Fantastic food Get the Maui onion gratin eve soup so onolicious and the Burger is to die forJoe the bartender was great he even sent over a dessert for my birthday Will be going back real soon like this week before going home to Boston😎

great staff and great food

Decided to have an early dinner and this is one of our "Go To" spots! Food is always awesome and we never have any issues with the service. They had a couple new items on the menu which my wife truly enjoyed... I had a burger and it was cooked perfectly. We will be back again soon!

Maegan was an exceptional waitress who was very attentive and gave us some good attractions to visit for our family of five. The food was outstanding. We may visit again before we leave the island. Great experience.

The quality and flavor of the food was amazing. The customer service was amazing and the ability to make reservations was easy and necessary. I would highly recommend for friends and family.

been there several times, never disappointed. highly recommended. 6 stars

Always a great place to eat. The drinks were great, the crab and artichoke dip is amazing, the special: hebi and prawns dish were good, and the chocolate desert was wonderful.
The Irish coffee was a little too strong and we thought the $36 price for the special was a little high.

Every time we are in the Ko Olina area we make a special stop at Kalapawai Cafe. The food is exceptional and the staff is warm and welcoming. Meghan (Maggie) and Michelle were awesome. The blackened Ahi Tuna over lemongrass risotto is a dish you cannot pass up. Thanks for the recommendations ladies.

Food was “good” this time but not amazing
My friend ordered the burger and asked to be served fresh hot fries and they were served to him cold.
One of the servers brought him some nice hot fries and that was great.

We ordered two of the chopped salads and there was very little “green” Romain lettuce in our salad. Just the white bitter pieces. This made for a not so wonderful meal.


Service was fantastic, we love Meghan but enjoyed Sarah last night!

My friends and I had a wonderful time. Food was excellent and our waitress who’s from Alaska (forgive me I forgot her name) provided us with outstanding service. As a result of both food and service we will definitely be back.

Wonderful server, great good, awesome vibes!!

Food was so awesome we went twice on our visit to Oahu!! Hurricane fries were great and wife had the pork tenderloin both visits!

The pumpkin risotto that came with the pork medallions was outstanding. The blackened ahi also came with a lemon risotto and kale. Both dishes were well prepared and presented. We completed the meal with the lilikoi cheesecake which was great. The menu listed daily bread pudding which we were interested in trying, but they actually do not offer it so they acknowledged that they need to delete from the menu. Was overall a great dinner and we enjoyed the experience.

Great spot for a casual dinner with locals.

The restaurant has wonderful innovative local dishes and fresh catch. They also have an excellent selection of beers and ciders. Very knowledgeable and attentive staff.
A hidden gem in Kapolei.

Great food as always. Took out some family who were visiting from the mainland. Absolutely loved it.

The best meal of our trip. The food was delicious, service was excellent and the prices were very good. We probably will be back before we leave on Tuesday. The food was not what you would expect from a small cafe. Great find.

Another great dinner. We were lucky that Kaili was our server again. She is always so friendly and helpful. It is real pleasure.
Wine and food were very good.
We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner and will return the next time we are in the area.

What a great restaurant - if you’re staying at the Marriott, Disney or the Ritz Ko Olina resorts, make the 10 minutes trip and get great local service, food and prices - you will not be disappointed.

We had a reservation for a table on the patio and were seated immediately upon arrival. We were lucky that Kaili was our server. She was wonderful, very attentive and friendly. She made some excellent recommendations for the appetizer and the main dishes. Everything was very enjoyable and we will return in a couple of days and look forward to another great dinner.

Kalapawai is our go-to restaurant when we want a good meal that won’t ruin our budget. The crab cakes are amazing, and don’t forget the lilikoi cheesecake for dessert!

Great food and service 😊

Everything was great except we had an appetizer & it had barely come when our dinner came out. Otherwise, good & service was great.

Kelsey is an AMAZING MIXOLOGIST! Her service was outstanding which made our dinner that much more enjoyable!!

Great food
Friendly staff

We’ve been eating at a lot of fancy restaurants during our stay..but the food here was way more delicious! Our waiter was really informative and helpful. The seafood and sausage/rice dinner was incredible, we could drink the sauce it was that delicious!

Always stop here when in Kapolei. Great food, service .

Awesome service by Megan. Everyone very friendly. Food was yum. We’ll be back!

Outstanding food and service! In our experience, we finally hit a spot where the food was not over priced and was worth every penny. Will definitely be headed back here in the future!

The fish special was so amazingly delicious! Potato crusted Hebi fish with a seared scallop & topped with fresh crabmeat in an awesome sauce. Gluten free too 🐠

Wait staff was conscientious and attentive. Food was excellent and our party enjoyed the appetizers and dessert. Enjoyed sitting outside bit the sun kept was in the way of seeing for a couple people at the table.

The auction fish special was blackened ahi tuna on the night we went. I ordered the risotto preparation with the red curry and it was amazing! They were very knowledgeable and accommodating with gluten free preparation. Service was fast and the patio was lovely if a little noisy with the car traffic but we loved being outdoors so it didn’t detract at all.

Wonderful food. Burger large enough to share. Blacken Ahi with just enough spices to make it interesting with the perfect sear of the ahi. Friendly service all around.

Kelli was such a pleasant server. She was very attentive to us, especially to my kids who was super hungry. Overall, our time there to include our dinner was delicious!!! Always looking forward to dining in. Their Aina Mule drink is one of the best refreshing ones I've had!!!

Don’t hesitate. Make the reservation. This is the best food I have had in quite some time. We went back for seconds four nights later and were floored again. The staff is wonderfully friendly and helpful. Can’t recommend it highly enough. Go.

We had a delightful evening and our server, Reese, was wonderful. We both had the seafood specials and both were excellent as were the desserts. Highly recommend.

Me and my wife’s anniversary. The food was great with excellent pricing.!! Will definitely return to try something new from the menu.

Overall the food and service was good.
But we were seated next to a really loud group that made our dinner non enjoyable and ruined our get-together.

Food and service were great. No waiting and reasonably priced
