitely wish it was a normal menu item.

Literally one of our best meals during our stay at Ko'Olina. Half our party was sick and had to take out half of the food. We haven't been in awhile and is back on our list of have to go for dinner when we are out there.
